when i first learn ttatt i started telling every one.
ttatt will not help him, it will destroy him.
all his family are jws.
I agree with Kant in his essay What is Enlightenment? - all men [and women; it's the 21st C. now] deserve enlightenment. The lack thereof, can be a type of enslavement, especially in religion (as Kant points out). Not all people will choose to learn, though. Who am I to say which person 'deserves' to hear TTATT?
As I have the ability to read neither hearts nor minds, I also have no ability to determine who would 'benefit' from knowing of TTATT. That is for each person to choose.
so now that most of us have come to a semi truthful understanding that the witnesses are wrong about evolutionist, there is a certain question that i have always had.
now if you were to ask any jw, they'd recite a complete fallacy from scientist regarding this.
but what is you guys input of this.
Science has proven to be very forthright about correcting mistakes in this field. It's quite easy to get a grasp of the fundamentals of carbon dating. Also, you may find that reading about the different strata of rocks, and how scientists arrive at the age of mountain ranges and such, is indeed. interesting, and just makes lot of sense to the average person whose willing to take a bit of time and study up on the subject.
As a general comment, I get the point about 'pure' science. I instantly thought of this;`
Tesla = profound curiosity, genius and the passion to *discover* and *share* ('pure' science)
Edison = brilliant, perhaps, but corrupted by self-interest ('not-so-pure' science)
..............
Sheesh, where would we be without people who questioned the current norm? And as for Mathematics being 'cut and dried' and 'easily taught' ........ ahaha, you have just betrayed a profound ignorance of the ART of higher mathematics.

Interesting .......... :D
something struck me last week.
i have been dealing with what i can only describe as a fear of death.
i'm not old and not in bad health.
DOC ------ LOL! Obviously, you didn't do it like a cat ........ S-L-O-W-L-Y ..... feeling out each muscle ... testing before you stretch, and the final ........ ahhhhhhhhhhhh, front paws OUT, and tail EXTENDED, back stretch!
Sorry you're not feeling the bestest, my friend! xoxo :)
this question came out frequently from a situation known to some of us who knew of 2 cases.... if a single or married sister gets rapped by stranger or incest, a pregnancy results, she is not allowed to have an abortion but neither is she allowed to give it up for adoption?...i always question why not up for adoption?...
no you will be blood guilty because the child won't be raised in the "truth"... hmmmmm does anyone heard of that?
is it a matter of consciousness?
Lest we forget
The raped woman is often disfellowshipped, because she cannot prove the rape.
I can see from Olivia Wilde's comment above, that the BOE plays a big part in INSTRUCTING (sorry, this makes my blood pressure BOIL) the victim in whether she has the right to choose adoption (of course, abortion would NEVER be considered, we must protect the UNBORN, and to hell with the living kids who are neglected, starving and abused - but I digress!). These MEN (and their WOMEN!) who think it is their **GOD** given right to make such decisions.
ACK! I've been out of their influence for far too long to even see this as the least bit reasonable.
*pukes*
EDIT: Well, I think I've used up my 5 comments for the day, but I want to say that the VICTIMIZATION of women and children MUST STOP.
lol, "Don't hold back, talesin" ......... "Okay, I won't!" <3
Love and light to you all!

I haven't read the whole thread, as I'm sure there is a lot of master baiting in the 18 pages, but hmmm ... the name Richie is just too familiar, and this thread bears the mark of a, perhaps, experienced troll. Hey, Richie, ca va? If it's you, we never clashed. Hope you are well, but don't you think it's a bit messed up? xx

Hi, Richard! Well. I just had to join the conversation when I saw you posting this *gem* of the Truth TM. : ))
2. What did Jesus say about false Christians?
“They publicly declare that they know God, but they disown him by their works.”—TITUS 1:16.
Jesus warned that false prophets would corrupt Christianity. Outwardly, they seem like true worshippers. Their churches claim to be Christian. But you can recognize such people for what they really are. How? Only true worship produces genuine Christians with recognizable qualities and ways.—ReadMatthew 7:13-23.
Of course, Jehovah's people TM declare that they are the chosen ones.
How do we recognize these Christian followers of Jehovah?
Is it the elders who weave on the platform, too drunk to keep their equilibrium? Or the Special Pioneer, who 'fudges' her/his time sheet? Maybe, it is the Judicial Committee member who can't sleep at night, because he punished a child rape victim, and let his/her rapist go free, after which the victim committed suicide.
Or perhaps it is the father who turns away his 'prodigal son', because son hasn't gone through the proscribed punishments (re-instatement procedures) that the local BOE has set forth.
Yes, true *Christians* show their colours. By their deeds you will know them BY THEIR DEEDS.
earlier this morning, i posted off to the the institute of engineers an application for membership as an "engineering associate":.
- today being just over 40 years since the congregation's retards elders made me abandon my apprenticeship.. (in this part of the world, the pre-1975 hype was taken to that level.
not being content to prevent young persons attending university, they went one step further and treated with hostility any youngster who would "tie up five years of their lives" by entering into an apprenticeship.
That calculus is a b***ch! (haha)

But it's all worth it now, congrats. xx

To the OP,
This reality can lead to daily happiness. Death is inevitable, and not to be feared. The thing is, to enjoy the moments that life offers, be kind, to yourSELF and others. Begin each day with a great stretch like a cat, and realize that every moment is unique, and some are special in that you will treasure them forever.
Death is not to be feared, we can only hope it will be swift and relatively painless. After that, we are dust in the wind...... it matters not.
Just my 2, as we used to say.
xx
