So what's the difference between this and predestination? If we're robots programmed with a command you're inferring a programmer. So, who/what's the programmer?

The Self Delusion
by John_Mann inwe already are very familiar with the god delusion, but what to think about the property of being self aware is just another illusion?.
buddhism asserts that and many people does not know that the very materialism (physicalism) asserts that too.. how can an illusion be self aware to be an illusion in itself?
what would change in your life if you accept this?.

Attn faders/lurkers re donations
by Skinnedsheep inwhen you get your anonymous survey pledge an exorbitant amount.
the elders will make the resolution based on the fake pledge and it will create conflict between the branch and the cong....when the donations don't come in the branch be like "pay the man".
the local body will have to have several local needs parts which will highlight the branches focus on money.

How do you get a word in edge-wise, when talking to a JW?
by Faithful Witness injust looking for some pointers, as i was never a jw.
i have an elderette coming over on friday, for another performance.. last week, i was under the impression that she was coming to answer some questions i had.
it quickly became clear that she came with a plan for the "conversation," and we went on an expedition from one passage of the bible to the next, while she made leaping claims, argued with herself and kept me confused and always with more than one question lingering in my mind, while she continued talking and talking.. when i have a conversation with someone, i tend to stop talking when they are speaking.

I find it best to have an outline pre-written when disussing things with JW's. Print out your questions, and have a copy for both of you. It's much easier for you to control the conversation that way.

Need an Exit Plan Fast!
by kneehighmiah inmy girlfriend cult handlers have gotten to her.
they suggested she should no longer communicate with someone who's thinking isn't in line with jehovah's organization.
we argued and she told me to go hang myself.

I never faded, but from a couple of friends experiences the fade and then move works better than the move and fade. If possible move to a nearby congregation. Tell them it's because of depression and your previous relationship. Attend for a couple months and then move your place of residence and just disappear.

How do you get through the memorial?
by Gorbatchov infor family reasons, gorby and his wife and children has to visit the hall at april 14. our family accept that we are faders, but don't accept if we do not visit the memorial.. so, it seems a small investment: one evening love bombing for a year peace and rest.. but i hate the visit.
headache.
meeting the people knowing it's all fake love showing.. how do you get through it?.

Just eat the bread and drink the wine. They'll never bother you about going again ;)
Joking of course. Last one I went to I just stuck a readers digest in my bible and read that.

by SadElder inaccording to bloomberg news:.
http://www.businessweek.com/news/2014-04-07/wedding-photographer-rebuffed-by-top-court-on-same-sex-ceremony.
"the u.s. supreme court turned away an appeal from a new mexico wedding photographer found to have violated a state anti-discrimination law when she refused to take pictures of a commitment ceremony for a same-sex couple.. the photographer, elaine huguenin, argued unsuccessfully that she was being unconstitutionally forced to convey a message conflicting with her religious beliefs.

Don't worry. Soon enough it will be illegal to refuse service to people without money, because you're discriminating against the poor. You know, since being poor isn't a choice and all. Then we can all be equal, and none of this will matter because no individuals will own businesses.

I said, "marriage is a preference"
You said, "being gay is not"
Preference
1. a greater liking for one alternative over another or others.
First choice of synonym: Choice http://thesaurus.com/browse/preference
Maybe before your pompous arrogant self gives english lessons you should understand basic vocabulary. The end.

I really can't help it that you've never listened to yourself.
what exactly is that supposed to mean?
Heterosexuals, alcoholics and serial killers are all pre-disposed to being gay? I think you meant something else.
Yes, I meant that even though someone is genetically predisposed to be gay, straight, an alcoholic, serial killer etc. doesn't mean that they don't have a choice in the matter.
Someone isn't telling the truth.
Fuck off. In other words; please refrain from calling my friend a liar.
They would all disagree with you. And, since there is a LOT of science that shows a hormonal and genetic component that happens in the womb to influence whether or not someone is gay (based on the article you linked to), you've no idea what you're on about.
You obviously didn't read the article as it makes my exact point. Genes don't denote a lack of choice.
No, it isn't. If you needed to hear the dumbest thing you've ever heard, read your own sentence out loud.
I did and edited it 5 seconds after posting.
I didn't lump everyone into a pile, of course, so I've no idea what you are going on about.
Actually it's exactly what you did. You claimed being gay is not a choice. For many gay people all it is is a choice regardless of their genetic predisposition. Hopefully that gives you an idea.
