The bitter reality of death

by Bonsai in

GrrT: "--Once you hit midlife it seems there are more and more losses in your life; people, bodily integrity, unfulfilled and unfulfillable dreams and ambitions.

People who can accept these with grace seem to age well. It helps to realize that each moment you live is the only one you have (at that time). make your life now an important one. If there is more, and not like wt promises, but really more, treat as a remote possibility. count your life now as your crowning achievement. Even your death can be an important event, you making place for the next carrier of life's importance.

GG: "--Why are there no human remains found in these chalk deposits?

Great point: never thought of that! if all humans (-8) were destroyed, materialized angels' bodies even, Nethinim, why are there no remains in any of the claimed "flood sediment" layers, or anywhere, only 5000 years, old? all the same fossil age?

The Society, Race, and an always white Adam.

okay, it's an old question but we haven't examined it here yet so let's have your thoughts.. adam was the progenitor of the whole human race, from his genes sprang the negroid, caucasian, mongoloid, indo-european and every other race on the planet.. the hebrew people were not selected as jehovah's chosen nation until abram had found favour with god so presumably all races were equal in his eyes before then [as indeed they always have been].. so then, what basis is there, if any, for deciding what adam and eve's skin colour may have been?.

could they not indeed have been black?.

this is a pointless discussion i grant you.

prologos

white, the light, is composed of all colours, wavelength. from it you can make a perfect rainbow.

it is the misfortune of the coloured people, to one extent or the other, that the Caucasian race was found in the most benign climate that allowed them to bring forth the technologies, that led to their dominance and the use of them. That they thought perfection would resemble them, their choice of like-looking ancestors, a given. the use of different images in different countries is a propaganda tool, lying, contrary to the conviction they hold.

redvip2000: "--If Jesus lived today, with the power of analysis and critical thinking we have now, he would be quickly dismissed --

If he appeared in a watchtower congregation he would be disfellowshipped within 3 1/2 years for apostasy, brazen conduct.and deluded about the deluge.

or he was an embellishment of a rumor about a minor character, just like the deluge account, as written, was a embellishment about a second hand account in the wet north of palestine.

e 1863: "Remember Jesus also spoke in parables. Couldn't the flood be a parable like the Good Samaritan?--

Those that wrote the "jesus" story, used the "noah" myth to add credence to their efforts, appealing to the perceived authenticity of the described events. whether they knew of the fictional character of the "flood"or not, the effect is that the whole story, inundation and "jesus' " comments about it, could not possibly have happened as described.

JM: "--but if you figure mountains grow 4 millimeters a year over 4-5 thousands years = what?

at current rates, Everest has grown ~20 meters since the flood's date, the opening of the gate. ( that is 0,2 %) To reach it's present heights since the supposed "low everest flood", it must have ascended ~5200 meters instead of 20.

Broke watchtower: "--We must not forget the understanding of those times when understanding those ancient words and their meaning in modern times.

Once you make that argument, it is clear that the bible is not the inspired word of the creator, and ALL it's content***, its premises and promises are null and void, purely human fables. To build the power of the wt leaders, your life and death decisions on that non-foundation is folly indeed. The global flood is a dudd.

*** remember in the "jesus" story, he endorses the Noah account, almost in one breath proclaiming himself the saviour the buyer-back of what was lost, the repairer of the talking snake damage. and he was supposed to be the co-creator, not of the flat earth, but all the laws, orbits, bodies in the universe.
