  Mormon Baptizing the dead??

  by James Mixon in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  why the big controversy over baptizing the dead, they are dead folks..i know it's a quirky practice but jewish leaders are up in arms because the lds leaders are baptizing holocaust victims..what harm is it??

  ?hell jw's are preaching everyone will go up in flames no one believe that crap except jw but no one is up in arms, they know they walk a different step....the lds leaders agreed to halt baptisms specifically of jews holocaust victims in 2010 but they are at it again, baptizing jews.

  this is funny as hell to me.

  Religious leaders make some crazy shit up. But they have the backbone to lead and people believe and follow.

  Evolution Deniers - An Endangered Species

  by cofty in

  2. beliefs

  evolution explains how everything descended from a common ancestor over millions of years.

  creationists only seem to want to talk about what came before that common ancestor.

  just for the sake of discussion let's pretend that the following is true.

  Maybe I am out of order with my this comment:-

  I am sure I am one of many who have benefited from Coftys O.Ps. I can also understand a poster should post with the strength of their convictions, so I have no problem with that. But I also think a poster should know when their posts become dis-respectful and meaningless to an O.P.

  Now to answer why I believe in evolution. Sadly I am not well educated, I have read no books on the subject, but I think i must face reality, In my opinion if we were made in the image of God, then this image must be seen in all the torture, all the holocausts, all the evil within mankind. This is the " Self portrait of God" And this is my reason for believing in Evolution.

  Now I will respect a poster who can refute my reason for believing in evolution, in their own words.

  Surely by now Slim and Cofty realize interacting on each other's threads results only in negative interaction. May I suggest a truce, Slim stays off Coftys O.Ps , and Cofty stays off Slims O.Ps ?...as an outsider I get tired of the senseless arguing, even if Slim enjoys the provocation.

  The Modern Mind

  we believe in marx freud and darwin.

  we believe everything is ok as long as you don’t hurt anyone to the best of your definition of hurt, and to the best of your knowledge.. we believe in sex before, during, and after marriage.. we believe in the therapy of sin.. we believe that adultery is fun.. we believe that sodomy’s ok.. we believe that taboos are taboo.. we believe that everything’s getting better despite evidence to the contrary.. the evidence must be investigated, and you can prove anything with evidence.. we believe there’s something in horoscopes, ufo’s and bent spoons.. jesus was a good man just like buddha, mohammed, and ourselves.. he was a good moral teacher though we think, his good morals were bad.. we believe that all religions are basically the same-at least the one that we read was.. they all believe in love and goodness.. they only differ on matters of creation, sin, heaven, hell, god, and salvation.. we believe that after death comes the nothing, because when you ask the dead what happens.

  they say nothing.. if death is not the end, if the dead have lied, then its compulsory heaven for all excepting perhaps.

  towerwatchman:-

  i was wondering why I haven't visited this site in over a week:-

  In your O.P I counted " We believe" 15 times. So it would appear you already know what I believe. Anyway thanks for telling me what I believe. Sadly I am sure others posters will contribute to this thead with what " they believe" . However this is a waste of time when all your previous threads are about " What you believe" which you translate as what " we believe.

  towerwatchman...You joined 7 days ago, you have started three topics, and you have created 81 posts. But you have yet to post on any topic other than your own. I think this is a great waste, as this site can be used like a "juke box" Believe me their are other topics than your own. Also it would be nice if you started topic 4 by introducing yourself, I think it would make very interesting reading?

  I've often heard a man's best friend is his dog. On a serious note pets can make great company for the old/ lonely and most defiantly are real friends.

  cnn has the highest rated accuracy level out of any cable network.

  okay, so that's not setting the bar very high.

  but i see people on this forum bashing cnn ad nauseam.

  baker thanks for the video, the message was " The same to everyone, a march that honours our values" And the eerie sensation of having a big stage is that's what people who have center stage do, they create " theatrical theatre". And they use their stage to put their belief and opinion forward. But the video had nothing to do with the O.P, unless you want to be pedantic.

  If the hands up is "fake news" then how is your our avetor of the "Statue of Liberty" different from those girls hand up?

  Having left my Kingdom Hall I would delight to see empty chairs, as much as I would like to think all media is splendid and without an agenda. Now that would be a delight. Or for those that still have a faith, that would be miraculous.
