  If you don't understand what "accretion" is---how can you understand Bible?

  by Terry in

  1. jw

  morality, in order to be anything, cannot be everything.. it cannot be both good and bad.

  a standard must be definitive.

  borders and boundries define exactly where is is.. what is the bible?.

  For the sake of argument (for God in this case), I think it boils down to a more fundamental question. Why anything? God didn't have to create anything or anyone. I would go so far as to say that creating what could never aspire to be on God's level, was already a bad move? And yet, it wouldn't be, because here we are. Even if God made a bad move, you're still happy to be here, aren't you? The only way he could deal with inferior creatures is precisely by lowering his standards. There is simply no other way. No one could be on God's level.

  For me you would first have to prove there is a god. Which could be why we are all humans dealing with humans on this planet called earth.

  For tec, are you blond?

  i just attended a "reducing your stress" training, sponsored by my company, and training staff used the methods of "thework", founded by kathie byron.

  in order to reduce your stress, you have to inquire yourself and put everyting you believe in, in doubt.

  by the end of the 2 day work shop, i have all my "cult" warning lights on.

  If I may inject a correction here. It is actually Byron Katie

  Great stuff and I truly believe this kind of help, or any help that resonates with you and what you may be dealing with or need at the time comes when we need it most. Like most help we don't need it forever, nor might we want to hang onto it as a crutch but just to get us through and teach us so we can move on.

  Oh and my experience with Byron Katie, yes she helped me to get out of that circular thinking my JW upbringing taught me. It makes you really think about situations in your life which may be limiting you or holding you back. Anyway thanks for the reminder of her incredible work.

  i was given the link to a bit of information regarding on old poster/moderator of this forum.

  i was not sure of the validity of the information so have been trying to find out if it is true.. earlier today craig's estranged wife, kate, (bikerchic) confirmed that craig died at his home on aug 10, 2011.. i am sure that many people here remember craig's time here and how he went out of his way to offer support to posters, even calling them, to give whatever help he could as they adjusted to their post-jw lives.. i know many people here will grieve his loss.. --------------.

  ps i tried posting this earlier but the computer i was working with would not allow the posts.

  creativespirit: " My condolences to Kate; you were lucky and blessed to have had him as your mate."

  I truly know this and I know I am in such a much better place today for having Criag in my life. I'm not sure too many people can understand this, possibly only those who have gone through simular experiences. He gave me so much and he always said how much he loved coming home to my smiling face. He did make me smile. He was a very unique person that few took the time to know, one of a kind.

  I once wrote that Craig is the kind of man who could taste the salt of my tears and could always calm my fears. I miss him.

  Thanks Lee, I felt it was something Craig would have wanted. He found so much solace here on JWD he wold have wanted to thank those who cared enought to think about him.

  Doug it was so good to talk to you! You know Craig thought of you and AlanF as brothers and your friendships and conversations meant so much to him. You take care of yourself and lets keep in touch!

  Scully, yes he had an infectious laugh, a wonderful smile and a very warm hug. Hey I'm glad you got at least one out of three. ;-) Take care dear.
