what effect has having a whole section of your life proved to be a falsehood had on you?.
anybody that has been a witness will understand the time, effort, comitment and money that it took to be a member.
the way it dominated our lives, affected every decision we made and shaped our future.. some have left and turned to other faiths and some (like myself) have lost all religious faith (and i make no appology for that).
I try not to be too dogmatic anymore and to test things out more fully.
I think I am more open to ideas that are the contary of my own.
This is the way we should all be.
If youre not like that then you should be.
Look this is the truth, I just know I'm right.
If you don't listen you will DIE!
just watching the news just now and another old man has been killed by burglars.. what would you do if you found an intruder in your house?.
do you feel its right to disable them in some way , if you can?.
would you let them run?.
Yes bally
Remember that case a few years ago where that farmer blasted that young burlar to death and was sent down for it.What was that stuff you deleated?
I think that if youre scared and theres some one there , you don't have time to think and I would be forgiving of someone who was pushed to kill.But,it could be that people over react due to Tv and films and may cause harm when done is needed.
Is it really just to kill someone for trying to steal from you?
I think most burglars would run a mile if confronted by a householder, but you just dont know do you.
If someone does overreact and hurts an intruder ,it only serves him right for putting himself in that place.
You don't jump into a lions den and wonder why they want to eat you.

I came home from the meeting once to find the house ransacked by a burglar.So much for Gods protection.
It made me feel angry for ages.
If I encountered someone in my house I don't know whether the fight or the flight would take over.
I suppose it depends on how big and how many.

If you felt your life was threatend or that of your family would you go so far as to kill?
Or to put it another way, if your son was the burglar, and was killed by the occupants of a house he was burling , would you hold them responsable or is it your sons fault for being there?
don't blame the witnesses ,its just our brains that make us believe cookoo things.. yes thats right , its our brains that are faulty.. look if you feed the wrong info into a computer it won't do what you want it to.. if you feed the wrong info into a human , then just like a computer it can only follow its commands.. so the brain is limited in how it thinks by what it knows.. well actually its more complicated than this.. but i think, who wants to be a slave to a false organisation?.
no one.people are just miss informed.. so when someone shuns us or does something else silly i think its just like my computer crashing, their brains are just having a crisis.. yes i do get angry , but humans are slaves to their minds which are slaves to the information it takes in.

evolution is not the answer to most of the important questions about life and how it got here.. if current evolutionary ideas are true they only tell a very small part of the story.. simply how random changes to animate and inanimate things can be mechanicly selected by sutible enviroments and prosper in them.. there is still lots about us to explain.. what is the source of the matter in our universe, what caused the "big bang"?.
what is consciousness and how does it work?.
what causes the fundemental forces and how do they work?.
It seams that my post may have been slightly misunderstood. I'll try and explain better.
"Evolution is not the answer to most of the important questions about life and how it got here."
What I am saying is that many people exept evolution as the means humans arrived on earth ,while I'm not arguing about that here, what I'm doing is looking at were did consciousness and the matter of the universe come from.
Maybe consciousness just comes from a certain configuration of atoms, I don't know, and nor does anyone else, so the question , the most important I feel, still remains , as without consciousness humans are nothing.
"If current evolutionary ideas are true they only tell a very small part of the story.
Simply how random changes to animate and inanimate things can be mechanicly selected by sutible enviroments and prosper in them."
What I am saying here is that evolution just describes a process , it doesn't tell us why the universe exists or the laws that hold it together , which I feel are more fundemental issues.
There is still lots about us and the universe to explain.
So the point is that there is lots to learn , we dont have any of the answers yet to the major questions about the universe and what it is and where it came from.
Some people confuse understanding evolution with this.
several enemies of the watchtower have ebulliently expressed the sentiment: let the games begin.
indeed, i too share that desire to let the games begin, so-to-speak.
but, what exactly are we to expect when once the games commence?
Will we play British Bull Dogs?
I used to love that game in school.

What is the source of the matter in our universe, what caused the "big bang"?
What is consciousness and how does it work?
What causes the fundemental forces and how do they work?
At what point does the quatum world become the real world?
In fact do things exist without any conscious beings observing them?
What is time ?
Lots of other questions.
I feel there may be many suprisses in store for humans as we continue to try and understand life and the universe.
i was looking forward to the future, before it was drasticly cut short by my realisation that i will probably die in about 50 years.. but what kind of advances will we see in that time and on into the future.. just whatching a film from 5 or 10 years ago it seams like a different world.. i was watching a film last night and looking at the size of the mobile phones ,they looked like telephone boxes, and of course no internet, computers in cars to tell where you are or dvd players etc.. go back a little further and we have no videos ,no computers at all.. back a hundred years or so and we loose cars, plane , tv and most things we take for granted.. so what does the future hold?.
i find it quite exciting to think of what advances could be made.. cures for diseases , improvments to the human body?more information on the universe,improved transport lots of things.. going massivly into the future how about this, ressurection of dead people?
(even people who lived thousands of years before like us).
Hay maybe we could use the energy from farting to power our cities in the future.
Better get the beans out to power up my engines.

Could we reach the stage where we can rebuild people out of DNA ?
Could there be a world without illness and death?
Could humans build the paradise that many wish for?
Think ,if it is possible for our bodies to build a human , why can't we replecate this?All diseases must have cures , all symtoms of ageing are diseases so we could have no ageing.
Humans could spread out into the universe and populate any suitable planet.
Or prehaps we'll just blow ourselves up.
What do you think?
