The Noah Movie

by Quarterback in

well, i saw it.

you better get ready for everyone's talk about it.. it was 25 % biblical, 75 % fantasy.. noah was mean as a character, his family was great.

methusala, was an old fart..

Aronofsky obviously has hard time after his divorce with Rachel Weisz.
Sometimes he makes decent movies like Requiem for a Dream, The Wrestler and Black Swan, but sometimes.. such crap as Noah

OUTLAW, sorry, but on your photos is Bulgaria, Dobrich.
It was convention and I was there at that time.
Local folks are very aggressive against JW.. the same is throughout all Bulgaria

Suggestions for car buying

by FlyingHighNow in

friends

if you were a lady and you were 55 and had $5,000 or less to spend on a used car, what would buy?

top concerns: good mpg; reliable; in not having major issues like ball joints breaking, timing belts breaking, etc.

not too expensive to maintain.

goodsoul

take a look on Subaru impreza(wagon or hatchback)- pretty reliable car and should fit to your requirements.

Jesus sacrifice and animal sacrifice contradiction

by trackregister99 in

romans 3:25 says that jesus sacrifice was applied to the past for sins forgives.. then why god request animals sacrifice like "shadow of the good things to come" (hebrews 10:1) if the jesus sacrifice forgive sins to the past.. the animal blood not have none value, because jesus sacrifice was applied to the past.. why sacrificies for forgive of sins was requested by god if romans 3:25 says that jesus forgive the sins to the past?..

.

everything is very simple- Jahwe wants blood! He doesn't care, whose blood- animals or humans. but finally, He concluded, that he wants blood of his son. so satan killed Jesus, and Jahwe is happy last 2000 years..He is looking forward to Armaggedon- that will be the show! billions dead bodies, tons of blood!..

How long since you have prayed?

by LostGeneration in

jw
friends

its been probably five years for me.

i don't miss it a bit.

i was a slacker when it came to prayer.

goodsoul

I never was able to get necessity of prayer in context of Jesus words "So, do not make yourselves like them, for God YOUR Father knows what things YOU are needing before ever YOU ask him."
Ok, then, if he knows what we need better then us, what the reason for prayer? If he is able to see humans hearts, what for to spend your time to explain him something? In that perspective it's a wasting of time.
We stopped pray at bedtime few years before we left WTS..Almost the same with meals prayers. After quit reading and believe in Bible- quit to pray at all.
What changed? nothing.. IF GOD really exist- I believe, he knows better, what we need..But if he exists and knows better, what we need AND in the same time NEEDS us to ask him about such things otherwise we will not get them,- I dont need such god.

I am a loser

by zed is dead in

jw
friends

i just thought of something.

i have spent most of my life feeling like i am a loser.

i have been compensating for those messages most of my adult life.

goodsoul

zed, being loser means that you have what to lose- which is good!
if someone are not losing anything, means he possess nothing..
Last thing I lost was my flight last week, which costs me 2000$
I am looser as well ))

Pagan symbols on convention stage?

by rebel8 in

jw
friends

symbolism of columns.

maybe i'm reading into it a bit, but i just found this odd.

of all the things to decorate your holy stage with, and you pick something iconic of temples of an ancient religion and world power that you claim was evil.

The Stanley was designed by architect Fred Welsey Wentworth.

A Universalist and a Republican, Wentworth was a member of a number of societies: Scottish Rite Freemasonry and the Shriners..

Something odd just happened when I logged on!

by tornapart in

i typed in my name, password and the captcha, expecting to see my name come up in the top right corner and what i actually saw was someone else's name!

(the name was another member of this board).

i looked at it for a few seconds feeling a bit puzzled and not sure what to do about it and as i looked it automatically changed (whithout me doing anything) back to my own name.. has anyone else had this happen to them?
