What if there is no such thing as time!
And everything is happening in the same instant!
The the one and only eternal moment!
energy and matter are neither created nor destroyed.. consequently, the building blocks of existence are actually finite parts.. to create things in "tomorrow" which are new, something has to be dismantled to leave spare parts for the new thing.. the old thing deteriorates, (dies) and the parts become the new thing.. time travel requires going to a place where all of today's parts are completely dismanteled and are being used (or not) to maintain yesterday/tomorrow.. ever see the film primer?.
said slightly differently...... you go into a room.
on the table is a box of dominoes.

i know there may not be an answer to this question, but i am truly interested in other's views.
i know many are of various beliefs and some do not believe in god at all.. the question is: why does god not stop the suffering?
i watch so many suffer for no reason and no matter how i try to figure it out, i always come back to the fact that a loving parent would not allow their child to suffer needlessly.
The AGE OLD question
And boy! Its one of the best. Many throw out "the baby with the bath water"-----------get rid of God. At least the one organize religion made up.
But what if this question had a a perfect answer.---------------
Its answered in a non religious book "Conversations with God" by Neale Walsh-------New York best seller list for years
If just one thing does make perfect sense................yet me know.

the official watchtower 2006 service year report is not out yet, but i have it on good sources that this year's increase on publishers number is 1.9%.
the average number of publishers will be around 6,500,000. .
here's the % increase for this decade:.
NIce graft!
Numbers went way down after the 1975......OPPPPPS
Numbers mean nothing............. HAY there were 90 million Nazis in 1939.....how many in 1946?
yesterday, i was in wal-mart, taking care of some business at the service desk, while i was there, i thought......i'll just browse a bit and then get home.. before i knew it i was at the check-out with a hotdog griller...!!!!!!
you know it looks kinda like the ones at gas stations, movie theatres, ball parks!!
i barely eat 10 hot dogs a year and thats just when i don't have another choice.. i have never bought anything stupider that i can remember.. forty bucks spent........maybe five bucks back after i keep it five years.......selling it in a gargae sale.. tell us.....do you buy things impulsively and what was your biggest mistake?.
Wow.............I didn't know they had a Walmart at Palau!
My biggest and most costly Impulsive buy was a marriage license!...........It has cost me over $800,000!!!.......and counting.
2 lovely ladies knocked today.
i wasn't offered the new tract, but after they asked me about the state of the world and how i felt about god etc, i asked them in.
(i fell away 10 plus yrs ago and was baptised.
Ask them just one thing.
Is it true? That YOUR god Jehovah......... plans to Kill the vast majority of people on the planet SOON?
And only the "good" people............and that will be...... mostly Jehovah's Witness will be the only ones left?
And If that sounds like a group of people you would like to join................Have fun!
i was feeling a bit guilty about celebrating as this is my 1st year out and i know the history of all the holidays and birthdays are pagan or bloody or idolatrous.. .
but i was thinking that it's not what someone made them in the past but what they are right now.. to us, at this moment.
am i going to sit down on thanksgiving.. and say, "i hate those indians, think i'll go kill some"..????
I have to say it was very strange at the time....................... after 52 years to do Christmas!
It was Dec. 2001 and a friend of mine had a christmas tree lot.............So he said he would give me my FRIST tree.
I went to get my free tree..........................After about an hour I found my virgin tree...........and tolded the attendant that the owner was giving the tree to me at no cost.
He said "Oh Ya................He told me about you!...... Your the guy doing his frist Xmas!".........."Has does that feel?"
"Well"............... I said........ "Its like a Jewish man eating his first pork sandwich.....It taste GOOD but feels WEIRD"!
"God bless us one and ALL".........Tiny Tim
well, things have moved on...my jw man has been agonizing over whether he should be seeing me or not?!
if i was a jw it would all be different?!
is that not like saying if i was not "black,american,german,white ect" surely this is racism of some kind?
It reminds me of another story.
A french women in WWII fell in love with a NAZIS soldier. He was perfect in every way, they where very happy together!! There was just one little problem..................his job..........he worked in a death camp!..........JWS hope & pray that God will KILL 6 BILLION people soon so that they can be happy.......Thats Billions not millions!........... That is alot more than even the Nazis wanted to kill........That will include all your "worldly friends & relatives"....(and if you don't believe me ask your boy friend what will happen to them)......If you don't have a problem with that,,,,,,check it out!..............It might be the perfect religion for you.......... it is for 6 million others.
I know that sounds harsh!...............But I was a NAZIS card carrrier........for 52 years!
I know love is blind............but it sure would be nice if it wasn't
we have some creative and funny people here on jwd... any thoughts on good bumper sticker ideas?.
i'll go first....... .
The best one I ever saw was
................................................PLEASE GOD PROTECT ME FROM YOUR PEOPLE!.......................................
Be carful what you hope for you might get it!
this post comes out every year!.
for us it was the closet we ever came to "celebrating a worldly holiday.
even my nazis jw mom wanted to do it!.
What was the argument?..........................THAT WAS THE QUESTION?.....................".Why can't we celebrate thanks Giving Mom" I asked my NAZIS JW mother..........."Whats wrong with thanking God"?....... I asked ...................."Well urrrrrrrrrrrr.........ummmmmmmmmm.......WE thank God everyday!" not just 0ne day a year"
We just couldn't do anything other people were doing was the bottom line................Even if there was really nothing wrong with what they were doing!
The thing was if we QUESTIONED one holiday we might question something else.....................God forbid.
