  Athiests: Do you ever wonder... what if?

  i'll start by saying, i'm a ministerial servant who is trapped in the religion.

  my wife is hardcore...but i've slowly been getting her to lighten up, so i'll take it!

  all my friends and family are jw's, and i am employed by a jw (who is actually a great boss).

  No. The same way I don'y waste time wondering if Thor is real. Bible God is an ancient myth that has as much relevance as Ra, Mithras, Baal or any of the other old gods.

  Does consciousness end with the death of the body

  by givemejustalittlemoretime in

  apparently, the carvakas in anceint hinduism were materialists and skeptics, arguing that consciousness ends with the death of the body and that therefore we should take pleasure in this life while we possess it and practice compassion toward others.

  they also argued that direct observation is the only certain way to know anything, and thus the existence of supernatural forces and realities cannot be established and must be rejected.

  this is funny and yet so spot on.

  In the rush to paint reality in black and white we hide much that should not be hidden and we highlight much that is insignificant. The current zeitgeist , in the internet enabled world, is pitchfork and lynch mob regarding anything with children. This rush to proclaim a protection zone around children is a theatre to pretend we are doing something. At the swimming pool viewing gallery I angle my smart phone so people can see Im not taking pictures (the new evil !) Those loudly proclaiming their anti paedophilia stance get no commendation from me and in fact draw my ire. I want to understand the issue, I want to engage people with sexual desires for children in the hope of working with them to develop real strategies for child protection, adult self control and maybe even to discover medical treatments. Unfortunately doing something real to protect my children and help rehabilitate people with innapropriate sexual desires is hampered by those who rabble rouse and build the pyre ready to burn the 'witch'. Now we all look at each other with fear and distrust while forcing the real problem into hiding and turning some of them into predators.

  second malaysian plane down

  by prologos in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  not that this is directly wt related.. images from the crash area indivate that the plane was burning as it crashed.

  light debris was falling out of the smoke trail before the impact and other images show two distinct smoke plumes, one on approach the other after the impact.

  this was not a vertical dive.. one of the theories about the first malaysian plane dissappearance is an incident with dangerous cargo catching fire.. 2 planes of the same airlime?

  Separatists posted earlier about shooting down military aircraft and about capturing a BUK anti aircraft missile system. They have since removed the posts. It is highly likely they just made a tragic error. I suspect the Ukraine will get lots of support now and further sanctions against Russia may well be in the mix. Not a good day.

  Unfortunately you didn't see the really crazy cult stuff that occurs when cameras aren't rolling.
