Love is like God.

by The Rebel in

neither, can be proven only to the believer can they exist.

we could therefore say that a persons feelings on god and love are simply chemical reactions produced by the brain.

however what i find interesting is that if a certain part of a persons brain gets damaged their personalities and emotions can radically change.. the rebel..

OrphanGrow thank you for your reasoning. To clarify I am at the end of my time on this board. From what I have learnt about the G.B i have decided to disfellowship myself.

This O.P is now to clarify my thinking on the many threads I have read from athiests and believers. My question therefore is:-

Is there any scientific evidence that love or God exist?

If not then I will leave having concluded love and God can only be proven to the believer they exist. And that is not to say they don't exist, it's just then personal choice either way.

I would also like to answer " iconoclasic's" point about the beautiful Harmonica played at the church. Listening to the great rock bands, I noted Irom Maiden have used " God" 3 times in all their songs, but you rarely find a Lynyrd Skynyrd song with out God in the lyrics.

Why is this?

Its the target audience, Southern Rock is aimed at the South, and southern folks like songs with God in them. iron Maiden is targeting a different audience.

What has this got to do with my O.P Love is like God?

Only that music is a very emotional exsperience such is love and such is God and each produces chemical reactions on the brain.

Thanks for the reply Iconoclassic.

Your daughters reply to your question " Why do you say God exists?" Was a very wise answer from a 9 year old, and it does suggest that seeds are born with a purpose. But looking deeper, in to your question and deeper meaning requires deeper thinking, the seeds could still have come about by accident.

so would you agree :-

A) That if everything has deeper meaning, deeper meaning must also have deeper meaning too. Right?

Or :-

B) Would you say that deeper meaning has only what needs deeper meaning? If so then deeper meaning itself doesn't need it and my first question is wrong. Right?

So my answer would be that the puzzle of deeper meaning will never be solved. Hence my O.P " Love is like God" neither can be proven, only to the believer can they exist.

The new changes is a clear indication that we are one step closer to the end...

that was today's topic over a group chat of my cong's young jbots.

apparently the rumors are circulating everywhere i go, even people from the spanish congs are talking about it.

what's really sad is that the majority of people are already seeing this as "clear" signs of the end coming.

Robert " The new changes are a clear indication that we are one step closer to the end....."

The Rebel :-The new changes are a clear indication most in the W.T are afraid to step out on their own. Reminds me of the song changes by Bowie:-

I watch the ripples change their size,

but never leave the stream,

of warm impermanence.

and so the days float through my eyes,

and still the days seem the same.

Jesuis.osif " I think this case is shuddingly horrendous"

The Rebel:- The first trial was thrown out, and no fair person would argue with that. In neither did he have fair representation, which is usually the case for those who are not wealthy enough or connected enough to hire a good lawyer. ( As long as he had his day in court)

And as you say Jesuis, and I have clarified in my previous post " The psychological torture" Richard has gone through is now worse than putting him to death"

So let's les hope "justice" only attempts to kill a possible innocent man for the 4th time on November 6th.

Are the GB very intelligent men with higher than average IQ? Or are they stupid men who were put in their position by sheer “LUCK”

by John Aquila in

are the governing body of the wt wickedly smart with extremely high iq or are they leaders of the wt because they were at the right place at the right time.

(in other words, pure luck )-think lottery.

ive seen them talk in jwtv and you can never convince anyone in the whole world that these guys are in the same category as someone smart or cunning like jim simons who founded renaissance technologies or bill gates.

The Rebel

John Aquila ( Q) " Are the G.B intelligent Men?

The Rebel ( A) I believe the G.B hide behind the privacy of closed eyes. The G.B dont believe in a paradise earth. But they have managed to convince millions that paradise earth is true.

Does that require intelligence?

No I don't think that deception requires intelligence, but it does make me feel stupid for once believing in it.

Had you thought of feeling sorry for the G.B?

by The Rebel in

friends

i only bring this to the board, because a friend of mine once said he felt sorry for the footballers who made so much money.

that comment stayed with me, and over the years,the more i thought about that comment the more i agreed with him.. i admit the g.b destroy people's life's and are the sublimation of all that's good in people's life.

there only excuse is a fantazy asylum they claim to believe in.

The Rebel

Thank you for the photo " Zoos" my answer is:-

The G.B are no longer my teachers. I no longer follow there instructions. ( I clarified my reasons for this in my previous post)

But now the G.B are no longer " MY" teachers, I want to find beautiful thighs and not have there arse in my life. I want to fly higher, and higher. I don't want them to win by me being in pain.

Maybe I am selfish, but I won't try to fool myself by thinking I am the man to bring the W.T down. Therefore I want to live and be happy. I will be there for friends and family trapped in the organisation, but the day to day hours which should be mine I have decided are mine.

What I am trying to say is that my own ethical and moral viewpoint says I should fight the G.B. But It's a fight I realise I can't win. So I won't hate them, and I can't ignore them. I THINK THE WRONG WORDS I used in my O.P. were "FEEL SORRY" for them. But I do Pity" them because I would rather have no wife, no child, no passport. Infact I would choose NONEXISTENCE than be anything like them.

Witness007 (Q) " He can't prove he was not involved....they have no evidence HE was involved. How can he be on death row now?

The Rebel (A) Because the death penalty in America, is not only for people who have been convicted beyond doubt, REASONABLE doubt is enough"

Well done Dr Phil for starting your new series a week early to highlight this case. Well done Richard Branson for taking out a Full Page spread in the Oaklahoma newspaper and taking the time to appear on T.V yesterday voicing your concern.

This case has huge holes in it. Please read my earlier post today for clarification on that. I also find it discusting that in January Richard was 3 hours from the needle. Two weeks ago once again 3 hours from the needle. And yesterday 1 minute from the needle. Now it's all scheduled again for November 6th.

In America 156 people have been exonerated from death role since 1975 ( Souce death penalty information centre)
