  I'm 28, I have two beautiful young kids. An 18 month old and a 3 month old. I'm married to a really great guy, And I'm very confused

  And you want to blow all that away on a fantasy ?

  Maybe you should never have got married in the first place

  And most certainly not have had two children to your husband .

  How do you think he would feel if he was able to read your post.?

  Maybe he would be far better off without you .

  And if you dumped him for your fantasy boyfriend ?

  And what ripples all that would send about your immediate family ,your parents his parents your children and all those close to both you and your husband.?

  Think of the consequences and their are always consequences

  School inspection is just like a CO visit.

  so our school has just had the school inspectors in, looking and observing lessons.

  the similarities with a co visit is uncanny.. how well behaved teachers, members of staff and pupils are..

  Vanderhoven73 hours ago3 hours ago

  I know personally 3 people who were healed miraculously. On(e) of them was my son; two were colleagues

  .While i don`t doubt your sincerity Vanderhoven7 , as a sceptic I would be more inclined to think you believe what you want to believe.That which comforts you and not what is more realistic.

  I have never yet seen or read of a supposed miraculous event that has not been explained away by rational logic.

  Also the fact that one or two or even three or four miracles supposedly occur from GOD around the world begs the question if he/she can really do that ,why not do it for everybody and stop pain and suffering ? Especially if he/she was truly a GOD of love ?

  The experience you had with your son would be a truly emotional event and I can understand and appreciate your feelings there.

  So lets not go down that path

  however

  Would you care to share the experiences of your colleagues for us to make an assesment ?without divulging personal details of course.

  Biggest impact on humans

  by menrov in

  do not know where to post this but i like to hear your views on what you think had the biggest impact on humans.

  for me, 2 things:.

  music: every human listens one way or another to music and will likely have some sort of emotion.

  I`ve been re-thinking this question

  Biggest impact on humans

  and have come to the conclusion that belief in a GOD has been the biggest impact on humans and not just Jesus or Mohammad or Buddha or Vishnu or any other prophet in the world ,but it is simply a belief in a GOD.

  Sure Christians of all persuasions have been responsible for the deaths of millions in the name of GOD or Jesus but so have all the other religions throughout history killed and slaughtered in the name of this or that particular GOD that they worship.

  In my previous post I singled out followers of Jesus Christ of slaughtering millions of people in his name and really all they were doing was following in the footsteps of Jesus father Jehovah who himself was responsible for the death of millions of people up until the time of Jesus Christ

  Like Father like Son ?

  However ALL GOD`s have been responsible for billions of death in the name of religion whether "true" or "false"

  it doesn`t matter billions of people died and that is the Biggest impact "GOD" has had on humans.

  Signing Away Your Hard Earned Cash

  2. beliefs

  reading the meeting workbook study for this week to see what my family will be reading at their meeting, once again they are asking for members for generous gifts not only from money they earn but also part of any investments they may have and making future arrangements for them to inherit after death through their wills.

  take a look at the lower part of the page on this link, its awful!

  the WT has a hotline you can call if you have any questions on how to donate!!

  Last time i checked the WT doesn't have a hotline to call about questions regarding the society or to answer bible questions.

  I thought that was worth repeating dbq407

  The God of the Bible ,the Koran,the book of Mormon and any other religious writing put out by man or woman ? A BIG NO

  So in that sense I`m an Atheist now from previously a true believer in the past.

  Are their higher intelligent beings out their in the universe who may have been responsible for life on earth ?

  I dont know , what I do know is that their is no higher power that we need to worship to gain his/her approval.

  October the 1st 1991 WT that picture condemns God Jehovah like no other .

  Then their was the one about "Youths Who Put God First In Their Lives" children that died needlessly

  What a sick organization posing as a religion.
