a few weeks ago, these two jovies turned up on my doorstep.
being in a good mood that particular day, i told them that if they could prove that god existed, i'd become a jovie - and i meant every word.. they gave me two documents which they asked me read and told me that they'd be back in a week.
the first was called "was life created?

Also, before you quote your big numbers to impress people who don't know any better, I suggest you read this:

The fact is, god doesn't exist. However, we do. Therefore, whatever the mechanism is that created life, it must have a statistical probability of creating life which is considerably greater than 10 ^ 113, otherwise, we wouldn't be here, would we?

A little perspective on “the number 10^113 is larger than the estimated total number of all the atoms in the visible universe.” 10^113 is, actually, representative of the estimated number of all the atoms in 10000000000000000000000000000000000 typical universes— give or take.
I am not a religtard. Please do not treat me as such. I don't have one degree, I have several - and all in science. I am well aware of the meaning of 10 ^ 13.
I didn't assume you had a mechanism - I asked you what yours was.
What is your point?
for those who still pray, and go to the kingdom hall, when was the last article on prayer?
whats the view now?.
king solomon asked that jehovah hear only foreigners who prayed toward gods temple in jerusalem.

The sky wizard doesn't exist so how/why did you expect it to answer your prayers?
i guess the branch isn't happy with the amount being sent each month since we are way lower than our loan amount.
we now have to another financial survey to see the max amount that can be given.
it is "encouraged" for all to be in attendance and give much forethought and consideration to the amount you can donate each month.
Oh.btw, jovie world is just like any other entity. jovie world can only do what you allow it to do. If you don't want something to happen, you don't need to vote on it. All you need do is not do it.
It ain't rocket science, folks.

Why don't jovies just tell jovie world to stick their financial surveys and demands for money sideways where the sun doesn't shine?
FFS, people, grow a pair.
Religtardism isn't about money, at least, it shouldn't be.
What am I missing here?

Sowhatnow:
I always wondered, what was the original purpose for man to bow and pray to invisible things.
The act of bowing one's head is subservient one. The act of praying is an acknowledgement that there is a sky wizard.
Those in control in jovie land are then able to see who can be manipulated and then, presumably, manipulate them.
Those who don't bow their heads low enough become the subject of further brainwashing by jovie landers.
The question shouldn't be: "are you worthy enough?", it should be "are you stupid enough?"

- and your mechanism is .....?
so man was made by god in his image was he?.
so the human body was intelligently designed was it?.
you are kidding me !!.

As a race, we would be much more successful at trying to bridge the gap between creation and evolution than trying to prove/disprove either one individually.
That would be like putting lipstick on a pig. Pointless.
BTW - your English is superb so I'm guessing that you are Danish or somewhere close. Finnish perhaps?
if we look at all doctrines, we see an overall effort to conserve unity and control.
- assuming most birthdays, if allowed, would probably be oriented to children, then that means 40 celebrations per year.
so all in all, this give a total potential attendance to a birthday of 30 families (120 attendance / 4 family members).

My feeling is that if the jovielanders are attempting, and succeeding, to control people's lives to this extent, then it's long past the time to tell the evil 2@s where they can stick their control shyte.
i can understand why someone who was born of jovie parents would want to leave jovie world.
i can see why someone who had joined jovie world would want to leave.
after all, why would you want to stay in such an evil institution?.

I like the name Jovie World. Yes it's belittling. But so is the made up word "Jehovah".
My apologies, I spelt your name wrongly earlier.
It's not just the name 'jehovah' that they made up. If it was only the name, then there would be no issue. It's what came with it ...
How can Man be so stupid?
