by White Dove in

" well, i've been thinking of how the little insect seems to have little brain power (low iq or something) but the larger the animal or life form, the smarter it gets.

babies grow this way.

as each cell is doubled, it gets smarter and its body grows.

Loss of privileges when family member is disfellowshipped
by Agnes in
1. jw
2. friends
if a family member is disfellowshipped (for example a son or a daughter) what sort of "privileges" would a family lose?

would they still be permitted to have bible studies in their home, go out in field service and would they be marked as bad association?

A Theory of Nothingness

light - we can't see it or touch it; we can't hear it, taste it or smell it.

parts of light appear as different colours - all electomagnetic forces yet still the colour is mere perception, dependent on whether the light rays are absorbed or reflected by the object they fall upon.

white may indeed be black and black be white - perceptions!

Questioning the question of God's existence
by DT in
1. jw
2. friends
i don't know if there is a god.

if i knew for certain, this piece of knowledge could serve as a foundation for my world view.

some people are confident they know the answer (both theists and atheists) and their world view is based on this faith.

Mindfulness, mindlessness, even-mindedness...
by nvrgnbk in
1. jw
2. friends
anyone who has ever sat at home, healthy, well fed, surrounded by loved ones, and suffering from intense anxiety will readily agree that peace of mind is the necessary condition for happiness.

but how can we possibly learn to have peace of mind when the mind is by nature restless, projecting its wants and fears endlessly into the past and the future?.

think about your favorite activity for a moment.
