when i was a jobo, i used to thing of 'life without end at laaaasssssst'.. having been on my journey out of the wbt$ slaveholdery, i have found that something that makes sense is that life doesn't owe us a meaning.
psalms 146:4 was actually bangeth on the money-eth 'his breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his thoughts perish.'.
although i am now very atheist, and really do not even think there is the remotest possibility of a god, that bible passage is correct.
LUHE - I sometimes think I should be striving for great achievements. My daughter tells me that just little things that bring joy each day should be good enough.
Your daughter is wise - listen to her. The witnesses and other religious zealots will tell you how can not enjoy life if it doesn't have a purpose.
My particular purpose today is to look forward to a nice meal out with the wife tonight.
ok, the bible is a fascinating book of fairy tales, so we move on..e. zolfagharifard, some guy states "humans will be very different creatures in just 1000 years from now due to climate change,artificial intelligence and genetic mutations are all set to transform our bodies in drastic ways.
a mixture of biology and machine on the inside.
this is only 1000 years from now, what the hell will humans look like in 100000 years????
The witnesses will be talking about the 30,000th overlapping generation.
"a believer" seems to be our new apologist/disobedient sheep.
"a believer" ignores the "spirit-directed"/"bible-based" commands of the gb/fds!
shame on you, "a believer"!!!!
Give him a break gents. At least he's got the guts to come here and put up a civilised argument. He doesn't come across as preachng, not like some have.
we have seen that the society falls back on the line "it is the victims right to approach the authorities" during all the abuse claims.. they use this excuse to try and defend the passive lack of action in failing to report suspected cases of abuse.. a comparison came to mind:.
if we came across a person lying in the street who says they were hit by a car, would we say "it is your absolute right to call the paramedics and police"?.
or would we take the initiative and call those authorities ourselves to help the person?.
It depends on the situation - if the victim is a minor then absolutely - it should be reported to the police immediately.
if it's a case of historic abuse and the victim is now older then it's up to the victim.
in the last couple of months, i have been practising my stand up.
so far these are my best jokes:.
not celebrating birthdays and christmas has saved me so much money.
Don't try them in front of a crowd. It won't go well. Sorry!
many here have asked how the average witness in australia is taking the news of the arc findings and conclusions.. is it affecting them?.
sorry to say, hardly any are even aware of the facts.
those that are, have been convinced that all the publicity is "apostate lies and satanic propaganda".
Of course they are. I don't know why you're surprised. You can convince anybody of anything if they want to believe it.
please, let's discuss this subject without attacking one another.. it appears that trump has won a victory that no one expected.
is it possible that trump may play a part in the great tribulation?.
there are some who believe trump is one of the most unqualified of men to ever be elected president of the united states.
Well I prophesised that trump would win so yes.
To be fair it was 50/50 though.

Is there some meaning to this? What do you think?
Yes, it means that a property developer has bought the WTS buildings that were up for sale and Trump has been elected president.
as i have revealed in other threads my mother and i havent talked in over 2 years.
she has been keeping her distance, therefore staying loyal to jehovah.
she found me on facebook.
It's nice that you heard from your Mum - hope you can keep the lines of communication open.

The Mother is 51y and I could not believe she was asking advice from a 33 year old " kid " elder in fact I was disgusted
