  a terrorist has shot a man and held a women captive.

  after a number of explosions police attended and a gunfight resulted in the terrorist being shot dead the women was not harmed and two officers were shot with slight injuries.

  the gunman yacqub khayre was on a terror watch list and isis has claimed responsibility.. stay safe everyone especially during ramadan the killing month.

  Well, when people are fasting or depriving themselves of food, their blood sugar levels are low, and they may act stupidly...

  (I'm being silly by the way)

  i have been out for nearly 40 years now - baptized at 14 (although not to the org), but faded away.

  Yes, I genuinely feel that they honestly believe all the teachings.

  Some people promote conspiracy theories about the GB being in it for other purposes, but I disagree.

  The GB honestly believe that they have "the Truth"

  i left the religion back in the early 2000's, tell you the truth it's been so long now i've been out i don't remember exactly when i left.

  i definitely used this site a lot when i first left and it was a great asset.

  when i left i somehow managed to get my parents to come with me.

  If the very basis of the religion is false, WHY would you even entertain the idea of returning?

  It is precisely because I value truth and honesty that I left.....Never to return!

  Last of the big conventions?

  by NikL in

  2. friends

  had lunch with some friends during today's waste of time convention.

  they spoke of the rumor floating around that the jws will move away from these big regional conventions and have them at assembly halls and tie them in to kingdom halls.. they seemed to believe it was a pretty reliable source.. i think it would be too good to be true but who knows?.

  anyone else heard this rumor?.

  In Australia that is already happening.

  Rather than the annual large stadium conventions, they are doing 6 or more weekends in a row at the assembly halls and splitting the congregations up to attend...

  How can angels be sexually attracted to women?

  by Island Man in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the nephilim account in genesis is utterly ridiculous when you consider that angels are sex-less beings and would therefore lack sex-drive and romantic attraction.

  think of how difficult it is for humans with a sex drive to be sexually attracted to animals.

  now take away that sex drive and it becomes literally impossible.

  The mysongenistic male focussed nature of the ancient times stands out in this story. - "Women were to be USED by males."

  Why didn't some of the angels take on a female form and have sex with the males on earth??

  Welcome!
  Sent you a PM.

  Take control of your life. Play it cautiously with the elders, but remember the well used expression here on the forum:

  "The only power they have over you is that which you allow"

  How do you feel when people quote an inspirational or lovely passage from the bible?

  by stuckinarut2 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  a thought occurred to us today about how christians, including witnesses love to quote some lovely passage of the bible as proof of god's love, or the value of the bible.. but just because a small passage or sentence is quoted doesn't mean the whole book is to be valued.. for instance, there may be a nice sentence or comment expressed in the passage of mein kampf, but would that make the book or it's author worthy of quoting or following?

  the entire book and its message needs to taken into consideration!

  (obviously that author had genocidal tendencies and disturbing ideas).
