Prove what?

That you have influence over the weather.

MaxInDHouse:
You love deceiving yourself a lot!

Here we are all freely chatting with people facelessly and you are saying you know a religion that has been for centuries and they've not come to their end, and they're not speaking to anyone shey?

I thought Atheism doesn't allow people cover up what is not logical?

LMFAO! What is this jagbajantis you just wrote? I can't even make head or tail of it.

MaxInDHouse:
Do you really know Jehovah's Witnesses?

Because we are the most silent preaching team on this planet, we have only speak to people who permitted us unlike all other religions that will forcefully speak with their megaphones disturbing their neighbourhood! Matthew 12:19

Yet here you are stuffing in your JW stuff uninvited or unrequested. Are you not here disturbing people who don't care for your JW stuff? LoL.

The Jains are quiet and are not looking to have their god give them the world they pretend not to like.

MaxInDHouse:
How many people in your village have heard of them?

I don't know. Maybe because they aren't noisemakers like you.

MaxInDHouse:
How many countries have they been to convert prospective killers?

I don't know how many countries but they certainly have had more converts or adherents than JWs since their religion is hundreds of years older than yours.

A former aide said Johnson was told the parties could be breaking Covid rules.

MaxInDHouse:
Do you see what i meant by WISDOM?

Well let me enlighten you.
Humans will always have one reason or another to quarrel due to imperfection and when such happens it's the duty of those who are serving in the office of oversight that will call them to order.
But when two persons had issues and a group of people start supporting one while another group started supporting the other until they begin to pick up weapons against one another that simply means there's no one to call them to order. That's what often leads to WARS.

Only Jehovah's Witnesses have stopped this in our midst completely!

Wrong! You aren't the only ones. Jains also have a vow of non-violence. And their religion is older than yours so they've had more practice at it than JW.

MaxInDHouse:
The KNOWLEDGE to make things better or make better things keep increasing but when it comes to WISDOM it's about knowing how to apply what we know for lasting benefits.
The credit of electronics and technology belongs to humanity in general it has nothing to do with whether you believe in God or not.
But to make humans cohabit peacefully nah only Jehovah's Witnesses Sabi that one!

Ah yes you are so peaceful none of your members has had problems with the organisation and left or the organisation has never been sued to court because of how peaceful it is. LoLz

MaxInDHouse:
KNOWLEDGE is the accumulation of useful information. All living things have some level it it.

But

WISDOM is the practical application of accumulated information which results in lasting benefits. Only Jehovah's Witnesses have this!

Ah yes I forgot it was JW that made the Internet and the device you are using to access it. LoLz.

pedrozone15:
People are becoming atheists to escape from the reality that there is a GOD to answer to and that their lives are not theirs to misuse.

More like people are becoming atheists because they are realising that so far gods have turned out to be fairytales.

OscarJaden:
Good afternoon nairalanders,before i start pardon my grammatical errors please
So sometimes last year a female friend of mind came to stay in our apartment me and my guy for a while because of accommodation issues,during that period they started having unprotected sex which i warn my guy to be careful to avoid story that touch.
Around june she move out of our apartment since then we are always keeping in touch via chat and calls,just today she told me that she is pregnant for my guy and she will soon put to bed by first week of February..
She warn me not tell to my guy about it no matter what and i promised her to do so.

The main issue now is that should i let my best friend know about it or i should keep quiet,what if he found out later that he has a baby with her and i have been keeping such secret from him, won't it affect our relationship?mind you,this is a guy we went to the same university together,we do most things together and also presently doing our nysc in the same organisation together


Please i need your advice on what to do so that at the end i won't look like the bad one
Below is our chat between me and the girl

You don't have to tell him but you can subtle urge him to enquire after her so that she can have the opportunity to tell him herself. Otherwise stay out of it, it's really not your business how adults handle their personal affairs.

StealthGuy:
I'm an introvert, and sometimes I find it difficult to maintain social relationships for a long period because of how tasking they are, and the issues that can easily come off from them.

My background is one where I suffered bullying, at boarding school by seniors and at home from my brother (I've had to cut him off after his last provocations), and I've continually deflected all his flaccid attempts to reconciliation too because I'm still sore. Also, I had a long period of battle with depression and PTSDs as side effects, even I was on sleeping pills too but not for long.

I'm not the sort of guy that blame others for my problems, I was raised to be responsible for me but lately I've been trying to set my life back on course and be vulnerable towards people, and everything seem to not be working towards the direction I want, like they're all going south when I intend for a northward movement.

I'm finding myself reacting to issues with silence due to how draining taking them on could be, and I'm selective with my battles now because even if I win, I'd still lose more energy. Work has been my good forth but at home I hardly communicate effectively, I show flashes of anger (started after my fallout with my brother, although, only verbal). Again, I can easily depersonalise at work, I only use empathy but at home, I mix up the whole emotions thing.

It's really difficult right now as I stay alone, and I find myself needing some more physical presence of people around me.

Every time I get close to people, they all eventually leave because I'm not as easily stimulated towards them or I get over attached and then they get scared off.

My coping mechanisms are books which I drink up on, church, movies and talks with my friends.

My hustle has started kicking back in to above pre-covid era but I'm in a dire strait now here for my personal challenges.

Kindly advise please.

Your situation is expected for someone with your personality construct. Perhaps you could benefit from counselling. There are free online resources that offer counselling that you can take advantage of.

HOW TO MAINTAIN ORAL HEALTH
Healthy teeth and mouth are very important. Do you remember this song…

‘This is the way I brush my teeth, brush my teeth, brush my teeth, this is the way I brush my teeth early in the morning’.

How do you brush your teeth? Do you use fluoride toothpaste? What is the condition of your toothbrush? These are questions we would leave you to answer.

When you wake up in the morning one of the things you do is to brush your teeth and the last thing you do at night but not everyone brushes their teeth at night and this is not good at all.

What is the mouth?
The mouth is also called the oral cavity through which food and air enter the body. It is made up of the teeth, tongue, gums, salivary glands, upper and lower jaw, etc.

In this article, we would focus on how to keep your teeth and mouth healthy. You have to keep your mouth clean to avoid tooth decay and mouth odour.

To keep your mouth and teeth healthy you need to brush your teeth twice daily making use of fluoride toothpaste. Tooth brushing prevents plaque from building up on your teeth.

WHAT IS PLAGUE?
Plaque is a film of bacteria that coats your teeth If you don’t brush them properly it contributes to tooth decay and gum diseases.

When brushing your teeth you should open your mouth and brush all the surfaces of your teeth (inside surfaces, outside surfaces, and the chewing surface of your teeth).

NOTE; Don’t rinse your mouth with water after brushing, this is a mistake most of us make. After brushing, spit out any excess toothpaste. Rinsing your mouth after brushing could wash away the concentrated fluoride in the remaining toothpaste and reduce its preventative effect.

In one of the articles, we talked about a smile, to give a beautiful smile our mouth and teeth must be clean to make the smile an attractive one. Imagine smiling at someone and the person giving an irritating look because of the condition of your teeth, will you be happy?

Here are some mistakes you need to avoid while brushing your mouth;
1. Brushing your teeth more than twice a day could damage the gum and erode the enamel on your teeth.
2. Not cleaning your tongue; You clean your tongue to avoid bad breath and remove bacteria.
3. Rinsing your mouth with water after brushing your teeth.
4. Make use of your toothbrush for a long period; Your toothbrush should be used only for three months.
5. Not brushing your teeth long enough; The time duration for brushing your teeth should be at least 2 minutes, anything less than 2 minutes is not good enough cause it doesn’t give the fluoride in your toothpaste enough time to attach to the enamel of your tooth.
Always keep your mouth healthy by brushing twice a day and smiling.

Thanks for reading. Please do leave a comment for us if you find this article useful.

I read somewhere that it is better to drink water after brushing instead of rinsing.

MaxInDHouse:
So why do you choose to chat with the IGNORANT and not the WISE like yourself?

I chat with both the wise and the ignorant so that knowledge keeps on flowing.

MaxInDHouse:
You and i have traveled through the before but it seems you often forget so fast.

The Bible book of Job was written some 4,000 years ago when those claiming knowledgeable thought the earth is resting on something but the Author of the Bible (GOD) told Moses (writer) to pen this down:

"He stretches out the northern sky over empty space, Suspending the earth upon nothing" Job 26:7

The Bible book of Isaiah was written some 600 years later when those claiming knowledgeable thought the earth is flat but the Author (GOD) told Isaiah (writer) to pen this down:

"There is One who dwells above the circle of the earth, And its inhabitants are like grasshoppers. He is stretching out the heavens like a fine gauze, And he spreads them out like a tent to dwell in" Isaiah 40:22

Do you think those writers who never had all the gadgets available today thought of these themselves? Isaiah 55:8-9

The book of Job was mostly likely written in the 6th century not 4000years ago. By the time it was written humans already had extensive knowledge of celestial phenomenon so there is no reason to think this passage in Job showed any kind of otherworldly knowledge. The passage in the book of Isaiah does not mention a sphere which is what the shape of the earth is more like, instead it mentions a circle, a 2 dimensional object. Either your god did not know what the shape of the earth is or he thought humans were too dumb to understand what a sphere was. Joking aside it indicates the author did not know what the shape of the earth is. No need to to try and finagle meaning from it since sphere and circle are not the same.

Workch:
anytime I read comments from MaxInDHouse, it reminds me of a very illiterate person who will never want to learn.

How can an adult be asking how to different gases and in his mind, he thinks it's impossible to do that hence God exist.

In this age of information, where we know the freezing points of all gases and can see them when we reduce the temperature to their freezing points, weigh these gases using mass spectrometry and even see their atoms under electron microscope, a Jehovah witness illiterate is still asking how to differentiate between Gases

Religion is bad, it keeps a humans on 21th still stuck in bronze age.

MaxInDHouse brand of religious fervor is based on keeping people ignorant and perpetuating ignorance. I don't think that applies to all religion though, many religious people are not so invested in maintaining ignorance.

MaxInDHouse:
You're welcome professor, i'm sure you will agree that there are poisonous gases yet they are INVISIBLE!

Invisible to the naked eye doesn't mean it is not a physical substance or that it can't be physically manipulated. Your god neither has physical substance nor can he be physically manipulated so the comparison stops at Invisible.

MaxInDHouse:
Just as a CEO directs his secretary to type a mail and send to a specific address.
Of course it's the secretary that typed the message but the ideas aren't that of the secretary!

Which ideas are not human? There is nothing in the Bible that indicates otherworldly knowledge. It is comprised of human ideas and gaps in human knowledge.

MaxInDHouse:
Smartness is the key here not just by sight! 2Corinthians 5:7
Oxygen, Nitrogen, Hydrogen, Peroxide are all forms of gases. Only oxygen is good for human lungs while others are poisonous.
Can you just show me the differences in those gases without a loooooong story?
Confused dullards claiming smartness!

The EVIDENCE of Gods can only be seen when you observe those adhering to the orders of these Gods, you won't see nothing!

If nitrogen and hydrogen were poisonous you'd be dead. You won't even have been born because no human would be alive. The air you breathe is largely nitrogen, 78% to be exact. Only 20% of the air you breathe is oxygen.

MaxInDHouse:
The Author is not human

A book written by humans with human knowledge and ignorance is authored by a non-human? LoLz. SMH.

Myer:
This my friend is the question.
Cos when it's the mind, it normally should be from what is stored up from your experience.

But when it's spirit, then you yourself know the source of your knowledge transcends your experiences.

Yet none of those who claim to be in touch via spirit can demonstrate any capacity beyond what would be naturally available to them. I have tested this several times and no one has fulfilled it. My tentative conclusion is no spirit connection has been demonstrated.

budaatum:
It is constituted of light. Though, saying that one could argue the light just allows one to see the shadow.

My light school was like 40 years ago, my Lord. Let me go do some learning and come back on this one.

I can't wrap my head around how it is constituted of light and at the same time the absence of light.

Share what you learn dear buda, don't be a hog. LoL!

elated177:
Perceived influence? You are saying it is not possible?

I am saying you need to prove it.

budaatum:
"Made of", I suppose, would be layperson speak for, the light creates the shadow.

Shadows are made by the manipulation of light, my Lord. Without a light source, you can't have shadows (nor light, obviously), so the light source makes (or, creates) [the] shadow. No light, no shadow.

Yeah but you are defining the way it was formed not what it is constituted of.

triplechoice:
Then be definite about your usage of the word,effect, because you create a critical misunderstanding by using it in isolation.

A subjective reaction to something is also effect. But would you accept it is real effect caused by something?

You have been using that word for or so long on this thread that I think it is about time you mentioned exactly what you mean by effects and stick to it so as to remove all suspicion.

Sorry if I have accused you wrongly but I have explained why
.

I would define effect as the result of a prior cause or event so yes a subjective reaction is also an effect.

No offence taken, I just thought I goofed somewhere.

budaatum:
In a way, that is what I am saying. You can't have a shadow if you have no light source. You can't have light neither without a light source.

The manipulation of a light source produces light, and shadows, don't you think? The shadow being formed by reducing the effect of the light source by bending the light away from the shadowed area.

Yes but can you explain how a shadow is made of light and is not made of light at the same time. As far as I know that is impossible.

budaatum:
Is scattering not just bending in various different directions simultaneously?

In a manner of speaking, the difference being in bending the light continues through the medium while with scattering the light is changing direction without penetrating the medium.

budaatum:
Is it not the same bending of light that forms shadows, my Lord?

I mean, shadows are after all, a reduction of the full source of the light on the shadowed area. If no light at all gets to the shadowed area, that area would be in no-light, as in, darkness, as opposed to some light reaching the shadowed area to form a shadow.

Genrally the light that gets into the shadow area does so by scattering or reflection not by bending but of course you can have scenarios where both scattering and bending are producing an effect.

budaatum:
Are shadows not made of light?

They are made by light being blocked so how can they be made of light? It's like saying they are light and not light simultaneously.

Sounds like, things I do not directly manipulate are immaterial, according to you.

I am baking bread. Or at least I would have thought I was before this. I am not directly manipulating the baking process, not after the mixing and kneading. Its in the oven, baking. So I am not baking bread anymore. The bread is being baked by the oven.

I could be driving (manipulating) a car, but since the engine is burning the oil that moves the car, I guess I am not really directly driving the car, especially since even turning the wheels in the direction I want to go is not directly done by me.

I am being absurd, of course.

No that is not what I mean. Your inability to directly manipulate a shadow is not a quality that is meant to extend to everything else. It is meant to underline the immaterial nature of shadow which while is visible is not made of substance. Of course there are many things you don't directly manipulate but they are material and can be directly manipulated even if you can't do so now.

triplechoice:
You want to force me to say what you want me to say?

I said what you, I mean , YOU, refer or think is shadow is a phenomenon caused by the absence of light. It is not really a thing on the wall even though it is seen as such. Reread again. The statement is a natural follow up from our previous discussion. It is how you yourself see it I am talking about and not me.



You still don't get .

OK. Let me ask you. Is an echo a real sound?

Yes or no.

Yes.

Now, look at this. supposing you inadvertently spill bleach on your cloth and images now appear from the bleached parts of the cloth, would you now describe those images as a separate thing and not the cloth that has had some parts of it beached, that is ,would you call the images things and not a part of the cloth that is now bleached?

You mean when the colour is distorted? The colour was already on the cloth so a bleach stain has not changed that fact. If it something like a food stain then yes a separate thing is on the cloth.

I think you're stubbornly clinging on to how you have been taught to describe certain things and not willing to see things exactly the way they are.

You are making up something you have absolutely no idea about. You have no idea what or how my education has proceeded so you really have no basis to make this statement.

The true meaning of what it i means to create is to bring into existence something that has never existed before.

True meaning as defined by who, you?

I think the conversation should end now. It is your choice and right to view the world from whatever position you want to view it from.

That is up to you nobody is being forced to participate in the conversation.

But when one insist on viewing reality from a singular stand point, it may become difficult to understand the certain things.

I am seeing things from your position but you're not willing to see from my side.

You have not expressed your own view, only interrogated mine so how am I supposed to see what you haven't shown me yet?

triplechoice:
Oh. I mistakenly quoted you instead of Lordreed.

It was meant for him not you..

But then, I know things are not necessary effects but he , Lordreed, seems to use that word to "carry" so many things along to make
it easy to change his position when it doesn't favor him.

Or he should qualify the word, effect, so we know exactly what he is talking about

Can you state where I changed something because it didn't favour me?

If light passes through certain medium it will bend eg water. It doesn'tmater what the source of light is, it will bend in water.

budaatum:
How?
