Its going to take me forever to sneak read the whole thing. I'm at the part that they are disfellowshiping people for oral sex. Imagine, people having oral sex gross! I wouldn't do it.:) venting.

Will Elders Still Perform Marriages If The Sister Doesn't Marry At Least A Ministerial Servant?

by minimus in

based upon the last big meeting this past weekend, would it be proper for an elder to perform a wedding ceremony if the brother is not at least a mini servant?.

Tight Pants Tony must have clean feet, because their usualy in his mouth. But this you should marry only a M.S. is one dumbest things I have ever heard. I know more than one example of people chooseing Elders or M.s for a mate, and it turned out to be a nightmere.

Why was such a GREAT, GREAT, GREAT thing as Internet not foretold in the Bible?

by Pinku in

jws claim that even such a small thing as proclaiming 1986 as the international year for peace was foretold in the bible.

this raises the question: why was such a great thing as internet (the influence of which could not even be compared with anything in the history at all) not foretold in the bible?

with internet and tv the world has become literally a global village!.

venting

I have always woundered that. Also why the bible didn't fortel holocaust, atomic bomb, guns, moon landing, rovers on mars, ect... And doesn't mention Dinasaurs, and creatures way way before them. And the 3 or 4 mass extinctions. The so called propheys that came true can be explaned. People in the org. will say things like, God hides things from the smart ones and reveals it to babes. If you question when is the end comming, they will quote, people will say where is this promised presence of his? If the Bible had mentioned all these things, how could anybody deny that it was from God? But instead it's vague.

evolution

by venting in

just wanted to encourage people still in the org.

to study the theory of evolution in a non jehovahs witness setting.

i used to think the evolution book was great.

venting

Thanks Phizzy. Thats good advice. When I was taught evolution for the first time in school my teacher didn't belive it. He must have been a creationist. There is so much more evidence now. venting.

My wife is doing a good job pounding the doctrines into my youngest child. You can no longer watch Tinkerbell because many of the very spirirtual sisters say its rooted in the devil. When my kid studies evolution in school this will be a challange to keep the peace. venting.

Dr. Kent Bradly and Dr. Nancy Writebol's healings Prove to me there is a God!

by BucketShopBill in

i get tired of using the argument of "the mystery of evil" to attack god but where are we when we see heroic acts of godly courage from great humans like dr. kent bradly and dr. nancy writebols wonderful works of love?

did you listen to dr. kent bradley's concern and loving compassion for west africa?

he's not angry superstitious mobs destroyed several make-shift medical facilities to treat victims of ebola, no, dr. bradly implored the world to "help save west africa".

venting

The work that they do speaks for it self. I'm very pleased that they are healthy again. But I,m always uncomfortable when someone says god did it. So god didn't care about the thousands who died in Africa? I think they are alive because of good doctors and medical science. But I sure could be wrong. venting.
