it's utterly amazing to me how religious belief in an omnipotent deity shapes some people's thinking.. one woman whose family missed the air asia flight which crashed stated that it was god's will to give her father hepatitis so that she canceled her family's vacation trip on that flight.
she says she believes god saved her family and protected them.
however, she later mourns the fact that she lost friends on the flight...so does she believe god deliberately planned for them to die?
Gods will is that none should perish... all people at one point or another will die
So god's will is that no one should die, but we WILL all die. Got it (oy vey).
.... when you do die, your spirit will continue
And you know this how? (real evidence please, not scripture).
for those interested, winston from youtube who goes by the username of watchtower examination has recently completed a video discussing the march 15 2015 watchtower.. it is a long video but he has so many interesting and unique comments.
he is a real gifted man with and the most amazing thing is that he has never been a jw but is deeply concerned about their teachings.
he hopes to wake up his jw brother and other jws.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=red3cnxhyga.
We all know how dizzying WT doctrinal changes are. This video highlights the absurdity even more (as if that is even possible).
Thanks for posting this.

I've been using it for a year and a half, now; I'm a little surprised you didn't notice
First time I've seen it... probably because I take a "hands-off" approach to masterbation topics. LOL.

In response to Rutherfraud's failed "Millions" campaign predictions for 1925, New Zealanders greeted JFR with this sign in his 1938 visit to that country, which is damn hilarious:
"Millions now living would rather die
than listen to Judge Rutherford."

What a great god. And yet, people will believe in and worship such a person. Amazing.
St. Teresa of Avila once told god, "If this is the way you treat your friends, no wonder you have so few."
"The dice of God are always loaded." -- Ralph Waldo Emerson
"God is indeed dead.
He died of self-horror
when He saw the creature He had made
in His own image." -- Irving Layton
for years, as i've read through the bible, i've wondered why bible writers were concerned about physical beauty (see references below)?
i realize it's human nature to be interested in beauty, but why did they see fit to record in the so-called "word of god" the fact that some of the people they wrote about were beautiful?
looks are not supposed to matter according to jw doctrine (and probably the doctrine of many christian-professing sects).
@ Outlaw.... yep. Fred and Olive are one hot couple... the beautiful people. LOL.
Glad you're back, Outlaw. I like your new avatar.

Same with my account, Oubliette: 95 posts and one topic for me.
Perhaps my thousands of other posts exist here only "invisibly" with the second coming of JWN ? LOL.

Simon....
I'm not getting the quote button to work no matter what I try (highlighting the material then clicking "; click the quote button first; re-clicking it, etc.)
You mentioned in an earlier post that the quote button is supposed to toggle on and off... mine doesn't do that.
Suggestions?
