we are now in the 21st century of our common era with its insights into the potential of what can be achieved in the near future to benefit mankind for years to come .. the co-operation of governments around the world on so many levels has never been better than it is today and it is at least encouraging to see this .. whether it has to do with the climate , the environment ,food production ,safe water for all ,and the better health for all in the near future, and in the future space exploration.
however the problem today is still religion !
in its many extreme forms that divides us in no ways that politics divide us .. politicians learn how to compromise and work with their opponents for the greater good ,whereas religions don`t.. religions divide humans like no politicians ever did well not to the extremes religions will go anyway.. is their going to come a time in history when governments politicians say enough is enough and try attempt to abolish religion ?.
I never understood what "abolish" means in this context. Other than removing the tax status (which they should), what else can the government do?
The basis of religion is individual beliefs. The government has no ability to change individual beliefs.

This is the best thread ever. Keep em commin!
so i had a chat with a pimo elder who lives down in georgia usa.
he said meeting with the co included direction for at least 12 congregations to be evaluated for dissolution in the near future.
i thought the bible thumping southern us was a jw hot spot?
What congregation will Kevin be able to go back to?
he said they read the letter to the congregation and were told the kh would be disbanded.
2 other halls in the area were slated for closure.
he said many people in the congregation began crying.
I suspect it is hard to keep a positive attitude these days in JW world. The slow march to oblivion has to be painful.
i have never understood anti-semitism .why sooo much hatred?.
Good question, Min. I have no answer, but your question gives me pause.

i love this from the atheists book of bible stories.
cain and abel the sacrifices
for some reason, these two boys got it into their heads that god liked gifts.
The best story of Cain and Abel comes from Steinbeck's novel East of Eden. Much better than the bible version.
and que the flawed comparisons to the wt in 3...2....
Sears, where America Shops (1976).
