May be the solution could be in case somebody confesses to have them resign as jws, and let him or her go to the police. , but then if they de facto plead guilty, are they not sure to be sentenced at mandatory rates? and since the list that wt is supposed to have, might be based to a large extend on such confessions, and perhaps even unproven allegations, where would that lead, if wt, the courts published it?

The Greatest Story Ever Told (or not)
by Coded Logic inlast year kic 8462852 (tabby’s star) made headlines as a possible - although far fetched - candidate for an alien mega-structure.
while there isn’t yet any evidence of this audacious hypothesis, i thought it would be a good idea to explain why this star is so unique and also give an update on the current science being done to study the star.
aliens or not, it’s a fascinating story.

The dimming over long periods is now questioned, but it dims (at last viewing) ~ every 2 years, and stays dim for one day. so, how would that work out here with our sun ? very roughly mars has a two year year , and a little further out a shield for the sun would travel at 20 km second. A day at that clip would transit the disk of the sun, seen from far away, in less than a day, ~the length of the dimming of KIC 8--. That dimming feature would look, if in our solar system, 1/2 times bigger than the Sun,or (Moon) when seen together. Or it could be 2 features orbiting at Saturn's distance and appear 1/5 the size of the Sun (or Moon). So these occultations every two years are not something so outlandish that it could not be visualised here, If only we can have them light enough, but opaque. From a stellar distance the occulting features would look of equal size of course. so, it is not that alien after all, if the shade could be a disk like Saturn's, it would have to be only 5 km thick.

There is new information, even about the observations online. Occam's razor would suggest a shorter path, via natural laws, rather the billions of years developpement via life, and then with really advanced, powerful civilization technology, massive energy capture. Fundamentalist of course deny "god" did anything within 6000 light years distance, he is resting, so it must be aliens.

If You Refuse to Question, How Can You Be Sure of the Answer?
by xjwsrock in..... let's pose a forbidden question....is the jw faith actually the one true religion?
if you refuse to ask this question with a true open mind and heart, how can it be said you know the answer is yes?
put another way..... if you refuse to ask this question today, how can you really say you know today that the answer is yes?.

xjwsr: how can you really say you know TODAY that the answer is YES?
you could say that, but all our sure knowledge is of the past, past writings like the bible, it can not be true, so can not be any religions based on it. talking snakes anyone?

let us not forget that Pulsar pulses were originally attributed toor called " LGM" (not so "Little Green Men"), the The small patches of heat in the background radiation , "The hand of God". so-- If we find out what is happening: Does it shed light in our standing of the laws of nature? confirm any unexplored ideas, If ir;s artwork: how did they do it? what was better about their science. let's probe properly.

Another trinity thing
by Mozzie ini have gone through the ones on here, i have read so much about it and everyone seems to have a different idea as to what the creed actually came up with in the sense of explaining it, religious leaders from most denominations seem to try to explain it and are all different, it does your head in just trying to read half their stuff.
when i was going door to door, i knew how to argue against it, but now trying to learn about it.. i was reading an article of the net about this and how christ emptied himself of all deity and that, but with all the statements made and arguments to and for it, one question was brought up.
when jesus was asked by his disciples about the time of the end, jesus replied neither i nor the angels know the hour, only the father.

suggestion from sci not fi, how about entanglement from the quantum world, moving separately, but acting united when looked upon?
The secret is not to look or even think about things like that, you might collapse the concept.

Acts one seven "Time" is in the father's jurisdiction, and he is not telling. May be one of the handful of things the bible got right,--not a good record, 1/10 000.

Sun,moon, earth and mathematics .
by atomant injust thought id let you all in on some info i found on northeasttruth.com.
that magical moment where the moon blocks out the sun!
but only just enough to perfectly cover the suns disc, whilst still allowing us to see the corona of light and other electromagnetic forces radiating from it.. this only happens because the moon diameter is exactly 1/400th the size of the suns and is positioned at exactly 1/400th of the distance between earth and the sun!so, when we see it from the surface of earth, we are in the only place this can ever be seen, at the only time it could ever happen.

GG: "LOL...Too true, although it reminds me of a line in a film called 'The Family Way' where a newlywed says to his father that he didn't know he could have so much fun without laughing...
glad you endorse abstinence before the vows, worked for me. Have to tell you my situation on this , related to the Earth, Moon, barycenter rotation thing. I was always fond of slim ladies, the long distance runners, not the shot putters. I am fully in accord with the wt idea of not having married people dance with other mate's material, but if you are a Waltz ball roomer, having a slim partner really krimps your style, so, I asked for special dispensation to be able to ask the most trained shot heavy putter for a waltz. Our mutual center of gravity was barely inside her body, just like the Earth /Moon situation, and it was amazing having the cooling wind in that long orbit around her, faster than the 28-30 day lunation, and Sun sync rotation.
