Psychopaths, atheists and agnostics
by Fernando ina naughty attention grabbing heading i admit - i'm sorry, just couldn't resist.
obviously we all know atheists and agnostics have nothing in common with psychopaths.
in fact i would hold that atheists and agnostics generally have better functioning consciences than religionists.

Just a few random examples and estimates. Maybe there are better examples of human irrationality and the propensity to shoot ourselves in the foot...
The examples you cite are not psychological, in that neither address the individual mind, which is the subject. If you consider the group and it's motivations, this is now sociology, a related but different subject and one somewhat relevant to your first example at least. These are really more political than psychological issues anyways IMO.
I really am interested to understand how our atheist and agnostic friends on JWN reason about Psychopaths (persons with no conscience).
So am I but not nearly as much as how theists reason about psychopathy. Is it as simple as the Devil made me do it? Does god create people who are damaged? Is it just bad wiring in the membrane through no fault of our own? Is it our will? From where cometh evil?
Inquiring minds want to know...

The Tower of Babel - Languages: Isn't this story unhinged?
by james_woods inbesides the obvious fact that it is historically ridiculous - can anybody make any sense out of this story?.
god was somehow afraid that man was developing too much technology?
just because they were building a tower?.

Initial thoughts on the OP, I believed the story to be a metaphor for challenging the authority of god vis a vis the tower and a proud king. The message seemed to be "don't be so proud or else". And the spinoff is a explanation of the emergence of diverse languages which is another packaged mystical explanation typical in Genesis. Language is evolving as we speak.
Now for the thread...

What apostates fail to recognize is...
by nananana inyou can cut & paste all the excerpts from articles you want...you can leak all the boe letters, you can pretend to be witnesses and come to the conventions and meetings...but.
no other organization can begin to rival the success and magnitude of the prophecy found in mt 24:14. so apostates....don't waste your time spending countless hours digging up articles and reading books to convince yourself to turn away from jh's organization.
no matter what "evidence" you find you cannot ignore the obvious fulfillment of matthew 24:14.. .

Trivia question; after the Nebudchadnezzar is destroyed by sentinels, Morpheus says something like "I had a dream but now the dream is gone from me"
I swear that's a direct reference to King N, is it not?

What exactly is a relasionship with God?
by tootired2care ingrowing up and jw and being around them all my life i constantly heard the expression "a relasionship with god".
this always confused me, because how do you have a relasionship with someone that doesn't talk back to you after praying?
this was always rationalized as god talks back to you when you read the bible.

Pretty one sided it would seem, unless of course you're one of the fortunate that hears his voice. It seems more of a feeling though, from what I've heard ;)
