Is anything more than an electrical impulse in your brain?
Maybe your just a figment of someone's imagination

When God breaks his own laws
by Nickolas inif one assumes that god made the universe it follows that he made it according to a very complex set of physical laws that determine how things work.
the quest to identify and understand those physical laws is at the very forefront of science and great strides have been made over the past few centuries, in particular during the last century.
we have known for only a few centuries that the earth rotates on its axis and orbits around the sun along with a number of other planets, more recently that the solar system is located in a radial arm of a spiral galaxy swirling around some enormous black hole.

Isn't that strange how slow the JW's move in service. I actually was counseled once I was being too quick.

Are You For Or Against The Death Penalty?
by minimus ini clearly am for it if it's proven without a doubt that a person murdered another in cold blood.
recently, in connecticut, a man was convicted of killing 2 young girls and their mother.
the animal raped them and almost killed the defenseless husband/father who could do nothing while these atrocities were being carried out in his own home!.

Djeggnog,
I always enjoy reading your posts.
"Many Jehovah's Witnesses are professionals like myself and it would be unthinkable of any of us to suggest to anyone of our brothers or sisters that they should not pursue a college degree or a good education, and those who failed to do so were those that bought into the hype (translation: lie) that they were encouraged to do so in order to enter the full-time ministry, which is not true."
My wife lived thousands of miles away from me whilst we were growing up. She could have gone to University and her teachers wanted her to. Her father who was a servant in the congregation had a discussion with her teacher about how depraved the Universities were and how she would not be going as she was a JW.
Another sister, some years back now, when I explained why I could not support the JW teachings without prompting from myself said how she had missed out on an education due to her belief, a few months ago I ran into her and had a chat. She told me how little future they had, no pension and the house not paid up. Her children were her hope. Not the organization. She still believes.
A few months ago I recieved an email from regarding Haiti and this is what it read.
"We suspect not a few of our young brothers and sisters attending universities may have died when those buildings crashed to the grounds with everyone in them. One nice experience--one sister was scheduled to attend a lecture on pyschology n she decided she did not want to hear that stuff. As soon as she got outside the entire structure collapsed before her eyes! Visible proof where 'higher learning' takes you--right into the ground!! Now if any want to attend university--they will have to move to another country--as all their bldgs crashed to the ground!! And believe me--their parents will work to send them there--that is the god they have confidence in--Jehovah is kinda of a sideline one.. Very sad moments--"
These viewpoints. Where did they get them from Djeggnog?
These encouraging ideas that had have been printed in the magazines seem to have had a detrimental effect on many.

Can anyone come up with a morally acceptable reason for waiting thousands of years to end wickedness?
by gubberningbody ini can't.. some bar-bet between jehovah and satan balanced against all the evil allowed just doesn't wash..

"Right now I see "fright all around". This is the world I was born in to, the world I live in and likely the world I'll die in as well. No moral God exists in this world."
We cannot limit God to the world we live in, so we cannot judge his morality by what we see.

gubberningbody,
Thank you. I feel it is our limits of thought on morality rather than an amoral God.
