  I conclude evolution is guided

  your qualifications are way above mine so i'd love to hear more about the specifics of what you have researched and how that supports the existence of a deity.

  k99, i am not really convinced that you're interested in my conclusions.

  cofty: "--- regarding suffering--

  suffering is a fact of life, so must be a valuable part of the successful evolution process. example: effort, like flight for example hurts, so birds find ways to minimize drag, fly in v-formations, Pain might be a way to offer aching members of your species to predators, in preference to your young. In balance by being alive and sharing the glory of life, you must inflict pain on your surroundings you live off, so, don't complain, think of the contribution you make to the development of the great life experience Our guidance in biological development, pain abatement fits right in.

  the word logic should not be part of 'theology' so, it is even below the norm of a theory, whereas the evolution, ongoing development of life seems logical, the process has followed a great path, the starting conditions must have made it possible.

  The Olympic maschine is a lot like the watchtower, some of the athletes work their guts out, but it is the big shots the ORG, that reaps the benefits. case in point Jesse Owens, 1936.

  Why THAT talk? Why NOW?

  by dubstepped in

  2. experiences

  in another thread there's a discussion about how the show must go on and meetings weren't even slowed down by the deaths or medical emergencies of ones in the audience.

  for instance, one young brother's unbelieving father was murdered locally.

  not long afterward he's assigned a part on an assembly about the resurrection or something.

  A wicked and twisted generation,...teaching and more

  by Lostandfound in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i started to see daylight, not new light in '95 after years of fred franz inspired but not inspired by any superior being, fantasy writing, revelation book was a classic, must be entirely replaced now as none of it's grand climax occurred.. no idea who are writers today, but they seem to stumble on trivial "new light" as they meet almost daily.. has any official disavowing of fred's wild dreams been done, or do they slip new light out like antidepressants, no mention of any wrong previous teaching, but infer that flock benefitted from jehovah misleading them, and giving clear evidence that the governing body is no more spirit inspired than fred franz's lunatic delusions?.

  the religion today bears no resemblance to that which i joined in early 60s, then severe counsel for printing out to read scriptures as such became available, view of social media as almost 'the unclean thing' gone and embracing it as if it only way.

  my parents and in law parent are all dead, but would never have wasted all their lives serving today's religion.. money needs at every opportunity rammed down throat of the already giving, to make up for lost literature receipts.. turning assembly food service and literature costs to donations portrayed as a charitable work, when in reality they just dodging sales or vat tax.. congregation assets deeded to wt, how low can they go?.

  feelings of grandeur by the fuehrer probably came from the feedback he perceived to originate with his devoted followers. Hopefully as the truth about the wt teachings, past, present and future sinks in, that feedback from the wt followers will wilt, and they will have no illusion of grandeur, They surely must feel that the mighty hand of the majesty of the universe is not at work with them?

  zeb: "With a hundred things that can be said in these revelations you can only wonder what was done to set them on the paedophile path.?

  May be it was the wt illustration with Jesus having kids on his lap and the admonition, biblically, "not to hinder" the interaction with unattached males?

  Google "Pascal's wager" for the answer. self interest at work here, but, stay clear of arrangements where your time, energy and Money are involved in the bet. Be grateful for his past action., but even that is a personal option, he does not need it, and nature teaches, it works just fine without it. give and take. dont complain about suffering, think about the suffering that your living imposes on other life, the planet.

  This generation will by no means pass away

  good morning i hope everyone is having a wonderful day.

  there has been a lot of talk about the "new light" concerning the generation teaching.

  it's been a major part of the prophecy concerning the last days and of course since jws are the only ones able to decipher and understand prophecy it is of great importance to get this main prophecy right.

  TWoY, thank you for posting that text. quoting par. 8: "--all these things [including the end of this system] occur.

  wt, by switching from the above understanding to the anointed 2 group-generation, the idea in that new light, that teaches the partakers to be called to heaven prior to Armageddon, --makes it impossible for Jesus' words to possibly apply to the wt prophecies. Hey, all generations will pass away

  PS: this quote above is from the "paradise" book, and of course you have to go through Armageddon to get to Paradise. the newly fangled 2 group anointed partaker generation will be gone before Armageddon, are not the generation that will not pass away.
