so this weekend there was a part about not following jesus at a distance.
the speaker made a big point of stating that any baptized jw male who was not either appointed ms/elder, or at the very least "reaching out" actively, was in fact following jesus at a distance.
he said that the only way to live through the big a was to follow jesus closely.

if crisis of conscience is one of the top watchtower doctrine killers, what is the coc of theism?.
i'd like to read a book, or other material that does the best job logically arguing for atheism.. i've not read any darwin, however it is my assumption that his focus is primarily on evolution, is this correct?
if you were to recommend one book or a few pieces of reading material, which do the best job of defending atheism, what would they be?.
Though not as specific towards theism, Cosmos by Carl Sagan was my personal fav with respect to thought provoking meanderings. The guy had a reasoned way with words and conveyed a wondrous vision of reality.
Of course, the problem of evil itself rests a solid case against a loving god.
This doesn't rule out all possibilities.
hello ya'll.
was just listening to great guitar music from some of my favorites.
who are your all time favorites?
Yea, funny thing, age
Used to be Hendrix, Clapton, Beck and Page were king, among others
These days I don't remember the last CD I had to have or bought even.
I think the last guitarist I got into was Elliott Smith about 10 yrs or so ago, back when I was still drinking heavily and savoring the sweet pain of it all. So tragically hip, man. LMAO
There's so much talent and music out there, a virtual rainbow of musical moods and soundscapes. The discovery of it is half the fun.
what is god's spirit?
.
i ask this of those who believe in god.

Kudos to this very brave young woman.
An incisive report and heartfelt pov on the jw organization.
Glad to hear of the video's exposure
ok. let me first start by saying i am not a flat earther.
i like most on here will have the same view most will have here about our planet.
in saying that however, i am incredibly gob smacked by the book written by eric dubay called 'the flat earth conspiracy'.
I recall seeing a video years ago that examined the assertions of the Flat Earth Society. I recall their ideas seemed rather odd and contrary to reason and evidence. I most recall the flat earth woman who wandered off to find the edge of the world in the wasteland of Antarctica, alone. She was never seen again.
She most certainly found the edge but the earth isn't flat.
have you seen this?.

i know there's another thread about this specially talented musician's passing- but this guy was a torch carrier from the old bluesmen like muddy waters, howlin wolf, john lee hooker, and lightnin' hopkins who made chuck berry millions of $$$$$$ and collaborated with rock n rollers like bono of u2 .
these old bluesmen from the 1940's deserve all the credit for the babv that the blues ended up giving birth to- rock and roll music.
any comments are appreciated and welcome for b.b., music, or the blues in general pour your heart out.
Yea, an original music legend is gone.
The King is dead. Long live the King.
when my niece was very little (over 20 years ago), barely walking or talking, my mother decided to teach her "where jehovah lives".
she would coach her and say, "where does jehovah live?
" in a sing-song voice.
Indeed.
Probably moved to the Andromeda Galaxy since. Heard she was beautiful, and not too far away.

You could've said that he used to live in the Pleides star cluster on/near the star Alcyone, but new light forced him to move and he has since been of no fixed address.
You wouldn't have been lying.
