  My mother chose it when I was born. It took me 31 years to figure out how to get rid of the

  baggage.

  I still have some little bags and cases at 60.

  There is no scientific evidence there were any neanderthals.

  Evolution is humanistic religion masquerading as a pseudoscience.

  Carbon dating and various methods of dating the earth being millions of years old

  are a farce they don't work.

  If dating doesn't work for something you know the age of. How can you have any faith

  that it works when you don't know the age.

  You're out of the tower. Now its time to start using your own brain and not some charlatans.

  Jam. There are arguments and evidence on how Adam could be the first man, made by

  highly educated people. The same with the earth being young.

  Google it and take the time to learn and then decide.

  If you really want to restore your faith, watch Kent Hovinds video series.

  I know mentioning his name will get peoples underwear tied up in knots, which to me is an indication

  the man speaks the truth.

  I only mention this because you ask for help restoring your faith.

  In matters of faith regarding God and the bible this site is what it says it is

  an apostate site.

  The most extreme apostate stance against God and the Bible, the antithesis is atheism.

  Everybody has to use their own minds and reasoning powers and decide for themselves

  to the best of their ability what is going on.

  We go out of this life like we came in alone. Your not going out with anyone else so don't worry about

  following anybody else.

  Find out first hand. There is lots of information on contacting the spirit world aka demons.

  When you find out. Probably no one will believe you or they will look at you funny.

  My brother tells me he has dealt with demons numerous times.

  He says they hold him down and don't let him move.

  He says he talks to them and they end up leaving him alone.

  He ask them what are you trying to prove. I know you are real.

  My brother is 59 and has told me he has dealt with demons/ spirits since he was in his 30's

  through to the present day.

  He has not been a witness for 30 years but he does do things the witnesses would look down on

  such as leaving his body and having out of body experiences and visiting the dead on the other side.

  My brother sets up tape recorders and records white noise and finds voices on the tapes, voices that say

  things you would think demons would say, like "there's going to be a murder". He takes pictures of people and

  finds orbs on them. He blows the orbs up and finds pictures or drawings in them. I have seen them.

  My brother would say there is something there. Something in another dimension.

  I spent a career dealing with wackos in the jail, my brother does not strike me as a wacko or schizophrenic.

  He strikes me as being well read and informed about various possibilities.

  My brother has always worked and had a somewhat responsible job and never been treated for

  any mental conditions.

  I would describe my brother as a psychic explorer, a pschic adventurer.

  I believe in magic white and black.

  I think a lot of it is misdirection, deceit, deception and creating illusions.

  I don't practice magic, but I think magic is practiced on us as citizens of various

  governments and countries.

  I think for many being deceived and deluded can lead to warm fuzzy feelings

  of comfort and happiness.

  are we crazier than we used to be?

  by Xanthippe in

  2. friends

  there seem to be so many tv programmes about horders whose houses are filled with rubbish that they can't throw out, peope with claustrophobia or other phobias, people with depression or anxiety illness.

  i am not being accusatory because i've had depression but i'm just wondering what on earth is society doing to us?.

  has there always been this level of mental health problems and they are just being given a label now and help is finally being offered?

  James Brown you have pointed out a painful reality in USA. We throw our crazy people in jail instead of giving them the very help that they desperately need. I think it is shameful to leave the mentally impaired on their own with no options. It is a shame on our culture when many of these disorders are treatable but only if you are well enough to have the sense to take them and have the money to avail yourself of it. It's a Catch 22 because these people usually can't keep a job in order to get insurance in the first place. I think many homeless ones today are in this situation and if only they got some needed help they could pull themselves out of that situation. :(

  It does seem to be a catch 22, because many are alcholics and substance abusers and are delusional.

  If they were all thrown into a mental hospitals which I dont think we have at this time. Then they and their

  defenders would be saying that they were being misstreated.

  It seems a lot of people that cant or wont work figure out how to get social security disability at some point.

  Then when their delusions get them in trouble with the law they end up in jail.

  It seems like most of them were sane enough to get into the army and then when they get out and have

  to work for a living they loose their sanity.

  Working does seem to drive some crazy.

  Are we all self-deceived?

  by cognisonance in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i recently read a interesting paper in the behavioral and brain sciences journal entitled, the evolution and psychology of self-deception.

  in it (section 5 particularly) it talks about what the researchers claim to be varieties of self-deception (note that the linked paper has peer review responses as well that suggest that there might be some misclassification to what is considered to be "self-deception"*):.

  biased information searching amount of searchingselective searchingselective attentionbiased interpretationmisrememberingrationalizationconvincing the self that a lie is trueself-deception accompanied/unaccompanied by neurological damageof the categories above, i found biased information searching and biased interpretation to be the most interesting.

  I think we are all deceived about God, or lack of a God and where we came from and where we

  are going.

  I must be deceived as well.

  My deception tells me that we are programed or genetically engineered to be smart enough to

  exist as we do but we have been engineered to be incapable of figuring out what is going, especially

  as a group.

  There is much junk in our DNA to support this hypothesis.

  Born-ins... Did your parents let you watch the 1960's children's animated series "Davey and Goliath"?

  by Calebs Airplane in

  my parents used to let us watch this series growing up.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wei5oek53h8&list=plsg87pnp-rju50meptced92tlyyym7wir.

  ... until one day they noticed it was actually a production from the evangelical lutheran church of america... .

  then, it became prohibited.... the only explanation they provided us thereafter was that this cartoon was made by satan and his demons.. .

  I could pretty much watch whatever I wanted. There were only 3 channels and I had to go to meetings 3 nights

  a week. So that put a limit on my tv time.

  I could watch what I wanted but I was ground down with education was bad and thats where I spent all

  my juvenile years was in school thinking how bad I was for being there.

  How do I help someone who is manic-depressive?

  by skeeter1 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  someone close to me is a jw, and manic -depressive (or so i think).. for several decades, this person has way overspent.

  to the point of not having $50 at the end of the week.

  he makes decent money (about $1,000 a week), lives at home (no real living expenses), and no dependents.

  In Florida unless they are causing harm to themselves or others their is not much to do.

  If they are harming themselves or others they can be Baker acted. You would probably have to call the Sheriff for that.

  People that are really crazy are hard to deal with and can be dangerous.
