most of the individuals here from what i have read have gravitated to believing in evolution for various reasons and no longer have a belief in a creator.. the questions begs though, is there a higher conscious in the universe than mankind's.
i am sure everyone agrees that animals are conscious, but to what extent can they reason?.
here is the link to dr. rupert sheldrake's - is the sun conscious.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sfhsobpja8a.
Can we honesty say the laws of nature have an inherent conscious ?
Humans appear to have a higher level of consciousness over most animals due to are brain size, it even avails us to imagine who or how the world was created to all of which we see and experience.
i have always felt trump will win again.
i just don’t see biden winning.. what’s your prediction?.
Maybe the American public like their Presidents immoral, corrupt and slightly stupid, I guess will find out Nov. 3. ?
I still think Biden (D) will edge out Trump (R) this round.
Unfortunately this election will be more about who the public doesn't want in office rather about proposed policies and thats kind of sad in itself.
it's been six months since the kingdom halls have been closed.
i believe here in ontario, canada that you are now allowed to have up to 50 people congregate together.. that was the average attendance before they did all the merging of the congregations.
they should have went back to the original pre-merger congregations.
Good point Slim .
The JWS is another situation different from those religions because the JWS act more like a high controlling socialized cult.
After awhile though the shutting down of Kingdom Halls and the lack of the association within those Halls could have an effect toward the active membership within congregations over time.
(as of 10 sep 2020) there's a new caleb & sophia cartoon in which the org puts into the minds of children the idea that celebrating a birthday will cause jehovah to not want to be your friend anymore.. https://www.jw.org/en/bible-teachings/children/become-jehovahs-friend/videos/trailer-jehovah-forgives/.
can you imagine being 6 years old and thinking god himself is no longer your friend because you blew out a candle on a birthday cake or wished someone a happy birthday?.
as bad as all this is, the birthday thing is just one of many jw rules that isnt even supported by scripure.
Jehovah will burn these children to death for celebrating a birthday.
These days its a tradition of expressing love and respect toward someone .
You dont want to instigate children to do that would you now ?
Birthday celebrations to what we see today came from the traditions of Christianity and the celebration of Christ's birthday.
The corrupt WTS/JWS theologians never seem to mention that, they just say it originated in pagan practices before Christ was born which may be true.

Could the WTS sell off all kingdom Halls and become a full time Zoom religion complete with back room counseling and Disflellowshipping ?
The WTS/JWorg is very money greedy these days so this could happen in certain areas stay tuned folks
yes those are the undeniable facts regarding this religious organization.. these men took the return of christ as a commercial commodity and sold that to the public through the literature they published.
the doctrines they used (c t russell, j rutherford ) to accomplish this feat wasn't actually their own, they were plagiarized by other turn of the century bible speculators who were selling their own pieces of literature.
the end times, the last days, this generation were all propagated to make the notion that armageddon was coming soon in are life time and this actually started by these charlatans back in the late 1800's.. so there you have it easy to understand and clarified even more as time has progressed.
All judo-Christian religions are basically male chauvinist murder cults
ummm ??? but you have to admit there are those that are more dangerous and harmful to humanity than others .
Most religions are devised to control people for better or worse to further support an established ideological concept.

Being that human ignorance is a indefensible fact, the ancients were right about one thing that everything on this planet did come from outer space.
It may not have come about by a supernatural being which is yet to be discovered but there is no question it did come from outer space and beyond.
It is interesting that many ancient civilizations believed the sun was a god and therefore was worshiped accordingly.

One other thing to take note is the lie perpetrated by these men as being Christ's chosen anointed ones and Faithful Slave.
How can apostate false prophet charlatans be all of that according to scripture ?
Most of that was done so to create their own assuming identity and self empowerment.
Unfortunately it did work to those who didn't read the bible carefully with honest adherence.

Bio organisms such as are selves use consciousness to survive by use of their active brains .
Organic substances dont have a conscious because they are not organisms they are organic matter reacting on a nuclear atomic level.

I don't think Knorr or Franz were con men
Why not ?
For example Franz reiterated the 6000 years of mankind's existence twice approximately 30 years apart , which was first actually used by C. Russell in the early 1900's.
Knorr was just a executive director of a expanding world wide publishing organization called the Watchtower Corporation.
Franz was the creator of the false doctrines and Knorr was just the business propagator of distributing those false doctrines to the public through literature publishing.
They were both inherently and personally involved in their acts of charlatanism.
