I work in house keeping at a nursing home, and i had just worked last night and for the first time i was passing out cloths (putting residents cloths in their closets) and in the process this elder man walks up to me...
At my job ive really been having problems, i was hired without orientation, so i wasnt informed on safty precaution issues, wasnt getting paid enough etc...etc...
Well anyway, this elder man walks up to me and says..." dont let them use you as an instrument, you work really hard" and then he said "i love you" lol... Now keep in mind that i have never in my life seen this guy before, and yes i know that there are some patients/residents that my not be in their right mind, but do you think that it was god that could have been speaking through him trying to tell me somthing??? because i have been lacking on praying/reading the bible, and since ive been working there they had me working every sat. and sun. (i usually go to church on saturdays) i havnt been to church

is because you don't have faith.

you need to ask the unicorn into your heart, and then he will show himself to be true. but this will only work of you are sincere when you ask him. you need to have faith.

faith - Belief that does not rest on logical proof or material evidence is not something that should be encouraged.

why are people proud of the fact that they sometimes arise at beliefs without a logical reason to do so?

When Dionysus turned water into wine.
When Romulus is described as the Son of God, born of a virgin.

When Vespatian's spittle healed a blind man

and why do you hide? What will happen if you step out and face the truth about yourself (whatever that is)? Are you afraid of the responsibility of living an authentic life?

When people do it all the time.

I changed mine from a deep, sincere Christianity to atheism.

When the evidence is shown to prove that your religion is faulty or completely wrong, isn't it delusion to not change?

If I believed that the Earth were flat and I went up in a space shuttle and saw, first hand that it was spherical, it would be incumbent upon me to change my belief, would it not?

As religion becomes more and more unreasonable in the face of science and reason, should people who say that they would NEVER change their beliefs, be thought of as unreasonable people?

The fullness of my question is, why should I consider your message without examinable evidence, without also accepting the message of astrology without examinable evidence? or Buddhism? or Taoism? Hinduism? Islam?

Can't you see you are just one item in the supermarket of ideas, no different from any of the other shiny packages of nothing? So far, your televengelists and pedophile priests and inquisitions and pre-emptive wars have given me little incentive to "buy".

In philosophy, materialism is a form of physicalism which holds that the only thing that can be truly proven to exist is matter. Fundamentally, all things are composed of material and all phenomena are the result of material interactions; therefore, matter is the only substance. (wikipedia.com)

to travelling untravelled path for our next generation? Should we not forget death for a while to understand the exact picture of sorrow and grief that is accumulating to fall on our incoming generation? Should we not rise above our narrow domestic walls to seek shelter under the spiritual game plan irrespective of east west or middle east to begin with the rising sun of the new year? Or we should land with cheating each other like other days with new years greetings!

John 14:28: "You heard me say to you, 'I am going away, and I will come to you.' If you loved me, you would have rejoiced, because I am going to the Father, for the Father is greater than I"

Religion and people will start using the word exclusively in this context???
What happened to belief in humanity or belief in elves or what ever you wish. It means fictitious, not proven.
I don't believe that it gives us the right to try to rob any ones belief of and in God or Gods, Reincarnation or Santa Clause, Why is there so much disrespect and hatred towards a non proven, opinion oriented thing, belief?

No thumbs down please, everyone has a right to verbalize themselves.

I recenlty came across something that is troubling me. Sometimes there may be a discussion about a particular subject that the Governing Body has made a decision on. And... sometimes there may be an individual who is finding it hard to accept or understand the decision that's been made. While it is the intention of this individual to make sure to wait on Jehovah for further clarification on this subject and continue to be obedient to the direction and decision of the Governing Body... can this individual still be viewed as an apostate, or need to meet with a judicial committee and be disfellowshipped... simply for finding it hard to accept the decision, even though they are not trying to go against or promote their views? Can this be... even if their intentions are to be obedient and wait on Jehovah?

I see it again and again from people here and on other sites.

I've seen people refuse to believe that the Bible was canonized in the 4th century by the catholic church.

I've seen people who refuse to believe that women often took leadership rolls in the first generation of Christianity. (which was quickly undone as a survival technique.)

I've seen people who flat out deny that the Bible texts were altered by scribes when copied or translated; they think it's almost exactly the same as when it was first penned.

And of course the most famous is the denial of evolution despite very solid evidence such as the signs of retroactive viruses in our DNA which prove we have a common ancestor with some animals, and dozens of kinds of carbon dating that have been proven accurate. (Some will cling to the fact the one of these dozen types of carbon dating was not accurate, despite the evidence that many other kinds are.)

I think it is in Acts about not eating the blood or letting the blood drain from the meat before eating it. Then there is the save the fat for Me (God). So, originally we were not?
