  There is a theory known as the "Theory of Constraints" and in the theory on of the primary problem solving tools is to imagione your issue as a big black storm cloud and then ask: what will it take to make my cloud go away?

  The most successful mechanism for making the cloud disappear is to challenge your assumptions because in almost all cases you have made some assumptions which are not based on truth or established fact and without the assumption the issue disappears or is easily solved....just like evaporating a cloud.

  Your whole question is based on a challengable assumption namely: The Bible contains the Truth. Until we can establish credibility for the Bible as true why use it to bolster an argument? What will seem to be a ridiculous parallel would be to say: why didn't Cinderella go in search of the prince instead of waiting for the prince to search the whole country with the glass slipper before she was found? This question assumes that the story of Cinderella is true...establishing that the story is a myth or a fairy tale changes your perspective to: "why waste your time even trying to answer the question".

  Hope you have a sunny day.

  The republicans are a bunch of biggoted religious bible-bashing thugs

  The democrats are a bunch of whiny babies with their hands held out who cannot help themselves.

  I think Jerry Springer fits quite nicely in either party.

  Miss You Mom

  i miss you so much i just cant say how much i hurt inside.

  i think back to when i was just a child and how you gave me the food from your plate when there wasnt enough for each of us to have dinner.

  you always put me first, your joy in life came from seeing me happy, knowing i was safe and i had everything you could give me.. i miss doing my homework with you, the way you taught me to draw and how much confidence you always had in me and i still remember how you gave and gave until you had nothing more to give me.

  Thanks for your thoughts.

  To clarify something...

  My Mom has not passed on yet. However she lives in a different country (far away from where I live) and has advancing Alzheimers. She visited me and left 2 days ago to return home. I don't know that I will see HER again (even if I do see her the chances are high that she may not even recognize me ).. In fact it is likely that I just said good bye for the last time...as though she has had a premature death and I am struggling to deal with it so I wrote what I wrote this evening.

  I miss you so much I just can’t say how much I hurt inside. I think back to when I was just a child and how you gave me the food from your plate when there wasn’t enough for each of us to have dinner. You always put me first, your joy in life came from seeing me happy, knowing I was safe and I had everything you could give me.

  I miss doing my homework with you, the way you taught me to draw and how much confidence you always had in me and I still remember how you gave and gave until you had nothing more to give me. I can never repay you I could never give enough in return. You were the kindest person I ever knew. As I sit here and look at your photo with tears streaming down my cheeks - I never knew when the day would come when I would lose you forever.

  Becoming an adult was all I ever wanted to do when I was growing up. I never thought about why I just knew I wanted to grow up, get married and have kids. Once all that happened and I had everything I thought I wanted, I realized that it wasn't as easy to maintain as I had thought. Now you’re gone and my heart is heavy with such sadness and sense of the most incredible void I have ever experienced in my life.

  Even though I know I will never see you again I just keep telling myself I wish I had told you many more times than I did that “I loved you”. I miss you more with every minute that passes. I don't know how it will ever get better. I do know that I promised you that I would take care of myself and continue with everything you taught me.

  TED JARACZ OF GOV BODY ASKED TO COMMENT ABOUT DOUBLE MURDER

  by rainbow2003 in

  murder question for watchtower bible & tract society's ted jaracz

  wisconsin: in the town of ogema:

  two brothers, robert and benjamin moore, were shot to death august 30, 1995, and copies of an online police report show some believed perhaps a jw relative murdered them and early on allusion was made to the watchtower teaching that those who die before armageddon can be resurrected to live forever.

  Who in their right mind thinks Ted will answer either allegation?

  If he says he is innocent no xJW will believe him and if he says he is guilty everyone will want his ass anyway. There is nothing for him to gain by responding...

  LMAO @ LDH

  I cannot stand the Williams sisters - everytime they go on court I support the opposing player. Why would anyone support them? They are effectively a marketing campaign for the WTBS and send the message: "Look we have normal people in our religion and look how successful people can be when they apply our teachings in their lives".

  Besides that they are totally boring to watch and sound like monkey's in heat with all the noise they make on the court. Now their Dad...I love him - he is the only Williams with any balls or character - I salute him for standing up to the world and proving his point.

  Where is the evidence

  by KGB in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  many of you make claim that god does not exist, you say that you found your evidence in the bible, what i want to know is where is the evidence.

  i am not interested in just mere thoughts but actuall evidence

  I thought that maybe there was some substantial evidence that someone knew that would show evidence in Gods non-existance

  .I take it that if you apply YOUR reasoning to other circumstances that you believe unicorns, fairies, pixies and goblins exist - afterall where is your proof that they don't? A ridiculous argument? Yes, but it's yours not mine.

  Saying stuff like "you guys used to believe" doesn't cut it...just because people used to believe in something doesn't make it right does it?

  Jack - of the it never ceases to amaze me how stupid belief requires followers to be.

  Is God all-knowing?

  Is he all powerful?

  He cannot be both...otherwise he does not have the ability to change his mind....I guess that is why they refer to God as HE (only a woman has the perrogative to change her mind).

  Amanda,

  Take care and good luck my friend. You know how to find me if you need to. Thanks for sticking up for me when others here took the greatest of joy in my deactivation/s from here - even friends that I thought I had at the time turned out to be dublike in the ultimate and were too "scared" so they went along with the majority. Funny how people here don't know the real truth about some others...but prefer to hurt those they don't really know because of some perception. That is true prejudice and ignorance in action.

  You have grown so much the past 2 years - you have changed your life views and realized that life is indeed a sine wave...and at every dip we can begin to predict a rise again.

  People here now think you are sweet and kind (which you are), if you ever resurface perhaps one day they will also appreciate how intelligent you are and how much drive to succeed at life you have too (it blew me away when I got to know you and it was a fresh source of inspiration for me too).

  Jack
