A thousand comments to
as many posts
on a thread that wanders
People are about as happy as they make up their minds to be
think it was Lincoln that said that
and the JWs
if they werent unhappy enough to begin with
gather each week to tell one another
how bad it really is
and in case that isnt enough
they read publications in between
saying
its even worse
So what would one expect
except depression
sickness
disasters
conflict
misery
they are merely receiving as they asked
living out their vision of life
One of my favorite things to ask ... when I was a JW ... of other JW's ... was ... what is the purpose of life .., and after staring at me quizzically ... they referred me to a booklet called ... What Is The Purpose of Life ... and I would ask ... have you read it... cause it doesn't answer the question ... so what is the purpose of life ???? ... I was always in trouble ...
Is the Bible
from God
IMHO many parts may well have been inspired
but the Church got ahold of two things
the actual words
and the interpretation of those words
What we do have
if we choose
is the Word of God
the promised holy spirit
direct communication
and the more open we are
the freer the flow
There is a lot of enlightenment available
if we are only open to it
asking
I was wondering if anyone here has seen What the Bleep do we Know
and if so
would they like to start a thread
(it isnt available down under yet)
The funnest edges of science tell us
this is an illusion
which in no way invalidates
God
but rather it can help lead to satisfying answers of some very deep questions
such as
Why would God
who is Love
allow this painful mess
that only contains dying, pain, depression, see JWs above
who don't know the purpose ...
Anyone want to start some threads? Cant guarantee I will be there
but I might throw in the odd
(very odd ??) comment
Much philia
