Nothingness
by gravedancer inas one sees the facts of science and learns that evolution is a fact one then begins to look at the collateral effects and circumstances of the human situation and as one of the sojourners who has come down this path i find myself looking at things in a new context.
first the basis of my position is that evolution is true and that the darwinist viewpoint holds true that it is all about survival.
with everything being about survival how do i view the world?

First the basis of my position is that evolution is true and that the Darwinist viewpoint holds true that it is all about survival. With EVERYTHING being about survival how do I view the world? How do I view my place in it? How do I find relevance for me personally?
I dont know the answers to those questions because my heart is interfering with my head..I dont want to know the answers because I fear the meaning of the answers. What do I propose the meaning of the answers is? NOTHINGNESSI am afraid of nothingness.
Fear of nothingness falls into the context of survival too.if we discover nothingness the purpose of our survival instinct is compromised (at least that seems like a logical outcome to me). So our survival instinct places in us a fear of nothingnessit also places in us such things as emotions, desires, cravings, drives, moods, intentions, preferences. These are mental states, how and why are they there? Are they present in other species? Are they present en masse in other species? What purpose do they serve?
Contextually, they are all there to support advanced species such as man. The mental states cause and influence behaviors which protect the individual members and collectives within the species. They are all manifestations of instinct. That instinct is there to mask the nothingness. When you see the nothingness the survival of the species is threatened with change or self destruction.
When you see the nothingness it feels like you have died inside.I hate it!!!!

Moe,
What is the difference between culture and race?
If an English person has a disdain for French people is that racist?
If an Indian hates a Pakistani is that racist?
If an American dislikes a Muslim is that racist?
If a white South African fears for their safety from black South Africans is that racist?
Forget all the poppycock about Racism = ignorance.... Look at reality - live in the situation and see if you can uphold the "purist" views. I bet you can't.

Moe,
Go and live in South Africa with SYN for a year. If you come back as a non-racist I will be very surprised.

Wait on....
by Farkel innothing helps a religion weasel out of the hot seat better than a good arsenal of "back door" words.
the ultimate "back door" expression invented by the watchtower printing corporation is "wait on jehovah" and the purpose of this post is to examine that expression with a microscope.. this expression is always brought out and touted when things are totally screwed-up in watchtowerworld.
"we have a major problem with covering up and enabling pedophiles and expelling the children who are raped by them.

Understanding the Lord's Prayer.
by Bleep infrom the april 1,2002 watchtower.
page 5 and 6.. to see the difference between having an accurate knowledge of the bible and having a passing acquaintance with what it says, let us consider what is commonly called the our father, or the lord's prayer, recorded at mathew 6:9-13.. millions regularly recite jesus' model prayer in church.
but how many have been taught its meaning, especially the first part of the prayer dealing with god's name and kingdom?

Why do you people answer this indolent worm known as Bleep...(a noise commonly used in place of a cuss word).
Just tell the loser to BLEEP off.

Why do you continue to post threads with all caps titles?
Simon has asked us to stop that.
Is the reason you do it because YOUR post has to stand out on merits other than its content, which I agree is drivel?

our distinct personality, The Prime Minister might be found in most of the thriving kingdoms of the time. You are a strategist who pursues the most efficient and logical path toward the realization of the goal that you perceive or visualize. You will often only associate with those people who can assist you in the implementation of your plan. Inept assistants may be immediately discarded as excess baggage. To do otherwise could be seen as inefficient and illogical. On the positive side, you can be rationally idealistic and analytically ideological. You can be a bold decision maker and risk taker who can move society ahead by years instead of minutes. On the negative side, you may be unmerciful, impatient, arrogant, impetuous and impulsive. Interestingly, your preference is just as applicable in today's corporate kingdoms. -

BUSINESSMAN (Dominant Extrovert Concrete Thinker )
gravedancer (aka goose)Like just 3% of the population you are a BUSINESSMAN (DECT). Hide the children and protect the bunnies, basically. In ancient times you would be a deadly barbarian. These days, you're perfect for Wall Street. You prefer concrete thinking to a more creative style, and your direct modes of thought and action help you succeed in whatever you may try to accomplish.
Your forceful and outgoing personality can make you seem like a hothead, but because your mind ultimately rules your heart you rarely let your emotions get in the way of your goals. By the way, think of Genghis Kahn buying seven million pork bellies on the trading market, and then eating half of them, and you have yourself. Good luck.
