Totally agree.
Huge break from Sat morning meeting for FS until it actually started on the afternoon. Loads of chatting (up) and walks into local town. When you were little it was down to the park in Hamilton beside the town hall.

46Circuit Assemblies in the "Good Old Days"
by BluesBrother injust been reminiscing about how c/a's have changed since we were young.
i remember when they started friday night in some rented hall , as well as the two weekend days.
saturday morning was a brief session then field ministry (which only a few performed ) and sunday sessions.. in the free time around the venue we just used to hang out socialising and eyeing up the girls.

Infinity versus nothing
by Fisherman insome people like to believe in something others believe in nothing; so in what location did the substance that expanded into the time/space universe exist before the big bang?
where did the energy that caused the big band come from?
how did the substance that became the big bang change from being inert and sterile and come to life to having the properties and drive that it does?

an amazing feat (which shows consideration for others), a superb loving act that it could not have learned from even humans.
Your ignorance of ethology is amazing. Do you get your natural history knowledge from Disney?
Do some research on why cats cover up their shit. It has nothing at all to do with being polite. It is an evolutionary adaption related to dominance.

A serious question for any who believe in any God of any religion who think God is interested in humans.
by smiddy inthe world health organization states that in the year 2015 ,5.9 million children died under the age of 5 years of age.. in 2010 the death rate for children under the age of 5 years of age was 7.6 million.
thats over 13 million in just 2 years .
i dont think you need to be a rocket scientist to conclude that since mankind has been on the earth for however long you want to believe and i`m just going on a conservative estimate of 6000 years by the above figures i quoted their would be billions of children under 5 yearsof age that would have died.

that does not mean God does not exist
Yes it absolutely does mean that the god of christian theism - the god and father of Jesus - does not exist.

Excluding God from the picture doesn't solve that central problem or mystery. - SBF
Excluding god eliminates a foolish distraction. God adds absolutely nothing to the conversation.
Of course why is there something rather than nothing is the ultimate question. Superstitious people who pretend they know the answer have nothing useful or even interesting to say.

only God can answer
That's a non-answer. It's no different from the way our ancestors believed that thunder was caused by the gods.
It's also the best you can hope for from a Brahma Kumaris apologist.

Seriously? Slamming doors, spilling a drink and shouting? Wow - Simon
My thoughts too.
Historically Scotland has a problem with drink-fuelled domestic violence. The Holyrood matriarchy have declared war. Common sense and police discretion are no longer an option.

Serpent in the Garden of Eden is not Satan
by anointed1 inmany interpret serpent in the garden of eden as the satan hence miss the whole point because satan himself does not exist.
he is a fictional character [for example, in the temptation account, satan is shown as reflecting the erroneous belief of ancient time that shape of earth is flat, thus taking jesus to the top of “a very high mountain” and showed him “all the kingdoms of the world and their splendor.” (mathew 4:8, 9) the fact that jesus did not correct the mistaken view of satan shows the account of temptation is allegorical.
further, jesus knew that satan was only a personification of evil (mathew 16:23; john 6:70) and categorically declared that “all evil thoughts proceed from one’s heart,” not from satan.

As JW's we denied the Christian doctrine of an inherent fallen nature,
A sick and dehumanising dogma.
Parents who tell their children that they are fallen sinners are guilty of emotional and mental abuse.
