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…
at the moment i dont beleive in anything.
im pretty much an open book, but my critical mind is very alert to bullshit.
but anyway i decided to re-read the bible with a non jw filter.. i researched online first which is supposed to be the best translation out there.

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....

The idea that I am God, has occured a few times. But The ones that got that idea are very easily disclosured, they simply cannot perform the miracles that goes along with beeing God!

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

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?
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 ...").
Ive got you
being a recognized religion here in australia i heard they get government funding.....if this is true, i don;t see why as they seem to do okay funding themselves .
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.

Congratulations

hello jwn,.
to introduce myself, i am still in the jws but learned ttatt some months ago.
i now ask this question to get more info on a past teaching.. between 1967 and 1980 was when the 'current understanding' of the wts was that organ transplants were cannibalism, and thus abhorrent.
I do remember a speech in 1974 when a brother tried to explain hearth transplantation and their consequences. In the Bible it is explained that your heart is your inner soul together with the blood.
And when it was obvious that a man could live with another man’s organ and blood, a lot of confusion was rocking the Soc. The speech was utterly so confusing that I saw a lot of attendance’s “smiled”. Nothing was really explained.
At that time many members of the cong. also said that vaccinations where absolutely forbidden. Now that is something I haven´t been able to trace in written. But it really shows that many religious societies, with their antique visions of “life”, do not understand science and reality reasons.
