Poll--How Many Believe In God, Do Not Believe or Are Not Sure Of His Existence?

by minimus in

i believe in god but i'm not sure of anything....what about you?.

HowTheBibleWasCreated

I don't believe in the god of the bible or most gods of the world. As such I can say i'm and Athiest. However as to a Panthiestic view I am not sure. I don't think a god created life here and even if one did create it they surley did not guide it into frail humanity.

On a scale of 1-7 (Dawkins scale) 7 being absolutely sure these is not God and 1 saysing he exists for sure I would be a 5. (Dawkins rates himself a 6)

I am however spiritual as I do believe in Cosmic Balance and Visions of the future etc .

JW NWT AND OTHER BIBLE TRANSLATIONS ARE FALSE!

by ADJUSTMENTS in

to begin, i'm not trying to stir up any "conspiracy theories" or promote them but with the recent release of the nwt and "world government" convention tracts it's opened up the of door to the so called "conspiracy theories" for many.. so if your the type that's already turned of by the word "conspiracy theory" i suggest you leave this page and please don't comment, for those of us who can use your brain to reason and think, take a look at a couple videos and sites that makes you go hmm... and connect the dots.. the first video actually goes into depth and mentions the many falsehoods of the jw nwt at 13:50 and 1:04:25. for some reason it is not directly linking it is entitled new world order bible versions (full version ) about nine videos down.. .

I'm not turned of by conspiracy theories. This whole video is based on one simple fact:

Wescott& Hort vs. the Textus Receptus.

I am against the video (And I have watched it before) because I know who made it.

At what age did you notice time went by so fast?

i like so many americans left my parent's house as soon as i could (age 19).

i would see them maybe one or two times a year for the next ten years.

when i hit thirty and got married it was even less frequent.

HowTheBibleWasCreated

Im 36. I nver felt I was old. I was a kid, teenager and stayed that way until 33 actually.. because of JWs!... yes realizing God was not real grew me up quickly... Then my goal... marry a prett wife, have a family, live in peace... is coming true...

At 36 I'm more into exploration.. two things:

1. How was the bible written... thus my project

2. What religion do I belong to.... good question I give myself 4 years... lol

some thing to consider for bible believers

by Crazyguy in

the oldest in tact bible found is the codex voronicus, (miss spelled) and the oldest writings ever found were the greek septuagint written by jews in alexandria.

both of these collections of writings included the apocryphal and other writings like chapters and other verses of daniel not included in the jw bible.

so the question one must ask, is if your a bible believer how can you just throw out these writings, because reading these additional writings will change your understanding of what you have learned?.

HowTheBibleWasCreated

Good point. (Just a correction the oldest biblical text actually dates to around 600BCE... It is lines of the priestly belssing un Numbers 6.)

As to the books mentioned:

Chronicles-Ezra/Nehemiah are incomplete without 1 Maccabees and many schoolars note that they were a collection. together.

The Book of Enoch is quotes in Jude and the comoslogy of Revelation follows Enoch.

2 Maccabees is alluded to in Hebrews

Athiests: Do you ever wonder... what if?

i'll start by saying, i'm a ministerial servant who is trapped in the religion.

my wife is hardcore...but i've slowly been getting her to lighten up, so i'll take it!

all my friends and family are jw's, and i am employed by a jw (who is actually a great boss).

HowTheBibleWasCreated

No i don't. ERVs killed that idea of a god. (See my post on creation a few days ago) So no BS then. I was going to die.

As for life after death I don;t worry because if I die... i won't worry if there is nothing lol

If there is something after and my mempries continue as quantum flucuations... so be it...

Name Some Things That JWs Look Down Upon That Normal People Wouldn't Even Think About?

by minimus in

jw
friends

jws look down on others for saying, "bless you" if someone sneezes.

it has something to do with the demons.

another example is that it is considered satanic if a man took his hat off for a lady!

Exodus 24:10 - The Israelites saw Jehovah? Has this scripture ever been explained?

by truthseeker in

jw
friends

has anyone really pondered what this means?

jehovah said that no man can see god and live, and here at least 70 people saw jehovah standing on a bright blue pavement.

24 then the lord said to moses, come up to the lord , you and aaron, nadab and abihu, and seventy of the elders of israel.

This text is from the 'Elohist' and the text is better translated: "They saw the El of Contended with El."

In the Elohist's writings El (God) walks around, sends dreams, desires sacrifices. etc
