  Chook…

  Violence is just a part of life. A part of life as, love, hate, emotions, feelings, sex, eating, and sleeping. You can see violence in almost every creature. Creatures like viruses living on cells, snakes eating mouse, insects sucking blood they need to lay their eggs in. Mammals hunting other mammals. When it comes to humans, violence is not only a food and digestions matter. It is a part of dominating other humans specially the females. Even among monkeys, apes and some other mammals, it is important, for especially male to foresee, that his DNA passes on to new generations. They could kill any other male that challenge their status, and this has been done in the whole world ever since life begun millions of years ago. In fact some hormones (testosterone, adrenaline, nor-adrenaline) in your and my body trigger violence from us just to protect ourselves from being the victim of other creature’s violent behavior. So violence is a selves going clock (a perpetum mobile).

  I my selves has a small sheep farm, and I know that when a wolf pack comes along, they will start having fun whit my sheep’s. That is to kill as many of them they can without eating anything. This till they notice that I have entered the field with a shotgun. Then they disappear quickly to my neighbors sheep fields……

  I myself don’t eat sheep meat. But I can do with a small piece of salmon….

  About the translation ability…You must understand that they have the wholly spirit that helps them…

  Just the same as Josef Smith LDS, had the angel Morony and Urim and Tummim, helping him to translate the gold plates at Commora Hill. Unfortunately The Gold Plates disappeared when asked for. If fact according to some very skilled scholars (Bart Ehrman, Chappel Hill Univers-) Even the original manuscripts of the very Bible does not exist….we only have copies of copies of copies of…

  And they are all contradicting themselves

  Hello everyone!

  I am sure that you have looked up on youtube professor Bart Ehrman…If not try to see some of his lectures. It has been for me, the release of knowledge to understand the old scriptures…

  The worst idea in the world

  by Bugbear in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  now i´ve been thinking …(a very rare occupation for my brain) and the question is :.

  what could be the very worst/dangerous/harmful thought in our head?.

  could it be that we are more beautiful / stronger / smarter / faster than the rest of our human brothers or sisters?.

  Agree with you. But religious people do believe that they "have the knowledge to separate good from evil" God tells them....

  Yes, I think that narcissim, sociopathy, and other mental dissorders, are empowered by the by the Idea that God is with me.

  Could it be that we are more beautiful / stronger / smarter / faster than the rest of our human brothers or sisters?

  Or, could it be that we believe that we have a direct contact with God. That God tell us what is right or wrong. That we have understood the will of God and are able to interpret the will of God from an ancient scripture:

  If so, we also feel the need of informing the rest of humanity what God want them to do. And since we have the right from God, we can also punish those who doesn´t agree.

  I think the very Idea (in our head) that we are with God (In God we trust), is the very base for most of all the killing, bullying, raping, terrorism, war, nonsense believes (ghosts-spirits-demons, immortal souls), a.s.f.

  This Idea (God tells me), is the reason for us humans living in this chaos.

  What do you think?

  Signatures on posts

  by Simon in

  1. forum
  2. announcements

  can i please ask people not to repeated signatures on their posts.. i have pm'd a few people directly with the request as i've noticed them but i guess the inevitable "explain why / show it's fair" means i need to make it publicly to all .... everyone's name and avatar is already displayed next to each post made so anything added at the bottom is really superfluous and just reduces readability on smaller devices where screen-real-estate is already at a premium.

  if the layout is redesigned for mobile devices with the poster name at the bottom then it looks kind-of stupid (e.g.

  "said simon - simon ...").

  In northern Europé the WTBS proudly announced 20-30 years ago, that they never accepted any “worldly” contribution for their activities. That included governmental subsidy. Today they have applied for subsidies from the state for youth and educational matters….They have all the time been refused.
