...do you really take a drink? Or do you just type "drink"? If you just type it, what's the point of "participating" in a Drinking Game, if you're not actually going to participate and drink??

I'm just asking, 'cause I don't believe the majority of you people actually drink when you TYPE "Drink". Maybe I'm wrong. Am I?

Your thoughts on this quote?
"If my decomposing carcass helps nourish the roots of a Juniper tree or the wings of a vulture - that is immortality enough for me. "

Hi.

I have been raised as a Jehovah's Witness my whole life - I'm 18 next month - and I have come to the decision that I am leaving the faith. I have not been baptised.

The reason I am leaving is because i have come to love science and its ways. It seems to offer much logical explanations to questions that I have, and doesn't require blind faith, a concept that I have recently come to abhor. This strong desire to leave is also perpetuated by teh fact that I am going to university in September to study Astrophysics - a field containing many ideas that conflict with JW teaching.

I have known I would leave for the past year and a half, but I have no idea how to break it to the parents. What do i say? How do I break it to them without crushing them? As I say I have no belief now but this means a lot to them regarding their faith - I now have no hope for "everlasting life".

As I say, I have made up my mind. I do not want preached to, any bible studies. Just some sound advice.

Thanks.

Let's think about this. Apparently, Noah brought two of each animal onto his boat of fun. The simplest way to put it, is he had two elephants, two bears, etc.

However, there are many subspecies of each animal. For example, the African elephant (which also consists of forest elephants and savannah elephants...) and the Asian elephant. But let's be simple, we'll say there were just four elephants on the boat. Then there are rhinos...The five types of rhinos are the Sumatran, Javan, black, white, and Indian. Wow, that makes ten rhinoceri. There are three disctinct types of giraffe: Masai, Reticulated and Rothschild, so six giraffes on the boat...are you seeing a pattern here? This boat's getting pretty damn heavy.

Then, Noah had supposedly built this boat with his own bare hands, out of wood, no less, and somehow managed to make it big enough to carry all these animals?

And while I do think how he was treated was terrible and horrific, its equal to or even less than some other people of this earth have been tortured throughout the ages. I don't know if I'm just being ridiculous or what, but I would think that what Jesus would have had to do to save all the billions of people that he was saving would be far worse than anyone could ever conceive of. I do not WISH this to be the case, I am simply asking what I think is a good question.

1. God created the heaven and the earth.

2. God Created a beautiful universe and
sustained it working laws.

3. God created self-conscious intelligent
beings.

4. God created persons in his own image
(likeness).

5. God created persons with freedom of
choice.

6. God did not run away from man after he
sinned(Broke God's Law).

7. God implemented a death sentence
upon humans because of their sins.

8. God involved himself in the salvation of
man by sending his son Jesus(God-man)
to die on a Cross to redeem mankind for
their sins Only a sinless person could
possibly pay for the sins of another.

It would seem to me that it would not matter to them what people believed.

Does that mean they're denouncing their own god? After all, Allah is the same Abrahamic god of the Jews and Christians.

What's the deal??

Think about it; is inheriting this earth such a good thing? Wouldn't that just be the proverbial white elephant? With all of the problems that are facing the world today, would the meek be able to handle it? It doesn't sound like such a good bargain to me.

Your thoughts?

Is that a sin? I don't hate them or anything but I don't like some of my Christian brothers and sisters approach when answering questions. So am I a horrible Christian for feeling that way? Am I passing judgement on them? Or am I entitled to feel the way I feel?
