  Demonstrations From the Platform

  good evening, all.... still relatively new here so if i'm posting about a topic that's already been run into the ground, i apologize.

  but i just wanted to acknowledge the typical "demo" we all see at meetings, assemblies and conventions.

  even back when i was a good-goody teen dub, my brother, friends and i would jokingly refer to demos as "5-minute illustrations on how to say 'no.'".

  I confirm it too. I think it was in a circuit convention somewhere in 2008 and if I am not mistaken, the theme of the convention was something like "Jehovah, the great potter". Or something like that.

  Death is a fact and it is the unstoppable reality. Nothing can escape from death. Eternal life is just an illusion. Life after death in an illusory Heaven is another illusion.

  Belief in the Afterlife - where do you sit on the scale?

  by jgnat in

  i am three-quarters through the book, the time paradox: the new psychology of time that will change your lifeby philip zimbardo and john boyd.

  it is taking longer than usual because i am earnestly applying the exercises as they appear in the book.

  which means i have to be ready to change my habits...but enough about me.. zimbardo's argument throughout the book is that a person's time perspective deeply impacts their choices and their ability to be happy.

  As soon as our brains die, we die and our body minerals decompose and return into the Earth's crust. We are nothing before we are born and we are nothing after we die. And in the grand scheme of the Universe, we are also nothing while we live.

  Yes, it is. Other requirements are: wear magic panties, mumble in tongues, worship the cross, deny evolution, believe in the Flood, believe in fantasy-books, believe that Jesus is Jay Hoover, hate the Smurfs, do not eat or transfuse blood, hate any non-believer, believe in Hell, believe that Satan is guilty for every bad thing you do, do not masturbate, do not fornicate, and especially contribute money to your religion.

  ark of covanant... idol worship?

  by chase in

  what was the difference between priests communicating with the ark and the pillar that daniel and co. refused to worship?.

  I don't know if it's a official doctrine of the JW, but these kind of stuff were explained to me this way:

  The Israelites worshipped the Ark during their transition period, from the Egyptian gods to Jay Hoover. They were idolaters and Jay Hoover used the Ark as a sort of pacifier, in order to make them suck from his tits.

  If she was offered a job as an all around sex-slave for Osama, then I guess she could make 3000 euro a month. But she would have to be damn good!

  Prince is a good example of double-standard appliance. He can do things we could not do and still remain a JW. He's a special case, a PR facade. If they DF him because he dated an unbeliever and went to court her without chaperones, all the newspapers would write about that and everyone would know about their stupid religious doctrines. We were not allowed that kind of liberty.

  i know this is minor, but it bug me and i wonder if any fellow atheists have noticed it to.

  Well, sometimes it's better to capitalize. For example, in the next phrase: "He [OBVES] knows he's not His [God's] prophet; he [OBVES] is just throwing numbers. Maybe one day He [God] will get fed up and kick all the religious nuts in their nuts".
