The Signs of the Declines

by Londo111 in

about the circuit i grew up in:.

last decade, a congregation was dissolved.. last year, about a half a dozen or so congregations meeting in a double-hall got re-orged and it works out to one less congregation.

they received all new territories, bodies of elders, publishers.

emeth,

Hello nice to see you on the board again. How are you doing today?

All this activity and proposed building plans seem very exciting. How do you know about the proposed plans you speak of? They are not on jw.org. Kate xx

god-of-the-gaps. Should we or shouldn't we fiil in the gaps with God?

by KateWild in

science imo does not have all the answers.

when i discover gaps in science, it's easy for me, as a temporary measure to fill in the gaps with god.

i do this until i have learnt something new.. what about you?

Thanks Laika- I didn't expect any comments from a fellow believer. Nice of you to validate my point, although I was really looking for ones to invalidate it. I will see you on my next thread about the bible though

Those who are not receiving the files!

by Atlantis in

if you provided an email address to receive the documents but are not getting them, it is because approximately 5 email addresses are not working and our files are being sent back to us.

the only other way for me to contact you is through private messages here.

i have sent out private messages to those who are not receiving the files who gave us an address.. .. we do not want anyone to think that they are being ignored!

KateWild

I am not recieving the files, because I did not ask for them. What are you sending out? Can I make a request if I am interested?

degree of comfort to help us cope with the things that frightened us.-cantleave

I would agree with that to some extent, the big wide world can be scary, and so are the mean ones in it.

So why would anyone think that in the future, the current gaps in human understanding will be resolved by a supernatural explanation?-cantleave

I suppose personally my answer would be...just because we want them to be.

Very good point for me to ponder on thanks kate xx

Medical finals

jw
friends

pray to the spaghetti monster or the deity of your choice but people, lets have some praising and praying and begging for mercy due to my atheistic ways.... i repent, i beg forgivness and i seek your kind ways oh lordy, i am but a humble man under your mighty heel....... i ask nothing in return.................bbbut some neuroanatomy written on my heart would be great, my meager conscience leaves considerable room for data!.

i did sacrifice that ...somewhat out of date .... tesco chicken to you last week!

i deposited it in your non recyclable altar, no hot ashes indeed!.

KateWild

Well done for today....I am glad you were happy with what you have achieved today. All the best for tomorrow---keep up the good work-Kate xx

Don't be in a hurry to replace your ideology.-jgnat

Thank you for promoting this, but if I was entirely comfortable with my ideology, I would be spending all this time doing something more productive. I am questioning my own beliefs, and I may in time be happy and content not to have any answers. But atm for me I want to take a closer look

snare- I am sorry I ignored your first post. I didn't mean to.

Despite several people explaining many reasons why not, you are simply ignoring them and asking again... "Why not?"

Can you be specific with one example---I probs missed something by mistake, I wasn't ignoring a point on purpose-Kate xx

cantleave - I should believe in the FSM should I. LOL! funny

But you had a point in playing silly monkeys. Correct me if I am wrong...your point is, talking about science won't really help me in my deprogramming. If I like science then I should learn about science. I am asking questions like this because I am suffering conitive dissonance from a distructive cult.

Is that what you are trying to help me grasp?

does nothing but hurt your argument.-CO

I do not have an argument to present. I posed a question in the OP, why not fill in the gaps? Why is it so bad?

I fill in the gaps atm, but I am meditating about why I do this. I don't actually know why. This is the reason for the thread. I want to figure out why I am so intent on filling the gaps in with God. So gain others perspective of why they will not fill in the gaps with God, is a step into understanding more about me as well.

doesn't mean you can fill in the gaps with whatever fairy tale most appeals to you - cofty

Why not?
