  by Tenacious in

  i know this question has popped up from time to time but i really would like to know how you guys, those that no longer believe, came to that conclusion?

  was it the wts and all its crap?

  was it something you read?

  With all the advances in science, still no 'fact' answer on where we came from and how we and all life on Earth came to be, just theories.

  You're free to stop using anything that is a result of science if you truly think it has so little value. Before you do, however, understand that a theory in science is supported by evidence, experiment, observation and has been shown to have predictive powers.

  All you've shown is that you fundamentally have no knowledge of the very thing you use to tell us how lacking it is.

  Mobile Hotspot - JWFACTS.COM - Assembly & Conventions

  here is an idea i tested.

  works at both assemblies and conventions.

  i have noticed at the last convention and at my last assembly that when i opened up my wifi setting, tons of hotspots came up for people tethering their tablets to their smart phones.

  I can turn it on and off remotely as well (ssh into it from command prompt on my phone).

  Have you looked into Hacker's Keyboard for Android?

  Evidentialism is an epistemological position

  How does that help us?

  If my accountant told me that knowing 2+ 2 =4 is a fact that can be proven, then I am employing the wrong tax advisor.

  So you *don't* want your accountant knowing how math works?

  All knowledge and facts are beliefs, the rub lies in the justification.

  Knowing that 2+2 = 4 or the the speed of light in a vacuum are objective, observable facts that can be proven.

  Believing in an invisible sky person that loves foreskins, grilling out is not.

  Are you attempting to place those things on equal footing?

  An odd postition for someone who enjoys evidence so much, but hey, philosophy isn't everyone's bag.

  I'm very interested in useful philosophy. Do you have any of that?

  Why do people kill each other?

  why do there have to be wars?

  why is there so much hatred?.

  the collective answer i came up with is natalisam, or maybe the correct word should be politics?

  One day we'll graduate from homo sapien to homo sapien sapien.

  Too late... we already did that :)

  Because no one can give me even the smallest reason to do so.

  today during the public talk the speaker said that satan was behind the new modern phones, which are like mini computers, so that the world would have easy access to pornography..

  Good point Viv but I was thinking in terms of the camera not being in use until the 1700's but I suppose naughty drawings could have been printed before that

  A printing press isn't a camera or a camera obscura (two different things).

  i had a discussion with an elder recently.

  it was interesting in a macabre sense.

  we were outside the kingdom hall on a nice sunny day recently.

  Paul was exactly as much a Christian as anyone else in his era.
