A BB full of musical illiterates eh?

i am so upset i don't know where to begin!
i met this guy back in dec. at my job, during the first week i started.
(i had a post in the past about my dating him, he's a jw) everything was going cool, except for the fact that: 1) he had a second job as a producer/dj and 2) he didn't have a car, he had to borrow his parents car.
That is so sad.
I'd suggest listening to Boy George and Culture Club's "The Crying Game" right about now. You need it. :-)
May you find true love.

There is no Jehovah
Joel 3:3
3 They cast lots for my people
and traded boys for prostitutes;
they sold girls for wine
that they might drink.
Deut 32:28
They are a nation without sense,
there is no discernment in them.
Deut 32:32
32 Their vine comes from the vine of Sodom
and from the fields of Gomorrah.
Ps 106:39
39 They defiled themselves by what they did;
by their deeds they prostituted themselves.
Jer 2:23
23 "How can you say, 'I am not defiled;
I have not run after the Baals'?
Ezek 23:37
they even sacrificed their children,
Ezek 23:38-39
39 On the very day they sacrificed their children to their idols,
Ezek 36:17
Their conduct was like a woman's monthly uncleanness in my sight.
Matt 21:16
16 "Do you hear what these children are saying?" they asked him.
Ezek 36:13
people say to you, "You devour men and deprive your nation of its children,"
Ezek 36:12
you will never again deprive them of their children.
Mark 10:14
He said to them, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them,
Luke 18:16-17
16...Jesus called the children to him and said, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.
Ezek 37:25-28
They and their children and their children's children will live there forever, and David my servant will be their prince forever. 26 I will make a covenant of peace with them; it will be an everlasting covenant. I will establish them and increase their numbers, and I will put my sanctuary among them forever. 27 My dwelling place will be with them; I will be their God, and they will be my people. 28 Then the nations will know that I the LORD make Israel holy, when my sanctuary is among them forever.'"
a thread started by realist which mentioned the flood and the disappearance of the dinosaurs got me thinking.
since i do not own a bible i had to download one from the internet to check a few things out (my computer is really pissed at me now).
it's been many years since i read the bible but i needed to be accurate in my research to ask my question.
That was a classy exit Dave.
Cheers!

>>i don't understand.
i honestly do not understand how active jws can be presented with hundreds upon hundreds of cases that have occurred all over the world, and casually deny that there is any problem.<<.

The reason is quite clear I believe.
They CAN'T admit there is a HUGE problem of MORAL corruption and degradation within their ranks because IT BLOWS THEIR VOW / LIFE LONG BELIEF OF JW's BEING GOD'S ONLY TRUE RELIGIOUS ORGANIZATION ON EARTH!!
It is as if they are being stripped naked and nude for all the world to see.
How can "Jehovah's" [I hate that WORD being used for God by the way] TRUE VISIBLE ORGANIZATION be so OVER WROUGHT with the most detestable disgusting degrading thing on the face of the earth?
Simple.
Because it ISN'T.
Fruitage people. LOOK AT THE FRUITAGE just like Jesus said.

I personally do not need to believe in myth to be a good person and be happy.
You are absolutely right by YOUR OWN definition of happiness and good. But...
A few realities that were once called 'myths' because of lack of understanding:
the earth being round
atoms
germs
XRays
Lack of understanding doesn't necessitate a reality being a myth, rather just a lack of understanding.
In Noah's day, so much of the KNOWN static physical laws would have been put to the test SIMULTANEOUSLY at such a cataclysmic event, I don't think anyone could just explain it all away with simplicity.
Besides, what's harder to believe, the flood or bringing the dead back to life?
For me, the latter takes more faith than the flood. My faith believes God can raise the dead. HOW? Beats the $h_t outa me...
Flood? Beats the $h_t outa me...
Bottom line, if your HAPPY great! But, I don't understand why the inquiry?
