On Prayer

by kairos in

jw
friends

so many prayers.. consuming.

the obligation.. when did you realize you were talking to yourself?.

As a kid (10-12 yes old if I recall correctly ) I prayed to Jehoover several times in an ernest, sincere attempt to "feel" his love, presence or his will. Not once did I feel a thing. My mother would make excuses as to why I was not getting any feed back which only served to reinforce my doubts about theism.

are our dead loved ones watching over us at all or are they really just gone now?

You decay - unless of course you have been embalmed or cremated.

Things we an say on our death bed...

by The Rebel in

jw
friends

1) i am glad i had the courage to live my life true to myself and not the life others expected of me.. 2) i am glad i had the courage to express my feelings.. 3) i am glad i let myself be myself.. 4 ) and i hope i have so many days, and years to live those thoughts, because surely the most wonderful thing about having left our " watchtower death bed" is to start living?.

in my case at 50 !!.

but the important thing is when we leave, to start living.. any experiences worth sharing?.

My last words would probably be something to the effect of "Well shit, this sucks...."

Superstitious people

by biblexaminer in

the world is filled with superstitious people.

and some of the most superstitious are jehovah's witnesses.. remember, i didn't say they alone are the most superstitious, nor did i say they are on an island.

how do we know that this is true?

SecretSlaveClass

All you have to do is consider how everything "worldly" somehow has Satan or his demons connected to it - that says everything about their superstitious behaviour. I remember my mom burning my sisters rock records, clothes she was given by a lady she later discovered was a "spiritist" and how dubs at the KH would gasp whenever it was suspected someone was "being influenced" by demons.

Welcome! Love your avatar of you smoking ... a nice little "fuck you" to the Borg. It's quite a rush once you realize what freedom is like outside of that liars cult, isn't it?

We may have interbred with Neanderthals earlier than previously thought.

by cappytan in

friends

it is now thought that we have been interbreeding with neanderthals as early as 100,000 years ago.. http://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-35595661.

craziest thing i just realized: some women still breed with neanderthals up to this day.

rihanna and chris brown anyone?.

There is an excellent documentary called "Decoding the Neanderthal" on Netflix which I highly recommend for anyone interested in science and our history. The topic of interbreeding between Neanderthals and Homosapians is covered in the documentary and offers this very fact as a partial explanation for the extinction of the Neanderthal. Apparently it's quite possible that they were simply "absorbed" into the early Homosapian settlers of Europe. According to DNA trace testing (which is largely what the documentary is about), most modern humans have anywhere from 2% - 10% Neanderthal DNA, with those of European ancestry having the largest proportion of Neanderthal DNA. They also discovered that Neanderthals were more advanced than originally supposed. Interesting stuff.

Often times my sheer idiocy has caused me to joke that I may just be partially Neanderthal. Now I know in all likelihood it isn't just a joke but I may well have the world's highest proportion of their DNA and my wife tends to agree ;)

Richard Dawkins has had a Stroke

by cofty in

he is back home and making god progress.. he has issued an audio statement here....

SecretSlaveClass

I'm ignorant with regards to a great many subjects in life and frankly, freely admit to being wrong far more often than being right and certainly never pretend to be right if I am aware That I would have to pull shit out of my ass to pretend I have something meaningful to contribute. It is for these precise reasons I admire anyone who can teach me anything, regardless of who they are or what the lesson is. There are many posters on this very forum for whom I hold the same admiration and express my gratitude for sharing their knowledge. I don't know anyone on this forum personally but compassion still inspires me to post my condolences should any ill fortune befall them, even if I don't like the person or disagree with them.

But if you are the sort that can't grasp the gratitude someone feels toward anyone who has taught you anythimg you might consider valuable, then IMO you have no true sense of value for shared knowledge.

That has got to be one of the worst presented illustrations ever. I'm possitive a 2nd grader could do better for a Sunday school project.
