The feelings of empathy, kindness and consideration are simply byproducts of a chemical reaction?
Almost correct! More like the end result of a chemical reaction, rather than a "byproduct" (although some here may scream "semantics").
Furthermore, if these chemicals in the brain (known as "neurotransmitters") get out of balance, conditions such as depression usually result. Treatment for depression simply involves the correction of that chemical imbalance.

Joey,
The feelings we experience are caused by neuro-chemical reactions.
Exactly!
And when the movement of neuro-chemical transmitters is in any way hindered, conditions like depression result.

TonusOH,
Well said - with the key word being “measurable”.
now that we have the tick-a-box field service reporting method, how are brothers measured fit for an appointment as a ms or elder?
has there been clarification in any of the recent elders schools or in meetings with the co?.
Or an “Elder” barely in his twenties trying to counsel a woman of late middle-age.
All she would have to do would be remind him that she “once used to change his nappies” . After that, it would just about be game over!
rutherford wrote in 1925 "millions now living will never die"...they died.
he also promised that moses and david and all the old bible heroes would live with him in his mansion.
only he lived there till he died in 1942...100 years and not much changed..
Ro1234,
Your guess is as good as anybody else’s.
(Which to date have added up to five-eights of three-quarters of seven-tenths of two- thirds of Fanny Adams!)
speaking to the general public:.
frequently asked questions...is there a dress code?no.
however, jehovah’s witnesses try to dress modestly and respectfully.. meanwhile, speaking to members out of the other side of their mouth:.

Right on the money!

Experts are the biggest idiots
Yeah - I reckon!

Fifty years on, also, from 1975 - another date they affixed great importance to. (With identical results to their 1925 prediction).

One thing at least remains obvious - this 1,500 year long argument is still no nearer to being resolved than it ever was.
this information is supposed to be in the upcoming march wt.
(i don’t go on jw dot org).
it would sound like they are hinting at a change in thinking.. in my opinion, any such change would be yet another slap in the face to faithful pimis along with those other recent changes.. there are so many heartfelt responses on that thread and a lot of justified anger.. don’t know what to say except that i’m so glad i never listened to the religion all those years ago.
LHG,
From the author David Ignatius:
”Often, the biggest decisions we make in life aren’t really decisions at all. They are the product of habit and momentum - things that have been going on for long enough that that have built up their own speed and force, and have become difficult to stop or deflect.
So you let them happen.
A lot of marriages are like that, and career choices and decisions about where to go to college, or whether to have children, or where to live. We call them decisions, but they really aren’t.They come to us pre-made, the sum of so many previous events and determinations that they have have a weight which feels like a layer of time”.
In short, we are not as free to make our own choices as some may have us believe!
