  Underage child: PIMI vs PIMO parents rights

  by psyco in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i am a pimo, inactive, parent of an underage child.

  i was wondering what rights i have in regards to avoid that my child will be baptized when still underage, not having read the entire bible and before being able to clearly evaluate all the alternatives and consequences (like it happened to me) whereas the other pimi parent has all the rights to do it.

  any experiences about children in a pimi vs pimo parents situation?

  I do not understand why you should be considered bad parents if you do not have your children submitted to you

  2. beliefs

  after creating the first human couple, god had 100% of not submitted human creatures (0 out of 2).at the time of the flood, he had 99,9% of not submitted human creatures (8 out of thousands if not even more).. nowadays, he has 99,9% of not submitted human creatures (8 millions jws out of 8 billions humans).. but he is considered a "good" god or father of his human creatures: why then is having submitted children a requirement for christians or for being considered "good" parents as jws?.

  i mean: if he does not have more than 0,1% of submitted humans, how could i do better?

  Free Will - Does It or Does It Not Exist?

  by truth_b_known in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  being born-in and raised as one of jehovah's witnesses i remember a common theme or phrases used by the watchtower in its theory of why things are the way they are -.

  jehovah created humans.

  jehovah created humans as free moral agents.

  It is still difficult for me to think about mind equals brain in terms of physical causes-effects.

  In physics a cause, like electricity presence, produces an effect, like a light on or an engine movement.

  Whereas, the absence of electricity produces another effect, like a light off or an engine not moving.

  In the brain, an effect like a psysical movement of an arm is produced by an electro-chemical stimulus (the mind thought "I move my arm"). But an effect like an arm not moving is still produced by an electro-chemical stimulus (the mind thought "I do not move my arm" or "I (just) think of moving my arm without doing it").

  In the latest case, think about the thought "imagine a pink elephant" which should correspond to the electro-chemical state X (visualisation of a pink elephant) and then think about the thought "do not imagine a pink elephant" which should still correspond to the electro-chemical state X (visualisation of a pink elephant), because it is impossible not to think about a pink elephant without thinking it...

  It depends...

  We have different schools and paradigms both in Psychology and Philosophy.

  One of this is: our mind equals our brain. In this way you could think and reason in terms of our "psysical" universe and accordingly Neurology equals Psychology and Psychiatry.

  But the psysical explanation of the mind (that equals the brain) does not explain other fenomena.

  For example, a thought (something we cannot explain psysically) can move an arm (something physical). This means that we could have physical effects from not psysical causes...

  Other examples are optical illusions and the stroboscopic movement. In the first case, our mind sees what psysically is not in the stimulus that the brain receives. In the second case, the mind perceives a movement where there is not psysical movement in the stimulus that the brain receives. In these cases, you could consider the results or effects like more than the simple sum of the single parts of the perceveid psysical universe concluding that mind and brain are not exactly the same thing...

  Quite complicated... 😊

  How could the publishers know that "no one should feel pressured to partecipate in any specific method of preaching" since this sentence will not be announced?

  The Genesis 3:15 woman.

  by Fisherman in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  genesis 3:15 says that the woman’s seed would be in enmity with the serpent’s seed.

  although the bible reveals that the woman’s seed is jesus and christians that go to heaven with christ, it does not identify the woman directly.

  we at jw believe that the woman is symbolic.

  I found interesting what the Quran 6:101 says regarding Allah (God):

  "[He is] Originator of the heavens and the earth. How could He have a son when He does not have a companion [i.e., wife] and He created all things? And He is, of all things, Knowing.".

  If talking about father and son is to compare to humans life helping us to understand, how could a father have a son without a mother? Who could be the mother if Jesus was the first to be created?

  Am I wrong?
