  "remember how you felt in the not-so-good times?

  while we certainly remember what happened, our emotional recall dims with time.

  researchers have found that the mind is biased toward positive emotional memoriesas negative emotions fade faster.

  2. friends

  i've noticed that there are quite a number of uneducated, unaccomplished jw's who seem to take their lack of accomplishment and education as a positive accomplishment.. the proud humble.. .

  that and the constant references to people being too smart leaving the [b]organization.

  "too smart?".

  Why would a transcendent God do anything?

  by gubberningbody in

  2. beliefs

  i'm stuck on that one.

  the answer "love" isn't a serious answer because you can't love without an object (unless it's self love)..

  Thinking out loud about God - searching concavities and convexities

  by gubberningbody in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  before people imagine that "foreign"="more correct" and launch themselves off into eastern religious thought, i think one might consider the book "truth in religion", and "how to think about god - a guide for the 20th century pagan", by mortimer j. adler.

  in the former he examines various religions for the claims each make with regard to "truth" and makes, a good case in my view for a rational analysis of religion as opposed to making affirmations based on emotion.

  in the latter, he makes an analysis of various ways to examine what is meant when people talk about god.. .
