Else where is near to the truth.
I think
1: Man was made in the image of god
2: their god is unbending and cruel
3: they are god (well WTBTS)
4: they will make their successors in their own image.
ergo NO.
Only the scum rises to the top.

for the past 100 years, psychic research has painstakingly assembled proof for the continuence of life and has gradually emerge from a metaphysical mantle into the full glare of scientific inquiry.
i read this statement somewhere.
photographs of the dead would make the argument for survival much stronger.
Most of the photos allegedly of spiritualist events have been fake.
Until we know what sort of "??" these disembodied dead are made of how can we make a mix of chemicals that would record their presence.
I have seen cctv footage where three children in victorian garb suddenly appeared (at night on infra red) ran along a path and climbed over a wall. No footprints were found on the path next day.
There are more things in heaven and earth than are dreamed of in our philosophies.
Why don't people just live in the here and now and wait and see?

is this issue of the watchtower being part of the un department of public information of any significance?
at the district conventions of jehovahs witnesses there are flags of the united states and other sovereign government such as states or other countries hanging from the buildings.
the governing body and the watchtower society rent buildings which become the equivalent of kingdom halls for the weekend.
Really this parroting of delusional rhetoric has nothing to do with Ram trying to save any of us from destruction, it is a means of reinforcing his own threatened beliefs.
After their disconfirmation, the true believer works even harder to preserve his own faith by repeating those beliefs to others. In his eyes their rejection only serves to prove he is being persecuted by the evil one and therefore right.
See Bennyboy, you don't even know the first thing on how to spot you are being mind controlled by a cult, we do - why have you not researched that one?? Frightened, or just typical lazy scholar like most JWS?
Best way to help is probably to just say "yeah yeah yeah yeah BYee"

i'm not talking about deeminz and gawds, or the supernatural here, just the state of being spiritual.
what accounts for it in the evolutionary model?
muchos gracias amigos.
Spirituality to me is a state of mind, a different consciousness of the reality around us.
It can be induced by beauty of many kinds, love, lack of food or oxygen and in some cases drugs. A spiritual experience for me was standing in a dark field of sunflowers one night and watching the first slivers of the moon rising blood red against a backdrop of the milky way and occasional shooting stars.
Sadly it can also be caused by delusional interpretations of stone age fairy stories.
In primitive times the conviction of lifes "meaning" or "purpose" (can't adequately express this ) probably conferred greater likelihood of survival on those whose energies and mental state were pushed into the positive end of the emotional spectrum. As opposed to those who saw no point to any of it and gave up.
Whether the ideas were true was not at the time essential. Experiences from the death camps have backed this view.
Sadly, these delusional ideas now threaten our very survival in a way that healthy spirituality does not.

insight on the scriptures vol 1 pages 345, paragraph 6 at deuteronomy 14:21 allowances was made for selling to an alien resident or a foreigner an animal that had died of itself or that had been torn by a beast.
thus a distinction was made between the blood of such animals and that of animals that a person slaughtered for food.
{compare le 17:14-16} the israelites, as well as alien residents who took up true worship and came under the law covenant, were obligated to live up to the lofty requirements of that law.
Christ says
"You will be Witnesses of ME"
The GB alone called themselves JWs at first. Since they say they are God's NAME people they are either admitting that Jehovah and Jesus are both God, or they are exposing themselves as not being witnesses of Jesus which is what the Lord said we should be. Disobedience in this shows who you really serve.
I shudder. At least if the Witlesses are right the worst any of us have to worry about is a very long deep sleep.
If they are wrong, alot of unhappy GBers will be roasting alive along with you JW Ben (You don't want to be a witness of Jesus as he commanded do you?)

here's an interesting link, and proof that bible studies of jw's are doing their own "research".
http://www.witnessworld.com/seekerofthetruth/2/seeking the truth 7/5/2005 - is this the truth?.
i have been studying with the jehovah's witnesses for a little more than 3 months now.
Go to www.watchthetower.com click on "A comprehensive list of Watchtower false prophecies." Gives em all.

i've heard from the "society" that prescription drugs under a doctor's care is acceptable regarding the "keep your body clean" excuse they give smoking.
what about medicinal marijuana, which is legal in some states and gaining popularity?
i've checked the dub "library" and found very little.
There was an article in the early 80s, that discussed smoking of herbal as opposed to tobacco cigarettes.
Decided that eating the herbs for their benfit was fine, but smoking was un natural and therefore wrong.
So calm your nerves with nicotine gum, and space cake - thats the natural way.
I hate how the WTS pressgangs words like natural normal to manipulate you into approval or otherwise.

Ram has simply uplifted his first post from the thread THE REAL DEAL: SILENCING THE CRITICS PART 2.
Either he doesn't want any lurkers to hear the replies made or he doesn't want to read any of them himself.
Either way it's a good example of witnessthink. Leave the door where people don't agree with you and go knock on the next to say the same thing all over again.

the greats should be exhumed, ripped from the ground, hell they went to heaven from 1918 onward.
exhume, and see what was buried with the skeletons (personal diaries) - both writers (secret lives), and i as a writer....
Da Judge will be totally preserved like any other pickled specimen.

The WTS also criticizes
MORMONS - who forbid caffeine - for having huge shares in Coca Cola, a drink containing caffeine.
CATHOLIC Church - which forbids contraception - yet has huge share holdings in pharmaceuticals producing the pill, and condom factories.
United Churches of America for "tolerating" same sex unions, when for years they put up with gay GB members. (Didi they GO to heaven by the way?) See the Olin Moyle trial transcript (you won't -you are probably a coward ) Oh!!! and did you know the WTS profits from missile and war plane companies - again, it's all there for you to see.
So when other churches joined the UN on the same basis they were whores. WTS does and they are not????? Oh sorry - I forgot in the hebrew scriptures only women could be whores... they are just buggers.
