they say ignorance is bliss... well, i wish that god did not give adam free will.
i am ok to not have free will if it means i will live forever in perfect paradisiac conditions.it has been explained that free will is a gift from god.
they say 'who would want to live life like a robot?
HB. If you could stop them from ever dying even though some of their freedom would be restricted, would you do it?
That is exactly what parents Human & animal do. The will to live means that you know your boundaries.Free will does not mean you can sidestep the heisenberg uncertainty principle.
the day i left it was pouring rain........i really screwed up, i found out the night before, as i was packing things up, that i had way under estimated how much stuff i had.
i had two large suit cases (that i could barely shut the lids on) and a large army duffel bag.
i would guess about 200 pounds of shit......my van was in rhode island with the engine out of it.
sorry but i really feel like i need to rant right now.
recently my dad was made an elder so my family has been doing a lot more "theocratic" activities lately.
every morning i wake up and put on my itchy dress and stupid makeup and heels and then pretend that i love what i'm doing and that everybody is my friend when in reality i feel horrible and all the other teenage girls at my hall hate me for some reason.
maybe it is just me but when i read this paragraph all i could do is shake my head and wonder how i used to buy into this crap and how people don't wonder what the hell the writers are thinking'.
"imagine what life would be like if god did not have love for mankind.
we merely have to look at the awful history of this world with its human rulerships under its unloving and wrathful god, satan the devil.
Divergent: but wait - doesn't this invalidate the ransom sacrifice as Jesus did not die without being resurrected like Adam???
but wait, did not Adam die, and paid for all sins, after all if in adam's sin all died, why not in Adams death redemption too? At least Adam proved he was still relatively perfect, lived to ~950 not just 30something.
A loving god providing all these puzzles in "his word." beats crosswords.
january 17, 1994 - my mom in van nuys was thrown out of bed by an earthquake and landed on the floor.
since that time she has slept in a twin bed by the front door.
for the first few years she slept in a recliner!

this is what europe is becoming?
my work colleague in germany sent my this article in an email and it is perhaps one of the most disturbing things i have heard yet.
i have been hearing about many of these recent homophobic and transphobic hate crimes taking place across europe but this one slipped through the cracks.
the english version seems fairly balanced.
to me it almost has an apostate feel, citing coc or describing doctrine changes and interesting details about wt history.
but the german version?
The two paragraphs give totally different meanings. The german text is actually unique in admitting that the input by outsiders, letter writers, gave the impetus, the push to prompt the governing body to make [minor] changes to doctrines. Not that the 7 needed reminding, for example, that the generation of 1914, had failed. If you ever wrote a letter to Brooklyn you ill find out how far you get.
The german text mentions nothing about verboten and bestrafung, expelling, shunning. How un-german.!! the softening of Europe?
