I think you're missing my point. I agree that there are societies in history and current circumstances that necessitate killing and causing suffering for survival. My point is that most of us in the modern day western world have the relatively new and unique fortunate option to have food choices...

curious what you mean... Ruined as in you thought COVID was overblown, but the rest of the cong was adhering to non-logical rules?

I would still probably be attending meetings if the org had taken the stance that covid 'rules' didn't have much rationality based on health, and how important meeting in person should continue to be. The GB pivoted, and people got comfortable. Its a difficult narrative to reverse.

why did you feel bad that he was stumbled by that? where there other parts of the conversation that convinced you he was worse off than if he had stayed in?

very curious to hear your background and story of waking up and connecting the dots, when you are ready!

i hope this is correct!

This has always rubbed me in the wrong way. 30 seems like a reasonable age to fully understand the commitment (and comprehend consequences of DFing), and follow the example of Jesus. Also- getting baptized without having read the bible cover-to-cover is ludicrous. It should be one of the...

the burn was delayed, but it did happen. Several parts of the event can be debaucherous, but there are aspects that are really interesting/ cool.

Big lawsuits in the USA happen to people with deep pockets. People or organizations don't typically waste the expense on lawsuits if the defendant doesn't have any money... can't get blood out of a turnip. The exception being threatening lawsuit in effort to intimidate or silence her from...

probably the same thing as Christ over the congregation and man over his wife: responsibility, care, and love

that isn't my point. Kim vocally of taps herself on the back for being so thoughtful as to get explicit permission before sharing. Yet highly unlikely she gave the poor brother the same opportunity.

Kim states at the beginning that she got Selena's permission to air the video, but did she get the brother's permission that Selena was talking to? In all fairness i bet the brother was caught off guard, had nothing to do with the situation, and didn't want to be filmed-- much less circulated on...

that was an amazing way to start the day! thank you.

i know you live in oahu, but hotel accommodation on coastal maui runs $500-$800 a night anyway doesn't it?

what if there were studies that showed being on a cannibalistic diet improved health... should people implement that for the sake of pure personal health, or consider how their actions of intake affect others?

i can def respect your not taking anything at face value. Quoting WT as supporting evidence on this forum is almost laughable though! I think looking at the motivation behind whats being questioned is wise. There is def motivation for some Christian groups to refute evolution. What do you...

or, another explanation is that animals did not come on this planet by twos in an instant all together. or that languages evolved over time and land migration, and not in an instant. this seems more logical and likely

it is pretty much scientifically undisputable that dinosaurs were extinct more than 6000 years ago, and that some dinosaurs were absolutely predators. Sedimentary rock, fossils, stomach content, shape of jaw/teeth, and plain logic all point to this conclusion. I have to be honest i'm a little...

what about the flesh-eating dinosaurs that were extinct before Adam and Eve?

i believe chemically cultured meat is meat on a biological level - the additives may differ across chicken, beef, etc. and across producers. Lots of things are mass-produced or labgrown (beer, yeast, etc) so while health is one issue, morality is another. it seems a little inconsistent to your...
