The best argument that we have an immaterial part (called Spirit/Soul) came from Jesus Christ

by abiather in

the best argument that we have an immaterial part (called spirit/soul) came from jesus christ.

however, it is recorded in the gospel of thomas (not in the traditional four gospels).

jesus says: if the flesh came into existence because of the spirit, it is a marvel.

If the “scientific” Evolution Theory is true - maybe the word 'true' should be abandoned - 'correct' is better. Why have you put the word scientific in inverted commas? - evolution has lots of evidence, can be scientifically investigated, etc.

How many of us treat the Black as equal to the rest of the humanity? I do. Black people have the same rights and responsibilities as white people

On one side, we have virtually all Industries using woman’s nudity to market their products - what's so bad about this? Some women have attractive faces and bodies - so what?

an immaterial part that unfortunately can't be observed, measured or recorded.

Is Jehova's Trumpet for real?

by StarTrekAngel in

because regardless of having seen a lot of bad things, if true, some of the things i read there have reached new thresholds of bs.

who are these people?

i posted some comments there because i was sincerely confused as to the nature of their article.. http://jehovahstrumpet.com/brother-survives-nazi-persecution-disfellowshiped-for-smoking/.

Jehovah's Trumpet is a superb website. The satire, parody of WTS writing style and gentle mockery are brilliant.

Check out 'Dangers of Superstition' - very funny!

Being poor in China, what's it like?

by fulltimestudent in

these images are from chinese media.. .

like kids everywhere these children of migrant workers in dongguan (near shenzhen) like to play.

when farm workers leave their villages to work in the huge chinese construction/factory industries they are faced with a decision - leave their kids with relatives (usually grand-parents) in the village or take them with them, to face the uncertainties of city life.. this photograph was taken by zhan youbing, a 41 year old photographer, who for the past nine years has focused his camera on the lives of migrant workers.

I don't think it's nice being poor in any country.

Money's not everything, but it helps.

Are people really happy at Bethel?

by The Searcher in

if they are this happy, why do they keep taking down this video?

Good post, Phizzy.

I guess when JWs go to bethel they see the men behind the curtain.

Although I suppose there are some who are genuinely happy at bethel, I can't help thinking that this video masks a lot of unhappiness and disappointment.

Last nights meeting...

by DATA-DOG in

i know dubs are delusional.

i know dubs don't reason well.

i know dubs are a bit off, like many groups.

I think the kid in the video seems about 12 or 13. As other posters have said, it'll influence young children (8 to 10) to start working towards baptism (handing the rest of their lives over to a corporation).

It's good to remember that, according to the bible, Jesus got baptised at about 30 years old.

Well folks it looks like September 23, 2017 will be the new date of Armageddon, the Rapture or whatever.

by donny in

well folks you had better get your act together because there is only about 2.5 years before you are held responsible for your way of life.

according to "rapture watch", things are really going to start happening in 2017.. i am already asking the lord for leniency.

Mormon 'support' for gays, pressure on the WTS?

by Simon in

the mormon / lds church has noticably changed it's stance toward homosexuality and instead of condemning it seems to be supporting protection for people's rights (of course they want to throw some protection for themselves in there as well).. how will this affect the wts?

the lds is the more-successful counterpart to the wts, similar age and history and same non-mainstream appeal.. i have no doubt that the lds church is only changing because they know which way the wind is blowing and society has completely changes it's attitudes towards gay people.

maybe they just want to stay ahead pf the curve before federal legislation enforces people's rights.. now, can we see the wts changing their views" will they be one of the last holdouts?

LoveUniHateExams

I'm afraid I agree with Finkelstein and Smiddy - the WTS will possibly even point to the LDS and say that they're becoming 'worldly', aren't maintaining God's standards, etc.

I believe that in a tiny way, the WTS are perhaps softer on gay people than they were. Sort of 'hate the sin, love the sinner'.

The WTS can go strict or liberal on a range of issues, IMO, such as alcohol, dress, grooming, but they have always been strict on sexual matters. I can't see this changing.

Remember, there's a world out there that they must keep separate from

Display of National Flags in Kingdom Halls in Chile: WTS' Response

by BluesBrother in

remember this and other threads a few months back, on the subject that some kingdom halls in chile acquiesced to govt rules that every building should display the national flag on the day of celebration?.

http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/262505/kingdom-hall-chile-has-national-flag?size=20&page=1.

many of us here and around the net, calling on our dub experiences cried "never would that happen!

Good point, ToesUp.

It seems to be one rule for the WTS and another for the rank-and-file.

Science still doesn't have the answers on how life first appeared

by EndofMysteries in

since so many athiests in this thread, and since i'm going to college, i was curious if what i would learn in biology would change my thoughts and show that life clearly and easily spontaneously happened.

just looking up the origins of dna or rna there is nothing conclusive.

for example, scientists today are able to manipulate life.

Science still doesn't have the answers on how life first appeared - scientists admit this, and are working hard to try to solve this puzzle.
