so i had a discussion with my mother about this, and she claims that because of this that: "we are surely living in the last days right now" while i must admit myself that the situation seem chaotic, i don't want to believe that it is the last days.

so question is, how do i face an opinion like that?

I am in my fifties now and things in the human,animal and plant world haven't changed much since I was a kid. In the human world things seem to get better for a while, our technology gets better our knowledge of diseases and how to alleviate them gets better but then a new disease comes along or our primordial instincts kick in conflict arises and the subsequent flood of refugees fleeing war torn areas and religious extremism begins and everyone rushes out to help them. The same story keeps recycling itself over and over and it has since biblical times.

Just as in the plant and animal world some species thrive for a while because of their environment then die out when conditions change and others adapt and continue thriving and it seems we humans have the unique ability to adapt and not change but still thrive it's really amazing when you think about it,

i'm interested to know if anyone has been to see a medium/clairvoyant since leaving jw's.

i must admit now i can make my own choices i seem to have a fascination with it although haven't acted on it as a) am i just jumping into believing another load of rubbish?

and b) what if it really is the demons pretending to be loved ones!!

My wife is always reading horrorscopes and listening to fortune tellers on tv ect. She was born and raised a Catholic and has never been a Witness so I guess all religious cults have a similar affect on their members. I treat it all as poppy cock and it frustrates her sometimes LOL. I will wholeheartedly back any soothsayer or fortune teller that can successfully give me the next winning numbers in the Lotto 649 in advance. Barring that they are funny to watch sometimes and see all the people they draw in and watch how serious they are taken.

It's no doubt offensive to the gay couples in question but she's not a danger to gay people.

This is true but she is not doing her job. The firefighter does not get to screen the ones they rescue they just do their job. Same with the police or a court officer. Weather or not she is a danger to or is offensive to gay people is irrelevant.

Kaik:Refugees that are rioting in Greece, Hungary, Czech Republic and demand higher allowances are nothing more than hostile invasion

I agree that many of them are as evidenced by the television scenes I saw today. Many of the "refugees" were violently demonstrating they did not appear to be the humble refuge seekers that they want us to think they are.

I appreciate hearing from you as you are close to the events happening and it's nice to have your perspective.

bloody religion !!! how could any sane people do this - 2 girls to be raped as a punishment for their brother's "crime."

been sitting on this for a few days, confining my anger, to an area where i can control it.. two indian sisters to be raped as 'punishment' after brother eloped.

two sisters in india - one aged only 15 years - are to be raped as "punishment" for their brother running away with a married woman from a higher caste in the latest case to shock the country.meenakshi kumari, who is 23, and her younger sister, will then be paraded naked with their faces blackened through the streets, according to a ruling from the all-male village council.. the family are from the dalit caste, historically known as "untouchables".

however, the brother fell in love with a woman from the higher, jat, caste.

The caste system in India is steeped in the religious bigotry of extremists Hindu and Muslim belief.

It's no wonder when I meet people from India they are generally happy about being here.

The best analogy about this is that of a firefighter. If she was a firefighter would she refuse to drag a member of the LGBT community or a member of the governing body for that matter out of a burning building? Of course not! She should just do her job.

Debating evolution, intelligent design and cosmology with a JW

by Thestumbler83 in

ive been having an email exchange with a jw family member and the discussion seem to have become a bit heated and im not quite sure why.

i dont think ive said anything obviously offensive and ive been very careful with my wording.

but i think im sometimes a bit tone deaf with these things.

He is 60 and has only been a witness for 20 years. Even though he is an elder he only became a witness at 40.There may be hope for him but probably not from anything you could say. Fathers can be funny that way. Keep showing him respect and ask him the occasional question to make him think.

truthseeker, this type of thing is quite real in other parts of the world.

I know that's why I said I would hope.

Sounds like something right out of the Hebrew Scriptures to me.
