  One Simple Question

  by magotan in

  2. bible

  if we are to serve jehovah because of 'selflessness' and because 'love him' and not because of 'what he does for us', how is the 'promise of the paradise' not selfish?

  the faith hinges on it!.

  this has bothered me for a long, long time..

  as many of you know, my mother passed away this past week.

  sitting here in the quiet of my hotel room i recalled a repeated wish i had since i was 10 years old.

  "if only mom would die i would be free (of the jws)".

  Obama's speech writers used the strawman fallacies yesterday

  seems they liked using that fallacy a lot--.

  president obama has an, at times, well-deserved reputation for delivering his speeches well.

  certainly, the president made an impression today when he delivered his second inaugural address calling for a bolder, more expansive government that would be committed increasingly to the principles of liberalism, with characteristic soaring rhetoric.. unfortunately, another characteristic was also in evidence in obama's speech: namely, his tendency to argue against positions that nobody holds (and by extension, to mischaracterize his opponents' views so as to make them easier to argue against).

  deficits matter ... to the Banks who own this country... Thats where they make alot off money off the interest.. both parties say the want to reduce deficits.. but they wont.. their bosses won't allow it

  think about it .. it's simple math and they have the power to fix it but they don't ... yes it is that simple ..

  yep!!! it's all F'd up now when I look at anything.... in the bible once your eyes are opened you can't shut them ..

  If Jesus paid the price why do we have to believe it.. the debt was settled or it wasn't..

  I wouldn't kill my kid because GOD told me too .. either

  the list goes on and on...

  did the angels have a tree of good and bad senario.. why or why not.. they sinned and lived.. double standard..
