What Does Prayer Actually Do?

if you think it works, what is your evidence outside of possible coincidence?.
Simon

Even if you're like me and you believe prayer works, its dangerous to put it into practice to preform medical miracles. Its irresponsible actually.
You should watch the latest Ricky Gervais special on Netflix where he covers exactly this:
"Do the thoughts and prayers if you want, but let's keep doing the Chemo, don't cancel that ... because it's exactly the same as doing just the Chemo."
I'm pretty sure your comment is an admission that you don't really believe prayer works. But at least you are not being dangerously dishonest.

I don't see a connection between paying for sex and child sex abuse.
jojorabbit: you've told us all we need to know about yourself. There is a clear, obvious and documented link. Not only to CSA but to sexual assault and rape in general.
Your apologist mentality if vomit inducing. So fuck off.

It does nothing outside of the mind of the person praying.

How to spot a Cedarite
I thought their tiny withered wanking hand was the tell-tale sign?

Date of Adam's "Creation?

how do jws resolve these conflicting facts.. 1. no matter how you spin it, bible chronology calculates to circa 4000 bc for adam's creation.

i followed the trail many years ago and that's what it adds up to.. 2. the most cursory investigation of any branch of relevant science puts man's habitation on the earth as hugely earlier than that.

it's now so well-proved that anyone disputing it is guilty of wilful ignorance.
Simon

WT has been stepping back from the 7000 year "creative day" doctrine for many years but bible chronology stubbornly remains out on an ever more dodgy limb.
Good point - the WTS are young-earth creationists wether they like it or not. And the longer they keep at it the more whacky and evidence-denier they will appear.
The only way they can get away from it is to claim the OT is just a story, and not real. But then it's the foundation for more belief built on top and the whole, already laughable, story and belief system comes crashing down.
At some point you can reduce the entire thing to "we just like getting to dress up in suits once in a while, having a sing, and go knocking on doors".

Other than that his personal life, he needs to STFU about. Its non of anyone's business
jojorabbit: it is everyone's business for reasons stated many times already. You don't have to agree, but you don't get to keep repeating a debunked a claim or derail a thread with off-topic comments.

i can barely believe it.

it's really a dream come true.. the culmination of years of training and hard work.. i'm going to the olympics and i'm going to win multiple gold medals.. i finally figured that if a man can identify as a woman and win a medal, then i can identify as a disabled woman, so i reckon i can absolutely clean up at the special olympics.. it's so liberating being woke..

14 kids dead and one teacher at Texas school shooting.

another shooting, this time 14 kids dead more wounded and a teacher dead.

i am all for the second amendment and this does not change my mind.

but i do hate this kind of thing, makes my stomach turn.
Simon

The senior officer on the scene decided to wait until the school janitor arrived with the keys because they thought that either "no kids were at risk" by then, or "no-one was living anymore".
So the plan was to just wait till they were all dead? What kind of plan was that!
I think he should be prosecuted. That is negligent manslaughter.
Fire everyone else who stood around. Useless cunts.

But I'm morbidly interested in watching as he flames out in public
It is hilarious how he pours gasoline over himself, lights matches and then complains that it's other people doing it to him.

Did I miss something?
I think they are still not telling us everything.
There were reports he shot at people outside the school, and it was 10-15 minutes before he went in.
Who was he shooting at and why? We need more answers but it seems like they are not being totally honest until they can't deny things any longer.
The 911 calls by kids are damning.
