“In 5 billion years, the expansion of the universe will have progressed to the point where all other galaxies will have receded beyond detection. Indeed, they will be receding faster than the speed of light, so detection will be impossible. Future civilizations will discover science and all its laws, and never know about other galaxies or the cosmic background radiation. They will inevitably come to the wrong conclusion about the universe......We live in a special time, the only time, where we can observationally verify that we live in a special time.”

If there is a God why didn't he sign our DNA
by scotoma intodays scientists can and do insert their trademark into dna.. why couldn't jehovah anticipate scientists learning this technique and stumbling across a strand that says "human by yhwh"?.
that would have answered a lot of questions.. he could have even included a model number human2.0.

Isn't the universe grand enough to realize it didn't arise from just nothing?
Yet God is grander than the universe and you accept he arose from nothing
still no one answers how or why FAITH is a value

the other side of disfellowshipping
by nowwhat? inpersonally i hate it when you come face to face with someone disfellowshiped and you can't do a simple acknowledgement or greeting.
they are obviously making an effort to be there to be reinstated.
as i recall back in the 1970's they did allow this but what is always the case some took advantage of this provision and in engaged in full blown conversations.

thanks for the responses it's been a question I've had.. and wanted to share what happened to me..
So in line with the OP.. not only is it, not a greeting.. but shame, exclude, humilate don't even dare make eye contact until they truly know how much the congegation LOVES them.

I'm not aware of that being "policy".
I think most do it to avoid being even more uncomfortable
yes I'm sure thats probaly the case.. I'm pretty brash and bold, bosterious is a word often used to desribe me, lol.. I sat in the 3rd row back right in the middle so everyone could see me..
hey I wanted to let them know I was there lol.. they felt more uncomfortable than I did...

My wife just told me to move out...
by nolongerconfused inbecause of "religious" differences, she now wants me to move out and "separate"...i said what biblical grounds does she have for her request?.
she couldnt respond...she said she'd rather be beaten up by me than have an "apostate" in the house.... this org definitely encourages conditional love.... i don't know what to do...by the way, we dont have children.

I know how you feel .. I really do .. what got me through it was my relationship with jehovah was stronger than my relationship with the organazation. they always told us you have to have a good relationship with GOD.. so do just that..
good luck..

yes the total we can't even stand the sight of you is really bad...
I have a question along these lines.. was thinking of starting a thread on this, but it's fitting here.
When I was DF'd in 1987, they told me I could sit anywhere in the hall..that the spirit protected everyone from me during the meeting.. LOL so I sat up close with everyone.. at which, durning the meeting some would exchange a glance and a smile with me, then a look of horror and panic at the thought of me ...
Then the elders told me that I need to sit at the back of the hall because I made the congregation feel uncomfortable.. I remember most Df's people did sit at the back of the usually out of shame .. I didn't want to be like that..this was the final straw and why I walked away..
My Question is .. Is it now policy for DF'd people to sit at the back of the hall? does anyone know either way? I thought I saw on a post that it was, or do most just do that out of shame..
thanks
