Why do we spend our lives struggling? Isn't life about living and happiness? I struggle to succeed and in success brings happiness. So I guess happiness and struggle go hand in hand. We all must risk something to get where we want to be. In the end, is it worth all the years of stress and anxiety? I live my life with never-ending optomism. I think that everyone cares about one another, even though the things I see would suggest otherwise. I think we are in this world to get along and be happy, even though the turmoil leads me to believe we are all in it for ourselves. People need to relize that we are all human and must work together. As the earth grows smaller and smaller, we must see this as our means of survival.

Someone made a comment that they couldn't be paid enough to live in the rural U.S.
My question is, which would you rather live in, and why not the other?

From what i have studied..most JW's today, when they are saved, become part of "the great crowd," but there are 144,000 in the annoited class that will reign and rule with Christ, I found verses that show this idea to be false... Can any JW's explain these discrepencies to me?
1) Rev 14:4 says that the 144,000 our those not defiled with woman, so only virgin men are in the 144,000.
According to JW, the Great Crown wont be in Heaven...but
2) In Rev 7:19 the great crowd is in the temple, and Rev 14:17 tells us the temple is in Heaven
3) John 10:16 says that there will be one flock, with one shepherd, not two different groups.
4) John 12:26 says that wherever Jesus is, we will be with Him, so how can the GC be in a seperate place than Him.
So ya... let me know what you think

Just as in the other first world countries as education and self-reflective analysis improves a rise in atheism follows. It is inevitable and will follow exactly the model of the rest of the English speaking world and Europe. Indeed it has already begun.

FROM ISAIAH 13:13-16:
Therefore I will make the heavens tremble;
and the earth will shake from its place
at the wrath of the LORD Almighty,
in the day of his burning anger.
Like a hunted gazelle,
like sheep without a shepherd,
each will return to his own people,
each will flee to his native land.
Whoever is captured will be thrust through;
all who are caught will fall by the sword.
Their infants will be dashed to pieces before their eyes;
their houses will be looted and their wives ravished.

I just read about the ladys that are crying racism because of a guy having to check her reciept before leaving Toys R Us. Yes, I am white, and I have my reciept checked before leaving a lot of stores. Its there job. Some of my best friends are black, and I was the best man in one of their weddings a few years back, and he even doesn't understand it. He grew up in a mobile home park and worked hard to get where he is and has never complained like other african americans. I know I have been discriminated against when it comes to certain jobs because of age and education, but I just keep working hard. I am not trying to start anything or offend anyone, but it just doesn't make sense to me. I grew up with nothing and have even been told if I was african american I could have qualified for a loan, but because I am white,the government did not want to help me out.Everyone I know has had to work hard, and yet all I see on the news is racism over stupid things, like people wanting a free ride.

" Kundalini is referred to as a Goddess in the East, as the Divine Feminine is the archetypal form of the power of creativity and embodiment. Her effects, while transformative and supremely uplifting, may feel challenging at times and dis-integrative, especially as She does the work of setting the mind and body free from the many layers of conditioning that bind them. This allows for a higher order of integration and wholeness of Self to emerge.
Kundalini Shakti, the power of the Infinite to reveal itself....."

Deuteronomy 6:4 "Hear, O Israel, Yahweh our God is one Yahweh."
Genesis 2:24 "Therefore, a man shall leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave to his wife and they shall become one flesh."
Word used for "one" in Deuteronomy 6:4: "ehad".
Word used for "one" in Genesis 2:24: "ehad".
Word that could have been used in Deuteronomy 6:4 if the writer had meant "unique, a single or only one": "yahed".
The way "ehad" is consistently used in the Tanakh: "a compound unity, one made up of others"; see also Genesis 1:5, 2:11, 2:21, 3:22, 49:16, Numbers 13:23, Psalms 34:20, Jeremiah 8:10 (translated as "altogether" in JPS).

I just moved into a condo complex. I chose it because it was so quite (I work from home so I need it quite during the day so I can concentrate). My neighbor has their TV/subwoofer against our joined wall and all day I hear the whoomp whoomp whoomp to whatever they're listening to. I asked them lower it down but it is so constant from 10:30 am to 7pm I have a headache by the end of it all. Am I being too sensitive or should I ask again?

I read your posts saying *No purpose of life* we are just here.
So does Benjamin Franklin have more of a purpose than a bum in the alley who never had a job an education is a drunk just taking up air?
If we have no purpose then we have no value?
Maybe the purpose of life is what GOD says *Serving Other's and not ourselves* Jesus taught *all* have value no one is above anyone else
But don't you think saying human beings have no purpose they are just here is the same as saying there is no value to life we are just here....
Many people live in this world are totally useless are evil yet we have value for them because they are human and alive and have a GOD given right to be on the planet, if that's the case Man could start saying who could they eliminate because some human beings have no purpose or value?

Or even that the ressurection occured on Easter Sunday? How do you know these dates are accurate and not, as many other religions will attest, simply Pagan holidays under a new name?
Is there any biblical proof of these being the actual dates? And if so, why aren't they in the bible?

I've been renovating my kitchen and it's Murphy's Law the whole time - cabinets stuck in China, hiring contractors that either didn't show up or did a v. bad job, etc.
A few weeks ago I was at a lunch for work and after being asked about my kitchen I mentioned that I'd just fired contractor number four. A Faculty member (I work at a small school) I know only slightly referred me to his contractor.
This contractor was perfect - did a great job, on time, same price as the estimate, etc. After not having a working kitchen for five months (!) you can imagine how grateful I am to this faculty member for the referral.
I've called to thank him when he first gave me the contractor info. I don't want to be too over the top, but what do you think about sending the faculty member a card and maybe a small gift?

Some time ago, I went to a meeting attended by rich professionals for the cause of elephants in captivity. Thousands of dollars was raised for this cause. I kept thinking about how this money could be used for the human condition. What is best for society? If you believe in God, what would you think God would want you to do with your money?

Christians, almost all of them, rely upon a book to tell them their truths.
And what are those truths? That Humanity is flawed, wicked, and unworthy of an honourable fate unless they appease the deity who put them in that position.
And how do they appease this god? By piously persecuting all who disagree with their truths.
Historically, this has included the use of gruesome torture and execution. More recently, it has wound down (thanks to secularism) to the point where we are talking about the denial of equality for others who disagree with the christian truths.
They don't execute heretics anymore. They create legislation to make life harder for them and more favourable for christians.
