Nah, neither the future nor Donald Trump matter to me.

LOL! Great chart. As always, I don't quite fit in any of the boxes, starting with the first one.

Thanks.

since we were jws at one time, has it influenced your view as to where your dead loved ones are now?

i know many here do not believe in anything biblical but i’m curious as to whether you believe anyone is in heaven?

Since we were JWs at one time, has it influenced your view as to where your dead loved ones are now? I know many here do not believe in anything biblical but I’m curious as to whether you believe anyone is in heaven??

This is a very interesting topic. I have mentioned before that when it comes to God/god/"god"/higher power/something out there, I don't have a belief, I have an attitude about it. I think that the same applies to where are my lost loved ones.

I don't know, but I also don't care. I don't feel like it's worth repeating what those who are non-believer think about christian and other religious believes regarding lost loved ones (or anybody else who has passed away for that matter).

I know that losing a loved one (I have lost a few) is painful, and I want to believe that their lives and the mark that they left in my life matter. And I guess I wish I knew that they are happy and ok if they are somewhere. That's the extend of how much I think about it. I celebrate their lives and the time that I had the opportunity of sharing with them.

I'm also sensitive, mindful and respectful of others who have different believes (or non-believes). Coping with their loss is very entangled with those believes, and I'm no one to mess with how others cope with losing a loved one. That's not the time or place for me to make a point or "being right".

Cognitive Dissonance meme

by neat blue dog in

i find this kind of amusing:.

a jw social media account recently posted a meme about cognitive dissonance seen here.. .

and then all the jws in the comment section predictably apply it to those in christendom..

Is that a bad thing? It applies to everything that it applies to. BTW, that's not a meme.

Eye-brow Wigs ... are a thing?

by Simon in

... and apparently justin trudeau wears them.

also, they can come off or slip down while you are doing a press-conference to a global audience.

what a god awful embarrassment this fool is, he should stick to his indian costume dress-up and dancing routine.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g46km4da3yw.
