  If the human body is so complex that your conclusion is that it was designed, what about God? Isn't he infinitely more complex than the human body? Since he's more complex, using your logic, he would have to be designed too. So who designed him?

  do you think the yearbooks will stop showing negative information as the numbers stagnate or even drop?

  They have shown negative info in the past. They showed the decreases in the early 80's.

  To answer the OP: I don't believe in God because there is no evidence to support that belief.

  Did Ray Franz manage to live out a comfortable retirement from the proceeds of his books.

  i'm just curious if anybody knows.

  firstly i don't take issue with the man making money from his books and if he was able to live comfortably from it then i say power to him.

  but what i'm wanting to know was just how successful was it and did it allow him to live out the remainder of his years in comfort e.g buy a house, eat good food etc.

  Since the book is no longer in print and copies for resale are rare, I have no qualms about pirating it.

  What language was Jesus most at home with?

  by fulltimestudent in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  our former loving brothers and sisters have been instructed to think that, jesus likely spoke a form of hebrew and a form of aramaic.

  (aid to bible understanding-103-105).

  of course, there is no way to demonstrate the truth of that assertion or any other assertion about the languages that the common people of the land spoke.

  Tony's walking like he might be wearing spanx under his suit. 😂

  Reminds me of how Danny DeVito walked as the Penguin.

  Should I be mad?

  i've been df'd for about six weeks now.no one has broken the obligation to "honor the disfellowshipping decree".that's the way notorious co paul kohler describes the "loving arrangement" that is jw shunning.

  ( just "serving" napa ).

  so, my wife's family has been "loving me" ( barf ) when out of nowhere, one of them sends home homemade soup for me.... well, i got super pissed.

  I agree with Cognac and VI. I used to go out of my way to show a DF'd person I still care about them without breaking the rules. It was so ridiculous, in retrospect.

  GTTM: Sorry you're going through this. I don't have any advice for you. I wish I did. Other's here are far more experienced in handling the "divided household" aspects. I was fortunate enough that my wife was ready to wake up when I started talking to her about my doubts.

  My thoughts are with you man.

  To Sophia Lose(r): Man up? Really? Why don't you "man up" and stop being anonymous? Oh, what's that? You're anonymous because you're afraid of some kind of loss (family and/or friends)? Dude, maybe that's why GTTM is playing it cool.

  Buddhists and Jehovah's Witnesses

  by tornapart in

  recently i have just started looking into what buddhism is all about.

  i rather like the idea of a personal spirituality.

  of trying to be a better person and an acceptance of the reality of life and trying to find an inner peace and contentment.. anyway, i came across this today.

  You might enjoy this article by Sam Harris about appreciating Buddhism without all the supernatural mumbo jumbo.

  Killing the Buddha

  “Kill the Buddha,” says the old koan. “Kill Buddhism,” says Sam Harris, author of The End of Faith, who argues that Buddhism’s philosophy, insight, and practices would benefit more people if they were not presented as a religion.
