why do people give creedance to "fiction" like the da vinschi code".
even funnier is why people acutualy discuss the "meaning" behind the bible.
i wish people would wake up and see its all just fiction, thousands of year of fiction.
Vomit - you are right. Life is an illusion. It is life’s purpose to enjoy itself through the illusion that is us. It is like seeing through all the tricks a magician entertains with.
The fun is lost. Strip away all illusion and you are left with reality - but reality ultimately needs to take a day off. This world could be realities day off - or it could just be reality enjoying itself. Why assume that reality wants to be serious of have a purpose?
downstairs yesterday we had the circuit overseer.
i hate how they are supposed to be humble men, yet they have everyone worried.
its more like the boss checking on your work.

This guy is all 'smooth'. Before him we had a Scottish bloke called John Black.
Are you suggesting that Scottish blokes are not smooth? I am surprised Little Toe let you get away with that - it must be his Christian discipline in action!
the wts is doing it again, another special campaign.. the september awake will be a special edition titled, is there a creator.
the entire magazine will focus on jehovah the creator, jehovah's witnesses are they creationists, was the earth created in 7 literal days, a special ypa article dealing with creation.
the congregations are instructed to order additional copies (in addition to their regular supply) of this awake to place in the territories.. why all the special campaigns?
Aren’t we being a bit harsh with the Watchtower Society and this special offering of spiritual food?
I have researched this magazine and it’s contents and found that it has more whole grains of truth than other Awakes! Also added spiritual vitamins. It is claimed, it will help with all problems caused by spiritual under nourishment - a condition particularly widespread among Jehovah’s Witnesses.
i know this might sound abit "paranoid" but as i mentioned on other posts before i am a "heavy" person who is losing weight.
so far i have lost 65 pounds and i am still losing through a "strict"diet and exercise.
i was at a restaurant the other day and there were 4 "thin" people sitting at a table across from a "very heavy overweight" man.
He aint heavy - he's my brother..........

if you have seen it, praise it or pan it.. i am interested in wht the non-professionals have to say.. i am planning on seing it saturday night.
Having read the book, I probably had expectations that were too high. I had a meal and a few drinks before hand, which helped me to feel settled.
It was a worthy film, although at times Tom Hanks looked wooden and reminiscent of Data from Star Trek.
He doesn’t seem to be the cheerful guy he used to be. I have seen that look before - how is his marriage?
Sir Ian McEllen was superb. Sophie Neveu blew me away. What more can a man ask for?

when i joined many years ago, the poster that caught my eye was jjrizo.
i saw his name plastered all over the board.
I thought the thread was a waste of space until Kasar was kind enough to name me. Thank you for that unexpected delight. Thank you for changing my life.
I now see the value and importance of this wonderful thread.

Glad you decided to join us. You will be at home here.
i came to think of the fact that i've always been afraight to fail and this made living freely very difficult.
since i stopped going to meetings and especially since i admitted to myself that i'm no longer a 'true believer' i feel i can make mistakes and learn from them.
i feel more 'alive' because of that.
Very true - digglina
We can never grow up until we become responsible for our lives and are allowed to make mistakes. To remain a JW is to remain a child.
I hope you keep posting here.

i need to try and get my wife to examine her beliefs.
i hope to do this by getting her to think on her own.
i've already tryed doctrinal issues with no success.
Truth is inconvenient and eludes most people. This could be why the comments by James Thomas are so often overlooked.
Hang on in there James. One day the rest of the world will catch up with you!
