If you do not like some principle, be majestic about it and present your case against it.
Why expose your bankruptcy (of ideas) becoming mad at some unrelated organization?

Death sentence to a Woman carried out in Texas!
by abiather inthe charge against her is that she lured a mentally disabled man under the pretext of marrying him, but tortured and killed him by kicking and beating him with belts.. when she was put to death wednesday, suzanne basso became the 14th woman to receive the death penalty since its reinstatement 38 years ago (it was the 510th execution in texas).
people accept this as deserving, because they know what has happened.. this makes it easy to accept principle of cause and effect (galatians 6:7) that says there is a cause for everything (whether perceptible or not).
it is simply impossible to know all the details of all the causes preceding an effect as people have several births.

There Is No Key To Happiness!
by abiather inreligions make it appear that there is a key to happiness and give the impression that they have the key, and enjoy people always look to them for happiness!.
interestingly, jesus meant there is no key to happiness, but it is the very nature of all human beings.
(luke 17:21) people like jws did not even translate this verse properly.

I was only refering to books of well-known American psychiatrist Dr Brian Weiss and Canadian psychiatrist Joel Whitton and Joe Fisher, and some reference from the Bible.
It is my own way of putting things together, has nothing to do with any organization

- Nobody in this world (where more than 50 million unborn babies are murdered in the name of parents’ convenience, who prefer to call the act abortion to murder) has the moral right to ask why children are born with disabilities.
- Read some books on past regression such as, "Many Lives Many Masters" written by American psychiatrist Dr Brian Weiss and a book called "Life Between Life", by Canadian psychiatrist Joel Whitton and Joe Fisher. Many have found direct link between present disabilities and past lives. For example, a person who destroyed another person’ eyes, thus caused blindness to him, is born blind in his next birth. “Eye for eye, tooth for tooth” is better understood here.
- Move to bigger picture. We all come FROM GOD, through parents, hence God is our only, and the real Father. If he permits one of his children to be born with disabilities, there should be sufficient reason behind—which others need not know.
- What we see is only a tip of the ice-berg; baby with disabilities are actually adult soul in a small body—yet a soul with endless past lives.
- Some of ancient Indian books of wisdom too speak on this subject. Once died, soul has enough time to see its own past life with all its details some of which were hidden while on earth, and rewind and to see repeatedly to his satisfaction. After that the soul, now fully convinced of its mistakes and faults, decides the suitable place and parents to work out its Karmic account, and take birth accordingly.
- Soul builds the body, taking raw materials from parents—mostly from mother. If the soul has decided to take a crippled body, it has many options—either build the body with disabilities as the need may be suitable to settle its karmic account, or choose a parents who suffer from deep negative emotion, or those who have extreme habits …
- Bible shows Jesus had pre-human existence, and is having now post-human existence. (John 5:24; 6:38, 62; 8:42; 13:1; 17:5) He was not an exception. Humans “RETURN” to their Heavenly Father after their death. (Ecclesiastes 12:7; Mark 12:26-27) and take rebirth if there is a purpose (Mathew 11:14). This happens without the approval of humans (Mathew 11:15)
- Remembrance of past lives is available in the ocean called sub-conscious mind. Such a big load need not be carried in the conscious mind. Because what is to be remembered is not details, but the basic tendency of a person—whether he is willing to treat all as his brothers and sisters or will he self-serving? Interestingly, the basic tendency of a person is very much discernible not only to the person, but also to the outsiders.

If neighbor is an apostate!
by abiather in1) for the entire law is fulfilled in keeping this one command: love your neighbor as yourself.
(galatians 5:14).
2) if you really keep the kingly law found in scripture, love your neighbor as yourself, you are doing right.

2) “If you really keep the Kingly law found in Scripture, “Love your neighbor as yourself,” you are doing right.” (James 2:8)
If JWs have a neighbor who has now become an apostate, on what ground will JWs break this command, which is called the Kingly Law?

I took this as scientists experiment after some assumption, and found amazing result. You may go ahead and practice. First experience will be this: You will not feel elated when praised nor depressed when snubbed/insulted by others. Because you know who you are. Besides, when you are relaxed, you are more powerful, sharp and wiser. That is good a premise to start with.

Theism Makes Science Impossible
by cofty init is not impossible to be a great scientist and a theist - kenneth miller and francis collins are good examples.. however, science depends on methodological naturalism - a working assumption that there are natural causes for observed effects.
please note that methodological naturalism is not the same as ontological naturalism.
in other words scientists may believe in a spirit world or not as long as god is never invoked as an answer.. contrast this with theism which, unlike deism, declares god to be immanent and active in the world.. consider a scientist who is also a theist doing research into the efficacy of a new drug that cures heart disease.

Actually, God has no part in the world-affairs, because he has everything to the automatic mechanism called Law of Cause and Effect, which is omnipresent, impartial, immutable, inexorable and impeccable!
Because man is endowed the knowledge, will-power, and ability, and has an ocean of experience to correct/fine-tune his future actions.
Yet people blame God for being inactive or think he is non-existent! If humans simply avoid all the wastages, everyone on earth can live like kings in palaces!!!

This is the beauty of life. The world is full of lessons. One can take lesson even from Mosquitoes. Even when they see cow breast filled with nutritious milk, they want to SADISTICALLY inflict pain and suck the blood from the breast skin, rather than benefitting from the milk!
When I talk about ELIXIR, you get stumbled over the alphabet E. Here too, You are right, because alphabet E is very much part of the word ELIXIR.
Thank you Wizard of Oz, and punkofnice for being an exception—though endangered species on earth!

Interestingly, Jesus meant there is no key to happiness, but it is the very nature of all human beings. (Luke 17:21) People like JWs did not even translate this verse properly. The Greek word (ἐντός) should have correctly been translated as “within” as every translation has done elsewhere (Compare Mathew 23:26). What is required is that one should RE-DISCOVER who he is and whom he belongs to, and stabilize in the realization. It is all about unfolding, not about acquiring!
We are the spirit children (of God who is “spirit”) in human form. (John 4:24); hence qualities of the spirit should come NATURALLYto us. That is why the Bible simply commands us to “put on” spirit personality “in true righteousness and holiness,” as if it is done as easily as you change your dress. It simply repeats: “Walk by the spirit,” “serving one another” and manifesting the qualities “of the spirit.” (Galatians 5:13, 16, 22-25)
When one engages in counterfeit happiness, as described in Galatians 5:19-21, those actions do not happen naturally. One seeks privacy before the act, and cover-up after the act, and repeated denial later whenever questioned by others. People impeach or remove even the President of their country for engaging in the works of the flesh.
Once re-discovered that you are happiness, be stable about it, as fire consistently display its qualities of heat and light. This you can do by the following ways:
1) By seeking harmony. Life is all about relationship. You are related to all humans via our heavenly Father (Mathew 23:9) Conflict means wastage of energy. If someone seems to be difficult to deal with, that is because he lives as though in a basement, thinking that is what happiness is all about, and nothing beyond! That means he has not experienced the real happiness that comes from showing genuine love. Hence we can be sympathetic about such people.
2) By refusing to see the mistakes of others. Everyone has an ocean of experiences (his or of others) around him to correct/fine-tune his ways (Mathew 7:3). When you try to control others, you lose your happiness!
3) Know the relationship between all happenings. One thing leads to another. Nothing happens to us which we do not deserve (Isaiah 3:10, 11 and Galatians 6:7). This realization would help us to
say good-bye to the past
enjoy the present and to
welcome the future.

Atheism and Theism are only partly right!
by abiather intoday we know that matter and energy are interchangeable, hence they are there always in either form, they are eternal, hence requires no creator.
hence atheism is right in rejecting a creator, but failed in providing any motivation for people to do good.
religions, in their effort to provide a motivating factor for humans to do good, introduced creation stories and other myths; hence they too are right (as far as their intention is concerned), yet failed in producing any worthy resultsworld was steadily moving from bad to worse and from worse to worst!.

Your question is already answered: “My experience is not an exception. It is a sample of history. History testifies to the human rights abuse of both religionists and atheists (eg. Communists Rule in various countries) if they are given political power.”
Any action should serve some purpose—otherwise should not be done. When atheism came to replace theism, what did it have to offer to the humanity? Or what is the message conveyed unuttered or untaught? ‘There is no creator, hence you can do whatever you want’—this is what most people took. Thus it added to the present sorry state of affair.
Take only one example! What is the number of people killed in all wars, terrorists attack, and accidents in a year? Will it come anywhere near to the number of unborn babies killed in the name of abortion every year—more than 50 million?
You said: “The facts are however that atheists are arguably more moral in certain areas than theists are.”
This is like saying: “The pilot who bombed Japan and saw the after-effects of the bombing later turned into an altruistic (He started Cheshire Homes all over the world for the welfare of the crippled and the orphans).”
But this is not the experience of all the pilots who bomb cities—it is just an exception.
