Point is, you have nothing to prove or evidence your beliefs outside of your own mind. To say otherwise is, at best, naïve, at worst, a flat out lie. This is what I meant by "in your head".


So, in your head, you believe there is such a thing as an afterlife, but you have no evidence or proof to know that you are right. (For the record, I don't discount a possible afterlife or rebirth, I just choose not to believe in unsubstantiated claims, because I am not a simpleton.) I prefer to stay in reality, and help those in need. You know, the people that are right here in front of me? The people that we know exist? You can live in fantasy land and ignore all of those who are suffering (Or tell them to find God and still not help them) if you want, it just makes you a terrible person. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I know God does not lie. The bible has been proven truth. Those suffering without, fail to listen to Jesus. He promised his Father would provide--sustenance, covering, spirituality) if one applied Matt 6:33--- the trinity charities wont even teach this to the needy along with the temp fix--that is the problem--they fail both Jesus and the needy.

No, you don't. You THINK you know. That is my point. You know nothing.

Uhh, no, it hasn't. Please, point us to this "proof" you have. No? I didn't think so.

Right, so your God only helps those who believe in him the right way. Everyone else can go suck a lemon, I guess, huh? Why help the poor people around the world when you can watch them suffer and starve, right?


You worship a joke of a God.

So what? The Masons are not occult, and what difference does it make what symbols the JWs choose to use?

Which symbols do you mean? Can you point them out, so we can examine them properly? I'm honestly curious to see if there is anything 'occultic' about them.

The Masons use symbols that are reflective of the stone building masons because they work those symbols into morality lessons to use to make men better. These symbols include such things as a square, a compass, a plumb, a ruler, a mallet, a trowel, etc. If some "occult" organization is using similar symbols to some of those used by the Masons, it still fails to force the Masons to magically become "occult" because some other group chooses to use symbols that look like theirs.

Neither Horus nor Orion have anything to do with Masonry.
