The Revealing Science of God by YES
Dawn of light lying between a silence and sold sources,
Chased amid fusions of wonder, in moments hardly seen forgotten,
Coloured in pastures of chance dancing leaves cast spells of challenge,
Amused but real in thought, we fled from the sea whole.
Dawn of thought transfered through moments of days undersearching earth
Revealing corridors of time provoking memories, disjointed but with purpose,
Craving penetrations offer links with the self instructors sharp
And tender love as we took to the air, a picture of distance.
Dawn of our power we amuse redescending as fast as misused
Expression, as only to teach love as to reveal passion chasing
Late into corners, and we danced from the ocean.
Dawn of love sent within us colours of awakening among the many
Won't to follow, only tunes of a different age.
As the links span our endless caresses for the freedom of life everlasting.Talk to the sunlight caller
Soft summer mover distance mine.Called out a tune but I never saw the face
Heard but not replaced
I ventured to talk, but I never lost my place
Cast out a spell rendered for the light of day
Lost in lights array
I ventured to see, as the sound began to playWhat happened to this song we once knew so well
Signed promise for moments caught within the spell
I must have waited all my life for this
Moment momentThe future poised with the splendour just begun
The light we were as one
And crowded through the curtains of liquid into sunAnd for a moment when our world had filled the skies
Magic turned our eyes
To feast on the treasure set for our strange deviceWhat happened to wonders we once knew so well
Did we forget what happened surely we can tell
We must have waited all our lives for this
Moment moment momentStarlight, movement, reasons
Release forward
Tallest rainbow
Sun shower seasons
Life flower reasonsThey move fast, they tell me,
But I just can't believe that I can feel it
There's someone to tell you,
Amid the challenge we look around in unison with youGetting over overhanging trees
Let them rape the forest
Thoughts would send our fusion
Clearly to be homeGetting over wars we do not mean
Or so it seems so clearly
Sheltered with our passion
Clearly to be home
They move fast, they tell me,
But I just can't believe they really mean to
There's someone, to tell you,
And I just can't believe our song will leave you
Skyline teacher
Warland seeker
Send out poison
Cast iron leaderAnd through the rhythm of moving slowly
Sent through the rhythm work out the story
Move over glory to sons of old fighters past.
Young christians see it from the beginning
Old people feel it, that's what they're saying.
Move over glory to sons of old fighters past.They move fast, they tell me,
But I just can't believe they really mean to.
There's someone, to tell you
A course towards a universal season.Getting over overhanging trees
Let them rape the forest
They might stand and leave them
Clearly to be home
Getting over wars we do not mean
We charm the movement suffers
Call out all our memories
Clearly to be homeWe've moved fast
We need love
A part we offer is our only freedomWhat happened to this song we once knew so well
Signed promise for moments caught within the spell
We must have waited all our lives for this
Moment momentPast present movers moments we'll process the future, but only through him we know, send flowered rainbows
Apiece apart chased flowers of the dark and lights of songs to follow and show all we feel for and know of
Cast round
You seekers of the truth accepting that reason will relive and breath and hope and chase and love
For you and you and you. -

Does God still exist for you?
by nakedmvistar ini'm quite new to this forum (only a handful of posts).
but from what i've read up to now, it seems apparent that some of you have abandoned your belief in a god.
is this because of trauma brought about by the jw religion?

The Watchtower vs. The Bible
by UnDisfellowshipped inhere is a list of contradictions between what the watchtower society says and what the bible says:.
the watchtower says that judas iscariot left the lord's evening meal (memorial) before jesus instituted the new covenant and passed the wine and bread.. what does the bible say?:.
luke 22:13: they went, found things as he had told them, and they prepared the passover.

Jo, I had just recently put down one of my Lhasa's...that too sucked.

Regarding Acts 1:24-26.
Since Jesus chose and hand picked his Apostles HIMSELF when on earth, surely he would STILL be the one choosing them from heaven when deciding who to fill Judas's place, right? I would think so.
Afterall, Father handed ALL AUTHORITY over to Christ. I would think ALL AUTHORITY means ALL AUTHORITY, including choosing the Apostles."Jehovah" is a defilement all by itself.
Even more so when it is put in a place where it ought not to be...In Jesus place.The NWT is VERY inaccurate in regards to what is true in the Greek texts.
ALL AUTHORITY and ALL POWER = ALMIGHTY
Could that be what Father gave Jesus?? PERMISSION to be Almighty in His place? I believe that to be so.

>> the only concept which Jesus ever taught,<<
Yo Frank...I appreciate many of the viewpoints you have and the eloquent way you express yourself, matter of fact, we agree on some things as I have noted.
But the above I believe is a mistatement. Jesus teachings were in fact a double-edged sword weren't they?
For instance, the two roads. Wheat and the weeds. Comparing his return to Noah and Lot's day. Any much much more...I was wondering why you sidestep Christ's bitter teachings? They were part of his message too. How do you reconcile Christ's teachings of good and bad?
Regarding God's justice, I don't believe it is infinite nor does it have to be, I do believe it is perfect and it has to be.
I believe God's mercy would be infinite, but not global, He administers it where He desires to.Frank, give me your view/definition on justice and what it means in relation to God...would you?

First and the Last of Rev 1:17 - why in caps?
by Trotafox inreferring to the excellent "kitchen" witness scene in gregbetre's thread regarding jw's denying the deity of the christ, i do have one question..... .
rev 1:8; 17-18; 22:13 states that jesus christ is the alpha and the omega, the first and the last, and the beginning and the end.
i don't think it is true that all jw's will say that rev 1:17 refers to jehovah.
