  there is a tribe in west african called the dogon, their mythology states that their gods came from a dark star that orbits around sirius.

  they claim this star went nova then condensed so that its now super dense.

  they have on their cave walls drawings of jupiter and its 4 moons and saturn with its rings.

  You won't be a different person, but you will be a person who makes a difference, 

  As a nurse you make a huge difference too, so ask yourself what the motivations for becoming a doctor are. The degree is too hard to get through unless you have a real passion for medicine or you are a rare natural academic. 

  I would 100% recommend anyone becoming a doctor, but say goodbye to the next 15 years and be sure to realise it is not just a job, it is all consuming.

  Why Do Atheists Struggle So Much Against God Who Supposedly Doesn't Exist?

  by Perry in

  an athist made this casual statememt on another thread:.

  this would suggest to me that there are at least some atheists that do have consistant beliefs.. .

  as an atheist, how could he possibly trust the reason that suggests this to himself?

  earlier this year, i received an email from a jw family member with a link to this video:.

  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g1ruhkgqjug.

  i wrote a long reply debunking the video (mostly copying talkorigins info).

  Origin of Black Skin - JW.org Noah Movie

  by Bloody Hotdogs! in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i've never seen this discussed here, so thought i'd bring it up:.

  as far as i can figure, jehovah's witnesses no longer teach that black skin is the result of a curse from god.

  instead, they seem to teach that canaan was already dark skinned when his father, ham, brought the curse of servitude upon their family.

  He was mocking the atheists for bringing this work discrimination issue up. One element of religion that REALLY get's me annoyed, is the expectancy of gettting what you want and living by your own rules because YOU are representing a god on earth. Discrimination is discrimination and I am very pleased to read this.

  In the UK there is a charity for JW pensioners, a care home network. They state clearly in their literature that EVERY member of staff is a JW. Someone needs to pursue it. If I had the time i would, not because it will annoy some JW's but because it is fundementally wrong and we are all paying for it !

  Anything that seperates two humans further appart is unhelpful to society.

  Greek Mythology influence on New Testament

  by Magnum in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  a few days ago, i was in a book store, and i picked up a book providing a brief overview of classical mythology.

  as i examined the opening pages, i read about tartaurus (place of punishment) and hades (god of the underworld).. it seems so odd that tartarus and hades would be mentioned in the new testament, and yet they were part of greek mythology which predated the new testament.

  why would bible writers have used such terms?

  1) science and technology appeared as a savior to mankind, yet the overall result points to the opposite direction.. http://aeon.co/magazine/science/why-has-human-progress-ground-to-a-halt/.

  2) john kerry warns of catastrophe if climate change is not tackled.

  Science is JUST a process to observe the world around us, it provides a mechanism to learn how our universe works. Nothing more.

  When humans learn something new, it is thanks to the scientific process. What we do with that data is nothing to do with science and all to do with us.

  It is about growing up and taking responsibility. Do you drive a car, do you trash plastics daily? You know you shouldn't.....

  We are animals of habit and pattern, we don't like change. I am confident, with science, we have a hope.

  People can wait on the 8 guys from Brooklyn if they want, but I would ask them.....have you read the report on them dumping toxic waste in fields that fed into the bethelite water supply? Have you read about their fines in Australia recently for enviromental damage? Have you read the many stories here and elsewhere of how bethel would run the factory at night in NY to cover their illegal printing activity, hiding that they were exceeding their daily limits of 'ruining the earth'.
