  Infinity versus nothing

  by Fisherman in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  some people like to believe in something others believe in nothing; so in what location did the substance that expanded into the time/space universe exist before the big bang?

  where did the energy that caused the big band come from?

  how did the substance that became the big bang change from being inert and sterile and come to life to having the properties and drive that it does?

  it is believed that photons, and some sub-atomic particles (not being 3 dimensional) do not occupy space) Fisherman

  photons in a vacuum also do not occupy time, but time does not disappear because of that.

  photons, in movement, exist in two space dimensions, but space has not disappeared because of that, so: at least time might be fundamental and some kind of ur space.

  Positive and negative energy might balance to zero in an equation or on [a] balance, but that does not mean zero, but 2 energies. The same with matter, vs. antimatter, not zero matter, but 2 matters. (or a lot of energy if the equation is solved)

  Infinity is just that, going from negative infinity through zero to positive infinity still gives you only infinity,

  Gravity, a result of matter via Higgs, slows down, even halts movement through time, but that does not make time disappear, because it exists regardless of that distinct gravity field. so:

  with both time and energy, ur dimensions possibly fundamental, the conditions are set for pre-big bang scenarios, beyond our ken, imho.

  blondie, thanks for cutting through the fog.again. my 2 cents, for wt's downplaying the anointed's annoying fleshly corruption:

  Par. 8, translating I Cor.5:1 as "--living with his father's wife", rather than "having" (NWT) or "sleeping" with her, perhaps one of his 18 year old step mothers. ? The anointed would not do that, would they? , they are only one heartbeat away from perfect immortality, .-- living with them perhaps. not more. WT white wash.

  A serious question for any who believe in any God of any religion who think God is interested in humans.

  the world health organization states that in the year 2015 ,5.9 million children died under the age of 5 years of age.. in 2010 the death rate for children under the age of 5 years of age was 7.6 million.

  thats over 13 million in just 2 years .

  i dont think you need to be a rocket scientist to conclude that since mankind has been on the earth for however long you want to believe and i`m just going on a conservative estimate of 6000 years by the above figures i quoted their would be billions of children under 5 yearsof age that would have died.

  Considering that all species produce fruit, offspring to procreate, we as top predators are the lucky ones. Consider the millions of seeds a Sequoia produces in it's lifetime, only one surviving needed to replace the parent, keep the species going.--

  All the rest is food- for thought.

  "--good news something beyond the good news we declared to you, let him be accursed --"Jerryh:

  marked in bold to allow wt lovers to consider, whether adding the" overlapping generation" is prudent, since it will extend the kingdom rule of 1914 beyond a biblical generation, and into the far future. ~2075, thus exposing the authors and publishers (that count time) to being classed as accursed. Analizing, not supporting

  this was sent to me from doug shields blog.

  for those who like stats and numbers may find this of interest.. 1914 – recognizing the ”the elephant in the room”.

  the problem with the date ”1914 ad” lays with the two calendars that are involved – jewish and gregorian.

  no wonder the end and rapture did not happen in 1914 in Brooklyn. carpentry was so simple in the middle east. make the joints fit, this does not.

  perry, how are you connected to the commercial 8 posts ago? and: that is an impressive list of Dino DNA related information, but the bible is so wrong in other aspects than this narrow bio/timing field you presented. (not that the preserved bio matter would prove Dinos lived during the 49 000 years that Gen 1-49 partially covers. (according to the jubilee year theory adherents )

  God’s silence teaches more than what the “revealed scriptures” do!

  by anointed1 in

  objective reading of scriptures can see many human thoughts in them.

  objective analysis of religions would show that they exist primarily for their own benefit.

  is science too travelling in the same direction?

  "Science" is so many specialties, and getting more so. how it is used though, is another matter. Science needs money and that comes from politicians. sad to be a driven genius, but ending up as a fundraiser, even prostituting your services to do your stuff, see W. von Braun, the other expat working on the east coast.

  Spiritual paradise or proverbial straitjacket?

  by UnshackleTheChains in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  noas a current or past jehovah's witness, do you / or did you feel part of a spiritual paradise with full liberty in christ as the watchtower society/organisation describes?.

  or do you / did you feel you were wearing a proverbial straitjacket in the sense you feel / felt restricted and controlled by the watchtower society / organisation?.

  bunch of stunted clones" half banana:

  
  When I think of paradise Eden, a garden, I think of gorgeous variety,

  Trees to grasses. Flowers; -- spiritually, Wt land is like a single crop GMF field stretching to the horizon.

  case in point. listen to the conversations after the meeting. Indoctrination over, all subjects are broached,-- except spiritual ones.

  wow! to add, brothers now do sit down conversations too, like sisters, funny without the skirts. No more stand up talks for up and coming young males , no need to train them, clicking on tablets is all that is required to serve. .

  Yes, Genesis, 1-49 is history. period.

  not to be taken seriously, proven wrong by research, evidence. Latter day photo dramas notwithstanding.
