  What's Real About the Rapture?

  http://www.huffingtonpost.com/john-r-coats/whats-real-about-the-rapt_b_716688.html.

  this is an interesting article posted by the christian left from thw huffington post.

  i know jehovah's witnesses do not teach the rapture (except maybe for the 144,000) so all of them expect to live through the tribulation (whatever that was to them).

  The rapture has happened already. May 22 2011 I recall. It began with a series of earthquakes and the dead rose up from the grave. And there was mass panic and society collapsed. Planes crashed as their pilots were taken to heaven. And the world as we know ended that fateful day.

  Or maybe nothing happened and it was all the dreams of a demented sicko, Harold Camping.

  SO the only thing real about the rapture is the misery Camping bought to all those gullible people who believed his prophetic diarrhea. Many gave up their jobs and sold their homes so they could devote their final days to preaching and warning that the world was about to end.

  is it just me, but does anyone else just see tim tebow as one of the biggest douche bags in sports?

  i hate self rightous idiots.

  i see him and i see that out of touch with reality elders child dropping out of school to pioneer and making everyone else feel like assholes because they finished school and wanted a job.

  Jeremiah book this week - cult control at it's finest

  by 88JM in

  2. friends

  having to sit through this at the meeting just now.. blatantly saying to obey without question: "will you be as determined to comply with god's guidance as jeremiah was?

  ", "...accepting the guidance given through the faithful slave class is for your lasting good.".

  this is so painful to sit through :(.

  Blondie - >> Jeremiah complied with "God's guidance" but not the guidance of the religious leaders of his day.

  Good ol' Jeremiah. Just one more religious nutter hearing voices in his head. Today he'd be given medication and strict supervision.

  Or look at it this way: the bible is THE most over-rated book ever. It is stupefyingly boring. It's full of the misogynistic ramblings of religious zealots and other assorted nutjobs.

  The fact that so many people are wiiling to squander so much of their precious time arguing back and forth about the arcane minutiae of this completely outdated and irrelevant dribble is beyond me.

  Apostates are narrow-minded victims of brainwashing who believe everything they read

  or so says the person who left this comment on jwsurvey.org.... what just amazes me is how people can pass judgement on others, make vast sweeping statements and make out that they know best.

  this isnt just based on this page, but other pages ive read on this website.

  while youre at it why not just say all black people are criminals, all asians are rapists and all white people molest their children.

  Errr, jhine -I think you got the wrong end of the stick regarding Cedars' post.

  He is not agreeing with JWs - quite the opposite in fact.

  Maybe re re-read the post?

  And for the love of god - use the bloody return key a few times! Paragraphs are your friend.

  Ever wonder this about the annointed?

  by free2beme in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  so in the congregation you had those wine and bread loving annointed people?

  but i ask, why did the men that were annointed not immediately appointed as an elder, and then a circuit overseer and so on up the ranks.

  it would seem to me, that if god saw them fit to rule in heaven.

  Probably because they were all completely insane. Most of the anointed I knew couldn't even dress themselves. Only the truly strange slurped and munched come memorial time.

  just wondering, do christians feel animals can be demonized?

  i wonder, as i have some questions about demonized.

  does the demon become the person, and send the person packing to some sort of waiting room?

  Ah! Bacteria again - Fakesmile. I tells y'all them bacteria are possessed.

  To answer your question Aguest this is a very serious thread.

  I was very pleased to learn that demons could be downloaded over the 4G network. I will now be casting my iPhone over the nearest cliff. Or giving it to a pig.
