everything in the universe seems to be self organizing restrained by the existing laws, why would that be different at the Big Baginning?

by Sea Breeze ina 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.

It is one thing to publish research results on a concrete entity, the immense universe, another to keep picking away at a a collection of books , covering a few thousand years in an area of a few thousand a square

by BoogerMan inhow many jw's are aware they have "priests?".
w02 5/1 p. 16 par.
9 jehovah hates the course of treachery - "comparably, for more than a century now, the anointed brothers of christ, those with the heavenly hope, have served as “a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to god.”.

wt leaders believe they are the mediators of the new covenant to the "sheep" now and for a 1000+ years. A priestly function they teach. Appointed in 1919, still teaching the same slogan: " (8) Millions now living will never die".

If not the WT/JW relgion where else are 'we' to go? Why not atheistic/scientific philosophical naturalism?
by Disillusioned JW insometimes jws wonder if the wt/jw is not the truth, 'then where else are we to go?

inattentive of what religion says.
Ddjw. at their meetings the wt ladies have already achieved that, having most of the microphone time, in defiance of the "lords command" in I Cor. 14. "silent in the congregations of the hole ones"
If the Iranian revolution spreads to Iraq, the location of Babylon, and then beyond, that would be the fall of male dominated and centered religion.
Even "Jehavah" beeing able to become whatever whover he wants could comply, becoming a parent, more humane.
I always balked at the wt's 'man's face' being the picture of love, to me it is my beautiful ladie's faces.

When you are hit with excruciating pain of a possible end of life situation, what does wt offer? that you are in a possible replay of the Job saga.? The science outlook: Nature taking its course, the invaders are finally winning, recycling has started.
in both cases, small comfort. reach for the morphine. provided by:

Avoiding Temptation As a Young Elder
by TMS init was the summer of '72.
i was 24 but had been the presiding overseer or congregation servant of a small congregation in the county seat of an arkansas county for about 3 years.. my regular pioneer wife of nearly four years was big and pregnant, with our attempts at birth control unsuccessful.. one of my wife's several bible studies was with a young woman named brenda whom my wife had encountered in door to door work.. brenda had two young children she could barely handle and was married to a very countryfied arkie named henry who worked as a chicken catcher, one of the most difficult jobs at the local chicken plant.. brenda eventually revealed that she'd been raised as a jw, but was never baptized, having left home to marry henry at age 14. she spoke of her family in texas, mentioning her mother and two older sisters, all jws she said.. one morning, just before the meeting for field service, we noticed a small car in kingdom hall parking lot.
my wife and i were parked to one side of the hall in our aluminum nashua house trailer.. two young women got out of the car and soon joined us for the meeting for service, identifying themselves as brenda's sisters from texas.. the two girls, ages 17 and 20, were distractingly beautiful, with the eldest decked out like a magnificent southern belle including hat and heels, her high-end clothing accentuating her very obvious curves.. with no one else showing up for field service, it ended up just the four of us in the car group with the two texas girls in the back seat.. starting our time at a not-at-home, the 20 year old asked if she could accompany me to "hear my presentation.

There is definitely a sexual component to the wt religion. females will have skewed preferences based on status in the hierarchy (hormones at work). good news for otherwise beta to omega males.

by Vanderhoven7 inwhy do you think many jws are hostile and rude?
or is that just my imagination?.
mark jones writes: the vast majority of jehovah’s witnesses are nice people.

some jws realize that the sheep are supposed to be meek and put up and shut up, victims will be blamed by the wt writers, hounders, so these jw non-christians think they can get away with being rude, even exploitive, and enjoy that freedom to the hilt.
you are also not supposed to sue your brother or sister, so that perceived immunity extends into the court system, the police in case of serious wrongdoing done to the docile.

"making known the name" does not mean plastering it all over the landscape, and using it at as an adjective, rather , since Jesus never used the name, but "Father", even "Eli" instead, it must mean explaining, making manifest, all what the name stands for.

Are you driven by vengeance or Payback?
by Fisherman in“there is nothing more ironic and curious than a trapper being caught in his own trap or a plot backfiring.
ironic justice is the best revenge.” the inventor of the brazen bull, one if the most heinous torture devices in history was tricked to go inside of it and died of the torture he created.. probably one of the greatest movies ever made features revenge as its theme: once upon a time in the west.
sadly in this movie the main character doesn’t rely on ironic justice happening by god or chance.
