Was Anna Nichol Smith a symbol of the wrongs in society?

by free2beme in

jw
friends

i just recently got back from maui, hawaii ... so if i am late to the party on this subject, sorry.

i just unplug from information, while on vacation.

although, while there we did hear that anna nichol smith died.

Well I just can be sad for her and those who really loved her (if any for real - I just hope so) ... whatever she did ... ...
People are talking how about how to survive in this jungle of the life and our society is just getting crazy about how to get what. That's what she got : early DEATH (maybe no true love in her entire life) for being a follower of the easy way to fake hapiness (in being beautifull - cause she was beautifful). I'm feel sorry for her ...

Need Some Education On EVOLUTION? Start Here! Perry & Axal take note!

by Seeker4 in

perry started a thread on evolution/atheism, which from his very first post showed an incredible ignorance of evolution and natural selection.

axal's comments on the thread were just asinine - how all the atheists in his area were at the strip clubs fighting over women and fornicating!

i have to say that i live in a small town and have been here for half a century, and i couldn't name five people that i know here who are atheist.

Sixy, did you read me?

I mean, I know my english and spelling is awfull but if there is someone from this board I've talked a lot with already it's you ... and about this topic ... I'm just fed up with it ... I'd rather have a big laugh rightnow than getting into what really don't matter to me at this point there is really nothing to add.
So right now can you just forget about this please?

OH MY ... Prolog2 this looks so sincere ...

I've wanted to PM you right then when I've read you (I will) but I for once fell like to grabb you and kiss you all over !!! because a plus you have actually been able to state and expressed clearly what I'm thinking about why this can become battle when there is no reason to ... So here another BIG KISS.
What you've said about the reasons why people rather believe in this instead of that, is just what I'm thinking about it, it just works better for them - for there own personnal raison (And I understand it even more from former JW which I know about how bad the religious experience have been spirituality - and JW actually confuse religion/cultic pratice and beliefs / with spirituality).
We all have a spirituality it is moved by what is more important to us (and of course it is related to what works better for us it's just that to me the christian spirituality includes the need to take care about what is better for everybody - and that doesn't mean the same thing for each one of us).
Eddited for last add : So to me being christian is not a question of religion but State of mind (anyone can call it the way he wants)

Ok this is probably my last post on this thread.
Since there is no proof I could just enjoy the way the whole thing have handled by every sides. (and the name calling was very interesting to notice and just a pity) ... and the only onces which stand are those who can stay in the midlle (WE DON'T KNOW FOR SURE)

Wherever it leaded : Hate or Love (well that a bit too strong a guess ) it's all about I'm right and you are wrong (but again NO PROOF) and the Ego got stuck on it like I HAVE TO PROVE he/she is stupid or something alike (but WHAT CAN YOU PROVE?).
Of course this is getting just not interesting at all at the end.
I just didn't want to make it too easy for the evolutioniste side to say we have proved something (YOU DIDN'T) Why? (BECAUSE IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO PROVE IT) just like believers can't prove anything ... PERIOD.

Prolog2
It’s interesting to read that you think you know what we all (as believers) think on the matter (maybe it's what you once thought - I don't know) … It’s like there is only two sides … Well I can tell you that there is not only two sides and only one kind of belief for believers (and I don’t think that I need to prove this – just read this forum)

Living Alone - Love it or Loathe it?

by Crumpet in

well i have been living alone now for a week for the first time in about 6 years and apart from one or two minor episodes i am really really enjoying the freedom of it.

i feel like a weight has been lifted.

i feel free again - a tiny bit lonely at night - but mostly i think i've recaptured that long lost spring in my step.

RAF

I enjoy being along too much … BUT I’m really beginning to working on surrounding myself for lots of reasons and ways,
The most important is that I need to keep more contacts with people (since I'm distrated, I tend to forget about just doing that :keeping contact - it's awfull - I've lost a lot of friends like that - it's dissapointing for them, they just can't understand that it is not related to the fact that I don't care about them - most of the time I feel like it's too late to get in contact again - and I think that I might again forget about them - how awfull to get there twice - but a few do understand that and it's cool maybe because somehow they are alike).
Also because working at home most of the time keeps you away from lots of social interest and interaction for the present and the future. I didn’t want to take this into consideration because of my nature … but it just became not healthy at the end. I even consider now to take a conventional job even it takes away the kind of freedom that I enjoy in my present job (but this decision is also related to the need to have a more important steady wage).
If most of my old relatives/friends were not married with kids and all and that we still could enjoy to meet as often as before … I guess I wouldn’t have really think about surrounding myself more in different ways. So it’s more about the need of steady diversity now.
I have my sister (her house is very tiny = 1 room for 3) which stays in my house very often (but we can't stay together in the same more than a few hours - it's like at some point I can't breath) So this month I reserved her a room here and it's like she's a roomate, so she have the choice go to her home or comming here - Sometimes she just say hello and go in the room. I've also have a friend who stays here too (because he didn't find anywhere to stay at the bigining to be able to work in Paris) and it's like he is not ready to really look for any appartement (the excuse is I'm not sure I'm going to keep this job and want to stay in Paris) I don't care since he is not here very often and understood that the only way to not bother me was to just say hello and get in his reserved room ... and from time to time have a little conversation when we both feel like it ... (and he likes my sister very much LOL) ... it's just cool that way I don't feel overwelmed.

If you ignore what I’m taking into consideration … Again I can’t care less about the fact that you care or not … keep on ignoring and following whatever you want to believe … it is your right anyway to not wondering more thanthat and take theories as proof …

Why do you act as if an uninformed opinion can stand modern science on its head when you know perfectly well from your experience with racists that some opinions are just WRONG and of no worth?

Racisme (ok that's a good example) there was a time when scientists where giving "facts" about the "fact" that "some people" were less evoluate than other - even women versus men (I don't care who said what - but you know it).

If to you this theory from the start is good enough ... Well again what can I say? ... why not? but is it a proof. Is it?

Is my opinion more worthy? I don't know I'm still wondering (I'm not even sur if it is interesting to know and even if we can know it all ... So I won't say that my opinion is the right one (it's a theory - from the same observation : one will say the natural process is creating with a survival process and an other one can say then we might have way more things to deal with at our stage if it was juste that) ... it is my view on the matter NOW.
You are talking to me as if I don't know about evolutioniste statements (part of proof and part of theory) Why? I wonder?
Again is it the "fact" that I'm saying that I'm a believer that make you all think that I do avoid any other proof on any matter? It's weird because I don't. Cause that would be stupid (there's no way to talk against a PROOF).
I'm just fed up with the "We have supportive materiel as theory to be able to state that we are the product of an hasardous developpement" from one cell (some things just do not happen by hasard even with the natural process that we human can make it happen ... wherever it leads - so it's all about the intelligence of the material from the start (God = Essence at matury / not God = a cell at matury) Again it is not fare one from the other (it actually almost means the same to me)

So Now if just knowing that I'm believer leads to any other understanding about the details of my belief ... it means that this detail doesn't allow people to understant my point of view. That's why I'm always saying that details kills the understanding of any concept from its bases.
Understand that I've never stated that I know the truth ... I just believe the concept of God (again from my perspective) does my understanding about this is only related to the bible (OF COURSE NOT) and still wonder about lots of things I just can't stop wondering. but I believe in the spirit ... Why? because to me we have a spirit (my belief) which from any desire to react and create we still have the possibility to say I want this or I don't want this (whether it is possible or not). That's my statement.

TOH : If your behaviour towards others represents the Crown of Evolution, then Man! do I wish it had stopped or side-tracked earlier. Don't let them scare you, RAF, they are just a bunch of loud-mouthers.

Thank you TOH ...

It always amazed me that people think that knoledge is enough (of course it's easy to feel supported by scientists - throwing books in peoples face) ... what about thinking for real on the knowlegde and what we can see and feel ... That's how people find new things ... otherwise we would still have the same knowlegde. So when a scientist can't state that something is a real proof (but only factual theories from some point on evolution processes) I guess that he knows what he is talking about. (But it doesn't seems that obvious for a lot of people).
