  God in your brain....

  by EntirelyPossible in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  just came across an interesting study.

  during brain scans, when people were asked how they felt about something, the same part of the brain was active as when they were asked how god felt about something.

  when asked how other people felt about something, however, a different part of the brain was at work.. specifically, the portion of the brain that was active when asking people how god felt about things was the portion of the brain associated with self-referential thinking.... people are literally making god up in their own image as they go.

  The Gentile Times Reconsidered (607 B.C.E.) -Part A1 - Jeremiah 25:10-12 Reviewed

  by FaceTheFacts in

  2. beliefs

  during the last three to four months, i have spent a great deal of time sinking my teeth into various critical biblical commentaries and lexicons.

  naturally, after beginning to research "the truth about the truth" one of the most commonplace yet controversial arguments revolve around the "gentile times" doctrine (i.e.

  the application of the seven times of daniel 4 from 607 b.c.e.

  I must just be a worldy person because I love watching tv,movies, drinking wine, dancing and just having fun. I like working and making money so I can spend it on clothes, shoes, or whatever I happen to want to buy. I don't think I am Paradise material. I don't want to follow orders all the time. I like to do my own thing.I like to rule myself.

  I always thought I wanted to live forever in Paradise, and I really don't want to die, but I don't think I ever really thought it through. Since really considering how life would be like living under the leadship of the WTS in Paradise,it would feel more like Hell , I don't think I want to live that way now or forever. But because I don't belive it's going to happen that way for anyone,I guess it's a moot point. It would be so boring and unbearable, I could not stand it.

  it's a beautifully done short film/documentary about robert fitzpatrick shot starting on may 1st, 2011 until the 21st of may.

  wasblind, my daughter does't trust my judgement either. When I gave her some advice about a certain religion, she replied that I had told her the WTS was the "truth" and it turned out to be wrong so she no longer trusted me about religion.

  She was a born-in into the borg. Thank God she never got baptized. Like one of the people in the video said: " No one knows the day or the hour," why do people keep predicting the unknowable!

  cantleave, I hate religion also.

  Why Isn't the USA the Safest Country in the World With All the Guns

  by RubaDub in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  we have 9 guns for every 10 people in this country.

  since more guns = better protection, i keep asking myself why there is so much gun violence here ???.

  i don't see such violence in canada, australia, europe, japan and other so-called "advanced" countries.. what is wrong with us here.

  One of the problems, imo, with the mind of Americans is all the violence that young (and old) people are exposed to on tv and video games.When people

  are constantly exposed to violence it becomes accepted. As someone said, OJ did not need a gun to kill his wife ( yes I know he was found

  innocent).People can use any means to kill other than a gun, they can use a car bomb or anything else they can think to use. I have always believed

  it is the violence that we have grown to accept that makes people capable of doing such violence toward others.

  I agree with what Hortensia said but I would add to live eveyday as if it was your last and be a good friend to others.This life may be all we have, we have to make the most of it.

  Unstopable, so sorry you are having to deal with the shunning. After 30 years of being shunned, it still upsets me but I have learned to deal with it. Counseling or seeing a doctor may not be a bad idea. I am not familiar with your personal story but I hope you have some support. As aguest stated, deep breaths can calm you down. I used to talk to myself about what I was experiencing and why; It helped me to understand and deal with the shunning. Everyone here is here to help you deal with your situation. We've been there and some are still there. The borg really knows how to bring people pain.
