  we just enjoyed a wonderful evening seeing richard dawkins live in sydney.

  it was an event to promote his latest book, and was another opportunity to expand our "god given" brains!😜.

  Now go compare Science in the Soul by Dawkins w/ credit to Hitchens to Rutherford's The Finished Mystery with Posthumous credit to Russell.

  foetus baptism - surely coming to a watchtower study article soon?

  jw parents are reminded of 2 ti.3:14,14 "from infancy you have known the holy writings".

  and the watchtower explains the greek word bre'phos "infancy" as follows: "...it is generally used of an unborn child.

  Kind of like how Islam teaches that everyone is born a Muslim.

  JWs would love it if this applied to their faith because then they'd have grounds to completely shun the entire would for not bowing to the Governing Body.

  Lauren’s father told police that he had not spoken to his daughter in years and that her mother died when she was 13. He said that he never cared for her husband and that he believes “Dan pulled Lauren away from the family.”

  One of Lauren’s sisters told police that she had not spoken to Lauren in six years and that she, too, believes “Dan pulled Lauren away from the family.” She told police that Lauren and her husband both suffered from mental illness and that they “fed off of each other.” She said her sister was deemed “Apostasy” for speaking out against the JWs and leaving the organization.

  Sometimes my heart wells up with so much despair that it hurts to just beat. Lauren's father and sister sound almost GLAD about what happened. I'll bet Lauren knew that they would react this way, too. The top reason for people taking their own lives is when they believe their existence is doing their family/loved ones a disservice and that those around them would be better off without them.

  To Lauren's father and sister: you have BLOOD on your hands. Your sociopathic approach to kinship was undoubtedly a driving force behind this heinous tragedy.

  "Who's the poster on here that says 'Let's review. It's a cult.'"

  That would be the illustrious @jp1692.

  What makes you---YOU?

  by eyeuse2badub in

  2. beliefs

  of course this is an open ended question but have you ever really thought about what makes you who you are?.

  is it our looks, our personality, our physique, our intelligence, our experiences and subsequent memories, our beliefs?

  is it a combination of all these things and even more?

  Nothing.

  I guess I figured that out after listening to Lawrence Krauss' lecture on A Universe From Nothing.

  At the most, I'm just a field of energy dancing for itself.

  Existential crisis over.

  Omg first time I comment on a Christian/Katja thread and I said "outstanding" twice in the second last sentence.

  Did I mention I thought the episode was outstanding? I did?

  Okay... cool. Just making sure.

  just thought i'd share what i found in my fortune cookie.

  (i know, fortune cookies are inviting demons, just like lucky charms cereal 😜) well actually it's more of a proverb, like most of them are nowadays:.

  "as one grows to understand life less and less, one learns to live it more and more.".

  @Compound Complex: "...those who feel certainty are stupid" - Bertrand Russell.

  How many of our loved ones are living in a false state of certainty? They don't even claim to have truth, but rather, are IN it!

  Hawkings and Boorstin appear to have understood our plight with waking family up when expressing the following sentiment: "The greatest enemy of knowledge is not ignorance; it is the illusion of knowledge."

  It's like when you're dead. You don't know you are dead - it's only painful for others.

  Same with being stupid.
