  hey everyone,.

  just a simple straight forward question on exactly what the process is.

  if a gb member died tomorrow, do the remaining ones choose who gets to be next?.

  the catholic bishop tried to pull a geoffrey jackson by saying he was too ill to travel for his hearing at arc!

  once again the arc foiled religious leaders trying to avoid the truth, this article goes hand in hand with with the recent article on revealnews.org!.

  Our physical bodies help to perpetuate life on this planet by nourishing other living beings here on Earth, particularly soil dwelling organisms if we are buried. If our bodies or ashes fall upon the Earth, then they nourish above ground organisms/species as well.

  Do you still believe in God?

  by FormerlySandL in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i never thought i would admit it, but i don't.

  i might superstitiously have some kind of doubt but digging a bit deeper in my heart i really don't believe in god.

  as a human i could never just sit and watch people be tortured, live years of abuse, suffer from illness and disabilities and all the other awful things people have to endure day after day without doing something about it.

  Do I still believe in God? The simple answer is no.
  

  Gods and Goddesses are human constructs from ancient Bronze and Iron Aged peoples trying to define their worlds.

  Our knowledge has surpassed the requirement to believe in fantasy, mythology, and superstition as truth. I find it interesting that as our knowledge has increased, the instances of God speaking to humans has decreased proportionately, to the point where it is now only relegated to those who suffer from mental or auditory hallucinations.

  THOUGHTS ON UPGRADING TO (Free) WINDOWS 10

  by Terry in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i've been using windows 7 for several years and have had no complaints.. i've tried many browsers and settled on google chrome.

  it has absolutely everything i want or need.. i kept hearing about the free upgrade to windows 10, so i went to youtube and watched endless "reviews" pro and con.. what pushed me over the (microsoft edge) was the fact i could test drive the new operating system.

  for 30 days and go back to windows 7 if i didn't like it!

  Yep, so much for the 'You'll never grow old and never need a career in this system of things' fantasy. This aging is only going to increase. The Baby Boomers' parents are old and the Baby Boomers themselves are aging. My Dad went into a home almost 4 years ago and I will be 53 this year.

  What's a word that describes the way Witnesses behave as a group?

  by paul from cleveland in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i can't recall the word that describes a group that keeps to itself like the witnesses do.

  i thought it was "insular" but i don't think that's the one i'm looking for after reading the definition.

  i remember an elder using the word "clannish" and that has the proper definition but it reminds me of a group of elves.
