Is This Economic System Harsh And Unfair?

[goodlife]

Young people search in vain for employment. Many risk their lives to move to more prosperous lands..

Ah !....at last !...someone who can speak English !

What does a JW use for birth control?

His or Her replicated personality.

What's the difference between a JW spouting and replicating and an accountant? The accountant knows he or she is boring.

[DTCwordfan]

Let me ask goodlife a simple question......you don't believe in the Bible as it was written by man - or a woman. Well then, who wrote all your JW texts - or was it your advertising agency??

[DTCwordfan]

and ad agency folk aren't human to begin with....

”Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? “ Matthew 6:26

Hmmmm…… Anyone willing to put it to the test?

[goodlife]

Yes millions do.

[goodlife]

Some were deeply concerned and promised to introduce my wife and me to people who could show us that we were being brainwashed. But our convictions were based on thorough research and logical reasoning—the very opposite of brainwashing

[goodlife]

So It must you, you poor lot.

[Patsy33]

Most of you are good, decent people but sadly you are brainwashed by JW Organisation. They put the fear of God into you and in return are frightened of displeasing god (Jehovah = Watchtower Bible and tract Society)

[naomi24]

goodlife, //Yes millions do. //

And millions starve.

//our convictions were based on thorough research and logical reasoning//

Belief in something that provides no hard evidence whatsoever for your conclusions is not logical reasoning.

[goodlife]

Take your heads out of the sand and look at the world with clear sight instead of blinkers.

^I have and I harbour no delusions. When my life is over I shall die. That's life, goodlife.

[goodlife]

No,people do not want to die. They desire to live and enjoy life. For that reason every effort is made to stamp out sickness and disease, and to extend life.
True the mere fact that death is such a common experience is little comfort.

But study of aging and the problems of the aged has become a serious science. Reputable scientists feel that they are on the verge of discovering the cause of aging. Some think that aging is programmed in the genes. Others feel that it is the accumulated result of damaging diseases and harmful by-products of metabolism. Still others attribute aging to hormones or the immune system. Scientists feel that if the cause of aging can be isolated, then perhaps it can be eliminated.

No one knows exactly what the process of aging is or why it runs a different course in different people, Nor does anyone know how to increase human longevity.
Whether you realize it or not, you are much older than you may think. Biological science tells us that at birth, a woman’s ovaries already contain all the ova, or eggs, that she will ever produce. This means that if your mother was 30 years of age at the time of your conception, the egg that eventually became you was already 30 years old.

That probably does not make you feel older, but day by day, you are getting older. Young or old, all of us are aging, and some of us are interested in slowing down that process—if not actually stopping it.

The hope of endless life was a major theme of Jesus’ preaching. His faithful follower Peter once said to him: “You have sayings of everlasting life.” (John 6:68) So the Bible mean it when it speaks of everlasting life.

[naomi24]

Goodlife, //No,people do not want to die.//

Of course they don't, but the sensible ones suffer under no delusions and neither do they lie to themselves. They will die - I will die. I'll be dead and unaware - so no problem. I can accept that.

[goodlife]

Naomi@ You still dont get the point do you? If we were meant to die there would be no grieving or feeling of loss and pain. It would be part of our make up. But it isn't is it? We grieve when we lose a loved one and the pain of that loss can linger for years. So at the end of the day, We werent meant to die!
Bye Bye for now.

[naomi24]

Goodlife, You believe your god made the rules so if we weren’t meant to die, we wouldn’t. The simple fact is we do. Who doesn’t ‘get it’?

[goodlife]

(Who doesn’t ‘get it’)
First we born in sin?” That question perplexed many,but How could one find the answer to this question?
If inherited, sin must have had a starting point. (Romans 5:12)

[Old_Geezer]

Sin isn't inherited. The sins of a father are not passed on to the sons. Although upbringing may make it more difficult to avoid repeating the same mistakes. One can grieve loss whether it is meant to be or inevitable. It us a fantasy to believe one should live forever. To exist forever is more debatable.

[Old_Geezer]

... IS ...

[naomi24]

Goodlife, //First we born in sin//

How anyone can admire – and even worship - something (God?) that could invent such a disgusting notion is quite beyond me. Your moral code, just like your God’s moral code, leaves much to be desired. Utterly shameful.
