"nevermind islamic terrorists.
we need to focus on an obscure religious group that no one pays any attention to!
".
This was one key issue in my awakening.
The political system puts a ban on religion, and it’s supposedly the JWs who won’t assimilate and cause the authorities the most concern..... Islam just needs a polite “stop now, thanks”, and it’s dissolved.
Righto.
many don't know that at least 2 of current governing body are not honest about even their name.
mark sanderson is actually douglas mark sanderson.
stephen lett is mark stephen lett .
I also know of a quite few people who go by their middle names. Now I can I add a few more colossal dickheads to the list.... and Morpheus.
moses formulated his own image of god (in violation of the very essence of exodus 20:4) thus believed god is like humans who feel love is ‘you must do what i want’ [rather than giving others the space in which ‘they can do what they want and still i love them’] and conveyed into the readers this weak image of god who takes revenge/laments for not being loved.
thus ot image of god is someone who is actively involved in the responses of people on earth.. however, jesus conveyed the truth about god when he said god makes provisions for life’s enjoyment equally for all types of people alike (mathew 5:44-47) as he wishes good for all people [benevolence for its own sake] and renews the same in case they are depleted/destroyed (mathew 19:28) with no intervention whatsoever in between.
thus jesus presented an image of god who is not actively involved in the responses of people on earth because there is a guiding mechanism already in place—externally and internally.. external: people can easily choose their course of action looking at the results available in plenty because anyone can see the chain of action in anyone’s case: destiny is the result of habit, and habit is the result of tendency, and tendency is the result of repeated action, and action is the result of thinking and thinking is the result of belief system, and belief system is the result of family, religion, country … into which one is born.
... that this forum, which is such an amazing resource for those needing support for their journey from watchtower's clutches has an increasingly present representation of unreasoning politically charged loudmouths..
I see the latest threads include topics on number plates, annual meetings, music, cursive handwriting, and a host of other JW shit.
If you click on the political thread and don’t like the political opinions, harden the fuck up.
i am an elementary school teacher of the fourth grade.
in times past, students would start learning cursive handwriting in third grade and by fourth should be transitioning to writing in cursive at all times.
as you might be aware, this has all but been taken out of the curriculum.
Doctors handwriting usually bridges the gap between illegible scribble and cursive writing. So yes, it’s important we teach cursive.
what started as news of a man and woman being found unconscious on a park bench 12 days ago is escalating into an international incident.. sergei skripal had worked as a double agent for british intelligence mi6 before he was discovered and imprisoned in russia in 2006. he was later flown to england as part of a spy-swap in 2010. on sunday 4th march he was discovered along with his 33 year old daughter yulia close to a shopping centre in salisbury.. since then the story has become increasingly bizarre.
a policeman who was first to attend the scene also became critically ill and remains in hospital.
government scientists at porton down have confirmed that the cause is a russian military-grade nerve agent novichok.
Trump refuses to criticise him, for reasons best known to Putin and Trump.
You can add Putin to a long list of scum that Trump praises... Bashar al-Assad, Rodrigo Duterte, the Rocket man he loves so dearly.
trying to follow media reports in the us and elsewhere, a question occurred to me.. in the uk, religious beliefs are largely irrelevant to most people.
even those who claim adherence seem to do so in a fairly vague way and it doesn't seem to make much difference.. in the us (it seems to me) it's a much bigger issue.
the evangelical christian movement seems quite powerful politically in various iterations ("family values" etc.
Nobody stands a chance in American politics unless they believe in Jesus, it is certainly a prerequisite to running for president, it’s a real shame. The sooner we bury all religious bullshit the better.
God bless America.
in the montana sex abuse court case for the first time watchtower has been required by the courts to give a financial statement to the court to assess awards of punitive damages for negligence and (for the first time)malice in non compliance of mandatory reporting laws.. watchtower corp of new york has finances in excess of $2 billion while cc of jw is worth $49 million.
this doesn't include the pensylvania corp or what overseas branches may have.. pretty healthy bank balance by any standards..
Anyone who thinks the WTS is doing well financially may as well join them.
It’s a delusion, they’ve sold the family jewellery, and they can’t turn a profit.
its sunday am and i suggest we go for a drive.
why i do not know as we have no conversation no banter at all.. so we did and had coffee.
while we were doing so and looking at the scenery i realized she was humming wt songs to herself.
Now and then I’ll play a Kingdom Melody on the guitar.... my wife and I cringe together and smile. We vomit a little and we carry on.
Unfortunately some of those tunes stain your soul permanently.
i intend for this to be one of a series of bite-sized ops on the evidence for evolution.. introduction to dna genes are sequences of dna made up of words (codons) each of which are three letters (bases) long.
there are only four letters in the genetic alphabet (acg&t) each word or codon is the recipe for one amino acid.
there are 20 different amino acids in living organisms.
We are told by evolutionists that “just because we can’t imagine out how evolution did it doesn’t mean that a creator did it” - Perhaps evolutionists should consider that “just because we can’t imagine why a creator would do something in a certain way doesn’t mean that evolution did it”
What dribble.
You talk about “Evolutionists” like it’s a 20th century religion.
