  humans have produced many movies on extraterrestrials.

  yet all of them are shown in ugly form.

  why cant we depict an et more beautiful/handsome than humans.

  does a type of buddhism exist that doesn't include the metaphysical aspects of traditional buddhism?

  yes.. whenever I speak to a hindu about their beliefs, they say the real fantasy stuff was just to help an ancient people conceptualize god and the morals they were trying to instill..

  very rarely they take any of that literally.. by contrast, JWs take the entire bible literally and fail to understand that it was written for ancient people to help them grasp.. people in modern society should be able to get the point without having to take the account literally.

  my 10 year old son is paying attention at the meetings

  the public talk on sunday was about evolution.. my son pointed out flaws in the speakers arguments during and after the meeting... mostly about how animals aren't able to communicate etc.

  he even brought up coco the ape that is able to communicate via sign.. i told him that i heard a ton of inconsistencies but i am afraid to say anything because your mom will get angry :).

  im glad he is paying attention.. and the school system must be doing something right..

  yeah.. the speaker was saying only humans have language.. or something like that makes us different from animals.

  I wonder why if we are not animals we eat, shlt and fcuk like them.

  i wonder how they will live during retirement.. i know most will not have a retirement and work till they die.

  i wonder if you get social security in the US.. but thats based on your income during your working years right.

  How did you find the truth? - the loaded question.

  by user100 in

  had dinner this weekend with a jw family and met a bunch of new jws.

  one of them who was not very talkative at all and out of the blue asked me how i found "the truth".

  i answered how my family has always been starting with my great grandfather.. then he clarified his question.. he said something about how this is a great question and people always talk about their spiritual heritage.

  I doubt i will see him again but he does live close by.. seeing that he has made it his own makes me think he is a drone and is not seeking further enlightenment..

  Then he clarified his question.. he said something about how this is a great question and people always talk about their spiritual heritage. but the question really is when/how/why did you make the truth your own?

  My answer was "there was no defining moment when I made it my own" I realized I could be getting into some hot water there but I wanted to be honest.

  I asked him how he found "it" because I try not to use the word "Truth". Apparently he at the age of 27 decided it was "The Truth" after one study. Apparently his mother became a witness but he never really studied. and he finally accepted a study after being pestered by the JWs to take the study.

  It is amazing that he could make this decision at age 27. I never had that luxury. I had to make mine around age 15. My next logical question for him would have been "so you swallowed 'The Truth' hook line and sinker? Never questioned anything?" I didnt though.. that was the end of our conversation :)
