mans requirements are limited which can be satisfied with a little and tension-free endeavor..

however man attempts not only to collect but also to grab and amass everything to the excess.

somehow he feels that he can be happy only when he has in abundance whereas others have nothingwhich seems to be the thread that runs throughout the history.

How then did we come to feel that it is wrong…I am talking about within our inner-self???
Is it by chance, just through the evolution process???

I did answer your questions you just were not able to discern them. It is you that did not answer my above two.

Anyway to answer you, NO not just through a book is the basis for stopping oneself from such action (or others actions) it is an inner feeling (conscience) that stops it, a conscience that I believe is there based on being created in the image of Jehovah God. I believe that he is the one that determines what is right and wrong and has the right to do so.

If we are here by chance, just through the evolution process where did that conscience come from???

Imagine for the sake of discussion that there is no god. Why do you think it would still be wrong to abuse a child? Is it only your faith in an invisible deity and an Iron Age book that stops you being a child abuser?

You are making my point…let’s throw the bible out the window so that it is not the basis for refraining from such an action and the cause for feeling that it would be wrong.

See that was easy. You just needed someone to show you the light.

Thanks, I’m clear now…but I was just wondering why we feel sad when we hear about child abuse cases???

I mean, are the feelings of love, sadness, anger, empathy, etc… and all of the MANY more human emotions…are they just part of the evolution process???

If so, then who is to say what is wrong and right??? Who determines that???

How can someone be set on saying that it is wrong to abuse a child, or kill a person, etc???

If the person/s that feel that it is wrong did they just by chance came to that complex form of thinking???

If so, what of those person/s that feel that it is not wrong???

Did they just not advance with the correct complex form of thinking in that area???

How do we know that at the present evolved state of man that everything that many think is wrong (bad and evil) is suppose to be that way???

Who is setting the standards???

How do we know that we are not fighting against the evolution process???

So basically some of mankind are God’s right…even if they did not create themselves and others (other then their own offspring) they can decide what is right and wrong for all???

Wow, who would of thought that today I would go from believing in the existence of one God, Jehovah to the fact that he is not real but instead the evolution process created the God's of mankind.

John, the missing links are right there in the picture, hiding behind the signs.

Oh, OK…my mistake…I see them now. I was wrong…we did evolve then.

evolve - develop gradually, especially from a simple to a more complex form.

Alive, for the most part well said post but the following I would tend to disagree:

Many christians would read the word of God and think, NO - God is not among this people - he wouldnt allow such disturbing misleadings.

Ezekiel 13:1-16

JWS have been deceivingly coerced to be devoted to the Watchtower Corporation under a premise that in doing so they are appeasing God Jehovah or his son Jesus Christ.

Very true!

What missing link?

Should Jehovah`s Witnesses be worshiping Jehovah ? or Jesus.

by smiddy in

jehovah`s christian witnesses , as they like to be known as , used to worship jesus in earlier times ,but now they do not worship jesus .

they worship a god named jehovah , who they admitted in the first edition of " aid to bible understanding " was not the correct pronunciation of the tetragrammaton `s four letter hebrew letters that represented god` name , by the way , a catholic monk of the 13th century came up with jehovah by just adding a couple of vowels.. to those four hebrew letters .which has since been revised to correctly translate the tetragrammaton as yhwh and many scholars put this name more accurately as yahweh or something more similar.. fact 1 .

the tetragrammaton does not appear in the " kingdom interlinear of christian greek scriptures " printed by the wtb&ts , a word for word translation of the greek scriptures.

Smiddy, just wondering if you think a Catholic Monk of the 13th Century came up with the names Jehoshua, Jehoshaphat, and Zechariah???

First, not directed to you.

Second, the least you could have done was answered the questions.

Why have the co-called missing links died off???

Why are there still apes…why haven’t they turned into the missing link???

Shouldn't there currently be so-called missing links in the amounts that there are apes currently and shouldn’t what has died off be the apes and we would be wondering what humans were like prior to the so-called missing link (apes) instead of wondering what humans were after apes???
