Six Screens announcing passing of “MINIMUS”

Six Screens posted on Reddit and he actually had something good to say about this site (JWN)
MINIMUS, in the mid ninety's helped me to leave the Watchtower Organization. I purchased my first computer from him, and he immediately introduced me to JWN (JEHOVAH'S WITNESS DISCUSSION FORUM) I learned a great deal of information from that site, scandals, cover-ups, history of the Watchtower Organization. It was comforting and encouraging just like on this site, exjw, to be able to communicate with others who are distancing themselves from the Watchtower.
I will be contacting MINIMUS' family members to get more information, and next week on my newscast we have a tribute to the "One And Only MINIMUS".
Rest in peace, MINIMUS; I will miss you, your friend Rick Fearon

Is the FACT that no God/god ever communicates with humans evidence that no God/god exists?
by Disillusioned JW inis the fact that no god/god ever communicates with us evidence that no god/god exists?
i think it is very strong evidence that no personal god/god exits, especially a benevolent god who wants humans to know him him/her/it, to obey him/her/it, and/or to love him/her/it.
since no god/god communicates to us (including those who sincerely want communication with the/a god/god), wouldn't it be sensible for those who pray to what they believe is the/a god/god to cease all efforts to communicate to a god/god?

God exists for the people who say he communicates with them.
God DOESN'T exists for the people who say he NEVER communicates with them.
Nothing anyone says can change either of their minds.
Only the individual can change his view.

I've been here about a year maybe less so I didn't know much about Minimus
But it seemed like every time I came to see what was happening on the site he posted some question.
And I got used to him being around and saying something about -----Something.
And I EXPECTED HIM TO ALWAYS BE THERE.
THEN HE WAS GONE-----------JUST LIKE THAT------NO WARNING--NO GOODBYES-----JUST MISSING ONE DAY.
And it reminded my of how easily I can go or the ones I love can go with no warning, no good byes.
So I spend about half a day calling all my family---JWs who are still believers, and JWs who have woken up, and I told them that I love them and I'm glad they are my family.
I got a lot of mixed reactions. The family that are still believers told me that perhaps I should start studying the bible and consider coming back to Jehovah----LOL!
I told them I had no intentions of ever being a JW but that I just wanted to tell them I loved them because maybe tomorrow they won't be around. They tried to convince me that the end would be here very soon and more than likely they won't be dying of old age-------(I don't think they consider the fact THAT THEY ARE ALREADY OLD 70S AND UP)
So I reminded them that even the Bible tells us that anyone one of us could die in the coming week. They either forgot or didn't want to admit this was possible.
(James 4:14) . . .whereas YOU do not know what YOUR life will be tomorrow. For YOU are a mist appearing for a little while and then disappearing. . .
And my JW family members that have woken up, some of them started crying and reciprocated, others invited me for dinner, and others were grateful that I was back in their lives.
MINIMUS----wherever you are brother, rest in peace.
Sooner or later, we will be joining you brother.

I actually heard about six screens only a couple of times in reddit and it wasn't good. They always referred to Six Screens as some nut.
Now I concur. And that woman is really messed up in the head, using someone's passing as an opportunity to vent.
Only CRAZIES do that!

I didn't realize Satan was in the Pharmaceutical business.
Does Pfizer know this?

How old was Minimus? I thought he was young like 40.
I hope it was not Covid.
That just messed my day. I hope there is some mistake.

If God exists, what would be a good reason why he never communicates or helps his creation by intervention?
by pistolpete inyou have probably heard all kinds of excuses why god doesn’t communicates with his creation or why he doesn’t intervene.. some examples.. no one can see god because he is a spirit.. but we can hear god---yet he chooses not to talk to humanity.. god only communicates with certain people.
moses, samuel, abraham, etc.
but there are many people today who also claim that god spoke to them yet we ignore them but believe god spoke to people who lived thousands of years ago and we can’t really verify if that was so.

Coming up with excuses for a God who isn't there?
How about "He isn't there." ?
What if he is??

Look at it another way - suppose there was a consciousness that decided to manifest as the universe. Everything, everyone is this divine consciousness. This consciousness wants everyone to recognize the divinity within as that is where divinity is hidden. Our job is to wake up and realize this.
Yes, this is a possibility!
People in the past, like in the time of Moses or Jesus, had no idea about things such as galaxies, solar systems, etc.
Perhaps we are getting closer to finding out what the hell is going on.
