i do not post ot topics on here but i think this could relate to the jw cult because i remember a brother gave a talk long time ago and he said that jehovah would never allow man or science to play with crossing genes and if humans start to do this then we need to find a new religion.
well.... here it is.. now i also want to say, if jehovah cared so much about all this human suffering then why does science seem to be the one who actually cares about fixing thing?
jehovah does nothing.
This reminds me of a fictional animal from Margaret Atwood's apocalyptic science fiction novel Oryx and Crake. It was called a pigoon. It was a laboratory pig that was used to grow organs for human transplantation.
During the apocalypse, they were released from the laboratories. The main character - one of the few survivors - had to be wary of the pigoons who would attack and eat humans.
so, you left because of a bad example(s).. why all the whining?
nothing better to do with your time?.
you at least know far more about the bible than any church-goer?.

Has 1919 been abandoned? Is the sky falling?
No the sky is not falling. It just a small puffy cloud evaporating into nothingness.
some go back to churchianity!.
and that, to me, indicates they never had real faith in god- but it was in men.....
the-Question,
...the New World Translation, which USED to be the most accurate translation there is!
A question: Why do you believe that?
someone decided to make their avatar almost identical to my old one so i changed mine to avoid any confusion.. <- so lookout for this anytime you want to read some "amazing words of wisdom" from now on :d.
But I love the Canadian wilderness.
i just found something interesting... i found a video of a group of people shouting, "allah akbar!
" while protesting in berlin, germany.
it was the women's march.. praise allah for this one-minute recording:.
Saename,
I found a video of a group of people shouting, "Allah Akbar!" while protesting in Berlin, Germany. It was the Women's March.
I saw the video and I've got this to say:
There was no group of women shouting Alla Akbar there was only one. Everybody else was shouting "pussy grabs back.
It's obvious that the women at that protest were Liberals.
The one individual that made that shout was being looked at with disdain. It is likely that she was being sarcastic.
the nut-left got a dilemma with islamic terrorism: on one hand their natural instinct is to defend muslims from any (perceived) attack on islam and on the other hand radical islam is shock full of values that are 100% opposed to everything they believe: the nut-left would simply be stoned to death in a country which properly followed sharia law.. how do you fix the cognitive dissonance?
well, the standard script includes the following items:.
first, you don't really defend sharia, at least not in its entirety, but spend time talking about the evils of the west, in particular, israel.
Simon,
The right generally aren't the ones actually threatening and attacking people.
Those, and more, are the ones that made the news.
well, very little, to be honest.
the structure and commitment of the ministry provided discipline necessary to my life.
therefore, i did it, as required, and felt some sense of fulfillment at the bible study stage.. i do like talking to people.
Unfortunately, I was able to convert two persons at my high school. It wasn't field service per se and I did not count my hours (as I could have) but it amounted to the same thing.
I was an introverted person who found it extremely difficult to engage others in a normal conversation. Like most others, introverted or not, I wanted to simply count my time placing magazines.
In actual field service I got to the point where I was beginning to have anxiety attacks. One night I was with a brother approaching people in a retail establishment's parking lot. We were scaring people who apparently feared that we might be robbers. I ended up telling that brother that there was "something wrong with this". He agreed with me thinking that I was referring to myself, not our being there.
i thought i would start a new post about trumps inaugural address.
has anyone here seen "the new pope"?
jude law gave a stirring performance playing the pope.
Spoletta,
At least he spoke in (mostly) coherent sentences. It would be great if someone could synch his mouth with an old Hitler speech, or vice versa.
I've noticed that when Trump speaks coherently it's because he's repeating what someone else said to him. When he's speaking his mind it inevitably comes out as word salad.
I noticed this from a speech he was making using a teleprompter. He was understandable. He got turned off by it though, and decided to ad lib it. When he did that he went to default mode.
in 1967 i had the misfortune of being born with a watchtower stuck in my ass.
it took 45 years for me to realize, "hey!
there's a watchtower stuck in my ass!
Nice metaphor Zoos.
It took me 8 years. Part of it may have been the fact that I wasn't born in and had an idea of what independence was like. However, I was 14 when I joined so it made a major impact on my life. It helped that I came in on my own volition; no family in the religion.
Fourteen to twenty one. My curiosity got me in; my curiosity got me out.
