Are you religious or are you spiritual? Wake up to what?

by Deltawave in

there is a huge difference between been religious and been spiritual.

been religious is about been superior to others in the sight of god.

however, been spiritual is about self awareness, inner peace and unity with the natural world.

I think it's best, in the interest of peace that we all (exception made to Viviane) stop making general statements that common sense (except Viviane's common sense, if it can be proven to exist in lab controlled conditions, I'm just working on an assumption here, as I cannot know if her common sense is equal to everyone else's) would understand it as not applying to 100% of mankind without qualifying first that we're not speaking in her name. If we all (exception made to Viviane) make such effort, life will be easier for everyone (with the exception of Viviane). That way any forum member (with the exception of Viviane) will not commit the severe error to speak in Viviane's name or assume what she does or thinks, something she clearly disapproves. Let us (with the exception of Viviane) give it our best shot at it.

I had sex with my wife but now he’s my brother.

by John Aquila in

golden age 1930 apr 2 p.446.

question: will husband and wife live together after the resurrection is completed, if both are in harmony with god?.

the most that we know is that here will be no children born during the last 100 years of the millinnium (isa.

Golden Rule: Pure Garbage?

by willmarite in

on another thread a poster made the comment that the golden rule was garbage.

she said it was arrogant and made assumptions.. i didn't want to derail that thread so i started another wondering if this is a common thought about this belief on this forum.

i guess i naively thought the value of doing to others as you want them to do to you was generally accepted as positive.. i understand people have different opinions of jesus as a person but i don't want to get into that here.

Viviane: I could count on you to say something both useless but, and this is key, also letting everyone know just how singed your feelings are

Seriously, Viviane ... lighten up :)

I'd like my coffee strong with a drop of milk and a sugar cube. Thank you, Viviane.

Another Music Artist that was raised a JW....

by whathehadas in

i didn't know that this r&b artist from the mid 90's, case, was raised a jw.

one of the host (charlamagne tha god) on this radio show was raised one also.

go to the 18:50 mark where it's brought up.

I was reading the article on Wiki about U2's lead guitar The Edge, and at some point it says that in the early days of the band, he nearly quitted the band for religious reasons. That statement is taken from a source which I cannot open to check the reference, but it made me wonder if he too had been raised in the JW's.

JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES OLD SUPREME COURT CASE (THEY LOST) COMES UP IN THE NEWS concerning TERROR and HATE SPEECH!

by Terry in

i know about it and i'll explain the reason why.it has to do with terrorism and hate speech!________________________.

in researching my book about jehovah's witnesses, (i wept by the rivers of babylon) i studied many supreme court cases jehovah''s witnesses were fighting during the 1940's.. one such case is: 1942 supreme court ruling chaplinsky v. new hampshire.. if you had to use just two words to describe this case those two words would be: fighting words.. __________________________.

a jw street preacher incited his fellow citizens to riot against him by insulting everything they held dear: their god, their religion, their government, and their flag.. (that doesn't surprise you, does it?:).

MUST READ AlanF's email to Knocking.org

by sf in

this is a must-read that, hopefully, will stay an "active topic" for all seekers and lurkers, by bumping it to the top as often as possible.

alan wrote it in randys {dogpatch} thread regarding knocking.org documentary and in reply to the email mr. engardio sent to barbara anderson.

however, it is so vital a read that it indeed needs its own thread:.
