  On becoming atheist - the tug of war

  by Nickolas in

  2. beliefs

  perhaps, if you are a theist, you might not want to read this.

  if you are nevertheless curious about how an atheist thinks, then please read on.. i don't think there are any active members of this board who have been atheists all their lives (are there?).

  i think virtually all of us transitioned into non-belief from a religious beginning.

  this morning on my way to the office i decided to stop at the gas station to get some coffee.... as i am pulling into the parking space i see this woman w a haircut from the 80's the typical below the knee skirt and long sleeve shirt (is a 105 degrees over here in the shadow).... i immediatly knew she was a jw... she had the latest wt in her hands..... she skipped me and approached a group of young mexican laborers that were resting in the back of a truck... but... as soon as i walked out of the gas station... guess who was waiting for me???

  the jw!!!

  she wanted to do a presentation.. i looked at her and w/o saying a word i started laughing so hard the guys in the truck started laughing as well... she just looked at me and still kept trying to push her literatrash!!

  Remote Viewing-has anyone heard of this or tried this?

  i read an article on this 5 years ago or so and came upon this topic again in reviewing a book on amazon.

  it entails what i think was called 'quantum entanglement', and supposedly used by the cia & the military.

  it sounds fascinating to me..

  @Blondie-Wow, that would be an interesting test to take. I'd probably have higher level of ignorance than coincidence allows for!

  @baltar447-thanks for clearing that up, I'm just learning to ropes to this posting stuff, the jargon and so on. My ignorance shows!

  To me, the thought of living things evolving two of the sexes simultaniously, to ensure procreation doesn't make sense, i.e., two horses of different sexes evolving at exactly the same rate of development to be able to 'make' baby horses seems hopelessly unlikely. There had to be a design there. High school biology told me life cannot come from inanimate things.

  Carla-I don't thing I was programmed to think bad about everyone as a child. My mum is always defending everyone. Rather, I think it was just time and seeing things for what I feel they are. I'm glad your friend's life was saved, that was really great. Your friend must be an optimist-lucky girl.

  How Many on JWNet are still JWs?

  by RayPublisher in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i've been wondering about this for some time.

  if there are 60,000+ registered users on here, what percentage are actual non-dfed or non-daed witnesses?

  if it was 1/3, that would be over 20,000 active/inactive witnesses that post and read these pages- and that's huge.

  I'm still attending. Don't know if I'm in good standing-never had the sense to keep my mouth closed and my thoughts to myself.
