@why not " i see and feel the divine power" ..seeing and feeling are the senses we derive directly from our brain,if you are convinced this is divine are you saying some supernatural force is influencing your brain personally? ...if so what evidence is there? or is it a faith based assumption?

Proof of God
by MrDantastic ini'm an atheist as i do not see any evidence for the existance of a god.
i encourage critical thinking in everyone and am ready to debate anyone on whether or not there is a god and what that god might be like.

@wake me up.....sounds like someone elses reasoning ( based on idea) is of profound interest to you, theories are all very well, but anything with a 'biological ' basis should require evidence before i buy it. Best wishes.

Things happened before reasoning existed (in human terms) reason is the calculated and accumulated knowledge of our evolutionary process. I cannot speak of any form of reasoning (if any) outwith the scope of my brains limitations.

Why Do People Oppose Jehovah's Witnesses?
by BlackSpirit injesus christ, the son of the most high god, jehovah has this to say: "if the world hates you, you know that it has hated me before it hated you.
if you were part of the world, the world would be fond of what is its own.
now because you are no part of the world, but i have chosen you out of the world, for this reason the world hates you.

Hi blackspirit...your question uses the word 'oppose' then your post immediately references ' hate' do you see a distinction? Opposition to a religious groups doctrines or practices does not always constitute hate. If you seriously want an answer to why most of us here have issues with and have subsequently left the jehovahs witnesses stick around and be honest enough to discuss, this is the purpose of this forum.

Kingdom Hall "sale" - new light!
by The Fall Guy inin a town called stevenston on the west coast of scotland, the kingdom hall was closed down approximately 6 months ago and the congregation (named kilbirnie) was assigned to use the kingdom hall of the nearby irvine congregation.. according to an ldc source at mill hill, the kilbirnie kh is scheduled for a refurbishment!
the org boots out the congregation and leaves their kh redundant for 6 months?????????
good planning, ldc.

@cofty... Re..George and Georgie Russel Georgie is in Ireland answering the call for pioneers to serve where the need is great, interestingly whilst telling me this she mentioned that the last time she was there she went with the orange order but is now glad she is now going as ' normal ' I had to laugh. She was also surprised to learn that jesus was not her mediator but thanked me for clarifying the matter for her( who needs the 'slave' when an apostate can provide due meat eh!) anyway she's a lovely wee person and knows my family.

Active witnesses? Please help?
by Ahava inhi,i'm lost and a little sad.
i actually like the jw faith.
some might call this faith cold, strict, dogmatic but they're just trying to follow rules and give back to god.

Proving that the gb is led by god is i think the deciding factor for you. Firstly the gb do not want you to prove it ( that takes personal study / investigation ) the gb want you to accept it unconditionally or your rejected. As for following rules..who's rules ? Its the rules as laid down by the interpretation of the so called spirit led.,but not inspired gb?...once again think anything to the contrary and you will be rejected even although they can alter or completely change doctrine to suit themselves ( eg..generation teaching, faithfull slave etc)
Science does not 'gloss over' consciousness or how life came about but endeavours to find answers without the fall back religious version of god done it after all if you accept that answer you're left with the problem of gods existence with no fall back position of god done it (unless you think there were other gods who brought the current god into existence and that's a never ending circle).

My impressions of the cart witnessing
by Sour Grapes ini have watched tons of youtube videos of our exjdub friends approaching and talking to the jdub manikins at their carts as they give a great witness to the world by sipping their hot lattes, updating their social media, chit chatting to each other, and the most important thing of getting their time in, counting their hours.. when the jw's see someone approach with a camera they do several things, they will turn their backs on the person, or look at the person with a frown and act like the person isn't even there.
the witlesses refuse to answer simple, clear, and precise questions.
when i was an elder i loved to get into discussions and debates with trinitarians, priest, clergymen and those who were born again.

While at the carts are they actually engaged in the preaching work ? This passive stand offish behaviour which i have seen countless times, seems to contradict the advice given in the study wt 16 may page 9 par'3 which highlights matt 28: 19-20 and asks the question ' were jesus'disciplines to be passive waiting for people to come to them ? ..definitely not! The jws at the carts are even going against their own directive !

Diane Abbott XD
by LoveUniHateExams indiane abbott has often given me moments of amusement throughout the years.. whenever i'm feeling depressed, 30 mins of watching her varied gaffes on youtube usually cheers me up.. the following is a clip from this week (feb 2008) in which she seems to wonder out loud whether mao did more good than harm.
it's great to hear michael portillo's initial reaction ("whaaat!
") and then watch him and andrew neil belly-laugh at diane abbott's comments at the end of the clip.. perhaps she'd been at the blue nun xd.
