LOL In keeping with the Indiana Jones theme, if it does get found.. don't look at it.

wait... for... it.... I'll probably be on the toilet when it does finally turn over.

You're not alone in wondering. I imagine it'd be viewed as impossible to prove, unless it spouted lightening, etc. And if it did, then... well. I've always looked at the various Christians claimants - Ethiopia, etc - as being almost insulting to the concept. But then the fact it was so easily...

I prefer the Last Crusade. I like the way the old knight guy says, 'you've chosen wisely'. Sean Connery is cool, too. Speaking of age, he's held up better than Harrison Ford. They could play brothers now.

Yeah, ditto. LOL I'm taint no good at speechafin', and congratulationin'.

Four more to go! Don't ban or delete any members for awhile. LOL

You know, I never thought of that. What exactly are the restrictions? It seems insulting to say that, but my best friend in grade school was JW, and I remember the constant worry about the possibility of him signing a birthday card, or having the concept of free election stressed in class (he'd...

Maybe I should register five fake usernames so I can sleep more soundly. I have a 'mile-o-meter' fetish, I think. 1,001 is going to be hell.

For a long time I thought masturbation was bad. I don't know if that was a result of religious belief or just some undefined fear. I was actually about sixteen before I stopped trying to 'quit'.

Cool, thanks.

Anything by the holy trinity of the Italianos. Pier Paolo Pasolini, Franco Zeffirelli, Sergio Leone. Un Chien Andalou by Bunuel is the be all and end all. Some people think its tacky after so many years, but those people are idiots. Meshes of the Afternoon is good too. I have a short...

I've been looking on the net for some resource describing all the various miracles Buddha was suppose to have... done, or witnessed. Miracles or wonderous things seem to be at odds in some interpretations of Buddhism, and I blame that for my inability to find anything on the net. But I was...

I hate to continue to 'attack' JWs, but this site (after a good skim) does a better job at explaining some things than I have, and provides reproductions of examples, too. Here's the explanation behind 'I am'. http://neirr.org/egoeimi.htm The link to the mainpage is at the bottom. But it...

Some people pursue celibacy, and some have celibacy thrust upon them. LOL I'm a horny little monkey, but my faith definitely has the last word in every sexual situation. Virtually every sexual encounter I've had, my spirituality cuts it short by reminding me of the shortcomings of the flesh...

Re: curious Doesn't make sense does it? Apparently, God created everything, but hates most of his own handywork. To that I say, don't be so down on yourself, Yahweh. LOL You did good, boss.

Re: The family of Jesus: I was trying to remember where that line was from. Another good point. I'd forgotten about that... apparent contradiction between gospels.

Well, we'll have to agree to disagree on that. I've never even bothered to look for a translation with integrity. I just rely on the word for word literal translation, with the english next to the greek with footnotes. I can't even remember now. Was it about Jesus' use of 'I am'? If so, I...

I have nothing to add, but 'well said'.

Well, like I said before, everyone thinks ther faith is misrepresented by this one or that one. And every such argument is valid. Call me cynical, but I look at that as the exception that proves the rule.

I've always been of the opnion that all the gospels, the life-story of Jesus were a result of gnostic midrash. None of what could be called the earliest writings mention anything about a gospel Jesus, and the theology of Paul as seen in the epistles frequently seem at odds with the gospel Jesus...
