Personally, I believe that NO loving parent would create anything as vile as hell for his beloved children. That would make him cruel and unforgiving. :h

Plus, it would make him a huge, insecure egomaniac.

Just saw this Cantoo, these sentiments are MORE than enough for me!

Hard enough to take in all that I CAN see touch and feel without concerning myself with the mystical

Thank you

Yeah - me knows very well it works both ways.

Anyways, isn't wrong to say "I don't believe god exists", but better to say "I believe God doesn't exist" ... For you cannot not believe something you don't believe in, surely?

Feck. It's early and I just spouted that. Like, WTF?!

I'd hate to be God's lawyer...

3 words- Zeitgeist: The Movie

So many on this planet know so little about ancient history. Faith can be both soothing and horrifying. The horror part has always been used to control people. Some of the most decent people I know are faithless because they know that this life is what counts.

This may be the wrong place to ask but it would help me to have info from my world Wide people here :h....I am having an ...experience I need to settle things in my head and heart.

That said- can anyone provide experience with the Jehovah's witness people? I have...had...a good friend who has converted.

:thanks:

Hi Kradle - Not much experience here I'm afraid. I used to have a friend (co-worker) who was a JW. She was nice - very 'normal'. Except they didn't celebrate anything - no holidays, no milestones, etc. For instance, I invited her and her husband to our wedding and she said that they didn't get us a present but they'd be happy to take us to dinner sometime (really> wth is the difference?).

I'd imagine my concern would be the same for anyone converting to a new religion. Some people just go over the top with it - never talk about anything else, etc.

Do you have a specific concern?

so really, being a jahova's witness is an easy excuse to be a cheapskate!?
