THE IMPONDERABLES TOPIC (Enter at your own risk)
by Terry ini suggest taking this slowly .
.. consider the difference between taking a poll about an upcoming election and the actual vote itself on the day of the election.. the information gathered about what the vote will be is provisional.
the vote on the day of the election is actual and official.. it is the one that counts.. now, carefully ask yourself what the specific difference--if any--there is between the poll information and the election result as an identical knowledge of.

The only "knowledge" humans have of God is based on the stories we have told ourselves about him.
So any counter argument on his abilities to know the future or not is moot.

Why do cults love Tunnels?
by runForever inhehehe, brooklyn bethel had tunnels that went under the street to other buildings and now this warwick will have tunnels.. maybe it's because:" everyone who does evil hates the light, and does not come to the light for fear that his deeds will be exposed.
".
maybe they will be in their tunnels when they are saying : "say to the mountains, 'fall on us,' and to the hills, 'cover us.

They are calling it the "tunnel of love".
More like rat-run than a tunnel.

Why blame the elders or the GB when satan is such a handy boogey-man.

by Coded Logic in) why do animals suffer and die?.
) if this is all about god's soverenty, why cause the flood?

Be honest post do all posters on this site believe the bible is 100% or has flaws?
by booker-t inwe in the psychology/sociology field have a saying "when people protest too loud usually they are overcompensating".
i did not understand that when i first started studying psychology but now i understand it completely and it is so true.
when i hear someone constantly bashing something or someone such as gay bashing or ethnic bashing or religion bashing sometimes i wonder what are they hiding.

Elders and priests what 's the difference?
by sparrowdown inis being a "good" elder the same as being a "good" catholic priest?.
is there any difference between representing the rcc and representing that other bastion of child abuse the wt?.

No, of course child abuse is not confined to the RCC or JWs, the point is if you know that the religious group you are representing is up to it's eyeballs
in child abuse cover-ups and abuse scandals dating back decades and that group refuses to address the problem or even acknowledge it.
Then why the hell would you want to continue representing it (which would involve officially defending it) as an elder or a priest?

Wrestling with change, technology, jealousy, and spiritual need...
by silent inhey gang, i'm a fader and i've made a few posts in the past, but i mostly lurk.
i had a visit with a family member the other night and they know how i feel about my life as a witness growing up.
my life as a witness was not fun, i had no friends "in the truth," was picked on relentlessly in school, and basically my life as a witness left me with not one real good memory.

Hi silent, the WT are full of it; lies, double standards, inconsistencies, hypocrasy. This embracing of technology is just the latest back flip.
It can take some time to wash that cult right out of your hair, so hang in there. You seem to have insight into your tendency towards rigid thinking
which is good news because what was learned can also be unlearned and it sounds like you are well on the way. Good for you.
