Cherish Your Doubts
by TotallyADD in

reopened mind and i came across this reading today and i would like to share it with all of you.

for me it was really eye opening and i hope this will help many here to understand why we take this stand against the wt.. cherish your doubts.

cherish your doubts, for doubt is the attendant of truth.. doubt is the key to the door of knowledge; it is the servant of discovery.. a belief which may not be questioned binds us to error, for there is incompleteness and imperfection in every belief.. doubt is the touchstone of truth; it is an acid which eats away the false.. let no one fear for the truth, that doubt may consume it; for doubt is a testing of belief.. the truth stands boldly and unafraid; it is not shaken by the testing.. for truth, if it be truth, arises from each testing stronger, more secure.. those that would silence doubt are filled with fear; their houses are built on shifting sands.. but those who fear not doubt, and know its use, are founded on rock.. they shall walk in the light of growing knowledge; the work of their hands shall endure.. therefore let us not fear doubt, but let us rejoice in its help.. it is to the wise as a staff to the blind; doubt is the attendant of truth.. robert t. weston.

The real reason for the push to get children baptized.......
by EndofMysteries in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
i think the real reason is that many when they are in their teens and able to start thinking for themselves end up leaving by the time they get out of home, never baptized, and still continuing assocation with their family.

the wt doesn't like this loophole, so they are hoping to get them baptised before their teen years so that if they wake up and decide to leave, they will be dfed.

hoping to keep them trapped and be trapped before they understand the religion.

he believes scarcity will be a thing of the past because of nanofabricators (sounds like a replicator for star trek fans).

there's just so much $$$ that people have.. the obama government continues to ignore simple mathematics, and you can't just keep adding taxes and increase fees and simply believe that everyone with a brain will think it's lovely..

Who made the first image ?

.

this week the focus of my byzantium studies is the iconophile/iconoclast quarrel, when people could be bashed etc for having the wrong belief.. one of the things i have to do is discuss the arguements used by each side, and i was intrigued (amused) by an argument used by st.john of damascus.. he asks the question: " who first made images?".

what's your answer?.
