something happened this week to make me think about this again.. it feels like all bets are off and i really don't know what a good person is anymore.. when i left the jws i was so sure i knew what it meant to be a good person.. this has been revised many times since.. i tend to favour the utilitarian approach, the greatest happiness for the greatest number of people.. sometimes you have to stick your neck out and say this is not good for me no matter what others may feel they need from me.. no idea where i'm going with this maybe this is a breakthrough in my life or maybe that glass of wine was stronger than i thought!.
any thoughts?.
Everyone thinks they're good in their own minds. Because you can always justify evil acts by guilting others.
Evil act in my own definition: force someone else to do what it does not want to do.
Good act: be indifferent to other people by default. Always react against evil acts against you. Keep always questioning what is your wants and try to detect what is someone else wants that you think is yours.
if you could list the major themes of the watchtowerland per decade, what would they be?.
for example, 2010-2014: overlapping generation, gb=fds, jw.org, 100 years.
2000-2009: harder stance on higher ed.. 1990-1999: generation no longer a major doctrine.. 1980-1989: getting over 1975, ray franz, year of peace, end before 20th century ends, generation is 70 years old.
1980-1989: Entering 20th century. B&W to color.
1990-1999: Expansion. The 90's (more specifically 1990-1993) was the climax of WT.
2000-2009: Internet is pure evil.
2010-2014: Internet is no more evil, go to JW.ORG
2020-2029: Artificial Intelligence is the Beast of Revelation.
2030-2039: Artificial Intelligence is Jesus Christ.
2040-2049: Singularity is the Armageddon.
2050-2059: Entering 21st century...
been wanting to talk about this for a while... three years ago on this forum my friend cedars brought this up.
let's do it!.

Ray is a richful character.
He preached a interesting and very loose interpretation of christianity, not found in any specific denomination.
Sometimes I think he was a kind of atheist because he discussed fallacies and used them as a mean to detect false teachings. No religious person use fallacy detection as a method because if you follow this method you'll reject the very christianity as false.
He was a very interesting person. It would be great to see a documentary about him in BBC style.

this article is amazing.
there have been other recent articles about reversing aging in mice.
There's already a gene therapy in the market called Glybera.
It's the most expensive medicine in the world.

And that red picture, that looks like a Draconian to me. Those are higher than the grays, which are under the Reptilians.
interesting article.

Buddhism is atheist and doubt-oriented, but have no spirits in it so it can't be spiritual. Same thing to atheism.
Buddhism don't speak about love, but compassion.
And do not speak about spiritual but contemplation.
The human mind exists to contemplate the world. Let the universe teach you first, after that you can play with it.
Be convict that some supernatural being created the universe is a silly belief. The universe shown no sign to be created by a super mind.

Frankie, I thought you're supposed to be the spiritual one here.
I never attacked you, just the silly video you posted.
Pray more for your quantum-hiding-creator to give you more respect to other people.
when i see or hear born again christians calling mormons, jws, 7th day adventists, jews etc; cults i always have wondered is that not the pot calling the kettle black?
i just amazes me how so much in denial bacs(born again christians) are.
they love to condemn and throw stones at others but they will never, never, and i mean never label themselves as cults even though they have some of the weirdest beliefs.
I define a cult by the level of micro management of the believers.
BAC's think every little thing in their lives is a battle between Jesus and Satan.
