january one.
genesis one wt mental gymnastics.
gen 1:1 earth created in the beginning, ?
Now if somewhere in the bible god had said something like, e=mc2, then you would have some proof of a god.
Genesis is like a low budget bad bad movie with 100 plot holes, a contradictory storyline, continuity issues, and a week story where you can't suspend belief.
And I bought it look line and sinker for most of my life :(
we were supposed to be dedicated unconditionally to jehovah god.
we were willing to be persecuted to the death if need be.
if it came to taking a blood transfusion or dying, we were loyal to jehovah and would be a martyr for god.
I think there was a long stretch of my life where I would have had to say YES to that question.
So sad to look back a that.
some people on this forum have said that they never really believed any aspect of wt teaching, that they couldn't wait to get free of it all.. others seems to have been really gung ho, believing it all until something happened that got you questioning "the truth.".
i would say my own high water mark was about 50%, which put me squarely on the fence, trying to decide if i should be in or out.. how about you?.
MOST OF IT!
I got it as a kid, and progressed to becoming an uber elder, model family....
I had issues with the Science stuff.
Like the Flood never seemed right, I had always tried to figure out other explanations.
But I was 100% in for most of my life.
Then there were just a series of dominos that fell rapidly.
i don't know if this topic has been covered before - it might 've been.. i also recommend flipper's excellent music thread ('what songs have you been listening to?
', or similar).. but, i'd just like to start a thread about certain songs giving me goosebumps.
y'know, when you hear a song that profoundly effects you in some difficult-to-describe way and the hairs on your arm stand on end even though the room temperature's comfortably warm.. so, which songs give you goosebumps?.
Also - Jungleland (when Carence does his solo)! BRUCEEEEEEE
Ghost of Tom Joad (when Tommy plays in my opinion best solo of all time!) BRUCEEEEE!
Baby Come Back - by Player (Because of childhood memories that are attached).
Defying Gravity - from Wicked - Idena Menzel (WOW)
Songs in Phantom.
Songs from La Boheme (with Pavarotti)
There are a lot for me.
so this weekend my girlfriend and i will move into our own place together.
it turns out that “a cord of three strands is stronger” is bullshit and two people in a relationship are perfectly capable of being happy without outside influence.
what a journey i’ve had since leaving 3 and a half years ago!
WOW!!! VERY HAPPY FOR YOU!!!
