Well, they're right! Lots of people think that evolution explains how life began because they haven't read the definition of "evolution", they're called Witnesses! The "others who aren't so sure" are the ones who could have sworn that there was another concept for that called "a... bio... something".

Well said, Terry. Your mention of how we were like actors playing the role of a lifetime motivated me to start a new topic about something that was kicking around in my brain this morning.
Just one question: if Witnesses are like professional "hypocrites", in the sense of being actors on a stage in front of the world, does that mean that the baptism pledge they make is a Hypocritic Oath?

Mugger: "Your self-importance or your life!" JW: "Hold on, I'm thinking..."
by Apognophos injust a short thought that i wanted to put out there.
it's human nature.
the religion gave us a chance to believe that the world revolved around our little lives -- our every thought and action was of cosmic significance in the battle between good and evil.

Just a short thought that I wanted to put out there. We all want to be "somebody". It's human nature. The religion gave us a chance to believe that the world revolved around our little lives -- our every thought and action was of cosmic significance in the battle between good and evil. Perhaps you know some truly die-hard Witnesses. Are they self-important over their identity as one of Jehovah's Witnesses? Would you say it is a major attribute of their personality, something that shows regularly in their behavior?
I think some JWs are unable to see TTATT simply because they cannot overcome the fear that, if the religion isn't true, they would suddenly become a nobody in the world. And so, sadly, they sacrifice their lives (usually figuratively, sometimes literally) in order to keep this feeling intact. Being a devoted JW doesn't tend to leave time for self-improvement, career advancement, saving up for retirement, etc. They've traded whatever chance they had to become someone in an uncertain world for the certainty that they matter in an imaginary world.

Yes, ADD, I got your reference, and I was adding on a reference to the prophetic fulfillment of the train distance between the Society's buildings in PA and NYC in The Finished Mystery. So yes, by comparison to that, one can make a much more convincing case for the 70 miles from Pittsburgh being significant

Killing In Self Defense
by Cold Steel inthe man was moving around in the darkness of j's home with a gun.
he was certain j. and his family weren't there, but he was wrong.
when a door suddenly opened and a dark figure fumbled for the hallway light, he had only a moment to act.
