Proof of any Dragons

by pleaseresearch in

does anybody have any proof of the existence of dragons?.

we read in revelation about satan being the dragon, but aren't dragons mythological creatures?.

Beards

by pgjallan in

i left the witnesses.

returned full bearded, which drew censure from a district overseer: “peter, you can’t witness door-to-door with a beard”.

bewildered, i asked for an explanation.

It is 5am and I still can't sleep. Contemplating life, doing research on religion, world history, science...

by Stepford Wife in

my husband is still asleep but he will get up in about an hour for work so i'm going to quickly tell you my inconclusive conclusion.

i don't know if i can believe in god anymore.

i have come to the simple conclusion that he is either dead or evil but he is definitely not loving.

Live a good life.

If there are gods and they are just, then they will not care how devout you have been, but will welcome you based on the virtues you have lived by.

If there are gods, but unjust, then you should not want to worship them.

If there are no gods, then you will be gone, but you will have lived a noble life that will live on in the memories of your loved ones.

(This quote is often attributed to Marcus Aurelius, however it is uncertain that it actually was him. Still, a good philosophy to live by...one does not have to believe in God to be a good person...and if God would destroy a good person just because that person doesn't worship him, who would want to worship a jerk like that?)

Aliens exist and YHWH (Jehovah) was one of them.

by Jehovah Was An Alien in

"the constellation of the seven stars forming the pleiades appears to be the crowning centre around which the known system of the planets revolve even as our suns planet obey the sun and travel in their respective orbits.

it has been suggested, and with much weight, that one of the stars of that group is the dwelling place of jehovah and the place of the highest heavens; that is the place to which the inspired writer referred to when he said: "hear thou from thy dwelling place, even from heaven" (2 chronicles6:21) ; and that it is the place to which job referred when under inspiration he wrote: "canst thou blind the sweet influences of pleiades, or loose the bands of orion" – job 38:31"

the constellation of the pleiades is a small one compared with others which scientific instruments disclose to the wondering eyes of man.

THE SHADOW OF 75 still hangs over us all . . .

by Terry in

few of your are old enough to have been there, i suspect.

i had been in prison two years as a jw conscientious objector when the exciting news about 1975 spread like wildfire.. .

i was paroled from prison in 1969 and immediately began pioneering.

I hold some resentment my parents for living through that and not seeing it for the false religion it really was.

I don't completely resent them for it, but I do harbor a little.

I know, they were brainwashed, it's not their fault, blah blah blah.

Sorry. The Tight Pants Tony Talk wasn't nearly the disappointment that 1975 was, but it still shook me awake.

by cappytan in

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ulswb2avxvc.

let's set aside our differences for the moment and appreciate this excellent documentary cedars put together that should prove to be an invaluable tool in helping to expose the child abuse issues in the organization.. i was humbled to be able to help with this project on such an important subject, though my part in it was insignificant..

Over 6,400 views! Let's hope this goes viral.
