Link between relationships and health/happiness

by ExBethelitenowPIMA in

even though i’m agnostic so will not commit to either intelligent design or chance, i love being part of the congregation for the close personal relationships.. there is such a great atmosphere inside the congregation it really is like a family and you don’t get this anywhere else.. a real friend is someone you can rely on when you are in need.

if things go wrong for you and you are going through a hard time you know real friends will be there for you.

as long as you didn’t bring it on yourself by going against gods law then you have to prove you are repentant first of course.. there is a lot of research now saying that good friends is essential for healthy and happiness.

"Some now say it wasn’t monkeys humans evolved from, well whatever it was before full humans,"

We share a common ancestor with monkeys, and if you go back far enough we share a common ancestor with crocodiles, oak trees, moss and snails.

We didn't "evolve from monkey's" any more than a bald eagle evolved from a sparrow. They share a common ancestor.

I didn't evolve from my 6 year older 2nd cousin. We are two branches of a family with a set of great grandparents being our common origin. So it is with life on earth as a whole.

-Im genuinely interested are you saying some humans evolved from one animal and other from another. Or do you think all humans today evolved from one animal possibly monkeys?
I suspect evolutionists don’t think it through. Whichever animal we did evolve from where is all the archeological evidence of half human skulls?
Once proof can be shown evolution is not a theory anymore but at the moment no proof has been found. Don’t you think that is unusual if this happened over billions of years and we have found other fossils older than that?
This is why I’m agnostic

I don’t know why this isn’t talked about more but it’s official teaching that some will jump that side of the fence last min.

Its even in some videos with prison guards during the great trib jumping the right side of the fence.

I actually really wonder how many mature sensible physically in JWs are actually secretly like me and subconsciously agnostic?

I have heard sister say out loud “even if it wasn’t for the hope of Paradise I still love the meeting and ministry” I think this means there a chance in their mind the Bible may not be correct or we don’t have the total correct understanding of it.

This is me exactly

Not at all Stan. I’m sitting on the fence and if some proof of evolution was ever found in archeology or something I would jump that side of the fence.

the second part of your question is interesting. If the Bible turns out to be correct then I will jump that side of the fence.

I enjoy being part of the congregation and all the activities but I will look back with no regrets if I grow old and the great tribulation never happened

There is a lot of research now saying that good friends is essential for healthy and happiness. They say it can’t be friends that you don’t see often in real life, it has to real friends in the real world where you meet up multiple time per week.

Is there really anything wrong with me staying inside the congregation when I am agnostic and I’m going to jump either side of the fence if there is a reasons to.

If there is ever any evidence to support chance as the start of everything like the missing link is found then I will jump that side of the fence.

“missing link, hypothetical extinct creature halfway in the evolutionary line between modern human beings and their anthropoid progenitors. “

Some now say it wasn’t monkeys humans evolved from, well whatever it was before full humans, is there any evidence, any skulls found over the bullions of year it took for humans to come? If there is credible verifiable evidence of this I will jump that side of the fence

Is the tide turning against covid vaccines?

by slimboyfat in

have you seen this video about the covid vaccines?

have you got any views on the information?

i find it worrying at least.

ExBethelitenowPIMA

Syd what in earth do you mean?

“ missing link, hypothetical extinct creature halfway in the evolutionary line between modern human beings and their anthropoid progenitors. ”

Do you think the missing link has now been found? There have been many reports over the years that it has but they all turned out to be bogus.

Who is epically stupid now?

It is a protective measure for young ones especially when their hormones are raging.

If they see someone who was immoral got dis fellow shopped and how hard it is to be reinstated then they will think twice about being immoral.

there has to be discipline that means something

im sure mistakes are made there is no perfect system

@ EX:

I saw the Chan 4 interview with Vardy. In it, they said 8 million JW's. I noted it, because that's the "number" we've been hearing for about 20 years. (yes, along with 20 million Memorial attendees)

I've heard those figures since the mid-90's. Do you REALLY think that's the case? LOL!!!!! In reality, there's no likely no more than 3 million worldwide. There's more "out" than still "in."

WT HQ has been fixing the numbers for decades in order to prop up their false facade.

-

Wing commander you just can not be right there.

Ad I was growing up and always remember the number of witnesses being in the millions the same as the population of the earth in the billions. So is that 1% roughly?

when I was young the population of the earth was about 6 billion people and the number of witnesses was 6 million. Then 7 for both and now 8 for both.

the script about the narrow road to life and just a few in it 1%, and wide and spacious the road to destruction with the 99% was always used.

if your not accurate it does cast doubt on everything else you say

As time goes on they will get away with so much

by ExBethelitenowPIMA in

when i was young we used to hear things about how they used to smoke and used to celebrate christmas etc.

we were just taught that was olden times now jehovah has clarified things.. but i was thinking about the poor older ones who had been in truth for decades who remembered those times, and they must have had doubts.. well look at the changes today in 2023.. we are supposed to just forget about 1975 and all these other things so what about the things happening in our time that we are supposed to feget about .

we should never forget that following direction to be fully vaccinated was harmful direction.

“There are about 6.9 million Jehovah's Witnesses across the world”

Wrong its over 8 million publishers and 20+million memorial attendees

Its a shame they get key fact wrong as it casts doubt over everything
