  Saw both movies now and I would have to say one word for both ... Boring

  Some books/stories just don't make for good engaging movies.

  yes, that is how they want people to esteem the magazine.

  The Gospel the JWS profess is not strongly supported in the bible, as a matter of fact its tainted with apostasy really.

  True Christians hold to all of Jesus's words not just some and disregard the rest.

  Nevertheless they still hold their heads up over all other Christian faiths calling others unrighteous when they claim they are the true righteous ones, a contravening oxymoron of theology when you think about it.
  

  I guess every religion has its own self supporting propaganda.

  Isn't Canada Great, even close to a Spiritual Paradise?

  a moment ago i clicked onto the link at https://bigglobaltravel.com/cities/funny-pictures-canada-yh/?utm_campaign=canada%20pictures%20shira1606%20dup0109%20msn%20edg%20en%20-%20desktop%20usa%20ya&utm_source=yahoo&utm_medium=msn_us&utm_content=msn.com&psl=g_61cd4e&network_code=cm which shows slides of canada.

  viewing those slides (in combination with the other things i have seen and heard about canada) made me feel that maybe canada is about as close as one can get in the western world to a nation which is now a spiritual paradise, much like a new peaceful order now.

  imagine that the usa would never have had a civil war.

  Canada is great place to live, born here and live here 60 + years.
  

  The top main cities are not so great to live in now based now upon the cost of housing which has risen dramatically due to rich oversea immigrants moving over.

  This has made for a lower style of living for many and a growing number of homelessness.
  

  Not too sure about the recent federal politics either but I was never effected by the pandemic problem financially..

  Would it be correct to equate Faith and belief in any God with superstitious belief ? I believe so.

  by smiddy3 in

  2. beliefs

  their are millions of peoples all around the world who believe in one god or another christian and non christian.. all of them pray to their gods for this, that, and the other.

  by far the majority never hear god answer them audibly ,however most assume he answers their prayers or not , by what transcribes next in their lives.. you pray for what is right according to god and he answers your prayers ,otherwise your prayers are not answered .. those few who who do claim to hear the voice of god audibly are usually found to have mental problems ,either physical or emotional.. if you do good you will be rewarded either now or in the hereafter , if you do bad you will feel the wrath of god and his judgments.

  i equate this with superstitious beliefs ,what do you think ?.

  Your correct for most part Mick but one has to accept that human ignorance as being a core element to why the ancients believed in powerful supernatural beings.

  Essentially that gave them answers to what they saw and experienced.
  

  This facilitated fear and superstitions to promote social behaviors within a given social environment..

  You can see that in every organized religion to varying degrees.

  Belief in gods were a necessary element to socially control people in ancient times

  Non belief in gods in those times was quite minute in comparison to today's human population..

  Fear and respect to those connected directly to these gods was established, such as the high priests of the ancient Hebrews/Israelites.
  

  So men can create their own imposing empowerment by proclaiming they are connected to powerful supernatural gods, you can see this occurring in the JWS religion.

  A good question one might ask a JWS is ....

  Why be a part of this organization when you can be a true Christian devoted and loyal to Jesus Christ his words and guidance than be subservient to sinful men who are scriptural false prophet apostates. ?

  this stupid little autistic twit is a no talent hack.

  I wouldn't argue about her terrible dancing and singing but hey she's a teenager trying to have fun, big deal.

  You right wing retards don't have any human compassion it seems .

  Degrading someone who have physical/mental disabilities. is a bit low.

  Did you loose your human compassion when you were a JWS ?
