  I hope Bill doesn't ever sell-out or water down his rhetoric. Unlike most politicians and talk show host he really has something to say.

  His point on religion is right on point. That's the beauty of being 'independent' you can say things like that and people will say 'oh, that's just Bill.'

  Bill is one Caucasian male whose views on racism I respect. Albeit, I don't agree with him half the time on the subject, I respect his honesty and his apparently sincere attempt to understand the situation. He comes across as a person who will readily admit that he doesn't understand a situation, but he is willing to try. He also gives equal time to Afro Americans on his show panel.

  BTW, is his show still on the air - I haven't seen him in a while?

  Peace - Larry :)

  am i dreaming this up, or aren't they a pagan symbol?

  if so, why would jw's continue to use them as part of a marriage ceremony in jehovah's eyes?.

  Everything is Pagan - from names - to floor patterns - to thought process. We owe everything to paganism, no pagans no modern world and no BORG.

  Thank God for Pagan influence.

  Peace - Larry :)

  My Brother Begged Me To Come Back To Jehovah & His Organization!!!

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i recieved a 7 page "note" from my brother and his wife pleading with me to come back to jehovah god and his organization.

  he said the devil was after me and my family and that the results will be disastrous unless i come back to "jehovah's protective custody".

  also, it was strongly implied that unless my family went back to meetings and went out in field service, most jws, including family members would not attend my daughter's wedding and reception.my wife, daughter and i have been overtaken by the devil, according to him.

  Hey Min - Wouldn't it be interesting if you accepted the comeback only for investigational purpose. Imagine writing about the BORG from the inside. This way you could ask more thought provoking questions on JWD :)

  hello i am new and this will probably be the last time i post.

  nice forum by the way but honestly and with all due respect it is not something i would like to be associated with.

  i joined saying "oh cool a jw forum" but after reading just 2 posts i realized it is the black veil all over again.

  Hmmm, I never thought about H20 like that, but now that you mentioned it, you may have a point.

  I have noticed that when newbie's come here they generally like this place - they get excellent support

  I wonder how this place will/have evolve over the years.

  Time flies doesn't it. I see from your number of post that you are an active member. If we were to use BORG comparisions, you would have missionary status :) Keep up the good work, your contributions are needed.

  I remember the good ole apostate days on H20, what was your handle then?

  I would want to get it over with that instant - I don't think I would want to wait it out. Two minutes to wait for death could seem like a life time.

  Is your 'reality' just thought?

  by Markfromcali in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  most of the time there seems to be talk that essentially consists of whether this thought is better, is more logical or makes more sense - but what about the nature of it being just thought?

  in one way this may seem obvious or boring so as to be easily dismissed, but for example when it comes to religious beliefs things can get really screwed up, even if you think your particular brand is better.

  (however, this would not be limited to religion) it would be like someone who thinks everything on tv is real, and being disinterested in that fact in favor of being entertained by the various stories portrayed in all the shows.. consider the follow quote from thought as a system by david bohm.

  Ok I found them: The Ending of Time - J. Krishnamurti and David Bohm. & The Future of Humanity - J. Krishnamurti and David Bohm. Bohm is a difficult read (at least for me) but K says the same thing on a simplier level. I will post some of K's stuff soon. LL :)

  Predestination and Dubs

  by Farkel in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  dubs are one of a few unique religions that sprung up from the second adventist movement in the 1800's.

  they are unique in that they believe in "greater fulfillments" of prophecies recorded in the bible.

  they believe that bible characters and bible groups foreshadowed their equivalent "classes" of people in modern days.

  Damn, that was an excellent reply re: the ranson. I haven't read or thought about that subject in years. To bad being a Christian is based on faith and not of facts.

  LL :)

  PS - Take your time about getting that info., but when you do get it please post it on the board.
