i've been given permission to post news of our friend.. kate hasn't been very well.
not well at all.
i think much of it has been a delayed reaction to her df'ing, the general fallout when leaving the wtbs and family issues.. i just wanted to give you guys the heads up and give you a chance to show how much we care about her.. thanks for listening..
It's beyond obvious that she have some serious psychological issues.
Lately I was avoiding any interaction with her even not reading her posts anymore (tec and villagegirl too).
When several people keeping telling you to search a therapist it's better to you to listen.
I hope she recover soon from whatever happened with her.
pope francis assures atheists: you dont have to believe in god to go to heaven.
http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/pope-francis-assures-atheists-you-dont-have-to-believe-in-god-to-go-to-heaven-8810062.html.
in comments likely to enhance his progressive reputation, pope francis has written a long, open letter to the founder of la repubblica newspaper, eugenio scalfari, stating that non-believers would be forgiven by god if they followed their consciences.. responding to a list of questions published in the paper by mr scalfari, who is not a roman catholic, francis wrote: you ask me if the god of the christians forgives those who dont believe and who dont seek the faith.
a transcendant being resides as a glob of cellular matter in a woman's body for nine months stitching together a human without the dna of a male human being.. the being is squeezed out of the vaginal canal of his host/mother and has to poop and piss on himself for a couple of years.
what is wrong with this picture?.
the consciousness of the fetus would be what, then?.
The start of your consciousness does not coincide with your birth.
In a practical sense the brain predates the consciousness. But I think consciousness is an inherent property of the universe and it makes crude matter to aggregate complexity to the possibility of a direct interaction of mind upon matter.
I think the mind is more important than the brain. We just have to find a way to harbour the mind with some better substrate. Nature used an egg like substrate to keep something of higher value. Now is our turn to design something better like nanobots to replace our neurons.
I think we are the first conscious beings in this universe. Now is our fate to fill it with intelligent life (not necessarily human life).

Interpretations and interpretations here comes a few...
Jesus did not poo and piss, all of what he ate was transformed in thin air (sublimation). But we can imply he had a lot of farts...
Jesus was full incorporated (mind+body) at the moment of his baptism, until that he was a kind of perfect human body running on BIOS. That's the reason why the lack of information of his youth before baptism.
Jesus possibly was delivered through Mary's ears or from a magical belly hatch! I'm not kidding, it was serious in Middle Ages!
Bonus: Mary's mother was a virgin too! I mean she was born from a virgin!

i have come to a startling and sad realisation!.
i have no real friends!.
i have always been extremely active in every aspect of the org, since childhood.
First of all you must be your best friend ever. There's no god/spirit/angel watching for us too.
There's nobody in the whole world who can perceive the world exactly as you do.
"We are all equals" is the greatest lie told to us.
Everyone is unique, and we are only equals before the law.
I myself have just found a couple of true friends after leaving the WT. And I'm always searching for new friends, but true friendship it's very very very rare.
But X-JW's have proved to be an oasis in a desert of people who can't understand what we passed through.
hoping you beat portugal and make it through to the last 16 !.
go usa !!
!.
i would appreciate your opinion on this historian and his explination for the birth of christianity.. http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=mwuzozn-9dc.
please watch all of it before you comment.
i found it very interesting,.
i was listening to a circuit overseer's talk and he mentioned about how a sister wanted to simplify.
she had a couple of dogs.
then he related that she said that all she had to do was get rid of the dogs.
