I don't believe in it, but it's a very romantic idea that I find charming as all get out.
It is perhaps a wishful thinking kind of thing.
Perhaps a few lucky people are able to make it into a self-fulfilling prophesy.
Maybe I should try that.

Imputation- do you agree?
by Lillith26 inimputation is the concept that we are all sinners because of the original sin of adam.
and our only redemption is found in the sacrifice of christ on the cross/stake.
imputation implies that guilt passes from person to person from generation to generation, and redemption is passed from christ to us.

A great deal of research in genetics and genetic markers over recent years strongly suggests the answer to be NO.
If there were any genetic markers for SIN, we would have found them by now. Consider the human genome project and all of its findings - no sin markers noted.
There is no scientific evidence for it, and I doubt it will be found, for the same reason no evidence of the flying pink unicorn is likely to be found:
it's nonsense.

WT Society Makes JW's Feel Bad about Themselves - No Self Worth
by flipper ini have noticed this a lot in attitudes of witness relatives i've talked with over the last few years , as well as other former witness friends i have talked to.
many witnesses feel bad about themselves due to having it drilled into them that we are all " sinners " who allegedly inherited " sin and imperfection " from adam and eve .
that essentially humans are " born dead " or in a " dying " condition due to alleged " inherited sin " .

The helpless, hopeless pessimism of my own family is infuriating. The impossibility of convincing them that they could make a difference in the world through civic engagement, voting, volunteering, DOING something besides preaching -- overwhelmingly frustrating.
Last time I had an online discussion with a witness friend of the family, I could not believe how negative he was about getting involved in anything outside of work, because every one has an agenda and it's all like some conspiracy of satan to control us . . . so frustrating . . .

This guy's wife made him go out and buy separate pots and pans so he could cook the cicadas:

Supposedly, they taste like almonds or potatoes . . .

I saw a show once where people were cooking and eating cicadas, and when you said locusts and described the buzzing, I thought "cicada" instead of grasshopper.
Anyway, people eat them, too. I thought I would pass out watching that . . .

PLEASE DO NOT DRINK and DRIVE!!!!!!!!!
by thepackage inas a young adult, i did many stupid things in my life, including becoming a jw.
however, that decision only hurt myself and not others.
i was ignorant and to a certain extent fooled.

HL - The reason it happens so much is that the first thing to go is your judgment, NOT your coordination, so many people misjudge that they are "okay to drive."
That's why just don't drink and drive is the best rule . . . regardless of what your judgment or lack of it tells you . . .
thepackage - I am so sorry for your loss!
