  You know it's the Truth, because it attracts crazy people.

  i wish i was kidding, but i have heard this idea suggested lately as a defense of the wts.

  this is god's organization, even though it attracts crazy people, and because it attracts crazy people.

  "unlettered and ordinary," et cetera.. i don't get it.

  Aron-Ra: Meteorology and the Flood

  by schnell in

  a few days ago, aron-ra posted a new video commencing what he promises to be a new series debunking the noachian flood.

  he did this despite the fact that every adult should know it didn't happen, and yet many do.. i'd like to remind everyone what the insight book says: .

  the genesis account of creation tells how on the second “day” jehovah made an expanse about the earth, and this expanse (called “heaven”) formed a division between the waters below it, that is, the oceans, and the waters above it.

  (just posted this over on exjw reddit as well).

  as part of my masters in architecture degree (a treat to myself after leaving jws about 4 years ago), i'm attempting to digitally reconstruct some of watchtower's significant early buildings.

  my goal is to produce accurate architectural drawings and images based on solid evidence.

  My Thoughts on the Subject of Faith

  by Saethydd in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i've had several discussion about the basis for faith in an all powerful creator for the universe, and it seems as if the conversation often comes back to, "well, either way, you have to have faith either in a creator or in the process of evolution because you can't observe that either.

  " setting aside the issue of creation and evolution (where i currently sit at undecided), i was also troubled by the tendency to treat faith as a static or absolute concept when in reality it is far more complex.. to begin with, faith isn't just about belief, it combines the concepts of belief and trust.

  for the purposes of this discussion, i will be focusing primarily on the second attribute.

  You guys realize of course that talking to us like this is a

  disfellowshipping offence which should tell us two things,

  1. This man doesn't take his own beliefs seriously therefore he is full of it,

  2. Unless he is remorseful and repents to the elders (even if he claims that he is one)

  -By their own Theology he will die at Armageddon

  Which level of faith would you suggest we have for the murderer of 70000 INNOCENT men (just so we have the magnitude right start counting 0- 70000 let me know when you're done) INNOCENT because David sinned, Can you hear the screams of women throughout the land and their children, WHERE'S DADDY?! JEHOVAH KILLED HIM!! WHY? WAS DADDY BAD! NAH JEHOVAH MUST'VE BEEN HAVING A BAD DAY, Such a loving kind wonderful God we have! LET'S SING PRAISES TO JEHOVAH!!

  LET'S HAVE FAITH IN OUR WONDERFUL GOD, But let's see, what LEVEL of faith should we have in this WONDEROUS THING?
