by kneehighmiah inseptember 11, 2001. riding the bus to school that tuesday morning we discussed the implications of the monday night football game between the broncos and the dolphins.

america had passed into a new era that would lead to major changes.

It will fall and give birth to 2 or 3 splinter religions. It happened in the 1920s and it will happen again. The main point is Brooklyn control will eventually fail.

"Probably You Might be Saved" - Somewhere in Zephaniah As I Recall
by Perry inthe watchtower (and old-timers in the org) love to quote old testament passages that were directed toward israel.
however, the new testament is "a better covenant based upon better promises".. in the following verses, salvation is not described as a possibility, but as a certainty, as a present possession for the original christians:.
justification is a present possession (rom.

We used to have 3 congregations here... average of 80. Now it's two cogregations average of 80 on Sunday and 50 maybe during weeks.
It used to take them 6-1 yr to finish territory. Now it's 3 years.

Use a text-speech cpnverter and make it into and audio file. Hit the repeat on your mp3 player and listen through the day... at work, walking the dog, cooking etc.

Bible Atrocities
by Trapped in JW land ini really can't wrap my head around how people can still consider god loving with such atrocious biblical accounts such as, 1 samuel 15, (god ordering the slaughter of amelikite baby's and children) 2nd kings 2, forgot the verses (god sending bears to maul 42 children) and many others.have you ever asked a witness or anyone elsewhat they think about these accounts?
what was their response?
i'd love to ask one, but unfortunately i'm still physically in the cult and i wouldn't want to raise any suspicions.

Oh the morality issue.
Here is one for you then!
You are good because there is a God who will eith 'chastize you', send you to hell, kill you at Armagedden... take you pick. You also need a book to tell you to be moral.
Amazing.
Athiest are good because they WANT to be good.
It is the believer that is shallow.

Don't You Think It's Odd That "Jehovah" Was Invented By A Catholic Monk?...
by minimus inand that jehovah's witnesses are proud to use that name?.

Actually it does matter. Knowing the name of 'God' is YHWH means we can search for him in arceology and find out for instance:
He was a regional God
He was Married to Asherah (Sacred Pole)
He replaced El... the previous Canaanite/Israelite head God
He came from the Shashu tribe south of Edom in Midian area.
Knowing that 'God' has a name it the first step to proving he doesn't exist

Crap trying to reason with a Mormon He is asking about the Sabath
by Found Sheep innice guy i worked with him for about a year.
he is mormon but every time we were in a place to talk he brought up religion, cult thinking.... he needs to come clean i think.... ripe for the vine of non cult thinking but not an ex-jw so i don't have the upper hand?
is there a coc for mormons?

never mide the Sabbath... Crack his Book of Mormon.
He believe this book was translated from Gold plates that date back at least 1600 years and were translated 150 years ago into 17th centery english
The book of 2 Nephi contians long major sections of quotes from Isaiah.
Ask him how come you can get a King James Bible and open it to Isaiah and read the same passage in 2 Nephi WORD PER WORD 100%.
Sorry translation doesn't work like that!
Joseph Smith used the KJV as a source not imaginary Gold plates that weighed 200 lbs that be ran miles carrying.

Dinosaurs.
by bobert inas a jw i always believed that dinosaurs at one point existed.
my whole family did, almost all the jws i knew did.
one time i was out for dinner, and one of the people with us was convinced that they never existed.

The WTs idea for dinosaurs is not very creative. Even Kent Hovind can beat them with creatures from Job.
How does the WT explain the DNA map of evolution. Are they going to deny that DNA exists next?
