How do you keep your hopes up while in this doomed existence?
by sabastious incoming from aguest's thread where she showed us the article that describes a "brain drain" that has been occuring for centuries do to "mutations" i can't help but be a little fed up with how much negativity comes from the land of science.
sure, facts are facts and they do not set out to sound good or bad, but instead of identifying the problems of doom, like our brains are devolving, why not focus on the solutions to those problems?
where are the hopes and dreams that our culture so desperately holds onto which actually provides the drive to progress towards them.

Analysis of anti-607 BCE Rebuttals
by Ethos ini agreed yesterday to engage in the '607' topic.
i've read numerous threads and am well aware that this topic has been addressed and dissected quite thoroughly.
therefore, if you are uninterested in participating, that's fine.

If you're going to have an afterlife, why worry about solar flares or any earthly problem? It's all temporary, a brief period.

You can expect her to assume you're having an affair with another woman.
Please read Steve Hassan's books. Never discuss doctrine.

Life has whatever meaning you assign to it.
Shit happens and then you die.
Why worry about things you cannot change? Billions have lived and died.

Question?
by Ethos infirst of all i'd like to apologize on behalf of my "college dropout" thread.
i intimated it as a humorous and somewhat true form of sattire.
i didn't think people here would take it so seriously and literally.

Why does the WT Society practice Information Control, forbidding members from publicly reading and publicly discussing "apostate" literature?

Do JWs Still Feel The Need To Understand Their Teachings Or Have They Pretty Much Abandoned That Idea?
by minimus ini think most jws do not know how to explain their religious beliefs.
i don't think they could explain their views of 607 b.c.e.
, 1914, any prophetic bible books, the old vs. the new fds understanding, the blood fraction reasoning, etc.. do you think the average witness is able to explain from the bible why they believe things as they do?.

Protection/maintenance of "status" is more important than understanding the current dogma.
It doesn't really matter *what* the doctrine is, so long as you profess to believe it as The Truth.

00DAD: It has been my experience that most of the people who participate here believe they will ditch 1914.
