Active posters: What education have you had, what degrees do you possess?
by EndofMysteries infrom so many posts and conversations on here, you'd think over 1/2 the posters here possess doctorates in theology, physics, biology, etc.
i'm curious aside from the books and research people have done here, what degrees they have.
to start, i just got an aa and going straight through full time to an mba.

Why people don't believe in God
by pressman indo you want to know why i think people don't believe in god?
well i believe people don't want to believe in god because they are scared.
they know that if they finally do gorge the confidence to believe in him, he might discipline them for their skepticism.

"You see, studying so called evidence takes nothing from you to do. You just open a book and let your eyes twirl. Having faith takes the integrity mixed with your inner power. Do not be afraid to be strong and believe just because some book says so. I am only giving you the best advice on this I can."Having faith takes the integrity mixed with your inner power".
Mr. Presman,
.When a physical force (inner power) wraps itself around an abstract concept (god) , the result is blind belief; which, in your parlance, is convoluted in the postulation above. What you are essentially saying is "shut your mind to all intellectual rationalization to the contrary, and just believe in my irrational intellectual creation called santa claus just becuse it makes me feel like jesus. Ain't that just 'twirling' your eyes to the 'book' that made you believe in santa in the first place. Consequently, It takes 'integriry' and this "inner power' that you speak of ,to rationalize and reject this fairy god father and the JWian mind-trap which you seem to be championing so devoutly and cluelessly.

Natural Selection in Religions
by Victor ini recently developed an interest in examining the origins of religion.
so what i've gathered so far is this.

New to all of this
by Ghiagirl ini was raised in the truth my whole life, my immediate family are jws and my moms mom is a witness as well as my fathers mom.
other than that the rest of my family are non jws.
i was raised very balanced, my parents never forced the truth on me or my siblings like most of my friends parents did getting baptized at ridiculous ages!

March Broadcast- Jehovah is speeding up the work
by adjusted knowledge ini watched some of the segments on the jw broadcast.
in the video they showed how they managed their inventory orders for the congregations.
at the conclusion it was stated by the narrator how god is speeding up the work.. the problem is the system they implemented has been used for over two decades in logistics.

"Jehovah is speeding up the work".
Yup! No doubt about it. The desert god's got them faster camels with blades on the hoof now.
A state of the art 21st century innovation. Trolleys!!! The work moves so fast , it makes the franchisees CEOing the invention look like they are .....Sitting Stills.
