Recently I've read a comment by a hobbyist theologian who said that Academic Bible Studies are somewhat irrelevant theologically, since it would be just weakening people's faith since it's based only in facts about the natural world, which isn't able to reach God's Divine, supernatural essence.

Is this understanding common among theologians and theology enthusiasts? What's your take on this?

I just got transferred to DS9 and all these guys talk about is some Bajoran Worm Hole and how it's huge and full of profits that can obliterate entire fleets of Jem'Hadar. Should I be afraid of this worm? I was dozing off at the briefing and now I'm scared to ask, Commander Sisko is a scary man.

Hey everyone!

My JW dad is very sick, and I fear he will be passing away soon. This is pretty bad, but we've been expecting this to happen eventually, so it is what it is, I guess.

However, since I'm the only faded JW in the family, I'm sure the congregation will fall upon me like vultures trying to reconvert me during the funeral, and maybe even chase me to offer "comfort". This is an already difficult moment, and they're gonna try to exploit my vulnerability to pull me back into the doomsday cult with veiled threats disguised as care. I know I shouldn't be so annoyed by this, but I'm fuming!

Just wanted to vent a bit. Any hints on how to shut them down would be welcome as well.

This way he'd stay alive, in a way. Did Janeway forbid keeping *any* part of Tuvix alive?
