  over at yahoo science/health news, scientists have regenerated.

  30 percent of the optic nerve, within the brain of rats.

  is a first - and very promising.. i know i'm a broken record on this but the age of miracles.

  Wasn't Stevie Wonder going to have a experimental surgery similar to this? I read it in the Times, I think.

  It's just dawned on me...

  by Billygoat in

  ...that jw's have a hard time forgiving others because they themselves are rarely forgiven for their own sins.

  according to their beliefs jehovah keeps track of every detail of your life...good and bad.

  that even if you are humble and repent of your sins, that there is still no true forgiveness until the new system.

  UNBIASED??? BWHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
  Oh...that's a good one!

  andi, took the words right out of my mouth....

  YOYOYOYOYOYOYO,

  calm down, and listen. 1975, 1914, generation, 607, Nazis, 1934, 1975 yearbooks, and the 1998 watchtower "discrepancies". Blood rule changes, the two witnesses rule,

  the list goes on.

  Do not be misled by false prophets, YOYO.

  Why can some question and others not

  by joelbear in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  we are not jehovah's witnesses because of a variety of circumstances, but one thing we all share is that we question.. what factors come together to make us questioners?.

  intelligence?

  but i know a lot of very smart non-questioning jehovah's witnesses.. bravery?

  Name's second post was excellent. I agree. I questioned things because of the way people I love were treated. People who were kind, but were trampled upon because they didn't belong to the singular consciousness, that the JW's are. Individualistic people are rarely accepted, but that is universal.

  Joel-Hyspocrisy in bearuocracy-very true

  YOYO, I think you are as confused as we are, but for the moment I will assume you are not. I left-It was a question of people.

  My father called me last nite and called me Korah...he said it nicely, but I go the point...he said, all these years you guys have been going against me, "I'm just doing what's right...and"

  I stopped him there and told him that's what the problem was, and that is what the problem is among the JW's...conscience has become the bat to beat someone with..you're allowed to have it, but it had better be stricter than the other person's or there would be hell to pay. If your conscience went outside of the congregational conscience, there would be problems.

  The JW's all say, "I am doing what's right!"

  and that's the reason I left. Every conscience is right, and not to stumble everyone, you pander to everyone's conscience, no matter how bizzarre it is.....and lose your individuality.

  I will andi...although I'm younger so people may question the legitity of it all......I'm sorry, kid. I've heard the same coming from my wife's side. The top of your posts speaks to me the most. That's why I am an ass when it comes to the foriveness of JW's....I was given no leeway myself.

  I'm sorry Andi. The offer still stands!!!

  Abad...just wanted to say, that's a helluva first paragraph. Very true. I guess I'm agnostic now, but the belief in God, I think, is much more a personal feeling, like love, that people experience.

  I think the reason they cling to the bible as truth is that they need some physical document to prove to themselves that there is a God, that their love-like feeling has some basis in fact, or history.

  And for some reason, they need it.

  Good thread, by the way.
