Do you believe in god?

by freakyAL in

i used to be a staunch believer in god.

maybe its technology and science advancing so much thats got me doubting idk.

do you believe in god?

OC: ... I have given birth to two children...

Sincere congratulations. That was one way to pass along your contribution to the enterprise of life, ongoing, and your other good deeds.

Cruel as the African situation appears to us, having more offspring is the wrong reaction to recurring crisis, natural or man made. The other, migration, is in full swing, to the detriment of the host populations.

re Tsunamis. There is a news items on BBC, that on Sumatra, there were Tsunami victims 2000 years ago. Warnings are not enough?

OC, it is time for you to go to bed, in your time zone, and hoprfully, that is not going to add to the overpopulation problem of the planet.

quick question: When a governing body member dies, what happens to their spouse?

by Deltawave in

what happens to the wife after their gb husband dies..

waton

If the GB member is over 46 years old, they are potentially overlappers, and as such upon their death are betrothed to The"Lamb", a marriage that is to be consumed not later than ~ 2075+. so with a husband going afield like that, the lucky widow, if not a partaker too, might seek consolation in the more down to earth field.(risking the wrath of a now powerful jealous ex-husband?)

I know of some slim pickings. weightwise.

@venus, Yeah, we do not have to wait for another " God is Dead" announcement to see, feel and hear, smell, taste his will.

Religion is a human invention, a small point where the bible is right, in it, Abel found a way to get rid of the carrion, that even his pet lion would not eat,

A non communicating god [creator] is useless? well, it is like a lost parent, all the heavy lifting, your making, is done, thank you or not. and:

Often there are surprises when silent and distant parents have their will read.

What if (Jesus worshipped Satan, even by accident)

by pleaseresearch in

the temptation of jesus.

8again, the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory.

9“all this i will give you, he said, “if you will fall down and worship me.”.

waton

Jesus would have validated the flat Earth theory, because only on such a large disk could you have seen "all the kingdoms of the world" from a high enough mountain.

JW Broadcasting: Russian Convention Travel Report w/Mark Sanderson

by pale.emperor in

https://tv.jw.org/#en/mediaitems/latestvideos/pub-jwb_201709_12_video.

a few things about this video:.

it's very nice that they managed to host a convention for the russian brothers and sisters, and that they all got fed.

waton

One way ticket to Russia? of course. The local branch (brothers) are expected to fund the trip, of course.

Travel on whim? overheard a conversation in Columbia Heights once, that showed with what nonchalance such expensive travel plans are decided.

Learning To Believe Again

by The_Seeker in

i was raised a jw and left the organization when i was 18 years old.

many thought i left because i wanted to live a life full of drugs, sex, and rock and roll, which was not true at all.

i left because i realized that these people had no idea what they were talking about and were simply parroting what the, " society " , told them to believe.

waton

great, and welcome. what are your latest insights? Beliefs. if any, you want to believe again please?

The wonder of scientific research

by amicabl in

this has possibly been brought up before however here goes.. constant reference is made by many posters to scientific research as being the only way to prove something factual that would otherwise have to be taken on faith.

there actually seems to be "faith" in scientific findings.. my experience over many years is that most scientific research is fake.

nothing oftencomes of the big announcements made to raise more money.. money, prestige, pride, human error, suppositions etc., are rife amongst the scientific community.. i realise that there have been many advances over hundreds of years but humankind is in a mess, although very different to even a century ago.. the medical profession now has vaccinations for everything, antiviral drugs etc.

waton

amicable, well said. It is really sad to see potentially attractive people becoming obese never living the lives they could have had, and the responsibility has to laid at the door of those that desire and provide easy profitable food production via chemicals.

Even the population pressures we see developing are the result of curing the world's disease and nutrition problems (done for benevolent motives), without also instituting reproduction control, that can be done. look at the one child policies.
