How the human mind processes facts and faith differently
by EdenOne ini found this very interesting article by t. m. luhrmann in todays edition of the new york times (i've highlighted a few parts i 've found most interesting):.
it seems weird to deny them.. and yet a broad group of scholars is beginning to demonstrate that religious belief and factual belief are indeed different kinds of mental creatures.
people process evidence differently when they think with a factual mind-set rather than with a religious mind-set.

"Personally, I would like to see an experiment that scans the brain while the person is making a factual statement..."

For God/Truth Seekers Only!
by Nicola.threeangelsmessage infor the past three years, my husband and i have been watching these sermons by remarkable worldwide speakers.
the biblical truths we have learnt from their presentations, in such a short period of time most definitely tip the scales compared to the truth the jw.org led me to believe i had for over 20 plus years of my life.
thanks to these videos, we have now found the truth and the truth is jesus christ (john 14:6).

Nicola.threeangelsmessage,
"I hope you will find Him too one day..."
"He is a wonderful God isn't He, because He cares for all His creation - even those that don't believe in Him."
Nicola, what do you think will happen to all the non Christians who try be moral but do not believe in the Christian god?

JWstruggle has that image posted on its site. Based on the other images that it posts it is unlikely that this or any other images on that site is taken from any Watchtower literature. -

"What will I do if I leave Jehovah's Witnesses ?"
by Balaamsass2 inwhenever we visit the board we see a lot of angst among jehovah's witnesses who are just learning the tatt (the truth about the truth).
hey, don't feel bad, we had it at one time ourselves.
"angst means fear or anxiety (anguish is its latinate equivalent, and anxious, anxiety are of similar origin).

As I said on another thread those guys have the pick of the litter. I have noticed something curious though; young brothers marrying women 10 to 15 years older than them. The couples on both sides of the great divide probably reason to themselves that they're not going to grow much older because Paradise is soon to come.Link +3 / -0 -

How to Choose a Wife!
by snugglebunny inback in the day, when my family moved to a new congregation, i fell head over heels with a young sister who was an elder's daughter.
it wasn't long before we were talking about marriage and i was contemplating buying her an engagement ring.
my parents were not happy at all.

Village Idiot erroneously said, "I've heard that men outnumber women 2 to 1 making it difficult for a woman to get a husband."
Correction, it's actually the reverse.

How long do JW study the bible with someone? Until baptism?
by Lynnie ini have a 35 year old cousin who got baptized last year after rejecting the jw since she was 13. not sure what happened to change her mind, i suspect it's all about family since her dad is an elder and her two sisters are very much in.
her oldest sister is married to a middle management guy in bethel.
so she studied for about 2 years until she decided to get baptised.

Lynnie, In my day 6 months was the minimum time needed. Also, I continued a Bible study past my baptism though it wasn't a common thing. There was something about the one on one rapport that appealed to me. -
