  Am I the only one who can see the same face in three of those blue bubbles ? Am I unique?

  smiddy, yes you are. one reason the multiverse idea is so appealing to some is, because it is a way to allow for life supposedly to have appeared by chance alone. so these faces you see are an illusion, each bubble is unique like you.

  The multiverse hypothesis, just kicks the ball down the road, because did it make itself?and:

  The laws in our own universe worked perfectly enough to have us appear. uniquely.

  Noah a Preacher of Righteousness?

  by Spoletta in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  during the watchtower study today, i browsed genesis and looked for evidence of noah ever preaching to anyone.

  from what i could glean from the scriptures, it was a foregone conclusion that noah's family would be it on the ark.

  (unless they towed some rafts behind) my wife says that building the ark could be considered a witness of his faith to the wicked world, but that seems kind of lame to me.. so, should i just assume that god decided not to give anyone else a chance for redemption?

  wt always made a difference between preaching (warning) and disciple-making work, aka bible study. Noah was not trying to make disciples. at best perhaps trying to recruit people to help him, that, with a false hope of salvation through works. That what wt does. free labor for the non-existing hope of salvation.

  Noah and Jesus were wood workers, If you have ever worked manually with wood, even when not using dull bronze age handtools, all day long, day in and day out, you will do little else. (Jesus quit it to do the preaching)

  The preaching is more believable than the joinery to lift elephants above everest.

  donations in France seems to be very little...

  sp74bb: They have to watch their wallets, France is the country with the longest overlapping generation. 122 years just for juste one group, voire Jeanne Calment 122 plus years. ca est calment.

  Class Action Lawsuit Against The Watchtower Corporation By The Multitude Left Penniless After A Vow Of Poverty And Obediance Lasting Decades

  by Brokeback Watchtower in

  well i think as the exposure becomes greater of the wt hypocrisy and cover up that the likelihood of this happening great.

  no retirement funds for all those laid off when they were no longer profitable due to old age has got to bite these guys in the ass some day.. and maybe in the process of man's enlighten world view and a better understanding the cruelty of disfellowshipping member and enforcing a communication ban ones family members may open them up from another class action lawsuit over such egregious action caused by a religious printing organization domination over peoples action through deceit and clever lies about supernatural claims of authority.. either way i think they are going to need a lot of outside legal help in the future as lawsuits will pile up around the world which that alone could dry up all their funds in defense costs..

  fat chance for: "your rewards will be in the heavens" it was always understood that the resurrection hope, assured through maximised wt slavery, would be the reward. and "your father will provide all these things" Math. 6:33. If the wt god does not follow through, is that wt's fault?

  did not wt, riding the 75 wave, initiated a "6 month limit of study to baptism" program to finish the work by 75? No cautionary letters were read in the mainstream North American field imho. but then,

  the Czechs were always smart, still are,- smarter than merkel.

  in NY the shadows are getting shorter,

  Theists, why does God allow suffering..

  by The Quiet One in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  ..specifically, the suffering of animals.

  you can talk about free will/sin/people choosing to not listen to god etc to explain human suffering being allowed.. but how can you love a god that allows animals, that haven't sinned or chosen to not have anything to do with god, to have their short lives ended in often long, drawn out, painful ways.

  i could list stories i've read that would probably make you feel ill, but i'm not looking to shock anyone or start an emotional debate.

  suffering= pain is a defense mechanism. you cause suffering by eating, clothing, shelter. justice allows that you endure suffering. is it not a fair bargain? it allows us to experience a great life for a while!

  happy renewal of the solar cycle day every one. justice too, tasmania gets to have a summer. cortina d'ampezzo some snow.
