3D printing are already real, and will be used in near future to build nanobots in our home as easy as we print stuff in a sheet of paper. And the nanobots will cure all the human diseases, including old age and death.

I think the WT nemesis is the internet.
And they will in great trouble as internet are becoming smart.
There's a lot of information noise on internet, but with the advance of AI we will not have a pain for searching things.
All you have to do is just ask something and you will be fed with precise information.
What you gonna do if the Google machine just show you facts about your religion?

I'm an atheist myself and the only thing I say there's no god and not "there's no hope". WTF?

Religious people are less intelligent than atheists, according to analysis of scores of scientific studies stretching back over decades

study found 'a reliable negative relation between intelligence and religiosity' in 53 out of 63 studies.
a new review of 63 scientific studies stretching back over decades has concluded that religious people are less intelligent than non-believers.. .

The best definition of intelligence to me is:
- Intentional ability to reorganize existent information to create new knowledge.
The best definition of religion:
- I believe because it's absurd.

Speaking only about my personal experience:
Religion dumbed down me.
Science makes me feel what religion promised to me (and never gave me).

More fear and paranoia WT-style! (11/15/13 WT)
by LostGeneration ini usually dismiss the "drinking the kool aid" scenarios that are posted from time to time, but the latest wt has another bit of fearmongering.
the quote from page 20, para 17. elders who are reading this article can draw some useful conclusions from the account we have just considered: (1) the most practical step that we can take to prepare for the coming attack of the assyrian is that of strengthening our faith in god and helping our brothers to do the same.
(2) when the assyrian attacks, the elders must be absolutely convinced that jehovah will deliver us.

The portuguese version does not appear the last "human" part. Only appears the strategic standpoint. The portuguese translators found the statement too absurd. The house is divided.
(3) Nessa época, receberemos orientaçõe da organização de Jeová que salvarão nossa vida, embora talvez não pareçam práticas do ponto de vista humano. Todos nós devemos estar prontos para obedecer a quaisquer orientações que recebamos, quer pareçam fazer sentido de um ponto de vista estratégico, quer não.
The italian version it's very different (no mention of strategic or human standpoint at all):
Tutti dovremo essere pronti a seguirle, per quanto strane possano sembrarci, perché è solo così che potremo avere salva la vita.
Everyone should be ready to follow them, however strange they may seem, because it is the only way that we can save our life.

The Bizarre Free Will
by John_Mann intwo years before i left jw world i came to a strange conclusion about the jw cosmology and the free will doctrine.. basically i came to conclusion that satan is right about the universal sovereign issue.
and i came with that just only using jws premises, no outside apostasy.
i just told to my sister what she thought about it, and she said to me: dont tell anyone about this!.

I just finished a blog post on the topic of Paradox of Adam and Eve, as well as explain how the New World Translation is the ONLY translation that attempts to cover up the mistake:
Very good article Adamah, well written! Clearly Eve was craving for the wisdom contained in the fruit. WT changing substantial portions of bible is beyond dishonesty!
Yup, I agree it's better to 'play in their sandbox', as it were, since you can use their own Bible to show them the illogic and downright mistakes; then the ball is in their court for how to react.
That's the spirit!

But I'm thinking inside the WT box by trying to find a way to simulate and accelerate the JW world and see what would happen if all of that was really true.
And the JW world collapses in itself. And the reason is Gödel's incompleteness theorem (the second one).
Remember my inbox thinking it's just in OP, the other posts are just additional free thinking outside the JW box.
I've tried this method with several JW's and their reactions is simply amazing.
I think this is a powerful method to talk with a JW without discussing external apostasy.
All the premises are well based JW doctrines, so you can freely discuss all of them, even the conclusion 1.
If you have an opportunity to use this method with a JW try to write down and list all the premises, so when the JW resist some conclusion you must point what premise are been neglected.
The most popular objection I'd found it's the "new scrolls".
But even new scrolls can't erase freewill and the discussion continues...

No where does the bible say Adam was created perfect.
Interesting, but the WT take Adam as a perfect human.
If Adam was created perfect he couldnt do anything imperfect. So if Adam was created imperfect only then is it possible to make imperfect decisions. ( Thats how i see it, if i belived in the story)
Yeah, if you use logical reasoning you can throw your bible away at the first story.
But I think the Adam and Eve in the GoE it's a deep universal individualistic dream that appeals most of men.
You are in a garden full of pleasures and no stress, you're forever perfect young, and you have a perfect woman who is a female version of yourself, a female clone, all you have to do is make sex with your perfect female clone and discover an entire effing amazing planet, and you have a supernatural being who knows everything to guide you, something like a conscious strong AI with entire internet as database (think of IBM Watson on Google Glass).
Even in virtual reality I can't think something better than this! LOL!

The question remains WOULD A PERFECT HUMAN IN A GARDEN OF EDEN.....BE ABLE TO DIRECT HIS OWN STEP WITHOUT GOD?
Its like a parent saying to a child "ok its your choice to leave home if you wish and if you think you can survive without me, lets see if you do!" Then burning down the child's house, and daily stealing all their food, beating them in their sleep and making them ill via poison in their water supply , phoning their work and getting them sacked...
Yeah, we can wonder if Jehovah told them about Satan too. Why they listened to a talking animal? Talking animals was normal in GoE? And the snake told them about they not dying in the same day they ate the fruit, and that's was true! Did Adam known about the Jehovah's relative time (1 day for 1000 years)? It was clear they'll have no access to the tree of life (telomerase?LOL) if they eat from the tree of knowledge (internet?LOL)?
imagine you lived the last 24 hours over again, without any knowledge of it being a re-run, everything exactly as it was the first time...
Would you get up at the same time? Eat the same creal? Wear the same clothes? Have the same day?
“The heaviest burden: “What, if some day or night, a demon were to steal after you into your loneliest loneliness and say to you: ‘This life, as you now live it and have lived it, you will have to live once more and innumerable times more; and there will be nothing new in it, but every pain and every joy and every thought and sigh… must return to you—all in the same succession and sequence—even this spider and this moonlight between the trees and even this moment and I myself. The eternal hourglass of existence is turned over again and again—and you with it, speck of dust!’ Would you not throw yourself down and gnash your teeth and curse the demon who spoke thus? Or have you once experienced a tremendous moment when you would have answered him: ‘You are a god, and never have I heard anything more divine!’ If this thought were to gain possession of you, it would change you as you are, or perhaps crush you. The question in each and every thing, “do you want this once more and innumerable times more?” would lie upon your actions as the greatest weight. Or how well disposed would you have to become to yourself and to life to crave nothing more fervently than this ultimate eternal confirmation and seal?” ? Friedrich Nietzsche
