AFTER you die, other people WILL STILL BE ALIVE!
and it will be the same organic life that started ~4 bllion years ago. so, if you want to continue to have, or be a slice of that growing pie, make sure your genes are woven back into the cloth.(mix metaphors) If you are for creation, participate in procreation. pass on life with a passion.

the pimc (physically in, mentally confused) lurker dub.
the guy who reads the watchtower stuff and scratches his head, sure something is amiss but not sure of what’s really happening.. it may also be of some interest to those curious of the nuts and bolts of watchtower’s methods of scripture twisting.. in tonight’s “digging for spiritual gems: (8 min.
"-The Watchtower says, in summary, that Jesus didn’t stop him because there was no congregation yet, the inference being that there was no Organization yet to tell him what he could or couldn’t do-". lms
If wt says said, they are contradicting their past statement on this (nothing new there), because:
According to wt, the transfer of authority from the Jewish system to the Christian system occurred at Pentecost.
The temple scheme was "god's" legit organisation before that; witness Jesus encouraging contributions to it, by the widows.

And in the end, if Jesus again walked the Earth, doing exactly as the first time, they would spit in his face.
Jesus if returning, in most wt congregations, would be disfellowshipped within 3.5 years as an anti-establishment, disrespectful to elders, independent thinking character.

that they were called Christians.
not just called, You can not be called a "Christian" unless you are official anointed, which happened at pentecost, some time after the expelling demons thing. what demons?
yesterday i drove passed a town a couple of hours from my home and saw this kh under construction.
this is the first new design kh i've seen in washington state even though i would think by now another one or two have been built.
maybe not with their financial situation being the way it is.
A fore taste of the paradise in the 1000 year kingdom, (the one that WT is not preaching).
Here is what you get with socialism, state control, kingdom control.
Local congregations used to take pride in their hall, contributing tens of thousands, working on it, lavishly. Now with wt owner ship, this, or something spelt with the same letters.

Yea, wt does not like competition, and would stop it if they could, but Jesus said no! anybody working in the right direction is working in the right direction, directed or not.
wt has to explain that away. plainly.
i'm an atheist as i do not see any evidence for the existance of a god.
i encourage critical thinking in everyone and am ready to debate anyone on whether or not there is a god and what that god might be like.
hmu..
Gaia's balance?
I'm out of this conversation. cofty
sad to see you go at this point. There is the hypothesis that life on Earth keeps things in balance, even fights erosion with roots, protects islands with coral reefs, automatically, without any god, or the goddess Gaia fiddling mystical knobs.
hope to see you again. w (p).

Waton - You are describing a deist god.
A cursory glance at the unnecessary suffering he caused condemns him as a moral monster.
I know what you are saying, culling a herd, or any overpopulation is more inhumane then browsing on overgrowing vegetation, but both are essential to maintaining Gaia's balance.
By classifying the possible originator as a moral monster, you are assigning artificial substance to him/her.
All I am saying look at existence, the works, and leave it at that. I Some aspects of nature seem to be inhumane, but even then, there is often short term automatic natural pain relief build-in, effective up to a point.
