the god of christian theism values faith.. "without faith it is impossible to please god, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists" - heb.11.
faith and evidence are inversely proportional - the more evidence there is that god exists the less faith you need in that proposition and vice-versa.. so how can a christian criticise any other faith-based belief?
for example they can protest that all the evidence is against the claims of scientology, but that just means that scientologists require more faith than christians.
Dividing by zero is "undefined" not " unknown."
It is "undefined" because it makes absolutely no sense to divide something by zero. If you're dividing by zero, you aren't actually dividing at all. Mathematics can't do anything with that.
However, mathematics can work with "unknowns." Variables in algebra are exactly that: unknowns. They can be manipulated and even solved for. Mathematics definitely is in the business of "unknowns."
my grandfather insisted "birds of a feather flock together" and thought it was some kind of genius rule-of-thumb for understanding life.then i began noticing at school, at parties, in neighborhoods, people who looked the same hung out together and excluded others.then, i became a jw.
they only hang out with jw's.
the world was further divided into sheep and goats.
Well, I've always also heard that opposites attract.
Maybe we just have a saying at the ready to describe any type of behavior we see.
Or, one could carelessly repost things that others have posted without really thinking it over.
It's really important to challenge things like that because some people think that everybody agrees with them. You know, the idea of the silent majority.
It's important to get a reality check: #1 no, most people do not agree with you and #2 that's offensive.
Morning Warship has made him/ herself clear.
If he/she ever finds him/herself in need of food or medical care, he/ she will surely turn down Food Stamps and Medicaid.
People who complain like this should be excluded from those benefits.
i am wondering how much the bethel "allowance" is now?
it used to be $14!
is it true they really sign a vow of proverty now?
Well, it seems that at least in that particular incident it was Pierre providing!
I find that good things happen to people who do good things.
It's not perfectly proportional; there's no formula, but it seems that the nicer one is to others, the more likely it is that others will want to return the favor. :)
this is mine....watch "coolio ft. l.v - gangsta's paradise (official music video)" on youtubehttps://youtu.be/cpgbzylnz7c

i am curious if my observations are correct.
i noticed alot of exjws end up majoring in the social sciences.
i am also interested in what educational choices people have made either while fading or while completely out.
Elementary Education
In the US, community colleges will accept everyone with the caveat that you take placement tests and may have to take remedial classes first for no credit.
Once you have an associates degree from a community college, it is fairly easy to transfer to a larger university.
Fill out the federal student aid form, the FAFSA, and they will determine whether you are eligible for grants, which do not need to be paid back, or loans. It's based on your family income.
I was eligible for loans to cover tuition and a little bit extra. However, I did not have to pay room and board as a commuter student. Living on campus might have presented a financial gap.
They seemed to give out these loans freely. My husband made a decent income at the time, so it seems likely that most people could get their tuition covered with loans.
And, I now owe the federal government a giant pile of cash!
