  You ask “Whatbooks on evolution have you read, other than JW publications?”

  Thetone behind this question shows that you are very confident about truthfulnessof Evolution Theory. Your confidence reminds me about same sort of confidencesome great people displayed in 1923.

  In thatyear, nine of the wealthiest people in the world met at Chicago's EdgewaterBeach Hotel. Their combined wealth, it is estimated, exceeded the wealthof the Government of the United States at that time.
  
  These men certainly knew how to make a living and accumulate wealth.
  Attending the meeting were the following men:
  
  1. The President of the largest steel company,
  2. The President of the largest utility company,
  3. The President of the largest gas company,
  4. The President of the New York Stock Exchange,
  5. The President of the Bank of International Settlements,
  6. The greatest wheat speculator,
  7. The greatest bear on Wall Street,
  8. A member of President Harding's cabinet.
  9. The head of the World's greatest monopoly
  
  That's a pretty impressive line-up of people by anyone's yardstick.
  Yet, let’s examine what happened to them 25 years later:
  
  1. The President of the then largest steel company (Bethlehem Steel Corp),Charles M Schwab lived on borrowed capital for five years before hedied bankrupt.
  2. The President of the largest utility company, Samuel Insull, diedpenniless!
  3. The President of the then largest gas company, Howard Hubson, wentinsane.
  4. The then President of the New York Stock Exchange, RichardWhitney, was sent to jail.
  5. The President of the Bank of International Settlement, Leon Fraser,committed suicide.
  6. One of the greatest commodity traders (Wheat Speculator), ArthurCutten, died insolvent.
  7. The greatest “bear” on Wall Street, Jesse Livermore committedsuicide.
  8. The member of the US President’s Cabinet (the member of PresidentHarding's cabinet), Albert Fall, was pardoned from jail just to be able togo home and die in peace.
  9. The President of the then world’s greatest monopoly, Ivar Krueger,committed suicide.
  
  See how soon they all changed their faith in money—how disillusioned they were!If this can happen to faith in mammon, one can imagine what will happen tofaith in Evolution theory after some time. You will all look for God, and willthrow away your books on Evolution.

  nicolaou, The day will come when you also would look for God. That day you don't have to feel sorry for calling another one willfully ignorant, because everyone at that time will be equal--all will be in desperate need of God--helplessness and desperation will make every one equal.

  mans requirements are limited which can be satisfied with a little and tension-free endeavor..

  however man attempts not only to collect but also to grab and amass everything to the excess.

  somehow he feels that he can be happy only when he has in abundance whereas others have nothingwhich seems to be the thread that runs throughout the history.

  That’s different way of saying you don’t have an answer.

  You cannot distract the subject by harping on the mistakes JWs have committed in the supplementary teachings which is natural for any human handling.

  That is true. But no one stands so powerfully for this Bible message as the JWs do. Hence effect-wise there is nothing wrong in referring it as JW message.

  You ask: “what message your speaking of?”

  It is nothing but Daniel 2:44 which JWs have never changed, and will not change. The present world situation where all Governments are reeling under terrorism, the imminent economic depression greater than that of the 30’s, sea-level rise ….all would make even you people call out to God in the near future seeking His help. Thus JWs message of Kingdom hope is becoming more and more relevant. The only problem you find is that JWs sounded this message a bit early—but it only adds to their glory. All their mistakes will be washed away when people will turn to God seeking for solution to mankind’s problem. Already one American President long back cried: ‘Send out one Elijah or Ezekiel to find a solution to our problem.’ Such a cry from all corners of the world will become louder and louder in the coming years.

  Jehovah motivates me, I just do it. For me Jehovah is more real than the air I breathe in.

  You say: “I just know that god doesn't exist.”

  Your evolution theory cannot explain how something immaterial evolved from something material. For example, consciousness is altogether a different kind of existence to which laws of chemistry and physics do not apply. Brain definitely controls the body and its thousand activities, but it is not self-sufficient. Brain is controlled by the mind for every detail of its functioning. More elaborately, we can say that the brain is the CPU of the body computer and the CPU functions as per its inputs. Then body is the hardware, brain is the system software and mind is the application software. Where from these inputs come? All the inputs i.e. life events come through the mind which processes the momentary incidents and places the same before the intellect. Intellect is the decision making faculty. Both the thought process and decision are being transferred to the brain through quantum waves of the momentary photon fields. Neuro-scientist Penfield’s experiments show that cerebral cortex is not the seat of the mind. A man can live and have consciousness even if he does not have two cerebral hemispheres. Movement of hands does not produce any conscious effects, it is just a mechanical action signalled through motor neurones.

  Consciousness and thoughts do not occupy any space and hence are not destroyed by time. The more we think of a concept the more it gets set. Thoughts, ideas, concepts, experience and consciousness are the manifestations of a metaphysical form of energy. The locus of the memories was in between the upper brainstem and the hypothalamus which indicates the presence of an entity there which is nothing but an immaterial entity (something like an image of God in qualities). It shows that mind, consciousness or soul is located in the hypothalamus, near the upper part of the brainstem which has reticular activating system (RAS). The evidence indicates that the RAS is only an instrument to receive the external stimuli and send the same to the brain in the form of coded electrical impulses and the soul is that conscious entity which takes cognizance of the impulses. The Soul is a non-physical entity which cannot be perceived directly at any of the wave-lengths in the electromagnetic spectrum. Physical parameters such as mass, volume, time, velocity and weight cannot be applied to the soul directly. It has consciousness as its inherent quality. It manifests in various forms such as thoughts, belief, imagination, understanding, will, remembering, learning, intentions, emotions, judgement, intuition.…. etc. Chiefly it performs through the mind, intellect, memory and emotions. Imprints or deep-rooted memories or tendencies from its subconscious and supra conscious mind are continuously influencing the thoughts, decisions and emotions. Personality traits is the store house or repertory of thoughts, beliefs, ideas, emotions, desire, will, memory etc. which are actually the stock of different types of energies both positive and negative. Metaphysical energy, manifesting as thoughts, forms a quantum field which has no mass. At micro level, it influences the related nuclei in the hypothalamus which trigger the pituitary or which set up neuro-electrical impulses or photon fields at various organs and tissues. Life goes beyond biochemical and biophysical processes. The state of super consciousness gives a person high ideals, noble goals and positive ideas. This super consciousness isthe product of God, not the product of evolution.

  God’s role is not to ensure failure of the principle of cause and consequences. His role begins when mankind feels that they cannot go forward any more. That time is fast approaching!

  Even if they are wrong in some areas (which are natural when humans handle any situation), they are absolutely right in their Kingdom Message—the very cause they stand for.
