God`s Creation ,if He/She had a hand in it at all ,then why ?

by smiddy3 in

every living life form on this planet survives by killing ,eating every other living life form that exists on this planet.. one life form preys on another life form for it`s survival from the most primitive to the most highest complexity.. and i mean "every" living life form from the lowest to the highest that exists in the world.. this is just the natural order of things that has been going on since man has observed his surroundings.. their is no room for a god of love in the real world.

no wonder "they" came up with the phrase "survival of the fittest ".

"every living life form on this planet survives by killing ,eating every other living life form that exists on this planet".. this cannot be denied ,it`s a universal truth.

Where is God`s love in that truth ?

The human species is getting there, but we're still a long road away.

What I mean is humans will eventually "See" that all evidence points to the FACT--that even if there is a God, his purpose was never to have a paradise earth where death didn't exist for humans or animals.

What we see in the animal Kingdom and the human species is REALITY.

It has taken literally thousands of years for humans to finally "START" questioning the idea of a Loving Creator.

It will probably take another span of time for humans to finally Accept the inevitable, that it was Never anyone's intentions to have humans or animals live forever.

Dying is an aspect of life that is very difficult to accept. Humans that have a fairly decent life, have family and friends whom they love---have the most difficult time letting go. And we all understand the feeling. No one wants to lose their parents, children, and a good partner.

It was these types of people that invented GOD----a Super, Almighty Being that could grant humans everlasting life.

In human history there have been numerous Gods that have been created by humans to allay the fear of dying and been gone forever----never to exist again. Those Gods eventually become obsolete and New Ones are Created to suit the new culture.

At this point we are nearing the end of the Jesus / Jehovah God belief. People are starting to see that both of these deities were Created to inspire hope in living forever whether in heaven or on a paradise earth.

With this in mind we can understand why it is actually impossible to reason with someone who has left the Watchtower but still holds the Bible as the Inspired word of God even though the contents of the book contain tons of absurdities.

It's an EMOTIONAL THING tied with everlasting life vs everlasting destruction.

I think we sometime argue or debate a believer in the bible because we either want confirmation that we are right about the bible NOT being inspired, and at the same time we are hoping that perhaps there is some hope out there of a Loving God that will give us Everlasting Life.

how long after a fade does the local hall keep your records?

by mickbobcat in

so i have not been to a kh for 26 years.

if i wanted to dissociate what would be the procedure and is there any gain in doing it so long after i left?.

I'm not a JW but I have a lot of family that are jws and several are elders. I've asked that question. They have told me that they keep the records forever or until it becomes known that someone died. Some elders though don't follow instructions and clean up and "Accidentally" lose certain records---whatever that means.

Are you open to having a count as to how many ex-JW`s on this site are vaccinated x2 jabs. ?

Its a pity there is so much confusion and mixed messages about these vaccines out there and I don`t doubt the sincerity of either side of the debate but I guess we all just have to go with our gut feeling and trust our own judgement.

Yes it is.

If I was in my 60s and not feeling like my 20s, I would probably get the jab. Because the evidence points to "Older" people falling prey to Covid. Covid is a harsher virus than the flu and it's taking out the old people.

60 is old, but it's also to young to die. If I was 60 I would do all I could to live another 40 healthy years.

If the Almighty, Powerful, benevolent God had a book written for humans, what would it contain?

by pistolpete in

i know for a fact it would not start off with a talking snake, magical fruit, invisible beings that desire beautiful women to have sex with.. and it wouldn’t end with a flying dragon, a two horned lamb, locusts that resembled horses with men’s faces, but with women’s hair and teeth of lions.

and the book wouldn’t allow for hundreds of millions of religions to spurt from it.

i think the first thing a book written by god would have, is that it would be written in a way that all languages could understand without being translated.. regardless of what language you would speak, we could read it and understand what it said.

And not dangle a carrot of hope in them that all in his good time he will do something about it and not before.

Dangling a carrot is the way humans control people. It's religious spiritual leaders that say;

"This is what God wants, and if you do it you get Everlasting life.

I think the first thing a book written by God would have, is that it would be written in a way that all languages could understand WITHOUT BEING TRANSLATED.

Regardless of what language you would speak, we could read it and understand what it said.

Information that would help us understand diseases and genetic defects and how to treat them.

Information on how to avoid war and control population growth.

Whether God wanted to be worshiped or whether He just wanted us to live our life without any form of worship.

Updates every trillion years.

Being straight from the beginning, on whether his purpose for us was to live a limited life or if he had plans to have us live forever.

What else?

JoenB75

I am generally not pessimistic about the future but I wonder in light of the tendency towards fascism an policebrutality if a new holocaust is under the way against those not vacc'ed.

It's different in the USA than it was in Germany during the Nazi era. There are about a Billion Guns in the hands of citizens. The police and politicians know this. And a lot of military men I know off would side with the citizens considering their families would be a target.

And I'm not talking just pistols.

This is what wife's buy their husbands for birthdays and husbands buy their wife for mother's day.
