While thats a good suggestion OTWO, that book too would be ever evolving depending on what was whispered on any given day. There is no diffinative "truth", its all subject to the whims of a what people "hear", meaning what THEIR understanding is on any given day. If the creator cannot convey even basic ideas without the People who receive them misunderstanding, i question the so called creator and his impotence in the most basic of all things, coveying concepts to his creations.

Image of God - the Bible or Christ?
by tec inpeace to you!
i wanted to get some thoughts out there on this subject, because there are so many people who look to the bible as the image of god.
to the point that they do not look to christ at all, but rather they look to the law or to moses or to the ot as the image of god... over... christ.

No. Thor is protector of midgard (earth) not a killer of its inhabitants. Only frost giants need fear, and i am no frost giant.

70 JWs in horrific crash on way to a Convention
by Nambo inentire family, 20 others die in fatal accidenttragedy struck weekend in akwa ibom state as a man, his wife and all their children, as well as more than 20 others, all members of the jehovahs witness church, perished in a fatal road accident which occurred, friday, along the utu etim ekpo road in etim ekpo local government area of the state.. forty other members of the church sustained varying degrees of injuries following in the crash which occurred on their way to the jehovahs witness annual convention ground in ikot ekpene local government area of the state.. thisdays gathered that more than 70 members of the church had hired a lorry to convey them from ukanafun local government area to ikot ekpene for the annual district convention which began on friday and billed to end today (sunday) but the journey ended half way with many members of the church dying on the road in the accident.. eyewitnesses alleged that the driver of the lorry conveying the church members to the venue of the convention lost control of the vehicle when he got to utu etim ekpo, the junction opposite the local government secretariat, and hit the stone used to construct the roundabout, thus resulting in the lorry somersaulting, leaving many of its passengers and others wounded.. the corpses and those injured in the accident were said to have been taken to neighbouring hospitals and mortuaries.. one of the eyewitnesses, mr. friday john, said the people who died may have been more than what was seen because a whole family including parents and their children were all trapped in the accident.. we were all here discussing when suddenly the lorry appeared and was looking like the driver had lost control of it.
then the lorry drove straight and hit the stone and somersaulted into the gutter.. many people died, more than 18. in fact, we couldnt count the number because there were many corpses, including husband, wife and children and they were all taken to the mortuary in various hospitals near etim ekpo here, john explained.. in another narration, a secondary school teacher in eka uruk eshiet etim ekpo, mr. ndipmo nkanta, said the lorry boarded by the deceased and the injured passengers was not meant for passengers but goods only.. he blamed the accident on poverty , arguing that if there was a better alternative, such casualties wouldnt have been recorded, especially as they were going to worship god.. the public relations officer of the federal road safety corps, frsc, in the state, mr. godsgift uwen, blamed the incident on over-speeding and overloading by the driver of the lorry.. he said the lorry was not supposed to carry any passenger as it was a meant for goods only but the driver stubbornly used it as a passengers vehicle, which led to the sad incident.. he advised against rush and drunken driving, especially in the yuletide, noting that these are some of the major causes of accidents on the roads..

This is very sad... What i find even worse is that the WT will find some way to co opt their deaths for their own ends... " that it was satan" or " proof of the wicked world" or something equally as insulting....

So utterly hurt.
by LouBelle intoday something happened that hurt me more than the jwks, more than the shunning, more than my sexual molestation, more than my hellish years at caxton and more than the year i've just had.. the moment i was told this, i felt like my insides had been ripped, torn, shredded and my heart squeezed of it's very life.
i put my head in my hands and for the first time in my life let out a primal gut wrenching wail.. my father had asked my gran why she has been treating me the way she has (which hasn't been very nice).
he though it strange considering how in the past i have helped her and given her so much.

A reboot would be fabulous (of the prequels) but lucas is far to proud i think to let that happen

Disgusting
by Vegas Girl ini was reading the find whitney heichel page of fb and the moderator has posted info about another missing girl in oregon (non-jw) well, apparantley this missing girl has some sort of a past or something and people are getting on the site (mostly jw's) and making rude remarks about this girl has a bad past and that it's prob her fault.
i can't fathom how they can get on there after the horrible tragedy of whitney and yet because this other missing girl is not jw somehow now they attach fault to her going missing.
this is exactly why i can't deal with jw's.

As some have pointed out, its sick that a woman wouod be abducted and raped but then have to defend if it was rape or not. My gut reaction was to scream that no elder in the world would ever question the claim.... But i fear thats not true. Current org policy is to ask if she screamed and probly make her relive it.... Its really sick

Survey: Who here is an atheist? Who here still believes in God?
by Christ Alone ini just wanted to take a survey.
let's not let this get into the same old same old debate of atheism vs belief.
just respond with "atheist" or "believer" or "maybe god exists".

And for the record, i was of course joking about Thor winning. He wasnt actually running for anything that i was aware of so that was a bit of levity i admitt. The Thunderer dosent actually care if you vote for him or believe in him because.... Hes a freakin God. He dosent need you or me or anyone else to be a god. He just is. But he does like hanging with bad ass dudes who know how to handle their buissness and women dont take crap from anyone. Its just how he rolls...

I find it deadly serious that you discount my belief in Thor. There is far more evidance and more reason to believe in the Thunderer than the desert god (aka god of the bible whos dubbie designation i refuse to utter). I agree this shouldnt devolve into a tired argument over god or no, but dont discount my beliefs. They are as valid as anyone else's.
