i've noticed a few of us here on jwn are of the fanboy/girl ilk.. fanboya passionate fan of various elements of geek culture (e.g.

sci-fi, comics, star wars, video games, anime, hobbits, magic: the gathering, etc.

), but who lets his passion override social graces.

How long into the future do you feel it will take before the majority of mankind give up on "God" to solve their problems?

i mean the above question out of sincerity and honesty and not trying to belittle anyones beliefs or lack there of.. my point is if armageddon don't happen or the rapture within the next 1000 years or so, how long will man keep holding out hope for a divine being, whether it be jesus, jehovah, allah or "fill in the blank" to come and solve all the problems?.

do you feel that there is a timetable of any sort?.

if god hasn't manifested himself/herself/itself in say 5000 years from now to all mankind, do you think the majority at that time will still be clinging to a belief in a higher power if nothing at all has changed as far as their "appearing,coming, calling us to them etc."?.

The Most Hateful Christian Group on Earth Today?
by sizemik in
1. jw
2. friends
i'm very hesitant about starting this thread .

because i don't want to judge anyone or inspire hatred myself.

also, i believe i'm past the anger/bitterness thing well and truly.. so i'm asking this question not out of emotion .

Sorry about this absolutley CRAZY insight to my mind.

hello everybody.. even thinking about typing this thread as i lay here in bed at 11.30 at night, is hard enough, but i found some sort of motivation to do it.. i dont expect a massive response really, i guess all i really want to do is empty my mind out and stop things whirring over and over.. i am worried for my brother (younger brother he is 23) he is in guernsey channel islands (uk) and is in and out of intensive care drugs etc an there are a thousand more strings attached.

(drugdealers after him, homeless, jobless, about to go to prsion long story).

its a worry for me as his older brother.

i have never heard crude talk.
