Sir82, I think the world of science has taken away the simple faith of God. But with out life everlasting, and with the knowledge our death is the end, community responsibility , has given my life value. This is what I want to teach my son, but modern technology has created a new " Watchtower" of Pokémon, mindcraft and other stuff that have created difficulties in putting this message across to my son.

Charts are worth a thousand words. But personally I think my life is all about my community, and the people that make it a better place. I hope in my smaller picture, my community is educating and contributing to making the world a better place. But I must say in all truth, it has taken me much failed effort to teach my son the importance of charity and giving to the poor.

Where We Jews (and Religionists) Have Not Been So Forthcoming
by David_Jay inbecause i feel some people have become confused in thinking that i am promoting religion or thinking that being jewish is some type of special gift that makes me better, i am writing to tell you that i don’t feel this way.
think of this as your christmas gift (or chanukah or festivus or whatever).. despite the fact that i too practice a religion, i also think atheism is a purposeful and noble use of the mind.
too often people with a religion have only bad things to say about atheism and atheists.

A Believer, " Davids Jays Judaism religion believes Jesus wasn't the messiah and the garden of Eden was in heaven...
And I respect David Jays comments more than yours. I mean David put himself on the line, tried to articulate himself, and at least had the guts with insecurity to try express his "beleiefs" Now how do people spell "believe" ? Its kind of a hard thing to do, when you try to explain your heart, in words in hyperspace. And sometime we come across wrong,and not as the people we are inside.

''Tis the season to be broke :-)
I am glad I survived another year of Vivianes logical slaughter, ( Because I am one of her walking wounded, and I hope better for the experience) Anyway David happy "Hanukkah "which I believe begins tomorrow?
It's very unusual for the first night of "Hanukkah" and "Christmas Eve" to over lap. ( And who cares anyway?) More to my point In the " Great War" of 1914 the German and English soilders on the western front played a football match together, they also shared beer and cheese together. They then slaughtered each other on the 26th of December. Oh before I forget " Happy Exmas" fellow posters :-)

Is account of Ananias & Sapphira genuine?
by anointed1 in1) ananias “sold a piece of property… and kept back part of the money for himself, but brought the rest and put it at the apostles’ feet.” (acts 5:1, 2) peter interpreted the whole incident as unbecoming of believers as they created the impression that they are giving full amount received from the sale of their property, and told the wife of ananias: “the feet of the men who buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you out also.” (acts 5:9).
death sentence for slightly exaggerating one’s generosity?.
2) in this incident, peter seems to be over-righteous!

Hi David, On the post you referred to, I fail to have seen these nasty foul mouthed comments.The truth is that you wrote factually incorrect things, which were pointed out. ( would you rather people read incorrect information?) May I suggest you have over reacted. And even if you feel Vivianne was rude in her words, I think you have sensationalized a rather insignificant exchange and made a bloody drama out of nothing.
Anyway it appears you have passed sentence on yourself and left the board. Take care mate, and all the best, I enjoyed many of your posts.

scathchme1010...."There are so many who are still wasting their lives in that noncence"
So true. I came back to revisit the board , and then I was pretentious enough to think maybe when I post it is read and helps those escaping " Watch Tower" noncence. So here I am today posting, but not about if God exists or not. My message is simply try to enjoy life and move on. I think that's pretty good advice when you really think about it. I mean did we really enjoy our life having the " truth" and not having fun?

On the contrary " tiki" when a witness my field service reports were always very impressive. My logic was if a thousand years is a day to Jehover, then my field service report could include an extra zero. Such cunning met with Jehovers approval as my cunning zealousness in the field service got me asked if I wanted to be a ministerial servant. A position I repeatedly declined due to being to humble.
Thinking back on that, it's so funny, so stupid, and so ridiculous how Jehovers spirit directed organisation actually works. I am glad I have moved on and can now laugh at the absurdity of it all.
p.s to be honest, I also spent many years giving honest field service reports. Their is nothing funny about that.
