oh wow..... the public talk today is certainly embarrassing for witnesses!.
started (completely left field too...seemed to come out of nowhere) with condemning homosexuality, and anyone who even tolerates it.
if you like tv shows or movies with gay characters, you are "just as bad" (eg modern family tv show).
I'm feeling lazy as it's 7:14am here and i'm in bed...... Matt2414 what is the original rendering of the term in the NWT "men who lie with men"?
apparently, the carvakas in anceint hinduism were materialists and skeptics, arguing that consciousness ends with the death of the body and that therefore we should take pleasure in this life while we possess it and practice compassion toward others.
they also argued that direct observation is the only certain way to know anything, and thus the existence of supernatural forces and realities cannot be established and must be rejected.
I hate Stoopoopity.
today i feel the need to write.
it been 3 years out of the borg and my life has been wonderful since then.

Chin up, you escaped a mind control cult.
Any hot ex JW women in Wales (or Hampshire area because that is where i am originally from) is what I want to know, LOL
Sorry couldnt resist...
flowers were attached to the gates of the kingdom hall--ryde i o wight uk today in memory of keith playford, who lost his life aged 28 for want of a blood transfusion.
he was survived by 2 daughters.
although this kh was no way connected with him--it is the nearest to his neice--who placed the flowers in his memory.. .
I hope she tweeted that to the usual suspects (the atheists with massive followings) and gets some retweets, otherwise it's a bit small scale for just the bro who opens the gate and the passing pedestrians.
But still a nice touch.

DOC, and he lapped it up with the universal hoover of confirmation bias.

Consciousness is produced by the brain (which is part of the body), so when the body/brain dies, consciousness goes on.
So the answer to the question is no: consciousness does not end with the death of the body.
That HAS to be satire, 'cause it makes absolutely zero sense.

People share their knowledge and you totally ignore it. Rinse and repeat.
Are you recruiting for any particular cult?
besides having to sit through endless boring meetings during the evenings when they should be in bed getting their necessary rest for school the next day, they are falling asleep in the chairs with their little heads falling over.
then all their fun is taken away by such a strict religion and a desert god which makes them grow up with no self esteem whatsoever.
they tell them they're all sinners from the womb up and only a rod will remove it.
Yep I agree and it's very sad. I wish there were laws to prevent children being indoctrinated into cults.
