  How Many People Here Still Believe In “God”?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  because of this site i realized that there were many people who were active jehovah’s witnesses really didn’t believe in god at all.

  i’m curious how many people believe in god?

  i’m not interested in debating why you shouldn’t have a belief in a god or should.

  You say you don't want to the debate that inevitably comes with these threads so I'm curious why are you curious?

  I thought we'd been down this road before or am I having deja vu.

  Terry, interesting take on Cathy Newman's interview strategy you have there I see what you're saying and agree except for the "brilliant" bit, I thought it made her look ignorant and mean-spirited.

  I thought it was appallingly biased and a patently obvious baiting game on her part. Prof Peterson did well to stick to reasonable discussion despite her insistence to get him to play the part of the mysogynistic jerk she so desperately wanted him to play with her repeated "so you're saying" comebacks.

  Ugh, it was painful to watch.

  Gordon Nehemia - Finding God's holy name with full vowels

  by Da.Furious in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i was just sent a link to a jewish scholar that apparently he has found 1,000 manuscripts with yehovah and latest discovery is one with vowels that supports the spelling yehovah.

  so this pits the myth that jews have forgotten the name into rest.. i got excited jws about the finding in support of the nwt showing the name as it should be.. just wanted to share this with you guys.. link to the blog and podcat: https://www.nehemiaswall.com/1000-manuscripts-yehovah#more-13611.

  also link to michael rood (blog:https://www.michaelrood.tv/) interview who is his friend:.

  "I am who Iam" and "He is who he is" strangely, reminds me of...

  "It's goodnight from me."

  "And, it's goodnight from him."

  so, i think i’m going to be df’d, but elders are out of town and no decision has been officially reached.

  what would happen if i sent a certified overnight letter and said that i was going to disassociate before they have their meeting??.

  i know the two conditions are similar, but i’m just curious... dd.

  2. friends

  recently i talked to an elder about this type of witnessing.

  i’ve known him for many years and he is a very honest upright man.

  he marveled at how many people have become baptized in the last couple of years because of cart witnessing.

  They may want to DF out of spite first but if you would prefer to DA then just send it regardless.

  Hey Terry, I take it you've seen the JP vs channel 4 Cathy Newman debacle?

  If not, totally worth a look, classic Peterson.

  Edited to say oops, Cofty already mentioned it.

  Let's see now that's 72 + 23 = marvelous numbers getting baptized because....carts, carts everywhere... yaaaaaaaaaay!

  Without any context it's impossible to say if this is even true let alone solely because of the cart people.

  I'd say that puts KC in the overlapping gen class.

  Hey the GB could be known as KC and the Sunshine Band - ironically of course.
