  Why Is A Tiny Ant More Complex Than A Religious Persons God?

  by JamesThomas in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  we never hear of people speaking in the name of ants.

  never do people say this or that is what an ant wants, or this is what will make an ant like you, or hate you, etc.

  we just don't know how ants think.

  Animal Magic

  by JamesThomas in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  in the past there were horses here.. .

  i could gently lay my head up against them and breath in the delicious unique fragrance that subtly drifts from a horse.. as the warm pleasant sent entered me it immediately calmed my nerves, stopped my mind, and carried me along into a sense of unmoving unity.

  there was no longer a me and a horse; there was just pure presence/life/being.. no words can explain.. .

  A Pool Into Forever

  by JamesThomas in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  many years ago, a moment magically unfolded.. .

  in my arms, silent and warm, lay my baby son who only a few weeks earlier curled in his mommies tummy.. cradled lovingly, and comfortably in my arms, an innate wisdom within him, ignored all the menagerie of colors and stimulus around, and focused instead, directly into my eyes.. the gaze entered into my soul.

  we melded.

  Do We Exist As a Material Person In a Material World?

  by JamesThomas in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this may at first seem a strange question.

  but it may be an extremely important question to ask.. .

  let's start with the weird fact that only one in ten, or rather 10% of the cells in/on our physical body -- is what we would call "us".

  by JamesThomas in

  1. jw

  understandably, there are times when a caring jw family member may question us as to why we have turned away from jehovah.

  why do we no longer love and follow him as they still do.

  here is an honest and sincere way that i answer.

  Is It Love? Or is it Selfishness?

  by JamesThomas in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  as jehovah's witnesses, we are programmed to believe that what we do is out of love.

  love for god, our family and neighbors.

  this sounds good and it feels good.

  Search For Truth

  by JamesThomas in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  there is no thing, no entity, no deity, no god that is the foundation of infinite existence.. there is what is bigger still, and this the mind can not even begin to comprehend.. we can not speak truth.

  we can not think truth.

  we can only be it.
