  i've always wondered that.

  recently i asked that question on another thread and didn't really get ananswer.

  cofty made an excellent point that we often hear what it isn't, but that really isn't useful.. so, what is it?

  Sounds like a splendid idea for you, Miss Vivi. Relax, put your feet up. Have a cigar. Depending on where you live, the night might still be young.

  I don't know how old your child is, but please, don't do something as harsh as divorcing your child's father on the advice of a child. I remember my kids were pushy about me divorcing my husband, too. Now that they are grown. My son who is the man's biological son, he asks me, "Mom, you were the adult, why did you ever listen to a couple of teenagers?"

  JWs are going to be pushy about their beliefs because they sincerely believe you and your child's eternal life are in danger. Does that really count as abuse? Divorce will profoundly affect you and your child in ways you cannot predict now. Unless there is severe abuse of the sexual or violent kind, can't you figure out a way to live with your spouse in a way that will work for you and your mutual child?

  Your answer was an imaginary life-force.

  Cofty, that was only one of my posts about spirit. It is only speculation on your part that the force that give us sentience and animation is imaginary.

  If not, we are still no closer to an answer. - Viv

  In the context "we" would mean everybody.

  Except that Vivane can't speak for everybody. If she claims to, then she is lying. We don't all agree that we are no closer to answer, though it's obvious that Viviane is no closer and possibly will never be closer to an answer.

  Everyone posting here is the "we" I refer to

  When you say "we", you wouldn't be talking about those of us posting here, that do not agree with you.

  I find it quite interesting that, rather than simply ask someone what their motives are, assumptions born of ignorance are assumed.

  If we look at your pattern of behaviors on JWN, it's obvious what this thread is about and it's not your curiosity about what spirit is. Bait threads are nothing new on JWN.

  just wondering.. do you agree/disagree with capital punishment?.

  are there any circumstances that would justify it?.

  or is taking any human life unacceptable, regardless of the crime?.

  ^^^ What he said.

  violent criminals? sociopaths? paedophiles? Put them on an island, guarded by technology, to protect society from them. They can live out their lives, farming their land, whatever they choose to do. Banishment is good enough for me.

  Let them find out what they are like, by hanging out with like people.
