  Devouring the Forbidden Fruit - Higher Education

  by cappytan in

  2. friends

  well, i told my wife over the weekend i was going to go back school to finish my degree.

  she is 100% supportive of it!

  apparently she doesn't think higher education is so evil either.. since my former major was computer programming and that was in the late 1990's, i was told i'd have to retake a bunch of classes since times have changed.

  I hope you enjoy your studies.

  Nethanyahu speach to US Congress - not in sync with NRA position on weapons

  by RubaDub in

  i don't quite understand why mr. nethanyahu is so fearful if iran or other nations have nuclear weapons.

  as the nra espouses, the more people are armed and the more weapons on the street, then the safer we should feel.

  we all should have the right to protect ourselves.

  Israel has nuclear weapons but hasn't used them on Iran and isn't planning to. If Iran or an Arab country acquired nuclear weapons, would they use them on Israel?

  Lunatics in Gaza regularly firing rockets over the border might provide us with a clue ...

  Who is your favorite "Apostate"? Who helped you see the truth about "The Truth"?

  by minimus in

  i would have to say that ray franz was the biggest influence for me.. when i first got on this board, a poster by the name of james, a former bethelite and organization heavy, helped me understand a lot of the inner workings in the upper echelons of the society.. .

  and of course, farkel's common sense approach was (usually) helpful..

  My favourite 'apostate'? - definitely Paul Grundy of jwfacts.com. When I first saw his website, I clicked on it assuming it was pro-JW. I was in for a bit of a surprise! At first, I actually felt a bit of anger towards him, but I couldn't argue with the content because he used WTS publications as support. In the end, I agreed with most of what he said, only having one or two minor disagreements. Pauls seems to put his uni education to good use by good presentation of data and evaluation of different comments and viewpoints.

  After discovering jwfacts.com, I found freeminds and this site. Some of my other favourite people - snare & racket, cofty, blondie, outlaw, rubadub, simon, and others I can't quite remember right now.

  How many of you still believe in God or are still Christians?

  by JWCartPusher in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  hello, i asked a new but old friend how many people are still christians after leaving the watchtower's mind control agency, for statistical purposes do you mind if i do a survey and see how many of you are believers?.

  please don't post if your not a believer out of respect for this poll, we need to sharpen each other's sword and help build each other up and meet new friends over the internet with faith in god or some other force of the universe.

  i asked another person how we can still manage our faith after getting burned by the high group mind control, he had a few ideas but he's not really involved with god because of how life burned him.

  Good post, OUTLAW.

  I'm an agnostic. Despite there being no evidence for the existence of God, I feel we cannot know for sure either way.

  There's lots of evidence for evolution, but that only allows us to say that Genesis didn't happen, i.e. intelligent design is a nonsense.

  Does God exist? I don't know, and I don't think I care anymore.

  They are still lying, even though they revised the FAQ.

  by DATA-DOG in

  do jehovahs witnesses feel that they are the only people who will be saved?.

  many millions who lived in centuries past and who werent jehovahs witnesses will have an opportunity for salvation.

  the bible explains that in gods promised new world, there is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous.

  I agree with you, DD, they're being very deceptive in the FAQ section. It has a 'glossy' PR feel to it, as does the rest of their website.

  But I don't think they're out-and-out lying. I guess they're practicing theocratic warfare.

  The key question to put a WTS representative on the spot would be: 'do JWs believe that they will be the only ones to be saved at Armageddon?'

  Faithful JWs used to hate and fear the internet. Now, they still hate and fear it - apart from j.w.org, which they think is marvelous.

  2014 was the worst year ever for terrorism: u.s. intel chief (http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/wrost-year-global-terrorism-2014-article-1.2130490).

  terror attacks reached their highest number in 2014 since 45 years of its history.

  in the first nine months of 2014, there were 13,000 terror acts that killed some 31,000 people!

  This has to be a strong contender for worst OP on this forum.

  Using terrorist atrocities as evidence for evolution?!

  Most terrorist atrocities today are to do with religion, not evolution.

  Abiather, what do you actually know about evolution?
