The JWs thrive on ignorance. Virgin brains to be mindf***ed.

astrology is in my opinion is illogical and has no scientific basis.
is there any here who could convince me otherwise?.
When the moon is in the seventh house and Jupiter aligns with Mars,
Then peace will guide the planets, and love will rule the stars.
You're dating yourself parakeet. In any case this was supposed to be the Age of Aquarius. What happened to the peace and love?

american dental association now reccomends due to health problems children under 12 not drink tap water with flouride!!!!
even though since the 1950's we were told flouride only helps "young teeth.
" it is chemical waste made from smoke staks while chlorine was a chemical weapon which was found also to clean water.
brinjen: "We can't seem to get the balance right can we? We find something that is useful and we want to use it everywhere... maybe that's where the problem lies."
I totally agree. We have billions of people in a world that had abundance for millions. Whenever something like the human race gets so big it's bound to have negative repurcussions on a planet that is too small. There is a way to get a balance but it involves creating a new type of civilization. Unfortunately I don't think this will happen at least until this one collapses.

Farkel and brinjen, mosquitos evolve resistance to pesticides very quickly. Type out mosquito resistance DDT on Google and see what you get.
Further more it accumulates in animals especially carnivores. The main problem however is the type of agriculture we have. Permaculture techniques would eliminate the need for poisonous chemicals.

schipper, you never answered the post's on your previous topic, and you go and open another topic, go back to your previous topic please.
Pjschipper, are you following men? And yes, they are false prophets. They speak in the name of Jehovah simply by calling themselves his witnesses. Everything else that you have mentioned about running ahead and treating them like representatives of God could be considered blasphemy on your part by those who take Christianity seriously. Christianity is not about where you go but whom you go to.
But a prophet who presumes to speak in my name anything I have not commanded him to say, or a prophet who speaks in the name of other gods, must be put to death."
21 You may say to yourselves, "How can we know when a message has not been spoken by the LORD ?" 22 If what a prophet proclaims in the name of the LORD does not take place or come true, that is a message the LORD has not spoken. That prophet has spoken presumptuously. Do not be afraid of him. (Deuteronomy 18:20-21)

minimus had a great thread recently asking if any who were witnesses felt guilt as a jehovah's witness.
thought i would build on that a little dealing with how you have moved on after being a jehovah's witness ?.
one definition of guilt in the american heritage dictionary is : " self-reproach for supposed inadequacy or wrongdoing ".
I was a JW during my adolescence, eight years. I was a good boy below the waistline, obeyed their rules. But above the neck I had a dangerous mixture of curiosity and integrity. I also couldn't stand their pathological self worship. I believe that a mixture of these characteristics is what prevented me from suffering feelings of guilt or fear. When you finally realize that the organization is a crock of caca you have no reason to be fearful or guilty. Quite the contrary I had courage (Even though I was meek and introverted) and was innocent of any real 'crime'.

one question that stretched theologians during the middle ages was; could god envision or make a four sided triangle or a three sided square or some other atrocity.
at first the problem seems foolish, but it really is an instance of a more fundamental problem: is god bound and limited by the laws of reason and logic or not?.
i've had this conversation on jwd before but i was never satisfied with it.
Nicolaou; omnipotence does not necessarily mean doing anything that pleases you. It simply mean that you have all the power in the universe(Or all of reality) to create and divest yourself of your creation.
