There is some pretty incredible people out there in the "world"

by LevelThePlayingField in

i am a fan of a video came called simcity and other building games like cities skylines and the such also legend of grimrock.

anyway, as i watch others plays these games on youtube i have noticed that there are some pretty intelligent people out there.

how others can solve the puzzles way better than i can on legend of grimrock and how they can build cities in ways that i had not thought of at all.

Actually the actor ,the musician ,sportsman ,athelete who professes to be a JW and makes it to the top of their profession actually goes against the policy of the religion they profess to belong to.

Do we ever hear of the G,B.distancing themselves from such persons ? No never.

Are they ever sanctioned from making known they are JW`s or associated with JW`s I dont believe so.They want the publicity.

The r&f members are counselled even sanctioned about making a name for oneself or setting oneself up as an Idol or competing with anyone ,yet if anyone does achieve that position the rules seem to change and nothing is done about it or to the persons involved.

The Williams sisters are worth Millions of $$$$$

George Benson must be worth a quid or two. Prince certainly was......$$$$$$

The Governing Body of JW`s by now are worth Billions of $$$$ via Real Estate , Investments ,Stocks ,and off shore accounts in Tax free havens.Not to mention contributions ,Wills left to them ,sales from publications ,Tax evasions due to their dubious charitable status in various countrys,Etc.Etc ,

I`m sure their are a few more I have left out that they are raking in millions $$$$ from.

Not to mention getting volunteer labour to build KH`s and then selling them off for a profit after a few years ,waiving loans to KH`s and then conning them in to giving that same amount back indefinetly .

LTPF , you may not agree but I think that equates to being "smart" in this world as far as making money is concerned .

Is it just me ? 2 threads debating page after page with one individual ?

is it just me who doesnt see the point of this ?

from time to time we see some individual who takes up page after page arguing his or her point of view and it usually ends up with only 2 or 3 individuals who keep the talkfest going with a particular individual and nobodys getting anything out of it .. why bother ?

why get sucked in to such a pointless dialogue ?

Why bother ? Why get sucked in to such a pointless dialogue ? 120 pages , 150 pages or whatever 2 or 3 people going over and over the same claptrap as they have from page 1 , I dont get it !

Is it just me ? who doesnt get it ?

Especially when its an obvious apologist who is violating his/her own religions counsel to even be on here.

Being a Rude Jerk, It's Awesome!

by Simon in

maybe it's a british thing, but we tend to be polite.

too polite.. even if someone is inconsiderate, we apologize as though we did something wrong.. prime offenders?

people in supermarkets, specifically costco.. they have nice wide isles and yet somehow, for some reason, some idiot will find a way to put their trolley sideways and keep a hand on it while reaching for something, thus blocking the entire isle.. or another favorite ... you're going through the entrance and someone just stops, maybe to answer their phone.. how about you wait in a queue at a checkout for ages and when it's their turn, then they start looking for their purse.. how many times have you thought "idiot" or muttered under your breath?.

smiddy

People on the phone when the poor check out chick is just trying to do her job.

People get to the check out chick and then decide to fumble to get their purse or wallet out to pay.

Your in a hurry but the person in front of you decides to have a parley with the check out chick about any and everything but what she is buying . (its never a he )

Friends who meet in the aisle block it and carry on a coversation oblivious to anybody else trying to get past.

Evolution is a Fact Series Index So Far.

by cofty in

i will resume this series soon.. #1 protein functional redundancy comparing the sequences of amino acids in ubiquitous proteins confirms the relationship between all living things..

#2 dna functional redundancy comparison of the dna that codes for the amino acids of ubiquitous proteins predicts the tree of life with an astonishing degree of accuracy..

#3 ervs endogenous retroviruses that infected our ancestors are found in the same place of the genome of our closest primate cousins..

I am going to have to fully study this work thanks cofty for your dedication to this subject.

Who was/is the promised Messiah ? Jesus or Immanuel

by smiddy in

in isaiah 7:14 "therefore jehovah himself will give you men a sign look the maiden herself will actually become pregnant and she is giving birth to a son and she will certainly call his name immanuel".

this scripture is attributed to the virgin birth of jesus from his mother mary to become the messiah.

the problem is the name of the messiah isnt jesus its immanuel .

This scripture is attributed to the virgin birth of Jesus from his mother mary to become the Messiah

The problem is the name of the Messiah isnt Jesus its Immanuel

Their is no prophecy in the old testament that states the name of the messiah would be called Jesus from a virgin birth

Whereas the opposite is true. , Isa.:7 14 Immanuel

Hospice and JW

by Terry Clees in

i am a bereavement coordinator with a hospice company.

i have noticed that most often jw patients decline chaplain care and also the family ends up declining bereavement care.

where i work our chaplains do not proselytize at all...they merely walk with the patient in their faith at the end of life.

smiddy

Terry Clees , you might ask yourself why are aged Jehovahs Witnesses in aged care facilities operated by Christendoms religions who they condemn as apostates destined for destruction by the hand of God/Jesus and not in an aged care home operated by the WTB&TS. ?

Simply because the JW /WT does not care for their aged , or infirm people who have served them for decades they are told to use the options that the government or religious institutions provide whether it be healthcare , pensions ,or hospice.,and age care facilities.Even though they condemn all these as under the influence and part of Satans system of things.

The hypocricy of the Governing Body of Jehovahs Witnesses knows no bounds.

I read in the paper today that The Milky Way and Andromeda Galaxys will colide but it wont happen until 4 or 5 thousand million years , so I dont think I will lose any sleep over it. NASA
