  Atheist: What words of comfort do you give when you find out someone is terminally ill?

  by cyberjesus in

  i found out someone i know is terminally ill. before i would put my jw hat and give them comfort from the bible and the hope of resurrection.

  but now that i dont believe in paradise nor in heaven what do you say to someone who is terminally ill and still has some religious beliefs?.

  Let’s face it whatever we personally choose to believe none of us know for sure what happens when we die so why cause more pain to others at such a time.

  We all feel regret about forcing JW nonsense in people faces in the past so let’s not make the same mistake with whatever new belief we now have.

  Perhaps rather than worrying about what is to come we should make the most of now, show the person they are loved and that we are there for them.

  Don't bicker, you words reminded me that though miss guided I think Russell believed what he started, while Rutherford I am not so sure. However, there is no excuse for those now in control.

  The next question I think is if you were in charge of a religion that you knew was a load of bull, but had tons of money in the bank what would your next move be?

  “hell is other people” has always been misunderstood. It has been thought that what I meant by that was that our relations with other people are always poisoned, that they are invariably hellish relations. But what I really mean is something totally different. I mean that if relations with someone else are twisted, vitiated, then that other person can only be hell.

  Why?

  Because…when we think about ourselves, when we try to know ourselves, … we use the knowledge of us which other people already have. We judge ourselves with the means other people have and have given us for judging ourselves. Into whatever I say about myself someone else’s judgment always enters. Into whatever I feel within myself someone else’s judgment enters. … But that does not at all mean that one cannot have relations with other people. It simply brings out the capital importance of all other people for each one of us.

  I think Spawn will say it’s always worth it from his point of view since I have professional training as a masseuse, but sadly I have to agree with Terry most men need some instruction.

  Still he has improved over the years.

  I am having a hell of a time and really need a hug.

  Looking after both parents in bed with stomach bug plus taking care of my 5 week old baby and desperately hoping the bug does spread.

  As You've Gotten Older Have You Changed Your Thoughts On Marriage?

  by minimus in

  2. friends

  many witnesses got married at a young age (because they felt they had to).

  you can't sin, right?.

  some people get married and for years, are very happy.

  I have always thought and still do that marriage is a really big commitment that should not be rushed into. This is not based on any religious ideas, but for two reasons:

  1. You are making a promise to this person to always love and be with them whatever may happen, that’s a big promise so you had better be sure that you can live up to that.
  2. You are agreeing to a legal contract that gives this person certain rights in your life and you in his.

  Personally I like being married, but I don't think it’s for everyone.
