Misquote in the Creation Book
by ILoveTTATT inmy dad came into the jw's because someone studied the "creation" book with him.
it pains me deeply that he sent me an e-mail recently saying that to keep the peace with my mom, he will stop communicating with me as much as possible.
i should communicate with him only if i have an emergency.. it upsets me to no end, but i cannot do anything or much about it.

If you reject the existence of the soul then you are an Animist?
by Seraphim23 inthe classic debate between those who believe that consciousness is merely the result of the operation of the brain, and those who believe that it is apart from the brain, like the idea of a soul or the classic dualistic distinction between mind and body, is a well-known one.. however the thought has occurred that when people try to convince me that the soul cannot be real; soul in the sense of consciousness being a separate thing to the operation of the brain, then really the materialistic non spiritual view is in fact a rehash of animism, strange as that might sound.. animism is the idea that soul, spirit, consciousness, or whatever it might be called, exists in plants, animals, things, objects, places or basically in everything and anything in the material world.
the view of some is that very primitive cultures had this wide category of spiritual belief, which eventually evolved into the all the religions, faiths and spiritualties of today.
some of the faiths of modern times are not defined as animistic because these draw a distinction between soul and body or in modern parlance, consciousness and brain.. so in very ancient times, at the dawn of human spiritual belief, the sun, for example, rising and setting was seen not so much as being caused by the proverbial spaghetti monster but as being the proverbial spaghetti monster.

The title of this thread should have been:
If you accept the existence of the soul then you are an utter fool.

Do you think the age has passed when there can be no new religions?
by truthseeker ini think we are already living in the age where there can be no new religions.
we have access to information like never before and anyone claiming revelations of something new and starting a whole new religion can easily be discredited.. christianity and islam may continue to subdivide but i think we've pretty much seen the end of anything new in terms of a new belief system.. .
what are your thoughts on this?.

If people will willingly pay over and over again to see this guy stare at them then it just proves there is a limitless supply of stupid people gullible enough to believe anything, so yes there will always be believers in any old twaddle.

Are you factoring the date of 2008 which was around the crash, surely property prices fell after that bubble burst?
I'm not saying all is well with this deal, I'm saying it may not be as bad as it 1st appears.

£1m for a house in Wales - that's nothing compared to £16m in Barnet
by PaulWrightson72 inthe ibsa spent 6m buying two plots of land near wt house and spent another 10m on building and fitting out the flats.
since there are only 15 flats there, that works out at over 1m/flat - and these are 2 bedroom flats only.
similar flats nearby are marketed to the very top of the market.

'Peace and Security' - What do you think?
by startingover13 inwoke up this morning to my cnn app alerting me that popel francis has called for peace in the middle east, and is making arrangements to meet with leaders in that region to promote tolerance and acceptance.
i've been out for almost a year now, inactive for almost two, but in that moment all of the jw teachings about the signs on the end, the cry of peace and security, and what would happen to those that aren't serving jehovah returned to me.
24 years of teachings are hard to forget, and reading the story on cnn.com didn't help the situation.

You forgot the "international roadmap to peace" that was supposed to bring "peace and security" to the Israel Palestine situation by October (what else?) 2005.
Yeah it came to nothing and is just a forgotten footnote in the UN workbook.
