though my colleague had requested for one week extension of her leave as her typhoid was becoming more stubborn, she came to work after two days.
when asked what miracle took place, she had this to say: your wording seems to be correct.
you would rememberi contracted typhoid same time last year.
Compare these and see what conclusion you can arrive at!

Perry,
Many of the atheists are secretly believing in the existence of God and soul.
i am sure this has been discussed before.
this is kind of a continuation on of my previous post.
we have just recently lost a close family member.
This is what a departed soul wrote to his mother overwhelmed in sadness:
“Time is something the earth gave a name...to mark its passing as it came. Though really it does not exist...may you come to terms with this. Past is now as the present unfolds and future begins as though it were told. Creation has no beginning or end… all is happening at once around the bend. Forward or backward a circle is made, forever revolving this earthly charade. Imagine a circle spinning in air….. the essence of life is what is in there. The mind of a human holds all that is known and those that succeed the answers are shown. Birth is a gift that you measure with time. Life is the process willed by your mind. Death is the passing into eternity, beginning a new kind of spirit journey. You may not fully understand, but that is just part of a larger plan. This world was created with so much love, have faith and believe in the world above. Mom, it matters not that time goes by….for what has been will never die.”
Reading this over and over I came to realize what my son meant by his first words, “Mom, you were right.” I’d always believed in a hereafter and he was never sure.

Though my colleague had requested for one week extension of her leave as her typhoid was becoming more stubborn, she came to work after two days. When asked what miracle took place, she had this to say: “Your wording seems to be correct. Literally a miracle took place. You would remember—I contracted typhoid same time last year. This time when it happened, I went through the same medication from the same doctor, but in vain. Antibiotics were literally making me damn tired, and even after one week typhoid only became more stubborn.
When my neighbor visited me, she said her friend can cure this without any expense. She will comb your negative energy which will remove your disease also. I was so desperate that I was ready to try anything—though I did not believe in such things. She brought a middle-aged woman. She said: ‘Trust your own experience. Your negative thinking and negative behavioral pattern will attract some form of negative energy into your body; and this negative, toxic environment is a fertile ground for harmful bacteria which will thrive on such environment—which ultimately cause diseases. So, solution is simple: remove the negative energy, and you will be healed. Hence bring your broom.’ I brought my broom. She took some of the gray sticks out of it, and told me: ‘Imagine this is a comb. When I comb all over your body with this, you concentrate on your God (or on your inner spirit, if you do not believe in God) and tell Him that He remove all the negative energy that has been accumulated in your body.’
Then she moved her hand holding hay-sticks over my body—back and front and side-ways—without touching my body two-three times. Then she took those hay-sticks, kindled one end and placed toward the corner of the room vertically with the burning end down. It literally behaved like crackers. She said: “all your negative energy was sucked on to the hay-sticks—that is what you saw now exploded. Now your body is no more a fertile ground for harmful bacteria which thrive in toxic environment or negative energy. Hence forth guard against negative energy. Be good to yourself and to others which will keep your body filled with positive energy in which helpful micro organisms will thrive giving you good health.” I felt a sudden change within, and within a few hours I was perfectly normal; and today I am here to report for work.
“I can’t believe this,” I responded. She said: This is how exactly even my family members too (who were witnesses to my healing) responded to that woman who helped me to be healed. She told them. You try on your body—if your body does not have negative energy, the hay-sticks will burn in a normal way; otherwise, it will behave like crackers.” Immediately, my younger brother tried to know the truthfulness what she said, and the hay-sticks burned in a normal way.
What is this phenomenon? Has anyone else had this experience?
when people talk about emergent consciousness, it only shows they they do not understand the how of consciousness!.
has anyone shown a model that exhibits properties of self awareness and qualitative experience from chemical properties?
again, not even close!.
Sorry NAVYTOWN,
When we say consciousness, it is
the consciousness of all beings (not just of human beings)
It seems you did not read the link:
You ALSO say: “To religious types, anything they don't comprehend MUST be ascribed to God as the ultimate explanation.”
This logic can ALSO be turned against you: 'To materialistic types, anything they don't comprehend MUST be ascribed to ALMIGHT CHANCE as the ultimate explanation.'
when people talk about emergent consciousness, it only shows they they do not understand the how of consciousness!.
has anyone shown a model that exhibits properties of self awareness and qualitative experience from chemical properties?

Emergentism is simply playing a shell game!
christian denominations say we go to heaven, witness say we stay alseep until ressurection.

i'm not really concerned with death atm, i'm not dead.
Coded Logic Good question! I can attempt to point the direction I have taken.
Death is a universal occurrence; yet it is the least understood phenomenon. According to early writings of Ludwig Josef Johann Wittgenstein (Austrian-British philosopher), this is because death is not an event in one’s life; we do not live to experience death. He upheld that at death the world does not alter, but comes to an end. However, he added, our life has no end in just the same way in which our visual field has no limits. After death, life becomes unmanifest.
It is the soul that enlivens, galvanises, moves and directs the body, mind and senses. Every soul is a circle without circumference. The centre of the circle is body. Death means change of this centre from body to body. Death is the separation of soul from body. Body is destructible and belongs to the indestructible soul. Hence it follows: Death destroys the personality but it cannot annihilate individuality because individuality is separate and has distinct existence beyond body with no relation to personality.
Man clings to this earthly life. This clinging proves that there is past experience and existence and that there is a future life. Man likes this life immensely and strongly yearns for a future life also.
For me, death is only a passing and necessary phenomenon, which every soul has to go through to gain experience for its further evolution and perfection. It opens the door to a higher form of life. Death is the gateway to a fuller life. IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO ACHIEVE PERFECTION AND ABSOLUTE FREEDOM WITHOUT PLURALITY OF LIVES. That means there was life before and there will be life after physical death of the body! So, one should face death fearlessly and joyfully.
The ideal attitude to death is best illustrated by the answer given to Buddha by his disciple Sariputta. When asked, Well, monk, does not life burden you and dont you like to be released by death? Or, does living fascinate you, because there is a noble mission to fulfil? Sariputta replied, Venerable Teacher, I desire not life. I desire not death. I wait until my hour shall come, like a servant that waits for his wages.
hi, had some strange things happen this week that have made me ponder what on earth is going on with the man made organisation.. 1/ while picking up some train tickets i was approached by a young man with an ipad of sorts who engaged me in a chap and then asked to show me a new website i asked what he was trying to sell or promote he assured me that he was selling nothing the website he showed me was jw.org so i quickly said so you are promoting an organisation with a brand name similar to how a christian would promote jesus and the bible he looked confused but then said yes, so i said that i thought that to be quite shamefull, he froze for a bit and didnt comment so i asked is this new symbol a trade mark of some marketting firm to which he said "no we are jehovahs witnesses" no one else was around so not sure of the "we" but anyway i said if god has given us the bible whats with a website that produces snippets out the bible with an opinion on the meaning he avoided the question and asked me what i believed in so i said my religions leeders dont let me discuss belief with anybody so i obey,listen to them and dont question he said "you have been blessed by j with a brain and freedom of thought to look and question" i said ok but i think its strange that you use a name for god thats perhaps made up by man, blindly follow and dont question a group of self appointed men as well as showing signs of idoatory to an organisation that has pushed jesus to one side, at this he suddenly he had to dash off.
2/ when out shopping i was apprehended by a group of people with a stand giving free literature and promoting the jw.org website so i had had to ask whats with this name change after all these years and are you a similar religion to the catholic church which led to a chat about how the catholic religion is false and how they wickedly have covered up sex abuse!
i didnt bite on this one but asked if birth control was banned in the jw.org religion a lady stepped forward and explained that it was cruel and not biblical to ban contreception i said i had been shown a bit in the bible that gives rise to this ban and she said they(catholic church) dont understand the bible and use it to control and miss inform people so i replied similar to how your organisation bans blood and birthdays by misinterpreting the bible i went on to say that i believe the organisation to be hypocritical,false , cult like and shamefull how it covers up sex abuse i also got in that the organisation had totally corrupted its self with its un membership and also with the sheer amount of false prophecy over its relatively short history at which the senior man at the table politely told me if i wasnt interested in the literature to be on my way and that hopefully i would mature enough to let jehovah into my heart before it was to late and that he felt sorry for me and the people i obviously associated with.
the entire organization shoves all its chips into the center of the table on one bet: they are the only mouthpiece of god on earth.. what are the odds to this bet?.
the statistic for christian denominations make jw's 1 out of 41,000 opinions.. a chance of 1 in 41 thousand is a tough bet.. _________________________.

in my most recent talk, i got counseled for using some terms that were not prefered.
for example i said "new testament" rather than "the christian greek scriptures".
i also used the term "gospel", but even worse, i made reference to the "synoptic gospels" and the "gnostic gospel".. i guess i never thought of it before, but when i looked at the societies information on the matter they always say things like, "the so-called new testament..." or "the so-called synoptic gospels..." why with all the "so-called?".
I have been counselled for using even the harmless word "SERMON" on the ground that it is being lavishly used by the Christendom!
