  God ordered abortions?

  by Julie in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i have a question.

  i have asked it in a private discussion with a fundamentalist who cowardly ignored the whole premise of the thought and am hoping there is someone here who can address it.. i am aware of the fact that abortion is one hot button topic.

  it is not my intention to make this a debate about abortion.

  What say you that we attend a Right to Life convention and go around asking people about it?

  The Right-to-Lifers would kill us...

  What if?- A sobering Thought!

  by Bill Parker in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  has anyone ever pondered over the two scripture's at matthew 25: 31, 32 and daniel 12:1?

  the first tells us that the son of man is "sitting down" ... and that then a "separating" work begins.

  then in daniel 12:1 it tells us that when michael "stands up" a great time of trouble ensues.. do you think it's possible he is not yet "standing up?

  Why would this be a sobering thought? Don't you live your life the same way regardless, living it in as worthy a manner as you can? I do, and I have nothing to be ashamed of should a God ask me, "What have you been doing?"

  That's an interesting point, Julie, and one that never occured to me. Of course pregnant women were slaughtered back then under God's orders. After all, they weren't virgins, that's for sure. So it would stand to reason that God was ordering the death of their unborn children. Hmmm....an interesting twist to this usual conundrum.

  Blood in marsala wine?

  by TweetieBird in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  growing up in the borg, i always heard that you shouldn't drink marsala wine because there is blood in it.

  has anyone else ever heard of this?

  any relevance to the claim?

  This would be news to me. Probably another urban legend. I heard lots of 'em back in the 70s. Everything from certain cuts of meat, to certain McDonald's products.

  I have the same resolution for this New Year's that I have for every New Year's:

  Not to make a resolution.

  I've kept this every time, so it must work!

  Because if you beleive you came from nothing.
  Why question that god could come from nothing?

  Well, that gets into the origins of life itself, a different subject than evolution.

  But I guess I'm still not understanding your point. If I have consciousness, and thus I exist as an entity, it doesn't say or prove anything about anyone or anything else.

  Oh well, don't worry about it. Thanks for trying to elaborate. I'll respect the fact that you can believe what you wish.

  For You Know: Life in 1960

  by larc in

  friends and neighbors,.

  on another thread, "bad news for you know", i pointed out the amazing changes that have occured in the quality of life since 1960. you know maintains that life has been going down hill since then.

  after about 25 unanswered posts on that thread, i figured that he was not going to address the facts.. now, what i would like to propose is that you who remember life in the 1960's, to list some of the conveniences and inventions that the average person did not have then, that are readily available today.

  Sheesh. Get some new material at least.

  Seeker,
  I will try but it's not easy.
  Conscious life, life that knows anything, to know something makes you an entity.
  Hows that?

  Thank you for elaborating. OK, I'll grant you that consciousness implies existence. Because I am aware of my surroundings, I exist, I am an entity.

  But how does that prove God's existence?

  LOL, funny you should mention the Hamlet episode. As soon as I saw the title of this thread, the following song from my favorite episode sprung immediately to my mind:

  "I asked to be,
  or not to be,
  and that is the question,
  that I asked of me..."
