Why don't you research the word "troll" in the context of an on-line pin name. You wear it well.

Hopefully for your sake, its a short wait. Meetings tend to become repetitive after a couple years. After going over the same book 4 times at your bookstudy maybe you'll catch on to the fact that you've sold out to a printing corporation. A corporation that doesnt really do anything for you excpt take your cash and give you bad information. Then when you decide to leave, they will make things really interesting. But you'll find these things out on your own. Check back once you do. Im only 27 so barring any catastrophy Ill be around for 40-50 more exciting, freedom filled years.

Oh and another promise for SIT. You are going to die. Despite what your bi-monthly dose of "the truth" tells you(or ever has told you). Do yourself(and us) a favor and make a positive difference while you still can. Please.

It must be nice to have a family that validates our passions and accomplishments. Mine sure never did. Now I am set to graduate from college despite the setbacks I feel they gave me. I am a talented athlete. Growing up a Jdub you can imagine how my childhood was. The football team walked in front of my house everyday on their way to practice. Now at 28 I will be finishing college completly on my own.
Question-They asked to be invited to my commencement ceremony. Should I invite them? I dont think they deserve to play the "proud parents in the audience" role, when they were really nothing but an obstacle to my accomplishments.

Just so you know Joel; I used to be the sort who was quick to laugh or discriminate against "homo's"(remember I was raised JW). But because of your intelligent, thought provoking posts(and those of a few others), I have really changed the way I view others. Just the little I read from you, I can tell you have a lot going on upstairs. Your a talented guy. Please do not underestimate the contribution your making to the people you come into contact with.

Symptom 1. Delusions of grandour(God has me on his speed dial)(miracle wheat)
2. Loss of ability to seperate reality from fantasy(millions now living will never die)
3. Problems adapting to community(thanksgiving is evil)
4. Delusions of persecution(what can I say)
5. Working delusions into a belief system(ok shooting fish in a barrel is not fair)
I wonder if the current members of the gov. body are just trying to play with the hand they were dealt or if they to are delusional?
Any comment?

The eventuality of man is the same as animals
by OlderTom inwas it ezicle who said the eventuality of man is the same as for the animal, as one dies so does the other.
or something like that.. man has to die because he sinned, that's the price one has to pay.
what sins have animals committed?

I understand limits and laws. Jump out of a tall building and you will die. (its not the fall that kills you its the sudden stop) I dont understand a father or creator killing its offspring(for whatever reason). Animals die but the species lives on, humans are no different. Think about it. My son is here to replace me! If Im worried about living forever, I will have to instill qualities in him that I would like to live on after I die.

Wouldnt it seem logical that Adam and Eve would have to understand and or be familiar with the concept death if they were to have that as a conequence for sin? To me it only seems fair to hold someone accountable if they truly understand the consequnce of their actions.
And didnt God tell them that they would die the very day they ate from the tree? So whats up with that? They didnt die. They lived on for quite a while. So Im confused evidently Gods definition of"Die the very day" is different. Maybe they(Adam) wanted to die(isnt that a possibilty too?)? Maybe if they were aware of the true consequences(supposed human suffering) they would have reconsidered.
I am starting to lean toward the thought that the idea of sin is really just an excuse for our bad choices(or why we make them). Its nice to have an interesting legend that allows us to have a reason for why we do some of the bone headed things we do.
Having a child I realize that when kids are young, and you try to hold them accountable for some mistake they made,and I ask why, they just shrug their shoulder and say "I dunno". And as far as they are concerned, thats true no excuses. As we get older a realize that mistakes are almost always a result of a bad choice, we begin to make excuses and rationalize our behavior.
Another point I grapple with, is what was the point of testing Adam? Is not death the worst possible punishment? What did it prove? God can kill us? ok so then we are dead. The fact that we can bother God to the point that he needs to kill us makes me wonder what sort of love he ever really had(so conditional). I kill mosquitos when they bug me(cause I dont love them) is that the same thing God did to us?
And another thing. God used swords in the garden. Whats up with that. Bizaar.
