  just caught this short video of christopher hitchens in a debate involving religious theology and i thought.

  how close it came to the jw theology and its own inherent sociological and psychological damage that it causes.

  Special talk earthquakes increasing really?

  by tootired2care in

  i had to sit though the the special talk yesterday "is it later than you think", the brother a good deal of time making the case that major earthquakes are on the rise, and how i should believe it is "later than i think" based on that fact.

  i took a bit of time to research this today, and sure enough they are not.

  the link below has a chart of major earthquakes since the mid nineties, and it clearly shows they are random and all over the place.

  Fear mongering by using only selective information is one of the devious tactics to draw attention to the WTS. own published works

  and instill a frame work of fear, to construct a semblance of power and control over people .

  To the misfortune of the public it worked as planned and as it was deliberately intended .

  Earthquakes have not been increasing since 1914, although due to human population growth spanning the globe,

  when Earthquakes do occur there is a higher amount of devastation involving humans.

  Just a side note, the ancients of biblical times thought earthquakes were as result of gods expressing their anger upon and

  toward the many various civilizations, not to mention torrential storms, lighting and devastating floods.

  Some religious teachings involve the forgiveness of a individual's expressed sins, how is that supportive toward a healthy sociological

  inter-personal relationships, from a psychological viewpoint ?

  EVERYONE IS AN ATHEIST

  by nicolaou in

  it's the starting point for each of our journeys even if many move away from it.

  some return while others never do though even these remain 'atheists' towards a strangers god.

  eventually we end up in the same absence of belief and knowledge as when we began.. the journey is what makes a life and if yours contains a belief in god that's fine - so long as it causes no harm.

  For the longest time throughout human history people were praying to their deities and waited for what was to happen

  and to faithfully accept the incoming result, good or bad.

  Their almighty god was in control of all things involving them and the world in which they lived in.

  The writings of the bible, as a reference, proves this in regarding the ancient Hebrew civilization.

  To the folly of those ancient people the next civilization close by were doing the exactly same thing as the Hebrews were doing.

  Ironically 3000 years forward people are still waiting and praying toward their chosen god (Yahweh), (Allah) to do or exercise his Divine will.

  Fortunately most of humanity today has realized that mankind has to take responsibility upon himself to make or create positive actions to better the

  human experience for all concerned. So far this initiative has proved its own valuable worth, better and above than waiting on the gods.

  because there is no way to tell that they are actually choosing it because of mind control.

  I follow you on that Sab. good morning

  But what religion doesn't structure itself in how its presented to the public, involving mind control to various degrees ?

  Its underlining agenda is to mind control, is it not ?

  Isn't that a part of the danger of religious teachings ?

  Something about the end of the current system of things they can't pony up to...

  by okage in

  1975 was approaching and for years the society demanded the belief that god instructed these men of bethel to declare 1975 as the date for the end.

  they talked about it in conventions.

  they supported it in many of their publications.

  Religion + corruption = money

  This equation has existed within the WTS. publishing house from its very foundational beginning.

  Presented of course toward the public as wholesome virtuous intent, which contains both its pretentiousness and disingenuous.

  Speaking in terms of human psychology, do these structured theological teachings, such as the JW teachings for example help

  in improving the mental health state of its adherents ?

  Be rest assured that human psychology was not a known concept when most of these religious teachings had their beginning foundational roots.

  Would you at least agree Tec that the many religious beliefs around the world have created walls of divisiveness within humanity

  at times inciting wars, hatred and prejudice between these religious identities ?
