  The distinction between cult and religion.....

  by NoRegrets in

  another great article from the ted talks.

  opening quote really tells it all: "the distinction between cult and religion lies squarely in how those leaving or those wanting to leave are treated.

  "What distinguishes religion from cults is the ability to question without being shunned and ability to reject dogmatic tenets without being shunned."

  Mmmmm. Sounds like the WT$.

  Attention Lurkers- Consider the effectiveness of your lifesaving work

  hypothetical scenario.

  you are a city manager in a major metropolitan city with a population of 3,000,000.. .

  if the governing body was truly convinced themselves of the impending disaster and the fact that the end is imminent would they not focus their efforts in spreading the message through effective means such as telephone, television, internet, social networks etc?

  i am not a jw.

  i am basically here for two reasons:.

  I am sure God is real concerned with how you deal with your wisdom teeth.

  Kids starving by the millions, disease killing countless of innocent people every day, people suffering horrific and violent deaths at the hands of evil men. All of this........... yet it's the teeth in your mouth that has Gods attention.

  Probably because they are Christians and this site can be a difficult place for Christians at times, especially the fundamental type.

  Some believers have thick skin and will debate for page after page thread after thread. Others don't want their faith weakened or critiqued and when the heat gets a bit too much they leave the kitchen....?... Maybe?.... I don't really know, I'm just flapping my gums.

  it's 1am and i'm halfway through a glass of brandy.

  i've been cleaning out the closet (literally), and reminiscing about old times and decisions i didn't make.

  it's times like these i regret being brought up as a witness the most.

  Try not spending to much time dwelling on past regrets, what ifs and could have been thoughts. They can drive a person crazy. I have almost lost the plot completely by letting these things consume me.

  Concentrate on now and appreciate what we have. Cheers, I will have a beer. Its only 4:30 in the arvo here and I am just home from work.
