billions of people around the world beleive in a god of some sort or other who exerts some power or influence to some degree or other in lifes affairs .. i don`t think there would be anywhere near that figure that would entertain the possability of extra terrestial life elsewhere in the universe.. and i find that curious .. the ancients didn`t know that their were other humans on other continents on this planet until they ventured out and found them .. we live somewhere in the milky way galaxy with millions of suns and planets that orbit them.. our galaxy is only one of trillions if not zillions of galaxys in the known universe.. look at the diversity of life on just this one planet earth ,what possabilitys could exist elsewhere ?
on alien worastronomers can use the hubble space telescope to view galaxies near the edge of the observable universe (the region of space from which light has had a chance to reach us within the last 13.77 billion years).
by examining a very tiny portion of the sky, counting up the number of visible galaxies in the universe in that specific region, and then multiplying that number to account for all the regions of the sky, astronomers estimate the number of galaxies in the universe.
Gods are an abstract inherently from human imagination and ignorance.
Since there are approximately 10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000
Planets in the universe I would say there is a probable chance that there other planets with living organisms/life on them, whether they have the capability to travel into outer space is another question of probability.
to be a witness you had to accept whatever spiritual food was being dished out.
even if it didn’t make any sense, we were expected to believe.
now that we are out of the cult, do you find yourself a person who doesn’t just accept the status quo?
After 60 years of living I've learned to not believe in anything.
There is more virtue in accepting and knowing how to discern and evaluate information that comes to you in creating a true reality.
are you sometimes dumbfounded at the direction the governing body takes?.
thousands of documents proving 607 bce is wrong, yet the gb sticks to the date, why?.
the generation that would not die, yet they continue by introducing an overlapping generation.. disfellowshipping at a time when everyone is leaving, not a good idea, yet they continue to disfellowship.. here is a video that addresses these questions.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kbgeqhp9o9i.
They believe in the selling of their delusions to the public that they propagate have created a vast Kingdom of wealth and power of which they themselves live off to their own sustaining enjoyment and use.
Jehovah the almighty one indeed .
dear how can i get the original divorce transcript from russell vs russell separation/divorce ?
i only find excerpts from the process: wt 1906 07/15 http://www.tj-encyclopedie.org/séparation_légale_des_époux_russell
, books from edmond gruss, duane magani, joseph f. zygmunt, ph.d. thesis, barbara harrison and newspaper brooklyn eagle news.
I think old Charlie was bouncing little Rosa and when the divorce case occurred he shoved her off to Australia so she couldn't be called to testify.
Well a religious Pastor /preacher having sexaul improprieties while being married, that never happens !

They certainly are not delusional about their lofty position they have within organization.
They probably are reminded of that when the get to travel around the world at the WTS's expense and get greeted like celebrities.
Aww... Jehovah really works wonders
i’ve noticed a change in family attitude recently, like there is just something extra on their mind.
i even had to call my brother to check if he was dying and too scared to tell me.
anyway, i saw a video last night my saying jws think we only have 12 months left before armageddon so thought maybe this is the reason for changes attitude.
Sad how these manipulative brainwashers do this to people.
The WTS has been fear fearmongering for over a century
Isn't freedom of religion just great ?
watching in on my wife's zoom meeting last night, there was an item about discipline is love.
they played a 'caleb' animated cartoon and then the instructions were 'if possible, ask selected young children' several questions.. it seems however, that there are no children in my wife's current congregation so the questions were all answered by retired brothers and sisters.
the congregation mainly consists of elderly people (like us) and the few of childbearing age seem not interested in having children.
Why dont they tell all the JWs children that they should be killed for dishonoring their parents by emulating the bible scriptures ?
Those ancient Hebrews sure knew how to rear up children didn't they ?
have you gone back to that- or lost you faith because of 'brothers'?.
Thanks for the info DJW
Just sounds like a real silly condescending word.
Either way TruthMatters used the word in a nonsensical inappropriate way
i found this experience on reddit today.
disfellowshipping never really bothered me.
i always thought it was just another way of getting rid of members that weren't welcome anymore.. but i've changed my mind.
It can cause suicides .
Enough said.
i hope this is in the right area.
i've been studying the 2520 days/years 607/587/586 debacle.
for a while now i have felt 1914 was wrong.
Scholar's position is attached to his personal religious convictions of being a JWS.
If the WTS heads one day say we were wrong about 607 BCE, he in turn will say the same.
There is no logical reasoning or intellectual honesty in religious convictions.
