Pretty cool, it amazes me that we don't have this in the US. It seems that if America is going to continue to spend so much of its intellectual captital on crap like facebook, the rest of the world will continue to pass us up. Here is a great article why we got facebook instead of Mars colonies. Time to stop providing worlds security and re-prioritze what we're doing.

Do People Believe We Are Condemned B/c of Adam and Eve?
by Band on the Run ini find the notion that we inheirited sin through adam and eve to be a quaint, silly notion.
if you believe in the power of god, why would god create such a flawed creation?
few people believe the stories in genesis.

@unstop- tootiredtocare do you see rev 13:8 saying something different?
And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. KJV
That scripture is subject to interpretation, it says FROM not BEFORE so one could easily argue that the lamb was as good as slain when the first act of disobedience occured with Adam and Eve from the beginning of the world of mankind. So yes like so many versus in the bible they say different things to so many that is why there are thousands of different forms of xtianty because god is a really sh1tty communicator.

you are forgeting one huge part, rev 13;8 jesus was the lamb before adam even existed he was already the sacrifice, prepared before creation. not only did god know what would happen it was his plan for jesus to redem mankind.
Think about what you just said very carefully. If God chose to forknow what would happen and still created man anyway, than he is 100% responsible for all the evil and suffering that has ever happened and he must own it. There is no way out of this. If he did know it all and wanted man to experience suffering for some perverted reason, I cringe at pondering the question of why? I do always find this stuff interesting to discuss, but I do believe it all to be fairytales. Everything makes much more sense when you realize that the concept of god is just that.

AAAAHH!! DO you really want this "everlasting life in Paradise"?
by hamsterbait inthey argue that we never tire of our food , never tire of sex (except the single resurrected who will be celibate) etc etc, there is so much to see and do.
so we all want to live forever and never die:.
life in paradise -.

I had very similair thoughts on this. I didn't see a few key items in your schedule that are sure to suck more of your time though.
- Mandatory bowing down to Jah 7 times a day
- Bible studies indoctrination of the newly resurrected
- Sermon preparation and meetings, Meetings and more Meetings (re-learn every year why we must attend all 12 days of the annual convention)
- Making meals to take over to all the gatherings every week, that you may not feel like going to.
I'm sure I missed a few but this certianly does not leave much time and/or freedom to pursue your own dreams E.G. build that awesome space craft to explore star systems, or harness some new power source, or focus on that music composition on your own timetable etc. Being a witness gave me a forgleam of hell not paradise. Oh well, different strokes for different folks I guess.

Thanks for that Blondie (huge fan btw). The inconsistency of god throughout the bible has never really added up.

For me, I most dreaded midweek meetings and Saturday morning field service. I would almost have a mini-anxiety attack before every Thurs night meeting the last two years I was in.

One that was constantly hammered into my head growing up is the one in James about "faith without works is dead". I never could reconcile that one, or John 3:16 versus Revelation chapter 12 (letting the known child molestor into the playpen with the kids so to speak).
