  Are you religious or are you spiritual? Wake up to what?

  there is a huge difference between been religious and been spiritual.

  been religious is about been superior to others in the sight of god.

  however, been spiritual is about self awareness, inner peace and unity with the natural world.

  I have been ridiculed for saying that I still feel spiritual even though I don't believe in God

  No one should do that.

  I would never ridicule someone for expressing a belief in God, as I see no point to it.

  I've not seen anyone do that.

  However the delta wave is the brain wave of someone asleep. So if I as trying to promote another cult or sect I would have chosen alpha wave which is to be awake Haha

  That is 100% a BK teaching. I am pretty sure we've covered this ground before...

  Don't mind the rude behaviour of some posters on here.
  It is true that if you are highly opinionated on here and try to present those opinions as fact some posters will tactlessly try to jump on you.

  I it very curious you think is tactless to jump on an expose lies. On an completely unrelated note, I have this amazing wheat to sell you.

  The rude behavior is the lie in the first place, not the exposure of it.

  How do JW's know that the bible is inspired?

  asked a friend of mine this question the other day.

  here was his answer: "well, because paul said, 'all scripture is inspired of god...'".

  but seriously, that argument is like saying, "the bible is inspired because it says so!

  The same way any religious person knows it. They're making stuff up.

  I have a problem with the reality that you're an abuser.

  You should have a problem with keeping track of all the things you make up. You should look into a spreadsheet to keep track of it all.

  I do however feel there is some validity in what teachers such as Jesus, Bhudda and Muhammad said in terms of living a life that isn't based solely around superficial things such as money, holidays and fashion!

  It's amazing that, with zero exposure to the BK teachings, managed to pick a user name very specific to their teachings and then promote their very specific teachings in your postings, even promoting them as you attempt to deny them.

  t's one thing to tell me: "You're wrong. Because..."
  It's another thing to say: "You're dishonest."
  The first I take it well. The second, I don't. It's not about compartmentalization; it's about urbanity.

  Again, I can't help it if you have a problem with reality.

  I have, but you don't think it qualifies as a personal attack / insult. I beg to differ

  You misrepresenting what I said is nothing new. You don't have to beg, either.

  It's certainly not my imagination when I'm the object of it, perhaps you can ask your interlocutor if he/she felt personally offended by your remark.

  It's not your imagination. I can't help it if you getting called out for making false statements feels like a personal attack to you. You just need to hone your debate skills and learn to compartmentalize your arguments from your person.

  Besides, it is perfectly possible to insult someone all the while staying on topic. I recommend you reading "Churchill's Wit" for an example of that.

  Don't misrepresent people and your problem will go away.

  None of these people were promoting the BK cult, but it is the way they feel about Jesus Muhammad and Buddha.

  Very true. However, DW's name is the same as a specific teach of the BKs and DW is promoting the very specific teachings of the BKs.

  It's the equivalent of someone saying they had never heard of the JWs but promoting 1914, overlapping generations and their blood policy.

  You statement certainly did make it sound like you have a problem with meditation. If you don't, then there is nothing to discuss.

  As I said, I never said anything negative about meditation. Any idea that I did came from you alone, not me.
