curious to see what type of response there is on a topic like this or does their study only seek to confirm their preconceptions and ignore uncomfortable facts?.

I think there are a couple of huge gaping holes...

1) Jesus of Nazareth is the son of God.

2) That there is some sort of original sin that requires a human sacrifice.

Proof the earth can be flat

"our perception of reality has more to do with what is going on in here (our brain) than what's going on out there (in the world).".

is it a dark square or a light square?

I think it's time for a Schrodinger's Cat thread.

The deep things of Jehovah conjure up a mental picture of the manure pile that used to be out back behind our barn.

Im sick of my life

sorry but i really feel like i need to rant right now.

recently my dad was made an elder so my family has been doing a lot more "theocratic" activities lately.

every morning i wake up and put on my itchy dress and stupid makeup and heels and then pretend that i love what i'm doing and that everybody is my friend when in reality i feel horrible and all the other teenage girls at my hall hate me for some reason.

When they start talking crap, in your mind, go to your Happy Place. Or... refute everything they are saying silently in your mind. This is what I used to do. Let them babble on, they like to do that. When they're done, say something inane like 'Hmmm, interesting.' or change the subject or even better "Well, I have to go to the washroom. Excuse me." and walk away.

So Black Wolf, what post-secondary school(s) are you thinking you'd like to attend? Please let us know and list your reasons why this/these particular schools interest you. Keep thinking about the future, keep planning for it.

Evolution a Fact - Agreed but So What?

by LAWHFol in

in many debates between believers and non believers (nb), the nb uses evolution as some sort of proof to support the non existence of god.. i agree that evolution is a fact, however i feel that evolution is proof of some sort of benevolent original cause.. if i were to create an a.i.

, i would program into it the ability to self-refactor and evolve.. i would also randomly inject viruses into the program (evil) where the a.i.

would be forced to stretch its current capabilities & modify it's operating functions in order to get through the random virus, and continue living.. with a steady flow of different viruses, the a.i.

I was always taught to believe that God created everything in 6 days. Of course, I don't believe that. But religious nutbags do.

This is 100% bullshit and Evolution is a big part of proving this statement false, that's why the statement 'Evolution is Fact' is so important.

New here, never baptised (thank god)!

by olongapo joe in

friends

just signed up and wanted to introduce myself.

i had 1 x-mas and 1 birthday before both my parents joined the jw's around 1966 or 67 being 1 year old i don't remember them (the holidays), to this day holidays are nothing to me (thanks jw's).

i never really believed the bible or jw literature.

Heaven

Welcome olongapo joe! I was also never baptized. Neither were my 2 brothers. It's been a rough road but at least our parents didn't shun us kids totally. Do your parents and sibling who are still active JWs still speak to you?

If it's one thing I can recommend to anyone contemplating getting baptized it is this... DO NOT DO IT.

I figure this is the only reason I was able to maintain some sort of relationship with my folks.
