  Something to think about...

  by Jack C. in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  has anyone ever seriously considered the possibility that the bible could be misunderstood due to incorrectly interpriting which person (first, second or third) it is written in?.

  for example 'in the beginning the elohim created the heavens and earth.

  " (third person).

  brainwashing & mind control techniques.

  the term "brainwashing" came into common language through the work of american journalist edward hunter who was an expert of oriental issues; the very word being the direct translation of chinese "hsi-nao".

  News Item!! The Biblical NT story has been PROVEN to be a hoax!!

  by Jack C. in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  ok i lied; there's no such news item.

  however, imagine for a minute that it was indeed fact and that the evidence was irrefutable that the new testiment account in the bible was proven to be a hoax started by the early constantine government and perpetuated by the church over the centuries.

  now, if you are of the atheist persuation it seems plausable that your reaction would be something similar to "i told you so" and that life would go on pretty much as usual.

  How would you spend your time?

  by Jack C. in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  let's say it was revealed via the media and scientific community that a planet wide catastrophe such as a large comet or asteroid impact or even a brush with a large planetary body or black hole was emminant and that it was certain to devistate the planet in say 18 months.

  how would you spend the remaining time?

  if the event was considered possibly survivable by maybe a few million what action, if any would you take?

  For the board atheists....

  by Jack C. in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this is a personal observation and certainly not representative of all atheists.

  i enjoy discussions with folks of this persuasion; in general they appear well read and somewhat more educated than many believers.

  as a group most atheists cringe and become insensed when discussing the existence of a deity with believers especially fundamentalists.
