You should not even exist!

by stuckinarut2 in

a thought struck me...... the very generation (no pun intended) of people who the society is focussing so much attention on, that is the children, should not even be here!

(think caleb and sofia etc).

their parents, who are probably aged between 20 - 40 are the very generation too that should not be here if the societies strict guidance from the 70's and 80's was followed by their parents...ie to not have kids "because the end is soooooo close!".

prologos

It shows the selfishness of all believers in an earthly paradise, for the limited resources precludes unlimited opportunities for future generations, particularly if Billions are to be resurrected too. Conversely one can see the generosity of a possible creator to open life for so many (rather than few) interesting lives during the 9 billion years of possible inhabitable period of this planet.PS

wt teachings not only prevented the birth of new loved ones, but condemns (falsely) billions to an early death too.

On Prayer

so many prayers.. consuming.

the obligation.. when did you realize you were talking to yourself?.

prologos

saw a billboard on a church some time ago: : Prayer is not to bend god's will to yours, but to bend your will to god's. In my mind, read what nature tells you, and adjust your thinking, actions to reality. Prayer over food??? yes! the cook for preparing it, so well, and without the creative event, nothing would be here, food for thought.

Happy Pi Day

by dothemath in

tomorrow is march 14 (3.14), so its known as pi day, to honour the all-important constant.. incidentally, the bible has been criticized by mathematicians because the scriptures give a very poor value of pi.. the scripture is based on 1kings 7: 23 and reads as follows:.

"and he proceeded to make the molten sea ten cubits from its one brim to its other brim, circular all around; and its height was five cubits, and it took a line of thirty cubits to circle all around it".

now that shape is actually mathematically impossible to construct, because if the diameter is 10 cubits, the circumference would have to be 31.4159 cubits.

prologos

quote from ILoveTTATT2 link: "---the circumference could be the inner circumference, telling us about the sea’s capacity. --"This too is an unlikely explanation, for it would again require a way to make the measuring line stick to the inner wall but it is possible, since the bible account even gives the wall thickness, for which to measure, you would need giant calipers, or would have had to measure the mold. . Proof, that the bible writer or "god" as a inspirer/proofreader was not trying to impress us with their math s-kills.

I just found out about this District Overseer in Quebec that got DF'd

he sure was well known, and apparently he left his wife some time ago.

his initials were m.l.. does anyone know about this?.

prologos

I am surprised that a figure like M. Laliberte' or J.G. Trembley had to do anything to live normal lives after their exodus. that nulligies the stories about the green handshakes. There is also family money involved. but, the taller they are, the harder they fall. Thinking of Laurier Saumur too, who worked their guts out, no holds barred for WT Inc.,--sinking into poverty?

objectively speaking, but for the religion, did you have enough in common with your spouse to have met and married as non believers?

Americans have to scuttle their bizarre many payers (executives) defunct healthcare system in favor of free healing for all, perhaps reigning in the rich, free uni for the deserving only, but also introduce a simple sales tax . , imho

The initials stand for Michel Laliberte', he is gone, RIP, not resurrected as one of the anointed, a little ball of fire that was instrumental in building the unique MTL assembly hall. did not know about the disfellowshipping, the sales, but his former wife is still her dignified self at last count.

fisherman, there is even biblical evidence that the 30 cubit refers to the smaller ornament circle , situated below the bigger rim. verse 24 : --10 ornaments per cubit, in the 30 cubits.= 300 cast ornaments. below the (bigger) rim. It was the smaller ornament circle that was measured.

smiddy :what an amazing site. be amazed again: how tall are you? be even more amazed by solving the 16 meter added to 40 million meters longer rope question above. suggestion, start with a 1 meter diameter circle and work your way up to the ~18 000 000 meter of the earth diameter. prediction: by adding 16 meters to the size of the "outside" of all the universe, it will have expanded out by 2,5 meters. figure on pi.
