Questions to God.

[The_Doc_Man]

As to being Native American, I'm about 1/16th Cherokee myself. Not enough to count for special treament. Probably just as well.

Having two Native American grandparents makes you 50% Native American by legal definitions UNLESS the other grandparents were also mixed blood. Last I looked, in order to qualify for any benefits, you needed to be at least 1/8th NA, or maybe it was 1/4th. Whatever the number, I wasn't qualified for it. Yet another benefit I missed. Typical luck.

As to the God question, I would ask why He allows hatred to be fomented in His name.

It seems that most Americans are. Is it some kind of "in thing" to be related to Red Indians?

Daniella seems to think he is also a half breed.

I guess if you actually pick an apple off a tree to eat, not only are you prehistoric, but definitely not a sinner since no god ever existed to forbid it in the first place.

No food shops or supermarkets here, unless you count Wal-Mart. It's cheaper to buy the ammo and hunt for food yourself. We also barter our goods at small market streets, including salt-dried meats and hand-picked nuts and fruits. You have to be careful of the red berries with the spines, they are poisonous. After dinner, we all dance around a huge fire chanting for rain to feed our crops. Then we beat our many wives with clubs and drag them by their hair to our caves.

Wow Vassago, always thought you lived states side, turns out your in Glasgow???

The sooner they legalise euthanasia the better.

I'll second that, I have a list

 

[oumahexi]

What one question would you ask God ( if there was one)

I have loads too, but I think the most pressing one is "how come you put two socks into the washer and only one comes out?"

Bigger questions I think I'll leave to her peers.

Currently in the UK there are adverts on the outside of buses questioning whether religion is socially unacceptable etc. (which it is)

One advert asks the question - "If there were a God - what one question would you ask him/her"

Any takers? What one question would you ask God ( if there was one)

Col

Can you please protect me from your followers?

So that's where my other one went,

I wonder if that's an "out of washer experience"

All these questions can be answered at www.watchtower.org

All these questions have a clever opinion answer - nobody knows for sure there is a god. The advert on the side of buses I mentioned is more indicative of there being no god - i.e it's all a big joke.

I don't know why they're advertising for members here, according to their own prophecy, there isn't enough room for the members they already have in paradise, let alone new punters. Anyway, they only achieved fame after Jimmy Hendrix sang a song for them

 

[scott-atkinson]

It gets so boring too, every other week we have them knocking at the door handing out Watchtower magazines, if they like walking and knocking on doors, why don't they get a Kleeneze round they can make some money then as well

And then when I use the mag for re-cycling purposes I discover they've used cheap bloody ink, it certainly leaves a mark!

I have a couple of deterents on my front door. First, the name tag on the door bell reads S.A. Tan, second there is a notice on the door saying please do not be offended if this door is slammed in your religious face. Haven't seen hide nor tail of any religious sects since I put them up.

Rich, I like your comment on Hendrix

I have to apologize....Jehovah's Witnesses are NOT advertising for members here or on any Web Site. I use this site on a regular basis for programming advice. I just thought this was a interesting discussion. I have wondered the same questions in this post and I just wanted to share what I found. This was in no way a reflection on Jehovah's Witnesses or to say that they are recruiting members on the internet. The work is being done by the preaching work as you already know. I have found the official web site very beneficial in answering my questions. Again, my apologies

I, for one, found the bit about cows on holiday quite informative.
How come none of the people who come to my door have ever mentioned that?

It takes a big man to admit responsibility. Thanks.

In truth the only issue I have with Witness faith is the issue of blood transfusions, if one of my children needed my blood to save their life I would not like religion to be in the way....

Now the wife on the other hand.... mmmm I'm seeing the benefits already....


Only Joking.....

As you were responding to my post can I say that I took no offence and did not require any apology. If I contribute to a thread on God/religion I must expect believers of all and any religion, sect ,ideal etc to be able to reply.

Is the answer REALLY 42?

 

[TxSteve]

I think I would ask, "Why can't humans just grasp the simple concept of love and forgiveness?"

stike that...

I may ask why he gave us free will to invent marketing agencies.

Somewhere along our path we strayed. Now our worldly message is it is all about "Me" What's in it for me and screw the next guy... The world's view says I should have a bigger car, a monster home, a great job, marry barbie, have the perfect job and so on. Sad stuff....What's ya gonna take with you when you pass along?

Thank God for wisdom.

I've learned to love, live in harmony and share.

God bless, <>< Steve

Very close to my beliefs.

It always delights me to see people prove the value of their words.
