... and evolution, by the way.
if we were designed by an intelligent creator, why the heck do we light-skinned people get burnt to death when the sun is shining?
not very intelligent design... .
Missjones5. With all due respect, the reason that your family doesn't disapprove of mixed race relationships is that it is the product of one.
If his family were not the product of miced races his family would disapprove? Or may the reason do not disapprove is that they are not racists.
as an american, i see words such as cheerio, blimey, bloody (when referring to something negative), loo, bugger, fag (cigarette), etc.
as chiefly british (i suppose they are).. what words and/or phrases do you consider to be chiefly american?
i'm honestly unaware of which words i use that may not be used in other english-speaking countries.
Here in Boston we say
Piss-off or fuck-off
Screw it, fuck it or to hell with it
Good enough for government work or can’t see it from my house
“We had a pissa time at the party” would be we had a good time or bad time depending on how it was said
This is a fine mess or that’s a fine how do you do
No problem
No shit? or no shit!
Oh ya!
that was a wicked good game
have you ever noticed someone who has a 1000 yard (meters for you english types.
well i keep noticing that dub women in particular have this creepy 1000 yard stare.
and then a while after my wife got dunked she and the kids got in one of those picture booths.
If what you are talking about is that dull vacant look. yes I've seen it. I have also seen that look of a shark from elders wives as they watch people chat after the meetings.
dub: <insert your own generic, typical, obnoxious jw comment that hints to, or directly states that the only reason you aren't a dub is because you are some kind of a-hole>.
non-dub: "that is interesting, but maybe i could tell you what i think about that.
see for me, i try very hard not to presume that a person has a dishonest or bad motive behind their choices as a believer of jehovah, because i wouldn't like anybody to treat me that way.
Check,
Nice one I'm going to file that away for later use. ty
One thing I used that seemed to have an effect was “I try not to reads that much into the bible.”
For the date thing I like to use use, “so a pyramid to a man god king of Egypt is the temple of your lord?”
i fully admit to only having dabbled in the waters of philosophy up to now.
i kept on being put off by the smell... .
having said that, is there anyone more clued up than me about the subject who can tell me anything that might make me change my mind?.

I see the validly of your statement, but to me the main argument is in the definitions not in what fallows. If we are in complete agreement as to what something is, like right, wrong or love for example then what follows is a matter of classification not philosophy.

Abaddon,
I’ve read many of your posts and your logic is rock solid
I think Philosophy is a word game we play. To see how long can we talk and seem to make sense without ever truly defining our terms.
In an odious over simplification I offer this question: “what came first the chicken of the egg?”
The answer is the egg. Dinosaurs laded eggs.
So now the question is changed without acknowledging the truth of the answer. “What came first the chicken or the chicken egg?”
The question is really what is a chicken and what is a chicken egg, but if you ask that question the answer becomes that they are only what we agree they are. Without agreement there are no chickens or chicken eggs.
I believe the world to be an absurd place but I play philosophy from time to time.
My personal goal is to live an observed life with as little self-delusions as possible.
we all are identified by our names here on jwd.
some use their real names, and others pick a moniker that is their nickname or perhaps a few words from a song they like.. why did you pick your name?.
for instance,.
Q) will he think?
A) yes i will!!
does anyone really trust their girlfriend/boyfriend around members of the appropriate sex?.
i thought we had some form of trust, but i dropped my biotch off at the car dealership today and noticed a rather long conversation going on with a "questionable" neighbor (one that we've talked about before in a sexual way).
so, how do you go about building trust in a relationship?
sunnyboy,
If I may add my two cents, try telling your girl her flirtation with other men is causing you pain and and insecurity. If her behavior doesn’t change she doesn’t care about you. dump her ass.
next week, due to his recently learned so called knowledge of psychiatry and medication??
and bashing of those that use it?.

Every person is entitled to his, her opinion. I don’t hold tom’s beliefs against him nor do I think anyone should presser anyone else to shut up by any means. The freedom to speak ones mind is critical in a free society.
Since I've never seen a good tom cruise move before I don’t have any interest in this one.
once you start questioning the beliefs of the organization, all kinds of things cross your mind.
for instance, the bible clearly describes angels as having wings - and the wbts illustrates them with wings in their publications - so what's up with the whole "not displaying images of angels" in witness homes, etc.
through the years i bought the position that angels are not children, so the images of babies with wings and halos are inconsistent with bible truth - but what's wrong with images of adult angels with wings and why are witnesses encouraged not to display them?.
It is metaphorical, an angles wings represents the heavenly nature of angles. the child represents innocence, or if you like the absence of original sin.
