  Because they are told to that by the church leaders.

  Apple Cider Vinegar

  by poppers in

  2. physical

  i've been drinking 1 tbs with a glass of water twice daily for digestion for about 3 weeks now.

  i've found it helps, but it also acts as an appetite suppressant; i've lost several pounds since using it.

  i'm consuming fewer calories because i'm just not as hungry as before.

  Look for something really outlandish, failed, culty, embarrasing, in a book, then advertise it emphasizing the passage. With a bit of luck a Dub will pay good money it to get it off the net.

  Failure?

  There are two of you. You have two kids. Is your idea of success contributing to the over-population of the planet your descendents will have to live in?

  the flood, mammoths, elphants, and food.

  by Crazyguy in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  my question is since it looks as though mammoths were alive after the flood and we know elephants are then how much food was needed to feed just these four animals for the time they were on the ark.

  also was the ark, 500 feet long, big enough to hold the amount of food needed for just these 4 animals.. .

  Even if they hibernated on the ark, they would still need to eat when they got off.

  Question for the nonbelievers and atheists

  by nykid in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  what specifically made you stop believing in god and the bible?

  was it a steady road of doubts or it was reading one book or one major event that made you realize the bible was not what it's claimed to be?.

  You got off lightly. Some of us had our children and grandchildren inducted into this cult before we woke up that it was run by a bunch of loonies.

  The WT has managed to poison you against a doctrine that the bulk of Christianity, including the Catholic Church, doesn't teach. It only ever addresses Modalism, pretending that is the Trinity. Have you ever researched the Trinity in, say, the Catholic Encylopedia, to see if what the WT was bashing was official Catholic doctrine?
