  Want to know why people accept evolution ?

  by snare&racket in

  do you have questions about or want to understand evolution?

  it is a difficult concept to communicate and so if it is not explained well , it is understandable that we would dismiss it.. i sincerely want to talk with people who want to learn more or see what all the fuss is about.

  we are all learning and increasing our knowledge all the time and it is good to go over facts with critical eye.. evolution we can discuss, looking at the foundational facts and evidence, one at a time for you to go and check, agree or disagree with and return.. no pressure to accept it, you can decide for yourself, also no mocking etc of what you have to say.. .

  funny thoughts when pondering the actions of god

  by confusedandalone in

  isnt it interesting that if god needs to warn millions of people that they need to change he talks to like 1 guy and tells this one guy to talk to 1 million people or 7million to talk to 7billion people.

  it would obviously be easier faster and far more convincing.. .

  yet when alot of people need to die.... he will personal kill each one.

  It's a perfect God trying to communicate with imperfect people.

  Maybe he's not so perfect nor omnipotent.

  Is there anything you could do forever that wouln't get boring?

  by mynameislame in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  not sure when i came to this conclusion but i can't imagine living forever.

  after a while i think i would be completly bored with everything.. not saying i wouln't like to live for a few hundred years or maybe even a few thousand if i could travel through space and discover other universes star trek style.

  but the thought of living forever sounds like it would eventually become a complete drag.. maybe i'm wrong, maybe after a thousand years or so you would foregt all the stuff that happend at the beginning and just start over in an infinite loop..

  LOL! When I saw this thread I immediately thought to myself, "I bet I know what Outlaw will say," and I was right.

  Finally hit 32 today in northern Wisconsin after months of sustained below average temperatures. Our local elementary school has had indoor recess nearly 50 times this season, which happens when windchill is below zero. Still several of feet of snow on the ground, but March is hisorically quite snowy here, so we aren't out of the woods yet.

  7 years ago i started on a path i had long ago given up on as impossible.

  i met with my elders and told them i could not justify carrying on as a jw.

  i went and got my high school qualifications and my higher education diploma (a levels with distinction) in just 12 months.

  i was in my company vehicle and i spotted some jw's going from door to door.. i circled around the block and pulled over.

  when they passed, i rolled down the .

  window and asked the pleasant looking middle aged couple as they passed, if they were jehovah's .

  this shows the scale of our solar system in a way that is a little more meaningful to our puny minds.

  Yup, this just shows a few light hours. The size of the universe is staggering, beyond human conception. Same goes for atomic scale, which this link also comments on toward the end.
