Among the pioneers living in the KH apartments was one that felt like expressing himself during the lunch break in free - style composing performances on the piano. He pounded out notes, cords that surpassed Wagner, Hindemith in dissonance and power. Why did the "god of order" not intervene? and how about the food prepared in Yankee stadium annexes, The truck-repair shop to keep the delivery vehicles running? the marriages performed on the meager lawns outside the stadium?

I remember a circuit assembly where they had the local comparison chart rigged to show the results of all the congregations, to shame the laggards, I guess. I remember well 1958 the out of the blue announcement & demonstration at Yankee stadium / Polo grounds of sisters doing mike-amplified conversations from the platform, and the questionable dearth of bible text to justify the change , while we gave 4-8 bible text sermons at the doors. and Then there was the appointed company/ congregation servant, the man that would not budge, move, become sick or die to give new blood a chance at the helm. There must have been swinger congregations like Lois Lane lfS describes, but I remember only the close to the line petting and necking in the cars. One Bethel brother who "blew it", had his doors rigged, so the sisters could not open them from the inside. -

Generation expiry date?
by pleaseresearch inhow long will it take for a jw to see that even the overlapping generation is wrong?.
the org waited and waited to see if their interpretation of it came true.
those alive in 1914 would still be alive obviously it didn't and jws have to believe in an overlapping generation.

OEJ: "-- newly anointed at that time could live to be 100 putting you in 2072) and that would not include Arm-a-geddon itself, (because the anointed are raptured before then, they are needed to do the fighting, frightening from heaven), so let us make it 2075 for old time's sake. -

Dunedain: "--"does God ONLY exist because WE created God thru our own ability to contemplate a God".
Do you not in that statement put too much importance in our egos? after all, the ALL, the universe functions just fine without our input, and do you think the universe of all things, created itself, with it's laws, energy?
Particular gods might be human ideas, but the works in the universe are not.

F&c: "--we must think about our own deaths and thus we created the concept of God and god forbid "purpose". The facts are no one knows. I am probably closer to death than most here, yet my points are strictly on the existence beyond the now expanding through time universe. The laws made our existence possible, and that is enough for me and my offspring. My insistence of feeding us caused some suffering to animals, Luck in publicity made a better invention falter, The works of creation are great enough, we need no special personal favours , which often would be granted at the expense of others, so, let's appreciate the works.

T witch: "Also, nothing exists outside the universe, by definition. the definition is most likely true, but perhaps we are not talking about [no]things. I thought along the lines, and expanding on Dr. Roger Penrose's theories of information coming from outside our present universe. Our present understanding of the cosmos might be limited like CNN or Fox news, the rest of the planet does not seem to exist from their point of view. -

WtRs: "It gets us nowhere. I am glad you are right, because overall we should be happy we can stay here.
I think cosmologists accept the fact that inside a black hole, or, at the speed of light, or in the pre-big bang & outside the universe conditions*, where there is no movement through time, our physical laws do not prevail. So what I see in the proposed model is the possibility that a creator could function without having a prior cause, or further intervening in the unfolding of creation. a deist's view without the Theos/ deism.
* I assume that outside the universe conditions now are still as they were before our beginning, one indicator to support this is, that the expanding universe seems to absorb new, additional energy to fuel the accelerated expansion, that can not result from the inertia from the initial impetus.

eden 1: In that model, since the creator existed in the distant past, and has not expired, and already is in the distant future, and distance and time are equivalent, (example light/ears, , add cubit to life-length), he would stretch in size too into eternity, that is why the heavens of the heavens could not contain him. that is why he would not have to move to be in the future, given his size, he is already there.
last thought: Could we accept then, that the creator is female, since in that model, the universe and ourselves are growing inside him?
