Intresting point Tel, but who would get to vote ? This might sound flipant but here in UK, we had an Empire until Women got the Vote, only kidding{ sort of } didnt the society at one point allow the cong to vote for who would be Elders ? Then WE became a theocracy, that meant only elders could vote, would everyone get a vote ? determining factors, age, sex ect, who would organise it ? not JW,s surely, then who would be on the ballet sheet, JHWH, jesus, Mohammed, Allah Satan. Would Jesus be Jehovahs campaign manager ? or the other way around ? the trinity would wreak havoc in that vote, 1 in 3, 3 in one.........

Why doesn't God just take a vote?
by Terry inwouldn't a loud voice from heaven asking for a show of hands pretty much do away with the need for the preaching/evangelizing work?.
why is this a stupid question?.
no, seriously!.

Dont know anything about you kiddo, Why is your mothers opinion important to you ? so important that you feel the need to post here ? I only ask because seeking my parents or anyone elses approval, was/is irrelevent ? infact If my parents approved, I would really be concerned.

Is there an unexpected upside to this economic downturn ?
by pedal power ini remember studying the incidence of disease and illness in the 20th century whilst investigating hypoglycemia , basically during ww1 and ww2 the health of the british people greatly increased , i mean all illnesses decreased.
sugar consumption decreased massively, the coperate bodies of the big sugar users, cok-, mc donal--, hein- ect went ballistic, the investigation was pulled, as these multinationals, threatend pull outs, the govt backed down the report was suppressed, with what result ?
diabetes has doubled, coincidence ?.

Anyway, the more of us stop eating and drinking that shite, the better, cut out sugar, if you can.

Refuting the ARGUMENT BY DESIGN.
by nicolaou init's tiresome and it doesn't add up but it's one of the most popular arguments for god's existence, "the argument by design.
" jehovah's witnesses and other believers point out a wonder of nature like the eye and compare it to a 'lesser' mechanical wonder of human design like a camera.
the supposed conclusion is that this natural wonder is evidence of creation by a powerful designer; god.. .

With so many egg heads on show this evening, doesnt it all boil down to faith ? Faith in the obvious ,design, The human brain is by far the most complicated living machine that has ever existed, with more nueral connections, than all the supercomputers ever made, and most here say CHANCE, even now we understand so little about this incredible boilogical machine, there are thousands of nuero transmitters billions of different kinds of cells and receptor cites, that interact with with these thousands of nureo transmitters, we have very little understanding of how the almost inumerable sets of connectios and interconnections operate and how they influence behavior and perception, yet WE as mini gods spout of here as if we had the answers.Non of us are even capable to set the bounderies and paramitters of even having this discussion, because we dont have any understanding of how WE even work.

Its hard enough being a JW being straight, I cant begin to comprehend how difficult it must be to be gay, ie no sex ever, unless your in bethel then its ORGY central, even better if your a member of Gov body, Most jw dont have any idea of homosexuality present and past within the highest echeloens, of the society.

Do you think the British are a proud nation?
by not bitter ini think we are to a degree but i think its on a different level to the americans.
the impression i get (from watching us tv and news) is that the majority of americans come across as being proud to be american and quite a possitive nation.
whereas us brits will display pride as a nation when we have to.

Im with varian on this one, theres not much to be proud off, the last labour Govt changed the face of the UK forever, I personally dont mind, the Indians, Ausis,yanks, canadians,kiwis,S africans. But the influx of Eastern Euopeans and extremist Moslems is in my opinion eroding the fabric of our society. But what can you do ?
On my last holiday to USA, I got interregated at SAN FRAN by some little Asian people, who were from US imigration, and couldnt speak English properly, they kept shouting at me, WHY YO CUM TO AMEICA , WHY YO CUM TO AMEICA ????? I wanted to ask them the same question, WHY YO CUM TO AMEICA ?
Well I came for 4weeks holiday to spend $7000 having a good time, no doubt contributing to the US economy. I dont think I felt proud to be Brittish, I felt USA is in the same mess as us, sigh

Why do I no longer get attacked and persecuted by the demons, since I left JW,s ?
by pedal power inmost jw.s really believe that they ( as we once did ) are promoting gods will, but what if they really are ?
is it possible that god is supporting them even though they (governing body ) lie, because most jw,s are ignorant of the lies told on their behalf, ?.
when i was a jw i got attacked by the demons bigtime, but not now, and i can only assume that they (demons ) are happy that i am no longer a jw and are now leaving me alone, cant think of any other reason, has god ever supported a group who were similarly found wanting ?.

@ J I F B, great montage of color, if I remember correctly the visual spectrum is 400 to 700 Nano metres, I just wanted to make a small but salient point, I am into science not ghosts, However I know the spirit realm exhists, and if you want I will exlain why, I will endevour to do so but not now.
No I am not ruled by fear, mostly indifference, I have never been ruled by fear, even as a JW, I served as a token of my appreciation for being created, JW,s will harness whatever motivational force is needed to get an individual to work for free.
I am happy I dont get demonic interference, I just dont know why, I am not complaining, It was never a big deal, just annoying when it occured.
I cant ever see myself ever going back, and if I did, It would be a lie, because if I did it would be to escape my intended violent slaughter at Armaggedon with the billions of children who would be slaughtered beside me, at least I would have a choice, the kids would be bird food.
Why would you want to worship a chid killer ? not me ever under any circumstances, have a good weekend everyone X

Hello again, I have read your replys, some of them serious some of them juvinile, as you would expect on a forum of this nature, however, the general concensus Here, is that The bible is idiotic, and the information contained within is also idiotic. This makes any conversation here problematic, because the primary source of information to be disscussed here,is biblical and now is deemed to be null and void.
How is it possible to raise points here, and debate them, when my assertions and observations are dismissed as being irrelivent, before I even make them ? There is no room for debate here, because the source material, BIBLE, has already been discounted ?
