I think it should be taught as part of a subject that mixes world religious with scientific reasoning. Neither should be taught as FACT, and i think the age of the pupils should be taken into account.

I may not be able to hold the status quo for longer!
by ILoveTTATT intoday my mom called me three times at work to tell me how "worried" she was about my spirituality.. i so wanted to tell her some ttatt but just said, "mom, i am fine spiritually.
if i am ever in trouble spiritually, i will tell you.
meanwhile, i would really appreciate it if you left my relationship with god a private matter.".

TTATT You say you know this is the ' only life', use it , enjoy it. Your advice to others is admirable, but shouldn't you apply this reasoning to youself first? Better to face it earlier than later. I hope you have freinds or even other family members around you who can help and support you. Always remember most if not all on this forum are with you.

NASA Identifies The Hand of God
by Perry init even has what looks like blood flowing from a palm wound.
article.
world-renowned astrophysicist robert jastrow, founding director of nasas goddard institute for space studies, explains the fear of faith many of todays scientists experience.. there is a kind of religion in science, it is the religion of a person who believes there is order and harmony in the universe, and every effect must have its cause; [but] there is no first cause.

HEY Perry when you say "god said let there be light", don't you mean;. whoever was the author of the book of genesis said god said?.. You surely can't trust an imperfect man to get it right . After all didn't a supposedly perfect man get it all wrong even although he had everything going for him, perfect wife, perfect garden, plenty food,dominion over everything. You cant trust a perfect man, so why think an imperfect mans words[genesis] are reliable. If you say because of faith IMO you are insulting your intelligence. peace be with you.

Hi eden one. by all means keep a low profile, but how low? Crawl on your belly... or...stand up proud and tall? your choice. Which decision will earn you the most respect fromyour wife/family not to mention your own dignity . Remember you have yourself to live with for the rest of your life,how important is that to you? All the best to you for the future.

According to my brother an elder his take on it was that although the U.N. can be seen as the image of the wild beast it is also a part of the wild beast as it foms a significant part of the worlds political powers which it definately does so there really is no ambiguity about it the U.N. can definately be described as part of the wild beast .its all bullshit to me anyway Just my 2cts worth

Seven Headed Wild Beast officially no longer represents UN?
by donuthole inaccording to a new "bible questions answered": " the wild beast with seven heads introduced at revelation 13:1 represents the worldwide political system.".
i know that they have quietly been backing away from the un identification for awhile.
is this feature on jw.org a new official teaching, or just a spin for the sake of the public?.

There can be no more "world wide political system" than the united nations. The clue is in the name, they can't really recant on that or; can they???

lovely grub .I recommend STORNOWAY black pudding. By the way my sis who is jw just about freaks if i eat some in her company [outside cafe]. I say its only food probably from the same animal as your sausage which will contain a certain amount of blood. She reckons i am disrespecting her . I always just say "i am not encouraging you to eat it" LOL.

OH yes they did mention the U.N. by name and illustration in their earlier literature as or at least, part of the wild beast. Anyhow how hypocritical of the j dubs if they determine this investigation by the U.N. into child abuse concerning the catholic church ie [handling of] as the wild beast U.N. turning on the harlot christendom instead of seeing it as it actually is PROTECTION of innocent children. Of course we all know the jw society's record on that!!! HYPOCRITES!!!!!

How was Adam Perfect? He sinned....Duh
by DS211 inwell an elder brought this up with me and said he didnt understand how adam sinned if he was perfect.
i said i dont see how he couldve sin ed if he was perfect....but he had free will to choose.
i then told him that i thought if god wanted us to obey him the worst thing he could do was create us to have free will.....a side thought i had was:.

Hi all ,just a thought , if Satan put a doubt in eves mind who at that time was"perfect "ie is without sin, then who put the doubt in Satan's mind or conciousness if you like after all wasn't he created as a perfect angel? Seems to me it could only have been his creator . Does that not create a circle of thought which can't be squared? Just a thought!!
