Should a person die for their religious BELIEFS?

by Fisherman in

in ancient israel many of the prophets were killed as a result of their religious assignments —from god.

even soldiers were sent out to fight against idolatrous “uncircumcised” and logically some died for example jonathan, the son of king saul.

these soldiers were said to be fighting the wars of jehovah and there was no miraculous salvation for everybody all of the time.

NO, a futile, terrible, needless , waste of life.

Watching the show

by Teddnzo in

i’m new to apostate stuff but have gone deep down a few rabbit holes of late so want to see both sides to everything .

im going to a congregation but am viewed as a bit of a black sheep because i question lots of things but not enough to cause too much trouble.. i’m intrigued watching the show.

in my heart i’m pretty sure the governing body are fakes and charlatans.. the entire thing is a big con game.

Welcome Teddnzo,

keep asking questions.

What about Ps.146:3 Do not put your trust in nobles nor in the son of earthling man to whom no salvation belongs etc,etc.Jer.17:5 Cursed is the able bodied man who puts his trust in earthling man,

[GOOD NEWS] My PIMI wife became PIMQ!

by psyco in

after a few years, unexpectedly, my pimi wife became pimq.. today she even asked me a question that i found very interesting:.

if god has been anointing women to be part of the kings and priests over humankind, why cannot they currently rule and guide 8 million people being part of the governing body (acquiring experience in that role as well)?.

That was a good Q your wife asked ,let`s hope she starts asking more .It could be an early sign she is starting to wake up ?

Is AI going to change the world?

had lunch with a friend, whose a lecturer in the accounting dept.

of one of australia's best universities.

he told me he expects to lose his job at some point in the next 5 years, as the accounting dept, will disappear, as all accounting will be done by ai programs, so why teach it.. if his fears are correct, that means that any profession that involves the mind, may one day face the same future.

I had a glimpse of something on the TV news this morning talking about research being done on merging human brain cells with AI technology ?

If that`s not scary I don`t know what is ? Should humans be worried ?

I think so .though it will be after I have left the planet.

Are You Raising An Introvert?

by darth frosty in

its not easy being an introvert in an extrovert worldespecially when youre a kid.

it is even more difficult if none of the adults in the kids life recognize that the child is an introvert.

this doesnt happen only when the childs parents are extroverts, but also with introverted parents who have never understood their own introverted nature.. .

I don`t know how I missed this post ,maybe I just didn`t want to reply ?

I`m quite comfortable in my own space and never alone ,I have my inner self to keep me company.

I don`t feel the need for people to be around me.
