  TV and the Media

  by punkofnice in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i look at tv and the media as all fiction.. i wonder if the media is now just a tool to cauterise the brain and zombify us?

  i'm sure the uk's bbc does.

  it seems to be a tool to brainwash people to buy into latest agenda or trend that must be followed.....or you're an outcast like a disfellowshipped one.

  Do you think the Watchtower is right about about eternal punishment of the wicked?

  by Vanderhoven7 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  atheists believe death is the end of personal existence.

  but for those who believe there is life after death, what do you think is the nature of final punishment?

  in other words do you agree with the atheists and the watchtower society or is there eternal ongoing conscious punishment awaiting the wicked.

  is wt even right about the definition who is wicked? you can be a adulterous war criminal responsible for ~ 100 000 death and still be a hero, slated for a major role in the future wt government .

  The fact that a quantity of energy has at some point allowed an organism to be conscious does not impart any property of that consciousness to the energy Jeffro,

  right. perhaps the energy that was radiated away from the living organism, brain waves even, are on their way into the future, but that does not mean they carry the individual's personality or consciousness, A super microscoping telescope could see everything in some far away place, all that is happening here now, but that are just pretty pictures of you, not a living active you in the future time and place.

  energy? only a fuzzy warm glow

  My Prediction Regarding New Space Telescope That Will See Back to 100 Million Years From the Big Bang

  by Sea Breeze in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  a new space telescope launched a few days age that will supposedly be able to see to within 100 million years of the big bang.

  wow... only 100 million years from the big bang.

  that is pretty early given the 12 billion year age of the universe assigned by scholars who adhere to naturalism.

  what we can extrapolate back into the past is that .

  the matter in the universe was made from energy, and energy can not be created or destroyed, just converted. Matter had a beginning and "Big Bang" was just a term coined by Hoyle as a joke . Even as JW looks at older light of a certain wavelength, all it will show is, how it happened. It could have been done on autopilot no on hand fiddling, micro management necessary. So, no matter who did it how, a fantastic feat.

  JW (the religion) even claiming credit for Jw (the instrument view)? but

  It would not be wrong to think it was your father, starting life with mother was a great feat too, and feasible.

  Even the everlasting wt paradise will succumb to the final heat wave, when the sun expands to 1 AU size, engulfing the earth a merre 4 billion years from now, an age, that does not even register on the eternity scale.

  Elon Musk's starships to the rescue, for Mars, and more distant, cooler destinations.

  Send Elon some wt tracts please. make him a publisher, Armageddon survivor.

  JW "new light" immediately reversed/contradicted

  2. bible

  september 2022 study watchtower - par.

  14 p. 18 - "after all, no one will be allowed to practice vile things in the new world.

  the unrighteous must have practiced these vile things before their death.

  " bad conduct will not be allowed in the new system" could also mean that those really rotten apples, coming back, and having the recreated bad traits ( Poor J and j for having all that crap to memorize) , will in short order depart again.

  If the millenium is an (ongoing) judgement day, judgement could be ongoing, as your resurrection court date comes up.

  not predicting, just suggesting alternative talking snake plot.

  predictions create predicaments wt should know.

  2. beliefs

  so did anyone else have the misfortune of listening to sanderson’s talk corresponding to the saturday morning convention program?.

  full title is “young people - choose a path that leads to peace!”.

  the basic idea is, hey you teenagers, you ought to be pioneers, wt construction workers, and/or bethelites.. i tried to put myself back in time an embarrassing number of decades…if i were in this talk’s target audience, how would i respond?.

  There another, now again religiously tightly controlled country, that wants to bring its young back down to the lowest level. telling, but not a record to be proud of.

  Note, that wt has even dispensed with it's weakly sessions of their "Kingdom Ministry School" It was weak and weekly, nowe its zilch. sales training only.

  the worst part of my experience of getting rid of the shackles of wt is not the shunning.

  Joao, remind the good ladies in your life, that, as in today's daily text 1, II , 3 (1 Cor 11, 3) wt states, that your are the head of the family, no matter what your religious wt status. Its basic truth, like 1,2,3.

  use that fact gently.

  That is soo true! If they were resurrected, then why did they have to die again? St. Laliberte'

  not only that, but it not seem to make any difference whether the ransom was paid and delivered.

  If there is an automatic afterlife, why would this most important information, interview style, not have been provided after all the recorded bible resurrections.? After all, the story has snakes and asses talk, why would the newly minted "children of the resurrection" be mum?

  Vivre la pensee libre, vivre Laliberte'

  Can a Bank "legally" steal your $$   ??

  by Terry in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  when a bank fails, it is legal for that lending institution to perform a "bail-in" (rather than a bailout) for itself.. .

  the first sign or signal to the depositor is a red flag moment easy to recognize.

  the atm is "out of cash"..

  one way to protect your deposits is to have them in government secured accounts. (but with next to no interest returns in those vehicles, you're losing 10% in value per year, due to inflation).
