  What's the point?

  by punkofnice in

  i mean, i don't want to be miserable or anything, but what's the bloody point of it all?.

  since i left the watchtower cult, i have come to realise that god cannot possibly exist...and if a god exists...god is indifferent to humankind as the least.. in 100 years time i'll be gone.

  kaput.

  To create, to achieve. To leave our mark in the world before we quickly leave as we will. To do good to others, as has been said, perhaps even helping them avoid the pitfalls we may have had experience of. To enjoy the good things in life, like food, sex, beer, and friendship, to name but a few. To laugh at the misfortunes of others. To find what our talents are and to work on them, to best ourselves. To have fun, to enjoy great literature, poetry, language, irony. Have I already said laugh at the misfortunes of others?

  Are JW Celebrities Getting paid to say they are JW?

  by Luther bertrand in

  i have always wondered why prince and michael jackson stayed in good standing for some of the stuff they released as jws?

  or how the williams sisters could stay in sports without all the bs?

  after all the revelations about the org that i have heard... i wonder if they are paid and the reason they get away with it is that they are pr strategies and really they could give a crap about the org?

  They do have to exemplify JW lifestyle to promote.

  
  Well, their latest music video seems to be promoting something completely contradictory to what they preached decades ago about staying single and giving god your best and serving where the need is great and all that.
  
  It seems to be more a case of 'if you're rich you can do what you want' rather than a clever PR ploy of using celebrities to attract people to the religion. Scientology has beaten them to it.

  All Hail Our Robot Overlords

  absolutely amazing how fast this technology is advancing.

  at the darpa challenge last year the robots could hardly walk up right and it took them ten minutes to walk through an open door frame.

  now they're running around outside and opening doors like a pack of velociraptors!

  It's not hard to picture some of those DARPA robots wielding a gun being sent in to clear a building.

  
  Exactly, and there had been news reports saying the US Army had planned to use some of those robots to carry loads.
  
  Also, if drones can be used to bomb terrorists....

  Hello Everybody

  i didn't see an introduction forum anywhere but i thought it would be weird to start posting without first introducing myself so, here we are.

  i'm 15, and i've been looking for a place to discuss my thoughts on the religion that i'm pretty much stuck in at the moment.

  my mom and dad divorced over their different beliefs over a year ago (my mom is jw and my dad is an very knowledgeable apostate, so you can see how they would fight over it), and since then i've stopped believing altogether.. just thought i'd say hello.

  What do you think is the source of your consciousness? Can it be copied or transferred?

  by EndofMysteries in

  2. beliefs

  this seems to be a question that even scientifically is still in the air.

  right now your consciousness, is it the physical part of the brain?

  the electrical signals in the brain?

  Evolution is a Fact #20 - Lucy in the Sky ....

  when donald johanson and his colleagues returned to the afar region of ethiopia in 1974 they were full of optimism.

  it was their second season searching for human fossils around hadar.

  the previous november johanson had found a fossilised knee joint that was dated to more than 3 million years ago.

  Cofty, when are you going to start your series of posts on the sphericity of the Earth?
  
  It'll take a lot of proof to persuade me it isn't flat.

  What's a word that describes the way Witnesses behave as a group?

  by paul from cleveland in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i can't recall the word that describes a group that keeps to itself like the witnesses do.

  i thought it was "insular" but i don't think that's the one i'm looking for after reading the definition.

  i remember an elder using the word "clannish" and that has the proper definition but it reminds me of a group of elves.
