Sunday Assembley Any Comments?

[EDDIE51]

I heard about this organisation through an item in New Scientist '' What if we all stopped believing in God?''
It sounds intresting all the posative aspects of church going with out the 'God' aspect, just celebration of the joy of being alive and living our one life to its full potential. Anyone been to a 'service' any comments?

A gathering of people...in a building called a church...but without God?????

What you have here is a bingo club.

Pugwash Instead of writing further nonsense here why don't u try to answer my simple question? While you attempt this then you might also answer Naomi's question as well.

Do you not believe that God is everywhere ?

When Jesus was resurrected, he “entered . . . into heaven itself, now to appear before the person of God for us.” (Hebrews 9:24)

This teaches us two important facts about Jehovah’. First, he has a place of dwelling. Second, he is a Person, not simply an indefinable force that resides everywhere.

Why would Atheists bother to join other Atheists. ?

"Yesterday upon the stair
I met a god who wasn't there.
He wasn't there again today.
I wish that god would go away."

Apologists to Hughes Mearns
People join/stay together for positive reasons not negative. Mutual disbelief alone is not enough.

Hello GL . Nice to see you back . Have you been instructed how to answer my previous post now ?
a. GL // Gospel writers Matthew , Mark , Luke, and John . would you tell me who they were ? //

b. GL // This teaches us two important facts about Jehovah’. First, he has a place of dwelling. Second, he is a Person, //

// Important facts ! // OK ! A fact is a concept whose Truth can be proved .
Now you prove your facts without quoting the hearsay in the bible . !

Where is that dwelling ? Why do you say he is a Person ? Only a person ! Wow ! An entity with all our weaknesses you mean !

Sounds to me very much like a Quaker meeting!

Some people have a pronounced need to be with others and to seek input, stimulus, reinforcement and confirmation from external sources: classic Extravert behaviour

they are just natural 'Joiners'

It's been invented decades ago, called the supermarket queue.
We need an alternative version where we gather to swear about the "downs", not the joys of life - as when we stub our big toe, it swells overnight and then pains like hell next day. We could gather with much gnashing of teeth. Very satisfying, but must be open 7-days a week, all hours.
However I would attend the current version if the "minister" cut my toenails. After all every man has his price.
