you cannot "know god"...simply because there is no God.
there are plenty of gods available off the shelf if you really need something to prop you up.

16 - “....to be saved at armageddon, we must show that we “know god” and that we “obey the good news about our lord jesus.” (2 thess.
1:7-9) we “know god” when we know his likes, dislikes, and standards.

now i think i may have seen everything.. "boy crowned prom queen by schoolmates".
i'm all for people being entitled to wear what they want and live as they please as long as they're not harming anyone but - a male prom queen?
maybe there wasn't much competition in his school?.
LV101: you would most likely find the tax payer already pays to keep him and his mother.
humanity is slowly leaving behind ancient stories of a god who created adam and eve and punished their children for eating the forbidden produce.
some people with vision like yuval noah harai, sam harris, elon musk, and others, caution the intellectuals of the world to tread cautiously in regard to artificial intelligence, (ai) development.
most experts don’t share their viewpoint mostly because they think they know more than they do, and they think they are smarter than they are.
god knows what might have happened had it been a banana.

the longer i am out, the the less i understand the logic of this organisation.. i thought that the kingdom hall my wife attends was perfectly fine and adequate, in fact i liked that it sat in grassy grounds, surrounded by trees.
it probably wasn't in any dire need of re-decorating at this point.
others, obviously, thought otherwise and so the hall has recently been subjected to a make-over.. the parking lot has been extended in true joni michell they've "paved paradise and put up a parking lot".
Where are the chairs etc bought from?
Follow the money.
i often wondered over the years what happened to a lot of the old posters from this group.
going back to the late 1990s a few of the names i recall...blacksheep, gypsywildcactus (i know she's ok as we're friends on facebook still), onacruise, minimus, veniceit, flower, prisca, bendrr, refinersfire, kent, englishman, shit...dare i say it evilforce lol, snittlesnacks (what a twat), scully, mouthy, talesin from nova scotia, xenawarrior.
littletom (from glasgow in scotland), outlaw, goaty, bisous, uncle brucey (australian character who loved his wildkife photography) - struggling now to remember more names.i know there are many more.
@Kernow
ive taken the liberty of copying your recent post to a friend of mine--an ex elder who lived in cornwall for several years.
beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
i'll start it off:.
.
the wife and i were expecting a health worker to call at our door 10:30 this morning and about 10;35 two women appeared at our door so i opened up thinking they were who i expected ,so i was take back a bit being caught off guard when they identified themselves as doing a bible work.. this is just the gist of what took place & not a word for word conversation.. a woman about in her fifties her companion about her twenties.the older woman did most of the talking as she read to me the scripture from her phone " in the last days critical times hard to deal with...etc.etc.and she went back and emphasised that we were living in the last days because of what that scripture said.. i made the comment that the scripture just about sums up human history in any given time.then i went on to say that this day and age is the best time in human history overall given the advances in technology ,medical procedures ,the overall standard of living being higher and so on .but they insisted on we were living in the last days.then i said different religions have been claiming that for the past couple hundred years.. then to throw them a curve ball i asked if they were mormons ?
oh no we are jehovah`s witnesses.had i been prepared for them and not caught out unawares i would have taken a different tact.i then asked the older woman how long she has been a witness and she said 36 years so i then said to her you must have seen a lot of changes in your religion during that time which she agreed with.
( the light gets brighter).
