Going to a library that has New Scientist or Popular Science or Scientific ect, pulling out some issues from ten years ago and jotting down just how many of the ‘radical breakthroughs’ and ‘startling discoveries’ of that era are still an accepted part of science now.

Fact-A fact is a statement that is consistent with reality or can be proven with evidence. The usual test for a statement of fact is verifiability — that is, whether it can be demonstrated to correspond to experience.

Experience is subjective.

If someone says, “That is subjective” during a discussion, it means that whatever has been put forth depends upon a point of view from one or more subjects, but that point of view may not be shared by all because of personal situations and experiences. It means the speaker can think of examples or knows of examples where the opposite is perceived by just as many subjects.

Realization of something very close to a supernatural force but scientific

after finding patterns in lottery numbers and thinking about if random truly exists, i also flipped a coin for awhile.

i was counted how many times i would get heads and tails and if they would equal out in the end.

if heads slowly was getting ahead too much, i would suddenly get a bunch of tails in a row to almost equal it out.

Do that under controlled conditions and James Randi will give you a million dollars.

Thats just it, I probably would not be able to due to his vibration or whatever you want to call it.

To be fair, I have meet a few people with the dice ability that tore my butt up. Very few and far between.

It is a proven fact that energy can be, has been and continues to be ...ummm, manipulated.

Its also a proven fact that people are nucking futs. lol.

Things which must shortly take place!

by PJ Delaney in

things that must shortly take place... the true understanding of the “generation” mentioned at matthew 24:34 may soon be revealed!.

This is one of the many reasons why cults are so damaging.

I cant rationalize it anymore.

If there is an all powerful worthy of worship 'god' ...It has made a very, very poor case for itself.

As a father I simple could not play 'peek a boo' with my children while there lives were at stake, or their souls. This is the 'god of the bible' ... inconsistent and out of touch with its so called "creation".

May be a bit off topic and leaning towards the supernatural but I have consistently been able to throw dice and make whatever number come up that I want for many many years.( And can change the other throwers dice, though I try just to make my mind stick to my own) I just wish it had a practical application. LOL.

Seriously anyone thats ever played dice with me( dice alone)( not board games with dice, although I do well there to) does not want to play with me after I annihilate them. But ask me to play a card game , I may as well wither up and blow away. So odd.

Why are JDubs scared to death of apostate websites?

by Sour Grapes in

when i was an elder back in the 1970's i loved to debate and challenge ministers, preachers, and holy rollers.

now you can be a loyal jdub fully indoctrinated for 30 years but just take a peek at an apostate website and you are doomed.

yes, satan now has you by the gonads and all of the years of being at the meetings, all of the family worship nights, all of the conventions, and all of the personal study just go up in a cloud of smoke.

That feeling of once you look 'jeho' knows you did, and even if no one saw, 'jeho' did, and you know your not going to make it into the "new system". But your to afraid to tell. 1000s of prayers later maybe god will forgive you like he did Manasseh for murdering all those people. One reads articles on 'jehos forgiveness' then slips again and visits an apostate site. Whoops, thats you reading this you JW you. LOL Muhahahaha

Just asked JW wife to quit

so i wont get into why i asked my jw wife to leave... theres another thread for that lol... but more out of pure curiosity i asked her just now... "in order to save this marriage would you leave the jws?

", it was a snap call no, like not even a second to pause and think about it, which kinda took me back a bit, followed by a angry "why would you ask me that now?

" (shes going out witnessing with my kids and her friends).

caves

You act like giving your last name to someone is the greatest gift you can possibly give mankind. She owes you nothing for the last name.

You barley speak about your kids, I feel you are just looking for approval to leave.

Sounds like your heading in the direction you want and need to.

I get it, married to young. She changed. Love is gone, or was it ever there, sortof thing.

Are you still seeing that other person? If so what are you waiting for?

You said- 'I'm kinda at the point where I feel our marriage is unsalvageable regardless'.

If you are at that point, and since you asked her if shed choose the jws over the relationship, then this is "spiritual endangerment" as Londo111 said.

Your already well in that category.

These 'tests' you are presenting your spouse are only going to be used as fuel for you to be the scapegoat. Perhaps you do not care about that. In the short term it may be even gratifying on some level to instigate. But with jws it will and often does bite one in the a@@.

I try not to imagine worst case scenarios but this religion is one of such that those scenarios however uncomfortable must be followed thru until conclusion.

Everything you do is directly from 'satan' Id imagine after your question to your spouse. That is just the justification a jw is groomed to look for.

Your post jumped off the page at me today and for good reason.

I have seen when many (men and women) approached it this way , sortof nonchalantly, that later they wished they'd have taken action. Before more S%t hits the fan. And more will be hitting that fan at this point.

If I were in your shoes. Id do a total flip. Act as if you were on the verge of confessing it was the "truth" and just blurted out nonsense.

Stifle your vomit long enough to sit thru a few meeting here and there.

All while getting your attorney and ducks in a row.

I wish I had the opportunity for a remake of my life surrounding these types of issues. I wish I had someone telling me what was about to happen or could happen years ago.

Good luck!
