So are we saying that the existence of an ETERNAL BEING is impossible?

by Terry inbefore god began creating.......he wasn't a creator.. before god began creating.....there was nothing......and therefore nothing to know.. before god began creating...there was nothing and nothing to know....and therefore nothing to love.. before god began creating...he was alone with nothing to distinguish him from nothingness except--what?
his mind?

Your attendance at their commend will only reinforce the lie and misperception that they wield power!
But if you do go - have lots of fun with them!
Now who do I know who's been saying exactly that . . .

The whole of this thread is built around the premise of "BEFORE"
You don't say, however, what the object of the premise is. Without the object of the premise the word "before" is meaningless. Before CREATION.
A Creator who has not created is a what? That is my focus; Deconstructing the God idea.
You are interchanging the terms Creator and God. That would be ok but surely we're talking conceptually here and not in relation to, as you put it
an umblical attachment to a largely semitic hodgepodge called the bible.
Conceptually we're are discussing the possibility of an ETERNAL BEING.
If the ETERNAL BEING hadn't (yet) created that doesn't mean he wouldn't/couldn't exist
Eternal self-sufficiency?

As believers in God build around the premise of "ETERNAL" this thread is being argued on completely different premises.
The assumption here is that believers in God haven't considered the premise of "BEFORE"
Frankly that's a bit patronising, very much a blanket statement and suggests that the concept of "ETERNITY" and perhaps more relevantly an "ETERNAL BEING" needs exploring by the author of the thread.
I say "suggests" because I don't know "Terry"

I've said it before but JWs are literally "one click away from the Truth"
I believe it'll take one more generation () before everyone is googling every WT word to check it's validity.
20 years tops I reckon.

What Does Being Spiritual Mean To You?
by sweet pea inright now, to me being spiritual is all about being led by your inner spirit and includes .
1. being in tune with the goodness within and treating people how you would like to be treated.
2. being in tune with nature and appreciating the beauty and complexity of the universe.

That was a truly excellent reply.
I'd stick to your guns about conducting the discussion in person. I'd put nothing in writing.
I'd also only discuss it one-to-one.
Hope she's sincere.
Hope it works out well.
