  Where is Jehovah?

  how do we reconcile those bullshits being told at the meetings about how jehovah's eyes are upon us and how his figurative wings serves as protection to those who are destitute with the condition of these sickly sudanese refugees at this camp.. .

  tec "Because there would have been nothing for us to seek to begin with. Why develop a yearning for something that is non-existant? If you say it developed as part of our evolution or pattern thinking, whatever, well that implies a fundamntal flaw in the human species, that it cannot survive without delusion of some sort."

  This would appear to be the case. Unlike other animals we have a highly developed imagination which gives us the ability to contemplate our own demise. This same ability allows us to create a way to circumnavigate death - in our mind.

  It could be that the Achilles heel in the human race is our overly imaginative mind. It has enabled us to re-shape the world we live in and give us an abundance of choice and pleasure. Ultimately, as a race, it could be our undoing.

  Peace

  LouBelle "jah as pathetic as the greek gods."

  Steady on there LouBelle, I have more than 300 hundred Greek gods that I keep in a jar. They are very small gods.

  The petulant bullying Hebrew desert god Jah, despite sounding like a container for my gods, exists only in the ancient writings of the bible and the imagination of the Israelites. I spent 20 years talking to him before I realized I had, been had!

  As it happens I went back to spend a week in New York a few years ago. Against advice, me and the wife caught the subway to Harlem . The black people on the train made a great fuss of us and had lots of questions. The huge guard sat and talked to us too.

  In Harlem we were treated very well. Went round the museum of black people history. Interesting but understandably rather anti-white. New York was great but not the place I would want to live. Carmel along from San Francisco was great. Clint Eastwood lives there, but then he can afford to.

  Hi ya Captain - Surprisingly for a gladiator , I live on the south coast of England . I have beamed down into many of the cities in planet America . Visiting the USA is like a star ship enterprise trip, seeing so many whacko Americans. They were always friendly, polite and keen to talk. People in New York were more guarded, as in kept to themselves. That tends to happen in all big cities.

  They kept asking me what I thought of their great country. I told them it still belonged to Britain - the United States of Anglia. Could be you were better off when Royal Britannia run your country and all the soldiers wore those smart red coats. Ah, the good old days!

  guess what guys i am the opposite, now i quit cold-turkey (looking back, i should have faded correctly) i am planning on going to the memorial this month just to hear all "the friends" tell me how much they missed me.

  “No one who leaves "the truth" is ever happy?”

  Truth is absolute. It's not possible to leave the truth. Truth will follow you and pervade every moment of your life.

  Jehovah's Witnesses do not have the truth, just a pack of ever changing lies which are presented as the truth.

  So, leaving the Watchtower Society's is not the same as trying to leave the truth.

  Obviously, Christians will want to defend Jesus and the god of the bible whom they believe in.

  But it does seem rather pointless for atheists to spend time condemning a non-existent god for appearing to condone the behaviour of humans.

  To me, the unchecked barbarity of humans over tens of thousands of years, is proof that such a god, as described in the bible, does not exist.

  jgnat Just a quick note of correction. The rituals and traditions followed within the walls of a church are not legally binding .

  Very true. I was onlt 13 when I was dunked; too young to make a legally binding decision.

  dear friends:.

  forty-five years ago i was out in service with an elder, and we came upon a house where the owners kindly received us.

  this was not so unusual as the family was jehovah's witnesses.
