i think of a reporter that breaks a huge story about some corruption in the government who won't reveal his source of information.
the government uses anti-terrorist laws against that reporter to try to force him to speak.
the laws are designed to protect the people and are used in a warped way to protect the government and allow it to hide it's corruption.
OTWO! You are a beautiful person. I can't tell from your avatar, but you know from the heart's abundance. . .lol! I would love to meet a lot of the people who post here too.
We forget sometimes what we all have in common. I've always thought when you look for what you have in common with someone else it's much harder to be mean and a lot easier to be tolerant and compassionate. Thanks for the reminder!
New light from an angel is the joke. Everyone knows that's not how it works.
for many years i was sincerely perplexed when someone told me they believed in the evolution theory or were an atheist.
i never understood how someone could ignore all the evidence for intelligent design and overlook all the holes in the evolution theory.
for example, the human biology clock is synced with the rotation of the earth, the earth is the perfect distance away from the sun to sustain life, the earth has an ozone layer to protect us from the sun's radiation, the earth naturally produces fruits and vegetables to be used for food, our bodies produce enzymes to break down the fruits and vegetables so it can nourish us, the earth produces water and oxygen, etc.
Ha! Well, the dragon does have wings in some of the paintings. I'll give you that.

Marking to watch later.
I love this show, btw. Makes me want to move to Austin and meet some like-minded people.
has this verse been explained on this site?
many translations say "from house to house".
is this correct?

i am one of the few people on earth who never had a jehovah's witness knock on my door.
my wife was the first witness i ever met.
i did notice certain personality traits after being around some of the people who left the religion.
They are taught to see themselves as superior to me because they have the truth and I'm a non-believer. Does that do some long term psychological damage for the JW? Does it create narcissism?
Yes. How else would you act if you believed you were in the one religion that had everything right, the only one that pleases Jehovah, the only one that he directs, and the only group that will be saved? Have you ever heard a JW admit to being wrong about something they believe? I haven't. Even if it's something that's changed, they use a euphemism-- "new light". It's never a mistake or untrue or wrong, it's a new understanding. I find it absurd to believe that out of the thousands of religions and millions of people in those religions, I happened to be born into the only true one.
was the bible forged?
author claims some new testament books were written by 'people pretending to be apostles'.
by daily mail reporter.
This book is on my amazon wishlist. This isn't new information, but I didn't know it.
so what kind of people are drawn to the jehovah's witnesses?mostly i'd say unhappy ones!
(not talking about born in ones) .
i look back at my life, and say it was my unhappy mother, who infected our family.
The "happiest people on earth", huh? I can see the same things in both of my grandmothers who converted. They were both negative, paranoid people. I think that's part of why I was never happy as a Dub, I prefer to look for the good in everything.

Still no one has posted any type of facts that supports the evolution theory. All I'm seeing is more theories, assumptions, and speculation.
Shall we call this selective vision? We have provided links with information for you. No one's going to hold your hand and walk you through it. Read it and see if it makes sense. Did you notice on Berkeley's website the article about the Atlantic tomcod's evolved resistance to PCBs in the Hudson River or the link that says "What is the evidence for evolution?" It makes no real difference to any of us if you believe evolution is true or not. Evolution won't send you to hell for not believing in it. If it makes sense to you fine, and if it doesn't, fine; just don't ever try to teach biology to my kid, that's all I ask.
