Dont you all know that Sailboats are the Devils work!
If man was meant to sail - he would have been given a Mast a-mid-ships that would be able to go up and down at will!
Oh wait...
so the study article 'setting your mind on the spirit means life and peace.
' at paragraph 9 a little pictorial lecture for anyone setting their minds on the flesh.
brother fleshly minded talking about having a sailboat.
at a recent meeting there was a watchtower article about life in paradise.
they were saying that even when witnesses finally get there they will still be under the strict instructions from the elders and gb.
they may be given jobs that they will find unpleasant, also the preaching work will be ongoing because of all the resurrected people who need to learn about why they are given another chance.
as i write this under the shadow of the walls of saint jorge's castle in lisbon, two very bored jws are standing just five metres away from me with a literature cart .... in my journey away from jwism i accepted evolution as a fact.
i also became anti-religion, agnostic and apatheist.
and, while i lean towards the persuasion of the atheist arguments, there are a few reasons that make it difficult for me to completely discard the notion of an intelligent origin of life.

i'm sure we've all heard this argument by theists employing the fine-tuning argument.
are you aware, however, of exactly how much this "little bit" really is?
theists would have us think that the slightest change in the distance would have drastic implications for survivability.
One of my favorite lines that has been in many talks by "brothers" and COs and at assemblies is...
Wherever science has looked - they have not found a planet like the earth.
Gee - that like going to the beach - taking a teaspoon out - getting a spoonful of water - looking at it - and saying - Well there are not whales in this ocean.
As if there was a exhaustive study of all the planets in the universe to find out.
So now that we are discovering planets by the bag full every week - and we are starting to find earth like candidates - will this erroneous line stop being repeated over and over?
NO.

OMG!!! One of my biggest pet peeves ever!
I gave a great creation talk to dispel stupid idiot statements like that for 2 decades.
I worked in into every appropriate part or comment I could.
MADE NO DIFFERENCE.
Like - that there was no rain before the flood (even though genesis talks about rivers in eden)
Or - we use 10% of our brain. Yea? Let me remove a little bit of yours - you pick what part.
Or - that the Big Bang is part of the theory of Evolution. For once god sakes - read a book!
And countless others that had nothing to do with dogma - just common sense!
After 2 decades of trying and trying - with great reception to my talks and parts - people still fell back to these stupid ideas. (if jws voted they would all vote for trump)
I maxed out what you could do as an elder from a public speaking roll - and I still didnt move the needle when it came to JW stupidity.
Ron White is right when he says - "you can't fix stupid"
now we all have heard how the universe is composed of matter and space.
and we always here of how it had a beginning.
but really what could have begun it?

I'm so over just doing what most scientist do, that is blaming it on dust and gravity.
Scientist dont blame it on dust and gravity, and saying that shows a lack of understanding of what science has found on the matter.
Chemists have been searching for the true cause of the universe
Chemists study and practice chemistry - not cosmological origins, you would be an astronomer or theoretical or particle physicist if you were studying the origin of the universe.
But if there was a divine being or entity such as God who had a plan and direction, the universe and the earth wouldn't be as perplexing as it is.
Maybe but that would throw all the "perplexity" on god. Who created god? Why are not the questions that bug you about the universe not bug you about god?
p.s. - Roll a million dice - look at the number - the odds of coming up with that number is astronomical - but it happened anyway.
in the august broadcast, david splane is shown in a morning worship video.
i just wanted to focus on the end of the video, were he has this to say:.
the governing body loves to get together and discuss the bible.
