"I'm so over just doing what most scientist do"... what? You're actually fed up of scientists trying to find the answer to life's biggest questions? Really?
So you get lazy and fall into the "god of the gaps" trap.
Intellectually dishonest and lazy.
now we all have heard how the universe is composed of matter and space.
and we always here of how it had a beginning.
but really what could have begun it?

i have settled in with a nice bottle of tullamore dew.
i have previously never tried any irish whiskeys other than jameson's.
i was wondering if there are any other irish whiskeys i should try.
Bushmills is lovely. Cant go wrong.
every single bible student/jehovah's witness who has ever lived, has been indoctrinated to believe that a catastrophic great tribulation would very soon engulf the entire earth, causing untold death & destruction.
this spurious teaching is drummed into every j.w.
's head and used by them as a major recruitment tool.
Ahhhh.. normal service is resumed. Searchers back! Good post, hadnt thought of it like that. How was the break?
Yeah, but he didnt thank Jehoober! That means he wont win nearly as many as Serena....
this was a very painful article to read, and i can only imagine that after this years convention - people will be even more emboldened to cut off friends and family.. http://www.patheos.com/blogs/friendlyatheist/2016/07/03/many-ex-jehovahs-witnesses-have-received-texts-from-loved-ones-ending-their-relationships-forever/?utm_source=silverpopmailing&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=atheist%20071316%20(1)&utm_content=&spmailingid=51830798&spuserid=mty4mdi2oty3odkws0&spjobid=961945281&spreportid=otyxotq1mjgxs0.
Thanks for posting this, I was just reading it on my phone!
My mum is going to the CONvention tomorrow in Newcastle. She hasnt phoned or texted anything to me in about a month now, not that she does that a lot anyway....
I was thinking about sending her a heads up text about the program, but chicken out when I come to type!
I feel i should say something to her, but dont know what. What can you say to a deluded victim?
on a road trip with my jw dad and stopped at the rest stop.
this jw lady walked up to me with a craptower.
big mistake.
Actually, I quite like that idea of introducing yourself as a `watchtower historian`. They wont know what to do, run or be intrigued!
Its got to be better than saying ex - jw, or mentally diseased apostate...
after some considerable thought i have decided that i will no longer post on this forum because i want to return to jehovah.
thank you for all the kindness and many interesting discussions over the years.
i wish you all well in the future and the decisions you make.
Attention seeker....
.......again.
two years ago i had a kundalini experience.
i felt energy or chi pulsate through each of my chakras, from the base of the spine to the crown of the head, then back, after that i felt like a newborn for three days.
i felt like i was reborn spiritually and god gave me a new name - indi.

.....you went and gave an electrical wall socket a wet willy, didn't you?
a couple weeks back my husband got a phone call from his brother, whom he hasn’t spoken to in nearly 17 years.
well i take that back, he did speak to him at the family reunion, asking him to leave.
my husband basically told him to f off, he would leave when he’s darn good and ready, but he didn’t use the word darn.
Gather a list of all the child abuse cases involving jw's, make up loads of leaflets, ( "leaflets", thats a dub word is'nt it?) and then pay a student to put them under the windscreen wipers of all the cars in the carpark while the funerals on. Cant be traced back to you....
jesus taught that we must die unto ourselves, and allow the holy spirit to take up residence within us.
some people get saved by simply inviting jesus into their hearts, to be the lord of their life.
this serves as a countering force within the born-again christian to counterbalance the will of the flesh, which is still unsaved in this life and destined for destruction in imitation of our lord himself.. attempting to live the christian life without having this spirit within you is a waste of time at the minimum, and dangerous on the downside.
Perry is studying again.......
