by konceptual99 inhttp://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-23947820.
it is suggesting that the accepted dates for the egyptian timelines need to change.

What does your congregation do to help someone suffering from drug addiction? Do they open the doors to help these ones by hosting NA meetings? How does your basic form of christianity help people who are struggeling with addiction?
Oh that's right, you kick em while their down, kick them out and cut them off from support that may be crucial to recovery. Yeah, christianity alive and well!

Unstop: you see a painting you know it was painted by a painter. if you see creation you know it was created by a creator.
Sandro Botticelli, Claude Monet, Rembrandt, Edvard Munch, Pablo Picasso, Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, Vincent van Gogh.
What do these painters have in common? They are all DEAD!
Could it be possible that if there was a creator.... billions of years ago.... that it is now dead also? Why do creationists just assume that the creator would continue to live forever when nothing else in the universe does?

Maintaining Faith In God As An Ex-JW
by pronomono inas i fade further from the jws, i'm finding it increasingly hard to maintain faith in god.
i've been exploring many alternatives from atheism, agnostic, apathetic, pagan, and satanism (not devil worship, but the promotion of self-indulgence) to name a few.
i'm thoroughly intrigued to learn how those of you who remained christian managed to maintain your faith in god and christ, especially after enduring all the lies that we've been told about them.

The WT corporation probably creates more athiests then any other religion on earth.

This place is awesome! It is where you can get apostate meat. Some are not ready for the meat, they need to start with the milk first.
Can't please everyone.

Not if you're having fun with it.
This is actually a good strategy when it comes to fading. Passive-aggressive displays of defiance, such as growing a beard, getting a tattoo, talking about Jesus all the time instead of Jehovah, watching R movies.... will get you the label as someone with a Bad Attitued (BA).... but not enough to DF.
Then once you stop attending meetings the elders are actually glad to see you go. It worked for me.

Gerrit Losch was actually once an apostate.
by Julia Orwell ina jw friend of mine (who was one of my besties until i told him i didn't believe jw religion anymore) used to live in austria and for a while in the 70's was in the same congregation as losch.
they used to spend some time together in the ministry.
my jw friend tells me that he and losch used to often talk about how they believed the wt was wrong about certain interpretations of the bible, for example, how at the time the wt taught that the mustard tree used by jesus in an illustration represented an evil kingdom, and losch and friend didn't think that was right.

Losch decided to wait on Jehovah about the things he didn't agree with. Once he became GB member, Jehovah decided to make the light brighter and change the things Losch didn't agree with. Funny how that worked out.
Sounds more like Jehovah was waiting on Gerrit Losch!

Have you ever had a hallucination? What was it like?
by Nathan Natas ini have almost never had a visual hallucination and i was wondering what they're like.
how "real" do they seem?
is there any kind of a hint you get that tells you they are not real?

A couple times in the 70s when I took LSD. First experience was during a party, visual light trails from a lit sig, everything in the room color enhanced just by thinking of any color, music experience was enhanced.
The second tme was more of a spiritual experience, feelling that I was connected to everything else in the universe, realization of just how small I was in the universe, ego was gone and I became fully aware of the pain I caused others in the past by my actions.
One other time I had the feeling that someone was pushing me from behind, but no one was there, I was walking into my house alone when it happened. That was a bit scary compared to other experiences and I wanted to think it was all in my mind but at the time also felt like it could have been a demon pushing me. I never did anymore again after that and I never experienced any flash backs.
My father had many hallucinations when he was on strong pain meds and would just lay awake in his bed with nothing to stimulate his mind. Once we talked him into keeping the TV turned on or doing things to keep his mind active instead of idle while awake they seemed to go away. He would see things like the numbers and hands of the clock falling off onto the floor and chrickets jumping up and down on his bed about 3ft into the air.
Had one audible hallucination shortly after my mother died, I heard her voice just as clear as if she was standing right next to me. I was in bed at the time just falling asleep. No drugs were taken.

Reminds me of when I got counceled for owning a 1980 Oldsmobile Cutlas Ciera that had an internation flag emblem on the fender because some were stumbled. I had to sell the car to appease those idiots.
