all religions have doctrines.
these doctrines, without exception have been "invented " by man.so it does not matter which religion you choose, you are relying on what a man or group of men say or think what god wants.
various religions have different ways of indoctrinating a person into believing in what he says.
If you elect to join a religion just wipe out the doctrine part and you are back to the basics which is useful to run a society and generate the necessary laws to live with
Are you serious??

perhaps you recall the instance in the bible where samson made a wager with the philistines that they couldnt guess his riddle.
as it turned out they wheedled the answer out of him by his fiancee, but the point is that they had a wager.
since the underlying assumption of the apostasy is that we are not living in the last days of this system of things, and that this world is not facing anything remotely like the biblical apocalypse, at least not any time soon, in the spirit of such antagonism, i would like to propose a similar wager.

The tap dancing starts on pg 20 of this thread. It would appear YK has no honor.
what would it take for islamic extremists to give up on terror attacks against the west?

i mean, god knew his son would be faithful to death (because of prophecy...not much of a test on j.c.
eh?

You gotta quit smoking that shit Johnny!!
is it just me, or are all old earth creationists (besides jws) also of the opinion that the noachian flood was local?
my reason for saying this is that the jws pat themselves on the back for being old earthers (oh yeah, their not creaionists!
lol) but then use patently young earth creationist flood models.
I'm not sure about the others but the frisbeterians still subscribe to the flat-earth doctrine.

do the words highlighted in red sound familiar to anyone here?
president bush has announced his plan to select dr. w. david hager to head up the food and drug administration's (fda) reproductive health drugs advisory committee.
In the book Dr. Hager wrote with his wife, entitled "Stress and the Woman's Body," he suggests that women who suffer from premenstrual syndrome should seek help from reading the Bible and praying
This guys way in left feild, all I ever saw in the bible about mensrtal cycles or pms, was somewhere in Leviticus. Something about women being considered "unclean" (like lepers) and to be confined or avoided. Somehow people are supposed to find this book comforting??
