No! No! No! This can't be true? brexit? No!

by purrpurr in

it seems britain has voted to leave the eu in a move of total madness!

the markets are already in free fall and the moronic bigots who campaigned for this are celebrating the demise of our country .. i can't see how a 49-51% split can be democratic?

there is still the postal vote to come in, maybe there's hope in that?

Headline tomorrow

If the above headline is true, this is turning into the biggest political cluster f**k ever.

I really wouldn't be surprised if this whole thing fizzles out. Remember the referendum was advisory. Unless Article 50 is triggered, we don't leave.

If these are any indication things could happen pretty fast. Maybe months rather than years.

But who wants to trigger Article 50 and make this happen?

so britain is leaving the european union (eu).. the governing body of jehovah's witnesses have over the past year moved the majority of its european activities to the control of watchtower britain and the ibsa primarily because of britain's membership with the eu.. further, the incorporated pseudo-political lobby group, european association of jehovah's christisn witnesses, based in brussels, is administered by watchtower britain and its officers.

.

expect major changes in the structure of watchtower..

I'm interested in hearing what Obama says today.

If it really is the end of the special relationship, and the UK goes back to the queue as he says, then bye bye Anglo American World Power.

Another failed WT prediction right there.

what say you.

Does the idea that there is one "correct" way of looking at situations or aspects of the world deserve respect?

Yes - if that way is based on observable evidence.

Why do people need religion in this century?

by sweetgrass in

i think people need religion because of fear.

fear of death and what will happen at death if they have been good or bad.

people say it gives them hope but is this not born too out of fear of not seeing dead loved ones again, or having a better life in the afterlife?

wizzstick

Our generation is on the verge of another great religious evolution.

Yes it is - the best evolution possible

Good question.

No. Because all the evidence points to this not being true.

To wilfully ignore evidence results in my lack of respect.

It's like being asked to respect someone who actually believes in fairies. Why would you?

slimboyfat joins the Mormons!

by slimboyfat in

i know that some people on the board have experience of being mormons, so i would be interested in your feedback.

at church this afternoon it was an uncanny experience.

in the past i've read a lot about mormons, so i thought i was prepared in general for what it would be like.

Another group of Sky Fairy believers.

Life is too short to waste on yet more fantasy nonsense.

i just tried to go to the site and there is a goodbye message.

i was a member there since 2010. i was really surprised.

i had just started posting there again after being away for a while.

I understand the sudden cut-off may not be elegant, but we contemplated on a lot of fall-out, if we had made an announcement well ahead of time.

I totally understand the desire to move on.

But really, it would have been nicer to give a weeks notice so people could exchange contact details.

Could you not just close the forums for any future postings and re-open the site for a week to allow people to pick up contact details and take note of important research threads?

Please?
