It's not a theory, it's a hypothesis.
It depends on if the multiuniverse theory is right or not.

Well try to cross a bullet through your brain and see if quantum suicide is a possible hypothesis.
By this hypothesis you never experience death in first person perspective. Your consciousness just slip to a slightly different universe where your shot fails and you continues to live.

Buddhism is very very very interesting.
To people who feels the need to have a religion I always point to Buddhism.
Even though I appreciate Buddhism as philosophy.

Ray Franz - is he REALLY a hero?
by baltar447 inon one hand, he's enlightnened many to the internal circle jerk that is the governing body (circa the 70s).. but if there's one reason that can be pointed to for the jws becoming full on cult, it's ray franz.
without him leaving in the manner he did, and stirring the pot, they might not have change the rule (retroatively i might add) on shunning of disassociated ones.
they specifically changed that so they could remove him and eliminate his influence.. his actions single handedly have created the situation where we have to fade, evade, leave marriages, say goodbye to family, just because we don't buy the jw bullsh!t anymore.

Yes he is.
The WT reaction is not his fault.
Even if he was aware of the WT reaction, the more weird rules WT creates better to others recognize it as a trap.
The best thing to end the WT would be they try mass suicide.
Sad but true.

What is spirit, exactly?
by Viviane ini've always wondered that.
recently i asked that question on another thread and didn't really get ananswer.
cofty made an excellent point that we often hear what it isn't, but that really isn't useful.. so, what is it?

You can prove scientifically that what you are is just merely atoms, molecules and cells.
Is this all you are?
How do you measure "you"?
Spirit can be equal to consciousness. And consciousness does not exist, it's just folk psychology. Consciousness have the same status of demons. At least in materialism. "You" is just a convention.

It`s the folk conception to the software part of living beings.
Just because software is immaterial they tend to make it a supernatural thing.
Remains to be explained if our software is a local thing full installed in every brain (hardware) or are running in a cloud (like internet) independent from local hardware.
I tend to think our minds (or spirit, software) runs in a cloud. Or at least some part of our software is in a cloud. And I don't think what we call identity can survive the death of hardware. Logically speaking you can't kill something immaterial, so in a sense our software/spirit/consciousness/mind is immortal. Probably in a near future we will be able to not be so dependable in a so fragile hardware, I think we will be able to transfer our softaware from a biological hardware to non biological substrates/hardware. Then we will know a lot more about our software. We are already walking this path with the Blue Brain Project, see the OpenWorm Project too.

The international culture.
The obsession with administrative structure.
The (physical) non violent behaviour.
Even though their premises are nonsense, they have a complex racionalization upon their doctrines. But now the generation stuff are not making sense even if you follow their very premises...
Outside the WT I use my experience in there and my knowledge of a closed world system to make some extrapolations to real world. I use the WT world as a kind of simulation or small scale prototype to understand the big real world (open system). Now I use the WT as my ant colony experiment, I like to make some predictions about their future decisions and compare the results. One strong prediction is the give up the literal interpretation of the 144,000. Another is to stop to print the magazines and keep only the online version. I think they will just print leaflets.

What is the difference between an active JW and a successful FORMER JW?
by Terry inpassionate enthusiasm (where is yours?).
active jw's are pushing the end times boulder up the mountain day after day with an imaginary goal of paradise for their efforts.
the prophetic dates roll over them and crush them again and again.
