  I forgot: Which one of them is BANNED from even posting on this forum anymore because of their antics, lying, bullying, and hard-pigheadedness? 'Nuff said.

  I only call it as I see it.

  Simon can ban anyone he pleases for any reason. That's the prerogative of being the boss.

  Just because someone isn't banned doesn't mean they're not full on Gomer Pyle mixed with Christian Evangelical craziness and irrational.

  There are plenty of people on this forum that are sane and plenty that "need a little help" if you get what I mean. There are also people on this forum that "give apostates a bad name."

  Sorry, WingCommander, but Kim and Mikey aren't just "a bit more country."

  They're full on Gomer Pyle mixed with Christian Evangelical craziness.

  On the rationality front, Cedars wins hands down.

  On the ego front, Cedars vs Kim 'n Mikey, they're neck and neck.

  A TRUTH isn't always the same thing as a FACT.

  A truth can sometimes be subjective and can depend on the persons point of view.

  A fact is always a fact, no matter the perspective.

  Truth: "It's cold outside!"
  Fact: "It is 50 degrees Farenheit outside."

  For some people, 50 degrees F is cold, so staying, "It's cold outside!" is a truth...for them and others like them. However, someone from Siberia might think 50 degrees is quite warm.

  That's why it's important to deal with facts and not truths.

  sorry but i really feel like i need to rant right now.

  recently my dad was made an elder so my family has been doing a lot more "theocratic" activities lately.

  every morning i wake up and put on my itchy dress and stupid makeup and heels and then pretend that i love what i'm doing and that everybody is my friend when in reality i feel horrible and all the other teenage girls at my hall hate me for some reason.

  They have been implying mental issues for those partaking "mistakenly" since at least 2003.

  For instance, some might ask themselves: ‘Do I use medications that affect my emotions? Am I inclined to have deep emotions that I could misjudge?’ (par 20)

  Making the 144k figurative doesn't mean they'd suddenly have to believe everyone is going to heaven. They would keep their two-class system, and just put heavy emphasis on the 144,000evidently meaning the number of Christians with a heavenly hope would be a very small subset in contrast with the "great crowd".
  The concept of paradise earth is one of the most appealing aspects of the Witnesses to the majority of those who sign up. Thus, you'd still have the vast majority holding to that hope. The percentage of partakers would definitely spike, no question. But I think it would stabilize rather quickly. Probably no more than 5%, quite likely less than that.

  Stop giving them ideas.

  This would be a great way to build up a skill and then get a job that may allow you to move out when you're old enough and support yourself while you continue your education in some form or fashion.

  I concur with The Listener, et. al., and know from personal experience that learning skills like that can help you support yourself. Excellent suggestion!

  asking this q because my own feeling about this is that he probably believed in god but his evolutionary thesis is used to support atheism.

  Christians and Atheists have something in common. Christians are atheists to Zeus, Thor, Odin, Osiris, Ra and Molech. Atheists don't believe in those god's either...they just believe in one less god than Christians.

  they say ignorance is bliss... well, i wish that god did not give adam free will.

  i am ok to not have free will if it means i will live forever in perfect paradisiac conditions.it has been explained that free will is a gift from god.

  they say 'who would want to live life like a robot?

  James...show me one scripture that refers to those commandments as the "10 commandments."

  The term "10 commandments" is a colloquialism. The commandments colloquially referred to as "The Ten Commandments" are a part of the Mosaic Law.

  I assume that since you think we should follow the 10 commandments, we should observe the Sabbath? Because that was one of the commandments.
