  I won't cut my beard!

  by caballoSentado in

  2. friends

  some time ago i learned of the un affair & saw the truth...i am fading away now so i have not been attending meetings regularly for some time, specially the book study.

  two days ago, i learned that a letter was read in my book study regarding personal attire, and it was said that one should not grow a beard (this letter was not read in any of the other book studies).

  they say you are not a good christian, you are not spiritual, if you grow a beard.

  postulates a Creator that made the universe and then left it to itself.

  This idea is acceptable within Deism but only some believe this.

  Secret WTS Social Agenda

  by spaz in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this is a both a departure from the conventional paleo-hellenic concepts of logic to a primitive yet equally tenable principle of,'actions speaking louder than words', and a synopsis.. the wts is but one of many groups which are devoted to the disintergration of the traditional or biblical family structure, via nefarious means, as part of a greater plan that envisions a two-class new world order resembling feudalism.. .

  the philosophic means to achieve this state is non-biblical.

  the wts repudiates the christian principle of "loving your neighbour as yourself " by adopting an altruistic approach which demands to 'love your neighbour above yourself ".

  Now you are an old lady in a wheelchair, Spaz?! That's the best yet! Or will you say this is another "parody" like when you claimed to be an elder's wife who molests children?

  Thank you, Valis, for posting to following info:

  This seems closer to me than anything I have found yet. It also seems to fit the bill for several others who replied on that thread. I need to look into this further.

  I agree with:

  • reject unconfirmable revelations
  • reject religious bigotry
  • question authority
  • "presence of a superior reasoning power, which is revealed in the incomprehensible universe"
  • creation speaks a universal language
  • view myself as a part of nature rather than trying to "subdue" or "take domination over" it.
  • belief in a God

  Not so sure about confining prayers to thanks and praise only (i.e. not being able to ask God for guidance, help, etc.) Perhaps I am misinterpreting this.

  Anyone familiar with Deism? Comments? Criticism?

  Thanks
