lol. I guess he'd have to use his God Magic to alter physics just on earth so that the climate was the same worldwide. It's a pretty narrow band of geography where humans could go naked year round. What parts of the Earth get more sunlight would be irrelevant. The Ocean currents making Europe a friendly climate instead of frozen like central Canada would be irrelevant. It would be a completely non-understandable world except for 'God did it'.

Naked in the New World
by neat blue dog ini know there was a painting of a woman being resurrected naked and someone coming to greet her holding clothes, but what about after perfection, after the thousand years?.
the idea is we're supposed to achieve what adam lost by returning to human perfection, so wouldn't that include not wearing clothes, especially as the act of adam and eve hiding in the trees and sewing fig leaves signified shame, and imperfection passed on through the reproductive organs.
has the wt ever addressed this?

I was told by those that were older and grown up that when the millennium was over we would be perfect and so have no bodily shame and would not wear clothes.

Can TiKToK spy on you?
by Fisherman inseveral years ago i was having a conversation with a neighbor inside a store and he told me that he was in the park one day with a friend who was then struck by lightning and after a few moments after being struck they walked away from there and while they were walking away my neighbor told me that his friend got hit by lightning a second time ki&&ing him.
after telling me this story lightning struck and we heard thunder.
coincidence or act of god?

I've never bought a smart phone, and that is due to a combination of several reasons.
I don't know how you've accomplished this, but I salute you. I miss the world of not having several mild anxiety attacks each day, every time I hear the ding of a text message. (it's usually someone from work asking a pointless question to cover themselves. Sorta like email but much worse ). You can't even ignore your friends if in a bad mood because "I know you got my message, you always check your phone, so dont act like you didnt" :(

In a number of respects I think my life was better in 1995 than it is now. I also think the internet was better then
I agree. I miss the 90's internet. I remember the naive excitement of first getting online. Everyone will have a world of knowledge at their fingertips. Not taking into consideration that it would become less a Library of Alexandria and more a town square for conspiracy nutters and narcissists sharing pictures of what they had for lunch.

The elephant in the room post
by joey jojo inis it ok to talk about the ongoing post about 'he who must not ne named"?.
my perspective: im a neutral observer.
i dont know lloyd evans, im not an active member of any ex-jw group (except this one i guess).

I don't care for what the guy did. But its hilarious how some of the same people clutching their pearls over Lloyd Evans (an unknown YouTuber outside of exjw world) and calling him an immoral grifter....are passionately in support of a certain other immoral grifter with blonde hair and orange skin .

NASA: Humans Back to the Moon
by Gerard innasa plans return to moon by 2020
"this vision aims to return humans to the moon, and then to use it as a staging point for a manned mission to mars.
i wonder if jws will be required to canvas those areas too.

I dont expect to meet Vulcans on Europa. But maybe something like tube worms that don't rely on photosynthesis would be amazing. -

This may be more suitable for a different thread...but...going to Mars, at least right now, doesn't thrill me. If and when we do, i'll be on the edge of my seat of course, but for the money, things like the JWST are more interesting. There are questions i'd like to have answered before I die and robotic missions and things like JWST seem more likely to answer those and give more bang for the buck than the expense of keeping humans alive in a tin can. .
My dream NASA project would be a robotic mission to Europa to see what if anything is in that ocean beneath the ice.

Yes. Your phone and websites share data. Some worse than others, but it's pretty much the world we live in for the past 2+ decades. There are ways to mitigate it, but you can't completely escape it unless you decide to live a completely 1995 life.
Its a problem. You can read pages of disclaimers when you buy a phone or download an app and maybe find out what is and isn't being shared but i think you're just having to take their word for it. Unless you're knowledgeable enough to read and understand all their code. ( That you won't have complete access to even if you did possess such skill. ) -

Watchtower vs Islam: Why the deafening silence?
by raymond frantz inwhy has the watchtower failed spectacularly to evangelize to the muslims?
considering the recent influx of muslim people in european countries you would think that some attempt from the religion that touts the are preaching the good news of the kingdom in all the inhabited earth would have been made.instead the only meaningful attempt dates back to 1953 ,almost 70 years ago!!!!

"I have met Moslems on min"
Now that's a colonial era spelling I haven't seen in a while. Looking forward to when you describe your interactions with "colored folks".

@suavojr:
George Carlin said it funnier and wittier in that full skit, but it coincided with some of my reasons for leaving. My primary reasons for leaving were not so much JW Doctrine specifically (most other faiths are similarly nutty) as much as the absurdity of belief in general.
If a person is sick or struggling, an all knowing God would already know this. Why would he be more inclined to help if you begged him to? And why would he be even more inclined to help in direct proportion to the number of people begging on your behalf?
"Pray for the people of Charleston in the path of Hurricane Whatever" Hurricane changes course as they do and hits Wilmington instead. The faithful of Charleston give thanks for the miracle their prayers achieved.
