  Pop Culture From Younger Generation Being Followed By Older Generations.

  imagine yourself as a young generation dressed up in today's pop culture style, listening to today's popular music and have a pop culture phrases such as "dude", "chill" "l33t", "epic fail", "fo shizzle", etc.

  you get my meaning.. now imagine a 80 year old trying to stay on top of today's pop culture with his pants below his waist with his underwear showing, along with some bling - bling, bangin' to today's popular music, etc.

  (ew, i think i just threw up a little).. how do you guys feel seeing older generation trying to "get with it" in terms of language, clothing style, music and everything else that's considered "cool" in today's pop culture?.

  I like it more than when they push their own out of date fashions on the youth.

  Do I understand the JW version of resurrection???

  hello, my wife is on again, off again studying with the jws.

  i have done a lot of reading and research into the wts and want to see if i understand this correctly.. ok, the wts believes that jesus 'returned invisibly' in 1914 and threw satan out to the earth, and in 1975, wait 1994, soon, very soon, we are in the last days of the last days, armageddon will take place.

  when this happens, faithful jws will either go to heaven, if of the anointed remnant or remain living on an earth which they will make a paradise over the next 1000 years.

  "In a sense, if a JW is concerned about people having a chance at life on paradise earth, they would have a better salvation rate by killing householders than by trying to start a study....."

  Let's hope they don't figure that one out, otherwise they might just start doing it!

  Hello Andersoninfo - who writes the current WT ,mags?

  2. beliefs

  or is that top secret?

  i mean you probably have the connections but can't post these names because of a betrayal of trust even though you might be regarded as super apostate in the bethell circle of friends.

  i was a witness for the first 25 years of my life and i always thought that the wt mags were written by the fds.

  I can understand people believing in a grand designer, but why the leap...

  by Psychotic Parrot in

  from the grand designer to jesus?.

  people always justify belief in god by saying that the universe needed a creator to balance out the fundamental forces & set things in motion, etc... or in other words an intelligent first cause (who designed the designer though?)....

  but how do we get from this ambiguous grand designer to the judeo christian god, or jesus, or al lah?

  It's always confused me that if Satan is the evil one, why is it that God is the one everybody is scared off

  I'm not really talking about this from a historical perspective, as that is pretty well understood. I mean from a personal perspective. Because my dad for example cites the 'grand designer' idea as why he took to religion. But i've never fathomed how he got from believing in a grand designer to the world of dubdom...

  I was just wondering what the middle ground that leads from one to the other might be, but the more i think about it, the more i come to realise that perhaps that middle ground simply doesn't exist & it is purely delusion that leads from one to the other. Certainly those who claim Jesus 'spoke' to them are suffering a major delusion.

  And of course, as already mentioned, it is more likely that people start with Jesus/God/al Lah/Elvis (although this wasn't the case with my dad) and then use the 'grand designer' as a way of justifying it later on.

  But how do we get from this ambiguous grand designer to the Judeo Christian God, or Jesus, or al Lah? Where is the middle ground?

  If science is only beginning to unlock the mysteries of the universe & the beginning of time, then how could the middle eastern dudes living 1000-4000 years ago know so much? Why did they deserve divine intervention?

  I think that it's fair enough for someone to believe that the universe was created by an intelligent force (although i personally see no reason to believe that as of yet), but to make the leap from that to Jesus (for example) is where it all falls down for me.

  Jesus sounds like he was a cool guy, but nothing more than that really, just a hip little revolutionary who made a big impression on a handful of people who later became influential. And for me personally, Christianity as a philosophy was fucked up the moment the prissy apostle Paul started meddling in things. And as for the other major religions... just LOL

  for all those that read my post from the other day, i have been asked that if i am to miss any meetings i must call one particular elder per his request.

  so on sunday i woke up and decided to stay home from the meeting and test my theory that this guy is on a power trip.

  i "had a headache" which in all reality was a small hangover from the night before.

  Your answer was pretty good actually, the subtlety will have made an impact i'm sure.
