  Hi spider guy.
  I know a witness in Barcelona , he just moved there last year from where I live .
  Are you sure you can handle coming here or are you going to use your spider sense to ward off apostate reasoning?

  Is there such a thing as sin?

  is there such a thing as sin?.

  my dictionary defines sin as:1the breaking of a religious or moral law;an act that does this2a serious fault or offence.. but to have moral laws or religious codes you need to have a law maker, someone to define a sin.. if like me you doubt the existance of a creator , who decides what is moraly right or correct?.

  the majority vote?.

  Can sins or the breaking of the adopted moral laws of society really be defined as wrongs?Sometimes our actions harm people , obviously this is not nice and most would want to avoid this , but is it possible to act in such a way that no upset is caused to anyone?
  For example while we may not go out and punch someone in the face , we may use things that pollute our earth and in the long term cause real harm to other people, can we really lead lives in such a way that no harm is caused to anyone?
  Some things are obviously more directly harmful than others.But in the animal world such things as the eating of offspring is sometimes seen as normal.
  What is it about humans that makes our actions to each other have more meaning ?

  Maybe in order to further the interests of man we need to make laws and moral codes in order to ensure our survival.
  Maybe moral codes are an evolutionary advantage which bring long term survival and success to peoples and societies who possess them.

  Are teenagers old enought to get baptised?

  by sleepy in

  i, like many on this board got baptised when still a teenager (17).. at the time i thought i knew what i was doing and could take full responsibility for my actions.. 10 years later i realise i knew very little back then compared to what i know now.. was i old enought to make my mind up?.

  or could we always at any age ,be looking back at things we did wrong thinking if only i knew what i know now?.

  actually how much responsibility can we hold over what we did as teenagers .weren't we pushed by the congregation and parents, we had little knowledge of anything else being force fed the "truth" since babies.. at such a young age aren't we much more vulnerable to brainwashing ?.

  Why werent they able to see it was wrong?
  Maybe they were going through a time of questioning their lives.

  But would my life really have been better if I hadn't been brought up a witness?Maybe just different.
  Prehaps I was stupid in joining them at 17.
  Or maybe I had little control over what I did at that age .

  Of course you're mad to by spirits in a British pub, you need a microscope just to find it.

  why don't they practise what they preach?.

  we were always being told to do our return visits quickly, even on the same day.. so how come when you send a letter to bethal it takes weeks to get a reply?.

  last time it took two letters and more than six weeks to get a reply.. i've only waited two weeks for my current letter, so i must have at least another four to go.
