  I would not have made intelligent creatures as weak frail and as transient as mankind.

  what do you consider sinful?

  okay, i know many of you no longer believe that there is a god.

  just bear with me a little, just assumed that there is a creator or god.

  My Father has brandished me with the "APOSTATE" word for talking about the BIBLE!

  so after three years of fading, my elder father has never really asked why we have chosen to stop attending.. today, after a mixed discussion, he starts talking about the "solution to all the world problems" and says "i don't know what you now believe, but i believe gods kingdom will fix everything" i let the comment go, and didn't respond.. then he goes on about the video "remember the wife of lot" because he just came from the convention last weekend.

  "don't get caught up in this system...blah blah".

  i couldn't help myself, and said one thing "dad, that video failed to show the next chapter of that account.

  He Stucky - I know it's hard, have some pity though - his WHOLE life and future are based on the lies.

  What is left when that is taken away especially when you are older and have made so many sacrifices?

  It is very hard to let go. It is frightening.

  Once you've proved the truth to yourself you don't need to keep trying to disprove it...

  i was told this during my judicial committee (some five years ago) when i brought up concerns i had with the "truth.

  " in addition one of the elders (who was an engineer) said once you've accepted a proof of pythagorus' theorem you don't later start doubting that theorem.

  i thought that argument was a weak analogy then.

  THE WORST D.O. I have ever seen (and his horrible insulting wife also) gave a talk at an assembly and made a GIANT point about how "YOU CAN'T DISPROVE THE TRUTH"

  All I thought about (besides wanting to punch him) was hmmm bet you can't Disprove Leperchauns or Sasquatch or the Loch Ness Monster.

  Because if his talks and his wife's LONG interview where she counseled everyone, patted her self on the back often, and said Stephen Hawkings is stupid - it was the WORST ever!

  Voyager 1 & 2 40th Anniversary of their Lift Off

  fourty years ago nasa sent two probes that were to go on a mission ,voyager 1 and voyager 2 in two trajectories through our solar system getting what information they could from the planets they passed close by.. 40 years later they surpassed all expectations and are still sending signals back to earth.. voyager 1 has actually gone into what is termed interstellar space that is it has exited our solar system free from the constraints of our own sun having travelled some 13 billion miles from earth.

  voyager 2 which was on a different trajectory will soon itself leave our solar system and go into interstella space having travelled some 11 billion miles from earth so far.. both of these satellites/probes carry messages from the world of humans / governments to whoever might find it (alien life forms ) if they exist and find these probes.. my attention is drawn to the bible account of the tower of babel which really couldn`t have been that high seriously.and yet jehovah god felt threatened by what man could achieve if they had one universal language ?.

  what must he be thinking now i wonder ?.

  Ok - as an Elder I saw on a number of occasions - and was made to myself "ALTER" the experience of an INTERVIEW to make it what the CO wanted.

  Literally changing something that actually happened and made people LIE about their OWN experiences.

  The "circle" of the earth

  a fair bit of time was spent discussing the (one) scripture in the bible that "proves" that when the bible touches on scientific subjects, it is absolutely correct.

  this was at the most recent clam meeting this past week.

  from isaiah, the reference to the "circle" of the earth.

  Ah - do you remember that the "bible" said Sampson dug honey out of a dead lion carcass and carried it across a desert area to give it to others to eat. (in his hands)

  Why are some of you treating this like it is more than a BAD fairytale????

  Every Circle I have ever made was FLAT - 1 dimensional.

  Surely the Creator of LANGUAGE would have been LESS ambiguous (if there was such a being).

  FYI - In the entire history the biblical Israelites, they NEVER discovered or invented ANYTHING.

  just thought i'd start a thread about favourite movies.

  mine, in no particular order, are .... alien - a great visual film.

  the chest-bursting scene is still great to watch, no matter how many times i've seen the movie.
