That's remarkable.
Are these pictures for sale? Does the tombstone for this GB come with the pictures?

Good god she's only five years older than me and there's nothing wrong with me, l havn't seen a doctor this year.
Pardon my intrusion. This seems a discussion of a more private nature.
This comment interests me, as one coming from a person that sees both sides.
Thank you, for sharing this perspective!

Part of Growing Up - Saying Goodbye to Invisible Friends?
by doubtfull1799 ini don’t remember having any invisible friends when i was a really little boy, i don’t know if such a thing actually exists, i’ve only ever seen it in movies?
of course it might have looked to others like i was talking to someone on occasions, but i’m sure it would have just been me talking to myself.
the thing is though, i got introduced to an invisible friend in my pre-teens, and i kept the relationship going well into adulthood.

we don’t take any real responsibility for our life, or or try to improve the world in any meaningful way,
A simpler life is still recommended. Taking responsibility - yes!
one doesn't fully grow up until one says goodbye to their invisible friend!
Any concept of God is a fundamental misunderstanding, if it is rooted in self-centeredness.I should have put this at the top, rather than the bottom: your posts show lucid thought, and easy to read.

Do You Trust The News Media?
by minimus inobviously, trump doesn't.
but do you?
do you think that they are generally fair, unbiased and honest?.

May I recommend, The Listening Post with Richard Gizbert, Al Jazeera. It's a 30-minute, weekly show, for those with time constraints? Richard's manner is a lesson in unbiased analysis.
There is something fundamentally wrong with 24-hour/day news! It's unhealthy, to say the least.

A woman's Heartfelt message to the Governing Body
by UnshackleTheChains ini just watched this lovely lady's heartfelt message to the governing body.
i hope that the men she named and all lurkers who have some clout at bethel listen to this message and stop this cruel and divisive shunning policy that has ruined so many family's around the world.
this is just one voice of many many people who feel this way about your (governing body) destructive policy.

The Governing Body don't deserve to have live audience with her. They could though, feel safe and secure with the barrier of a computer screen in between them and Her. May their sense of safety be VERY TEMPORARY!

This is What I Would Need in Order to Believe
by cofty insometimes theists challenge atheists about what evidence would be required before they would believe.
various unlikely scenarios are offered in reply.
i have taken the bait myself in the past.. i think the correct answer is much more ordinary.

From the OP
There is so much more detail I could add to this
Perhaps working backwards and removing details is a way to find a broader, generalized understanding of "truth" - theistic or atheistic, only remain subjective preferences then! Would any consider this suggestion?

It seems that many witnesses simply dont care about facts?
by stuckinarut2 ini often wonder if the current crop of witnesses, especially the youth and younger ones simply don't care about facts?.
i mean for some, even with knowledge of the past scandals, misleading teachings, mistruths, etc etc, they simply don't care.
"it is the truth after all".. they are so intertwined in the operations and activities of the society, that they cant see anything outside of it.

May I suggest that, unrelated facts can be of entirely opposite nature and yet co-exist. Example: quantum physics and traditional understanding of physics appear mutually contradictory, yet both stand up to examination!

River flowing from the garden of Eden
by joey jojo inhey there.. if this point has been covered before please forgive me.. i have had the principles of noahs flood used by jw's to encourage me to attend meetings recently and this has got me musing about the flood....again.. genesis states that a river flowed from eden and branched out into four rivers, two of which being the tigris and the euphrates.. heres the baffling part; if it had never rained before, how is it that rivers existed before the flood?!!?.
a brief google search tells us that the euphrates begins its journey as snow melt and rain ( as most rivers do) in mountains in turkey.. ecc chapter 1 mentions the water cycle and describes the rivers flowing into the sea but the sea not becoming full.
how did it work pre-flood?

Perhaps hooked to a giant sea creature, now extinct and undiscovered, causing fear in the Greeks of Poseidon.

people’s behavior
"appears" different...but, means the same.
Worth a thought, isn't it?...you be the "judge".
