speculation about "peace and security" ends with the failure once again of israel and palestine to reach an agreement.. .

apologies..... just saw Hebrew , obviously, the evangelicals are focused on the Greek, written long after Jesus died.

i find it odd that evangelicals think Israelmust have jerusalem once more for armageddon to come, the bible written after 70ad was clearly ending on a sour note for the jewish nation.

A silly thought on freewill...

by new hope and happiness in

this was mythought on " freewill" and made me think...i need " air" to breath..so how was i born with freewill?.

Everything in the universe interacts in some way, all living things require some form of energy provision.

Out bodies are run on cell engines not too different to your car. Sugar (fuel) and air in, water and CO2 out, internal combustion!

Our energy comes from the turning of turbines, ATPase in our mitochondria. So it isnt about free will, it is all about the laws of thermodynamics and energy transfer.

However, free will is an amazing topic and I highly reccomend you read up on determinism.

i am setting up a podcast (radio show) where we will cover the issues of jw's, amongst the topics of science, belief and more.. i am letting you guys know because i would like to interact with the forum as we do them, looking for suggestions for topics, looking for guest ideas and also we can mask voies and change names, so interviewing current jw's to help provide people a voice, an outlet for their frustration whilst providing a safety net.

there is no hierarchy, but current elders, bethelites etc that contribute here already will be more than welcome and protected!.

the podcast will be pro science, i will have both atheist and theist co-presenters in the episodes but i can't deny my bias towards evidence and science, but hopefully it should be enjoyable and informative for us all.. i plan for it to be about 2hrs long, maybe an episode a month or every 2 or 3 weeks.

happy to cover science sam, but it wont be a medical show or provide ANY medical opinion....and regarding vaccines there is plenty of easy evidence to access, showing the results of vaccine use and dangers of not using it. Anyone denying vaccines that may risk a childs life based on facebook posts are not going to listen to a science podcast.

A great source for all things medical is patient.co.uk I send all my patients there for info and advice.

the watchtower has a problem.

they have a huge influx of profit off the sale of their brooklyn properties.

there are hints that some of it may be taxable.

We treasure what is limited, be it gold or diamonds or......land. A little company in america owns land all over the world, they must only be second to the Vatican in land and buildings owned.
