I agree with the points you made in the video. Even when I was forcefed believe in beings like that at a young age, I really thought they never bothered me because deep down, I really didn't think they existed.

The other night I was awoken by a bug or spider on my ear, which I brushed off half asleep. I never did discover what it was, but then I could not get back to sleep because I kept feeling imaginary bugs crawling on me. I think it's all the same thing, you mind is capable of creating realistic encounters that never happened.

BTW, what doesthe shirt you are wearing in the video say?

Impromptu Survey - 2 Types of Reasons to Leave

i was thinking, not counting those who are df'd for "conduct," it seems to me that there are two type of exjws that leave.

by this i mean the ones that woke up and came to their senses while still inside.

1. those who found doctrinal errors and couldn't stay with the lies.. 2. those who found that there was no love and left because of the betrayal of emotions, and realization that by this fruit you knew they were not the ones, their lack of love.

Question for believers: How does God set priorities?

by sir82 in

while waiting for the bus yesterday, i overheard (wasn't trying - but due to his volume, impossible to avoid) a guy on his cell phone talking to someone about his likely imminent dismissal from his employment.. but he then went on to say that he had full confidence that god would take care of him, and he wasn't worried at all about finding new employment.. then i got home, watched the news, and found out that 4 million kenyans are in danger of starving to death because of a year-long drought there.. so i got to thinking - how exactly does god set priorities?.

the guy at the bus stop is not the first christian i've heard express his confidence that god chooses to intervene and help in the lives of individual believers.

he saves them from car wrecks, he helps them find jobs, he lends some sort of invisible emotional support to help them cope with the death of a child, and so on.. on the other hand, millions of people suffer excruciating pain for months or years before finally dying covered in mud with flies crawling on them - no relief from god in sight.. why does god help one middle-aged guy who's never been hungry in his life find a new job in time so that he doesn't miss his $3000 mortgage payment, but not send a little rain to help a land where millions of people are already living in misery and filth?.

Good question Sir82!

IMO, this thread really highlights that there are those that choose to live in a fantasy world and those that choose to live in reality.

Here's what's really going on: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UaZDcS-rMf4

It is simply your opinion that Furuli's data is incorrect. Astronomy programs are not apostate but the interpretation and application of those programs is sullied by apostates who have an agenda.

If anyone has an agenda, it's the WTS. They know that without 607 they are just another religion.
