  GoneAwol - I know how you feel.
  It is so hard to make any headway to anyone drinking the KoolAid.

  The only thing I always think of - is pivot to Jesus. (Would jesus do this?)

  We Cannot Understand Because We Are Not Perfect

  starting this thread because of katewild's post.

  (from where came god?).

  the unanswerable questions of life are usually attributed to: "we are imperfect, so cannot understand.

  If anyone thinks we only use 1% or 10% of our brain - please tell me what part could I remove from your head?
  

  WHY DO STUPID THINGS LIKE THIS PERSIST?

  http://www.scientificamerican.com/article/do-people-only-use-10-percent-of-their-brains/

  Though an alluring idea, the "10 percent myth" is so wrong it is almost laughable, says neurologist Barry Gordon at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine in Baltimore. Although there's no definitive culprit to pin the blame on for starting this legend, the notion has been linked to the American psychologist and author William James, who argued in The Energies of Men that "We are making use of only a small part of our possible mental and physical resources." It's also been associated with Albert Einstein, who supposedly used it to explain his cosmic towering intellect.
  The myth's durability, Gordon says, stems from people's conceptions about their own brains: they see their own shortcomings as evidence of the existence of untapped gray matter. This is a false assumption. What is correct, however, is that at certain moments in anyone's life, such as when we are simply at rest and thinking, we may be using only 10 percent of our brains.
  "It turns out though, that we use virtually every part of the brain, and that [most of] the brain is active almost all the time," Gordon adds. "Let's put it this way: the brain represents three percent of the body's weight and uses 20 percent of the body's energy."

  If God is the Creator, who created God or how did he evolve?

  So - how can you believe in something that

  A. Humans can not grasp.
  B. Can not be proven
  C. Shows NO evidence existing (other than a convenient answer to questions you can't answer or understand)
  D. That is not part of our Universe (convenient for someone not wanting to show evidence)

  How does belief in Leprechauns differ from the above?

  P.S. The bible states that god has a dwelling (heaven) and it's a specific place.
  Who created the place he lives in? Did it also always exist?

  Are there any instances of "GOD" order and/or condoning the rape of women in the bible?

  this came up recently with my dyed-in-the-wool jw pioneer mother, who swears up and down that there are no scriptural instances of this happening.

  i seem to remember a couple passages, but can't remember where they were..

  Vidio - my brother - you must remember Dog made allowances for his people because they were Stiff Necked.

  Jehober was showing love allowing innocent women to be raped.
  He is a Dog of Justice afterall.

  JW Acumen & Education = NO VALUE IN THE REAL WORLD

  by Black Man in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  having been out of the cult for a few years now, i can finally sit back and accurately access the good, bad and the ugly, especially as it relates to education and having a sense of self-worth and realizing your potential.

  in my opinion, religion is a total crock, but at least in some religions there is at least some value that you can translate your experiences and education gained in such into the real world.

  for example, the mormons have their own accredited university where you can obtain a degree and you can actually put that down on your resume and use it in the real world.

  Remember there were talks and perhaps an article going around years ago, that being on the Theocratic Ministry was like being enrolled in a college course?? Or that reading the Watchtower and Awake magazines was akin to getting a university education??

  I know it was so crazy - they only people who could really think that's true - where people who had NEVER gon to college or university.
