Conspiracy theories.
by chrisuk ini'd just like the opions of some of the more clear thinking member on this please:.
let me just start this by saying i don't really buy into conspiracy theories, but sometimes they seem to make sense, i suppose that's the point of them.
all this business with edward snowden seems to add a little more weight to certain conspiracy theories.

Chrisuk
I think ancient religion, is intertwined throughout human culture and governments today. Just think of the god of each government posturing in today's world crisis is the one and the same god of th OT. The Abrahamic Yahweh Jehovah Allah god. That mean brutal war god with a strong bloodlust to kill and blame the victims. It's no wonder this father of the lie who calls himself a jealous god and the only true god and will have no other gods before him, is in the middle of every bloody war and genocide. He wants to keep us enslaved to him and our material life on this material planet. He knows there is the True God Almighty of Light, the one who's only begotten aspect is the Christ, and it's no wonder this Christ was not the slave to the Yawheh god, the father of the lie. He was one with his heavenly Light above, His Father. No mention of Yawheh or jehovah in the NT. No cruel rules to kill your enenmies and sacrifice their blood, this God of the Christ. Christ taught the principle of love as the first thing. To find that light connection to God within yourself and express the love and goodness that is within toward one another. The Christ came from the Light above to give this knowledge of this principle of His kingdom, and one day after we leave the corruption of our bodies, our God Spark will return back to His light, as we are all soul beings with that spark of spirit that Yahweh wants to keep trapped in the organic matter on this earth where their is corruption, aging and wearing away, and slaving for the temporary things of this material world.
So, the dark forces that work with these Yahweh Jehovah, Allah, Satan gods are the ones who have brought these miserable, chaotic situations between humankind in their governments. They are gods of chaos, not love, or peace.
Chrisuk - I believe the numerous conspiracy theories, illuminati, and Secret Societies are all manipulated thru dark forces that feed off the energy of the fear, hatred, drive for power & war, and suffering of humankind. I try not to energize my thoughts on them, and just know that by focusing on the goodness and Light of the Christ, that works with my own inner light that connects with the Heavenly Father of Light, I am confident that all will be well and we will be ok.

I Believe Catholicism And Its Trappings Are Silly, Strange & Weird!!!
by minimus inmy italian friend loves going to the "feasts" that occur in italy, boston or nyc.
these feasts feature a "saint" with dollar bills pinned around her and they parade the saint in a long procession and chant "viva (whomever)".
they are quite serious about this and are proud to talk about the past generations of observers who appreciated the events.

I don't view the Catholic Church as "Silly, Strange & Wierd!!!" I was raised Catholic before being lured into the JW cult at a vulnerable time in my life. I'm not big on any organized religion to put my faith in any more after leaving JW's. I do feel the Catholic ceremonies music and religios ritual familiarly comforting nad satisfies some spiritual needs within on some level under some cirmcustances. I thnk many former catholics return to it for some of the reasons below. I don't have an issue with this. I think all good comes from religion in the sense of communtiy caring and sharing and trusting in hgher powers to bring feelings of faith. Below are some reasons I beleve returning to the Chruch can be good for many of us who have left the WT Cult.
Shana
Because we want to help other people.
There are lots of opportunities within the secular world to volunteer. What's missing is the spiritual dimension that service within the Catholic Church provides. It's more than just a "feel good" activity. It's part of the "great commandment" (See Mark 12:28) to love God and to love your neighbor as yourself. In reaching out to others, Catholic volunteers become instruments of God's love. The Catholic Church offers opportunities to touch the lives of people at home or around the world
Because we want to be part of a faith community.
Many of us seek a sense of belonging. But community is more than just friendly people, good sermons and interesting activities. A Catholic Christian community is a group of people who gather around the person of Jesus Christ to worship God and live in the light of the Holy Spirit. Catholics come together at Mass, in the Sacraments and in parish activities to pray, to celebrate joys, to mourn losses, to serve others, to provide support and to receive strength for daily life. A Catholic parish offers all of this - and much more - to people who recognize the importance of walking with others toward union with God.
Because the Catholic Church has the fullness of truth and grace .
Many of us who leave the Catholic Church are blessed by the experience of worshiping for awhile in various Christian denominations. But some people come back when they realize that Catholicism has the fullness of truth and grace. The Catholic Church was not founded by a single reformer or historical movement. It is not fragmented by individual interpretations of Scripture. There are thousands of Christian denominations, but only one Catholic Church. This Church has been guided by the Holy Spirit and protected from teaching error on issues of faith and morals from generation to generation for some two thousand years, as Our Lord Jesus promised: (foretold Isaiah 22:15-25) Matt 16:13-20; Matthew 18:15-18 (in this verse the word is church, not community); 1 Tim 3:15.
Because we made mistakes.
Some of us become burdened with the weight of accumulated sin. We want to get rid of the guilt of having hurt others. We begin to ask ourselves, “Will God ever forgive me? Is there any way I can start over with a clean slate?” You can always tell God that you're sorry, but through the Sacrament of Reconciliation you have a complete assurance of God's forgiveness. In addition, you are reconciled not only with God but with all the members in the Church, the Body of Christ (CCC 1440) and given the grace to start again with that new slate.
Because childhood memories surface.
Some people say childhood memories of feeling connected to God surface in later life. We begin to ask ourselves, “Is it possible to recapture that simplicity of faith? Can I ever really believe that God is watching out for me?” The secularization of our society leads people away from the spiritual side of themselves. The Catholic Church offers BOTH religious and mystical experiences that feed the heart, the mind, the body and the soul AS WELL AS an array of active lay ministries that interface and interact with the secular world in order to make it a holier world to live in.
Because we want meaning in life.
In the hustle of today's busy lifestyles, many of us suddenly realize that our lives have lost a sense of meaning or purpose. We begin to ask ourselves, “What is my life all about? Why do I do what I do?” There is widespread confusion in our culture with regard to morality and truth. The Catholic Church offers a beacon of light that gives meaning to our existence and leads to eternal life if we persevere.
Because we want to be healed.
Some of us carry deep spiritual wounds. We struggle with anger at God over bad things that happen–a terminal illness, a debilitating injury, a broken relationship, mental or emotional problems, an act of violence against an innocent person, an unexplainable accident, some natural disaster, the death of a loved one or some other deep disappointment. The Catholic Church cannot change these situations or explain why they happened. But there are people in the Church who can assist in the process of spiritual healing and help you get on with your life.
Because we need to forgive others.
Sometimes we hold on to anger and resentment toward individuals who have hurt us deeply. Maybe it was a family member or friend. Perhaps it was someone, (a sister or a priest), or something in the Church. “Will God ever forgive me?” Our modern culture condones and encourages anger and revenge. But hatred and bitterness are spiritual cancers that eat at the heart of a person. The Catholic Church provides the opportunity to seek God's help in forgiving others, even when the other person does not ask for forgiveness or does not deserve it. The ability to forgive is a gift that opens a person's heart more fully to God's love and peace.

I've been enlightened.
by Emery inive been lurking for quite sometime and now feel the need to come and noob it up.
it's taken a lot to bring me to read anything critical of the wts.
i used to glance at these apostate sites and shutter in fear because of the obvious demonic venom that can be found :) i am still an active witness and have been in this struggle to stay both in and be removed mentally from this organization.

Hi, Welcome. I don't beleive there is anything but a dark force these men represent. Certainly the Heavenly Father Christ spoke of was nto the NT god. Lurking and taking in the many things taht are talked about on these boards, is very helpful in clearing the brain washing.

The God Essence, Divine Fabric of Everything, the All
The Three Aspects of Being
Each and every being is also part of the Soul and will return back into the fabric of their soul, and they are not alone in this. Each and every being has as part of their being others who surround them on the higher states of consciousness above the third dimensional reality.
There are guides, there are angelic beings, there are ascended ones, there are indeed many who surround and protect and guide as they can; and finally, each and every human being has the three concepts of selfhood, or the three aspects of being. Each is connected to their spiritual divine nature through that which is the High Self and they also have that which is the evolving consciousness of the low self.
Shana
All this is a creation of the ongoing consciousness of that which is God, that which is the spark of God Essence that is in All Fallen Angels and the troops of God occurred. It was not a battle at all but the choice to either remain within the fabric of the Essence of God or to depart from it. There was no anger or hatred, and there was no battle between these two forces
The Angelic realm: Those who chose not to Separate
Shana
Those that stayed within the vibrational conscious energies of that which is the flow of God without separating have gone on to have those experiences that are unique to those levels of consciousness; the angelic realm, many of them are of that nature. The Fallen Angels if you will, chose to leave that stream of consciousness to have the experiences that they had, in 3rd dimensional physicality and it has already been spoken of that the leader of those forces of that action has already been welcomed back into the heart of God and the Essence of the Divine. Therefore, ALL can find their way back.
The Three Aspects of Being we are emminations of the Divine ALL, The Pure Light of that One who's light emmenated into us. We are of True Ligjt. the Source of all that is, the effible ligh
