  Ive also noticed quite a few forum members from the past who have started posting again after some time away. It's great to see familiar "faces" again.

  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).

  Is there any evidence that the WTS stated the 20th century would be the last?

  by TTWSYF in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  i know that other early dates are well documented leading up to 1975. it did seemed that the wts learned to stop setting dates, but i seem to recall talk about the 20th century will certainly be the last according to god's perfect timing.

  i can't recall specifically where i heard such blatant rhetoric though.. anyone?

  bueller?

  Exactly what Bungi Bill said.

  Originally that 1989 WT said "This work will be completed BEFORE the end of the 20th century"

  Then the bound volume changed it to "This work will be completed in 'our day'"

  So too with the bible. Although some passages may be inspirational, motivational or seemingly kind and loving, many other passages and parts of the book seem to indicate that the "author" has had a track record of genocidal and violent tendencies...AND such plans for the future too according to witnesses!

  Thoughts?

  Day One Lowlights

  by FedUpJW in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  too much crap to keep track of, but a few low lights of day one of the regional convention stuck out.

  in no particular time sequence here is some of what i managed to hold down.. tight pants yapped on in the opening part about a three part theme to conventions.

  part 1 was in 2016, part 2 is this year, and part 3 is in the works for 2018. i guess the big a isn't coming for a couple more years, at least.. then it was really stressed that all good dubs must always be prepared to "witness" by carrying jay double you, dot org calling cards, and of course wear your id card for the convention at all times, and all places.. next was the strong statement that the purpose of the carts/trolleys is not to place literature, it is to direct people of the public to "our" web site!

  Yes, disgusting and opportunistic behaviour.

  But what is worse, is the claim by that elder that they don't target such ones! That is an outright lie, as all of us know!!
