  If death is a natural occurrence in the human species, why are we born with the innate feeling to continue living indefinitely?

  by Tenacious in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  there are some people that do in fact want to die.

  these people include the mentally unstable, emotionally imbalanced, and those suffering from ailments or diseases, just to name a few.. i've never met however, anyone, or heard of anyone, who is of sound mind, who just awoke one day and thought it would be an excellent day to die......naturally.. your thoughts?.

  Its simply a mechanism for self preservation - just like why you get out of the way of a bus.

  If living forever is a natural thing - why is NOTHING built to last forever - including the universe?

  Why are we so poorly built? Just about anything can kill us. 71% of the earth's surface could kill you in about 4 minutes (oceans). You can't be outside without protection on about 70% of the rest of the earth's surface without dying from exposure in a matter of a few days at most. I could go on and on and on.

  jw.org cart days numbered?

  by jookbeard in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  reading a report of an elder in a friends cong has been hiding and spying on the pioneers who seem to have a practise of dumping the cart and finding a local coffee shop, i've noticed that they do this in my local high street as well but this week they seemed to be all huddled around the cart, they've clearly been warned, a vast percentage of the time i see they seem to be more interested in fiddling with their mobile phones and gossiping, is just seems these carts are a means for the pioneers to turn in "easy time" i wonder what sort of figures show how much literature is being taken by the public?

  i bet its very minimal.

  naturally the gb would say they are a phenomenal success , we clearly know they are not.

  jookbeard - what you are describing is the SOP of most pioneers. Drive around - waste time - get coffee.

  That is not an indicator of the GB dropping what has become the least effective means of gaining new cult members:)

  My boyfriend is thinking of becoming reinstated

  by gypsyvine in

  2. relationships

  i'm not really sure where to post this.. i've been with my boyfriend for 4 months now and i've really never been happier.

  i was brought up in the church of christ with an elder father and i really believe in my religion, although i will admit to being a lousy christian at times due to sheer laziness (not wanting to get out of bed on sunday).

  my boyfriend essentially lives with me.

  Your happiness will soon end if he gets reinstated and wants to really be a JW.

  How many times have the GB been wrong?

  by atomant in

  2. beliefs

  actually its quite amusing to observe the different reactions from within the org every time theres new light.how dumb does a person have to be to not realize its all a conjob.surely a thinking logical person would question all the changes over the years.lts almost like the blind leading the blind scenario.

  A different way to look at this is - if there is a god - is this the best he can do?

  It means they can keep this thing going for another 40 years without having to change it again.

  So... Are they done printing the number of partakers?

  by thedepressedsoul in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  during the wt study yesterday i had a confused look on my face the whole meeting.

  more of a, wtf, face.

  one paragraph says, "therefore,the number of partakers does not accurately indicate the number of anointed ones left on earth.".

  You kinda feel like that's coming - but I don't think they can get away with that.
