  Atheism->Deism->Theism

  by sabastious in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i have noticed that there is a lot of angst directed towards believers and non believers so i thought i would make a thread explaining how it all works from my own perspective.

  the reality is that neither believers nor unbelievers are right or wrong, they simply are, if that makes sense.

  to better understand the perspective ideologies i have constructed a map so to speak of how it all works.. the fact is that we are all products of our environment, we cannot escape this at first, but we can eventually, but first we have to accept that we were first a product of our environment.

  I will be having a talk tomorrow at our special assembly day

  by Most Noble in

  our special assembly day is tomorrow, although, i dont live in the states though but still, i wont put the theme of my talk up here; you never can tell, but, i will be mentioning some of the main points i will be highlighting.

  1) how jehovah views secular education.

  2) what should we be doing now with our precious time, considering that we are living at the finishing line of our relay race.. 3) are we heeding to the instructions given by jehovah's bride?'.

  most noble -

  can you slip in something about further education that does not come across as completely opposed to it so that those who are pursuing further education do not have to squirm in their seats? nothing too controversial that may compromise your position. perhaps something about the economic climate requiring one to become more educated to support one's family.

  there are so many issues related to this letter and cedars has done a great job addressing all of them particularly the implications for families

  But Sir raised an issue that I have been wondering about and that is why the WTS would assume more legal liability with this letter.

  I am hoping that elders have become concerned about this issue and that there is much unrest (and disorder) about legal action being taken against them as in the conti case and they have been ringing headquarters with their concerns. WT's response is to bring in another "law" we will decide who is a predator

  I agree satanus with what you say about empowering people to lead independent lives. Most ancient mythology suggests this
