  the very act of looking into the future, changes -- indeed, negates -- that future.

  If so, then everything in the universe, including God, is absolutely determined and free will is a pathetic joke.

  I believe that our assumptions about our own little lives here become way more important than the reality observed imo. I observe a linear timeline dating from time immemorial moving 'forward' into infinity.

  Since I don't understand who or what God is, I cannot imagine what he has really created especially in view of the unknown, what 'time' is. I cannot currently believe that God is a being stuck in our linear timeline, just waiting around to start the big A - it is unrealistic to me.

  If the whole mosaic of whatever 'time' and 'existance' is in this universe means that it was all laid out and I do not really have free will, so be it, I still love life and enjoy most every moment of it waking and sleeping.

  boa...the pathetic joker...

  2. friends

  so, what's the most useless thing you ever purchased?

  i'm not sure about mine, but for a while i was wanting to buy the "video nag".

  it was a $10 vhs tape, featuring 23 minutes of some ugly hag continually bitching.. btw, this is a recycled post.

  Another JW Questions 1914 At The Meeting!!!

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  my mother told me that a regular pioneer in his 60's from a nearby hall questioned how we could be sure 1914 was the date christ was enthroned as king of the kingdom.

  he questioned the brother conducting the meeting for field service.

  it didn't go well......he left that hall and is reported missing in action!

  I'm afraid somehow that the wts is cleverly manipulating the information to decrease awareness and knowledge of the basic 1914 claim and especially the tie to 1918 as when they were found 'approved' by Christ out of all of Christendom. Of course, this doesn't explain that virtually nothing changed in the org for many yrs after that date like christmas, cross etc. so how could this be?

  Thus, I think this will not be the thing to bring them down...perhaps nothing will do it totally...i agree people WANT to believe its the 'truth' and so there they are...going back even.

  Possible Economic Defeat of the Watchtower

  by metatron in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the organization collectively owns a lot of property.

  however, i believe they are thinly 'financed', if you will.. since contributions have sagged so badly in recent years, it leaves them vunerable to many different factors.. for one thing, i think that the organization was strongly protected from lawsuits by witnesses - or their relatives.

  because such a thing was considered unthinkable, something you didn't do.

  sorry to hear about your mother weasel.

  the society's careful quoting from only a tiny bit of that book and the assembly is what saves them like in so many other issues from loyal dubbies becoming questioning dubbies imo
