  I want to grow my hair back out!

  a few months prior to baptism i had shoulder length hair which i loved and had wanted ever since i was a child.

  i remember sitting with an elder during a bible study and asking him point blank if i 'had' to cut my hair.

  whilst the answer was given slightly awkwardly the answer was a no, "there are no rules that say you have to cut your hair".

  China to become new world superpower..

  http://money.cnn.com/2013/07/18/news/economy/china-us-superpower/

  Will China supplant the United States as the world's leading superpower and top player in the world economy?

  A new Pew Research Center survey of 38,000 people in 39 countries found the widespread belief that China is well on its way.

  Overall, a majority or plurality of respondents in only six of the countries surveyed believe the U.S. will remain on top.

  "Publics around the world believe the global balance of power is shifting," Pew wrote. "China's economic power is on the rise, and many think it will eventually supplant the United States as the world's dominant superpower."

  In both the United States and China, an increasing number of respondents agree with this thesis.

  and..

  "For the first time in centuries China has overtaken the US as the world’s biggest trading nation, with total trade standing at $4.16 trillion in 2013."

  I don't agree with all that softly softly tactic. Sometimes hard and direct is the right way to deal with people have come to lie to you wether they know they are liying or not.

  Falshoods should be smashed top pieces no gentle dismanled with kid gloves.

  Is there anything you could do forever that wouln't get boring?

  by mynameislame in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  not sure when i came to this conclusion but i can't imagine living forever.

  after a while i think i would be completly bored with everything.. not saying i wouln't like to live for a few hundred years or maybe even a few thousand if i could travel through space and discover other universes star trek style.

  but the thought of living forever sounds like it would eventually become a complete drag.. maybe i'm wrong, maybe after a thousand years or so you would foregt all the stuff that happend at the beginning and just start over in an infinite loop..

  Oh I don't know.. I'd certainly like to give it a go. if finally having a real relationship and direct connection with God is anything akin to DMT I imagine it could be quite blissful.

  Was it not them that said: "Witness children get presents all year round.. not just at Christmas".

  It follows than that one can show love and appreciation to Jesus all year round and not just on memorial day..

  Jesus' Teachings - Helpful or Harmful?

  by jgnat in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  spinning off from another thread, have jesus' teachings been less than universally helpful to mankind?

  how do we measure if a particular philosophy is helpful or harmful?.

  i am going to use the "universal morals" listed here.
