Haunted evenings,
Watching life slipping away.
Oh, to turn the tide.

The Single Edged Passion
Walking the edge,
Life's fine line,
Is a torturous route,
Sometimes divine.A single slip,
A single tremour,
Could mean success
Or a failed endeavour.More often than not
It leaves us bleeding,
Hurting inside
With fathomless grieving.Yet love fills the void,
If we let it fulfill,
The joy of life
The lessons instill.So will we learn
To eternally mold,
Rebalance attention,
New heart enfold?LT
And another - it must be a bad day!

Life's Lessons in Waves
The sea has passion, in surge and pull.
The power there does quite instil
A sense of fear, a thrill of joy,
And yet who'd dare to be its toyIt's waves can crush a mortal being
Who dares to risk their life, but seeing
A slope of a breast, so ever enticing,
It's like the rise, so everlasting.Hitting a crest, so short, spume topped.
Spindrift flying, power unstopped,
Reminds of life's sweet pinnacle;
The highs, the thrills, before the fall.Then crashing down the other side,
Is seen the plummet, the hellish ride
That sickens heart, makes weak endeavor.
The trough so low, it lasts forever.And yet if you keep strong the heart,
Ride the waves, sense not depart,
You'll see a pattern there and true
Even the seventh, might you see through.LT
Feeling a little morose today.

A similar situation occurred near London Bethel, where the nearest local bar (the Adam and Eve) became a gay bar.
Let's be honest, it was predominantly filled with men, all the time, anyway. No surprises what the attraction was. -

Prayer, Pascal, and the Anthropic Principle
by JosephAlward inthe anthropic principle .
it's true that life as it exists on earth, and the behavior of the universe as a whole, is finely tuned.
these constants, most physicists believe, were introduced at the time of the big bang, when the universe seems to have been created, or at least, to have begun again another cycle of creation.

Sorry to quote the NWT, however:
Romans 1:20 - For his invisible [qualities] are clearly seen from the world's creation onward, because they are perceived by the things made, even his eternal power and Godship, so that they are inexcusable;
I've got to go with Pascal and personal experience, on this one.
The context of this passage, showing Paul's argument, is even more revealing, but I'm not going to post the whole thing here.Regardless of which name one might attribute to the Creator, I would have thought it fairly fundamental to acknowledge that there is a creator. I think that you will find this at the heart of most belief systems.
Subjective science can neither prove nor disprove the supernatural.
Theology, etc., is (at worst) an attempt to explain it.
Whether-or-not an individual finds that too primitive for their level of sophistication, I couldn't say.What I do know is that daddy loves His kids.

Derek,
Is this a true story?
The comment "words like a song" have thrown me.
Nonetheless, it is indeed very sad. Heart-rending, in fact.LT - of the "I tell my wife I love her, every day, and mean it" class.

I agree with Norm.
I had the opportunity to sneak into Bethel, last year.
Their computers are tied down tighter than Barbarella in the scene with the children and the killer dolls! -

NW and Eze 23:20
by Haereticus ini just wonder if by any chance the new world translation is somewhere in the net?
i tried to look for it but mostly i found critisism.
i lost my copy tens of years ago and have to get a copy of my own.. the question in a local forum is about the eze 23:20 in which the nw translated into finnish sounds extremely strange when compared with other translations.

(NWT) And she kept lusting in the style of concubines belonging to those whose fleshly member is as the fleshly member of male asses and whose genital organ is as the genital organ of male horses.
(RSV) and doted upon her paramours there, whose members were like those of asses, and whose issue was like that of horses.
(KJV) For she doted upon their paramours, whose flesh is as the flesh of asses, and whose issue is like the issue of horses.
(CEV) She eagerly wanted to go to bed with Egyptian men, who were famous for their sexual powers.
(BBE) And she was full of desire for her lovers, whose flesh is like the flesh of asses and whose seed is like the seed of horses.

1975 Made Easy.
by Englishman inas i was one of those people who were around during the build-up to 1975, i thought that some of the newer converts might be interested to see how the society arrived at this date with such confidence.. firstly, we need to see how 1914 figures in this.
we need to appreciate, that although the date 1914 is arrived at retrospectively - that is it was assumed initially to be the date of armageddon, only later was it re-written as the date when satan was thrown out of heaven and jesus ascended to his throne.. the society tied this in with the scripture this generation will by no means pass away until all these things occur, assumed that a generation was the average life-span of 70 years, tacked it onto 1914 to arrive at 1984 but also mentioned that some would live to 80 years owing to special strength, then mentioned that this generation would by no means pass away so that quite a wide time slot was available for armageddon to arrive.
this window of time then provided endless opportunities for jws to be kept in a permanent state of anticipation as various events unfolded.

Just a few more maths for you:
{Taking the 4026 BC date, and the rest of the Genesis genealogical information as true, for the sake of conjecture}
Adam was 130 when he fathered Seth, which is presented as occurring after Abel was murdered. Since Cain took a wife and fled, at this time, he must have been at least...??? 15 ???
To round off the figures and to allow for pregnancies, etc. the smallest period of time must surely be about 20 years from the events in Eden to Seth's birth. Adam would be 110, at most, when he left Eden.Surely this would give a maximum time-stretch of 2085 AD before all traces of a {premillenial / 7000 year "day" incorporating the millenium} outlook could be obliterated?
Ah, whatever...
Sheesh!
