  If this goes to trial, they will just claim that their interpretation of gods laws are above mans.

  If prosecuted / found guilty , it will be seen by most J.Ws as a sign of the times.

  The G.Bs only concern will be monetary, not the victims.

  I hope they throw the 'book' at them. HYPOCRITS !!!

  There Is No Key To Happiness!

  by abiather in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  religions make it appear that there is a key to happiness and give the impression that they have the key, and enjoy people always look to them for happiness!.

  interestingly, jesus meant there is no key to happiness, but it is the very nature of all human beings.

  (luke 17:21) people like jws did not even translate this verse properly.

  Abiather, i can say no more than what has been said to show how absurd your assumptions /beliefs are.

  Always know and TRY to accept as an individual you can relate and understand your existence without conceding your intelligence to those with an agenda.

  Work towards standing on your own two feet, through the crutches away, go on you CAN do it.

  Best wishes to you.

  Any explanation from the WT as to why Adam and Eve did not have sex before they sinned? (and other Genesis stumpers)

  by BU2B in

  2. bible

  (disclaimer- i know this is all fairy tales but i like to pick genesis apart since many millions still take it literally and is the foundtion of jw doctrine.

  without genesis being real, the whole thing collpses).

  i was just reading through genesis yesterday, and it really hit me.

  The more we read these fantastically incredibly naive mythological stories, the sadder we are that our families/friends who are JWs can believe this ..NON...SENSE , The mind is

  truly a strange thing that it can be manipulated in such a way.

  Religion VS Atheism and the decline of ethics and morals

  by EndofMysteries in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  being back in college after leaving the borg, one of the required classes for a degree at my college is ethics.

  after learning a few things, i am curious where morality and ethics is heading for the future of humanity.

  i wish i could find the source again, but several weeks ago i recalled reading a transcript of a very old document that talked about when christianity was being spread in europe, it brought civility and community.

  Back in the day there was much less media instant coverage of atrocities, scandal, negative behaviour. But boy was it around .You can look back with rose colored spex but there was a lot of nasty stuff going on.

  If you are saying people were moralistic because they were religious, it doesn't say much for them as people. What about their own moral compass?

  It's always been my belief , treat others as you would like to be treated that doesn't need religion.

  Education for all especially the young is the key. Show them how mankind benefits by tolerance, doing good.

  Show them by example and historical reference what benefits their lives and the type of behaviour which is negative.

  No god or religion is required.

  Heart vs Mind - What Makes Us Human

  http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b01kpvj1/heart_vs_mind_what_makes_us_human/.

  i was watching this bbc iplayer programme on heart and mind, (which is well worth a watch if you can access where you are).

  and despite how the programme starts out, it develops into a deep and touching discussion of what makes us human.. i personally was left with the feeling at odds with what i believed as a witness.

  Atheism and Theism are only partly right!

  by abiather in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  today we know that matter and energy are interchangeable, hence they are there always in either form, they are eternal, hence requires no creator.

  hence atheism is right in rejecting a creator, but failed in providing any motivation for people to do good.

  religions, in their effort to provide a motivating factor for humans to do good, introduced creation stories and other myths; hence they too are right (as far as their intention is concerned), yet failed in producing any worthy resultsworld was steadily moving from bad to worse and from worse to worst!.

  Ballistic, you are moving into the realms of unrealistic!.The worm is not human!! And chopping of bits of the brain to leave a ceratain part of the brain? Now with respect you are bordering on the ridiculous .you will eventually come to the conclusion, we are human because of our brain no matter how many permutations (no pun intended)you come up with .Best wishes to you.
