while reading the magazines the other day it occurred to me that jws never really had a very good answer to that question.
because it was aimed at young people and it said something along the lines, "if you believe in god you have a purpose, but if you don't believe in god your life has no purpose or meaning".
i think that is a faulty analysis of the situation.
looter: "science is more important and valuable than the Lord
with due respect, the Lord is supposed to be the original scientist, with him all things were made, impossible without science. so why is it that he could not recall correctly the science behind all he did and said, why did he contradict the very science he used make it all?
Bsw: did you get that your name spelled backward is "re-tool", which means to really change the programs you are working with?
china has just switched on its 500 metre diameter radio telescope, nearly twice as large as the previous largest.
among other things it is tasked to do, it will eventually be programmed to look for and analyse radio waves that may have a non-natural origin.. so will the scientists manning this facility eventually hear yhwh and jesus having a chat?.

This is actually not that stupid a question, if you leave out the deities. All events, entities and of course "speech"are perceived by us in the form various frequencies in either different lights, or sound , be it particles or waves.so:
this better ear will help us to listen more closely what "celestial acoustics" that happened in the past ( we never see, hear anything coming from the future)

Looter you got it backward, reverse read your name: so? re-tool, think about science taking us not to, but away from hell, which after all is a religious invention to scare the gullible, and collect their money.

Great science project, money well spend; huge as it is, sharper images are picked up in chile with portable units spread over a large area, and even on different continents. but listening is better than sending, we might regret being discovered by Yaweh - like entities that are already on record to have wiped out whole civilisations. ya-weh ? oh weh! gewalt!

DJS: "-I'm joking. He seems a nice man.
I never listened, but he looks in picture way to stern, cold-eyed I would not like to have been one of his altar boys or his son/ daughter. If he had any children, at least he would have fulfilled one of the purposes of life.
i think that's a fair comment.
but i am not convinced by the " god" outside the w.t so far, and i think that's also a fair comment.
if god exists why does he seem a complete liability to convincing the majority of decent people i know to associate with his one true religios organisation?
We were fooled by the assumption, used by WT promises and premises of having special status, exemption from the law of nature, protection from "god" for us, our family, our religion to the detriment others, our friendly competitors. Creation, existence is a gift, as it is, use it well.

Lesson from the Tsunami on the purpose of life: If your life is a gift from a creator, one way or another, you have to pass it on or it is lost. you are responsible, so priorities the protection of it's fertile bearers. Natural laws will not be violated, never have been, and have served us well as a species to get here. Beyond that, as a human, be thankful, enjoy the extra perks, the luxuries that our times allow. stop whining. stop demanding more than you see that is already given. an ironclad promise that the laws are reliable, can work for and with you.

Cofty: The tsunami was not a result of tectonics
Why did I bring it up? because of your statement above, contradicting your good points in the link from the past. WT bsw. claims that jesus has full control over nature's forces, waves. and he , according to last week's study, is now established in his kingdom (1914). so, the tsunami is true, the power of the kingdom is not, and those that make it their purpose in life are in for the disappointment of their life. Jesus could calm the waters of a little lake, but not the Indian Ocean.
Your description reminds me of the dual nature of light, it starts out as waves when travelling, but becomes hard hitting particles when impacting.

cofty: "The tsunami was not a result of tectonics but of plates getting stuck at the subduction zone. Something that would have been trivially easy for the god of Jesus to prevent.
hate to tell you this cofty, but the Indonesian and the Japan tsunamis were the result of plate tectonics, plates getting stuck between jerking movements, or spreadings which are the source of deep ocean vents, that are pegged as a possible source of the abiogenesis conditions.
But why are we talking about a creative (and sometime destructive) process, when for humans the meaning of life has more to do with the beauty, the family, the intense feelings, the music, the glory of it all?

wizzstick: "But it does not bear the fingerprints of a God
but you see, to me it does, I imagine, what if I had to make any of it, or all of it, myself by hand, and life for us humans today can be glorious, like the cathedral, the universe we live in, and yes the images of the majestic waves rolling in., wishing and working so nobody would get hurt.
