How to Avoid the Faithless Spirit of most here-

by DocHouse in

1- pray to god (whomever you may imagine him to be) asking for understanding.

2- study the background about the bible (from non-religious sources) to see where it came from.

3- discard (or at least set aside) chuyrch claims and dogma.. 4- read it, looking up archaeological/historical sources about the places and peoples referred to.

When it comes to religion- it's those that have REAL Faith (in the True God) or those with pretend faith (imaginary gods).

Otherwise, you are simply faithless.

How about your FIRST one?

Stucky, you have to give SOME kind of references to claims such as " How about the fact that the god of the bible is one of the most self centered, vicious, murderous, despot in all history".

Please, if capable, give a specific example.

DO JW's do a FAIR job of SAVING people--or--is the premise ridiculous?

by Terry in

figures don't lie...but liars figure!.

the message for those babies who are now in their 30's and 40's is that "we warned your parents about a date that meant nothing!".

how does that wash credibility-wise?.

DocHouse

So, ignore since you know better than to attempt answering?

No WONDER you're no longer a JW...

Man, you you two look goofy in those over-sized Judge's Robes....

Out of a little curiosity, do you think Churchianity does better?

Stuck- can you give one example at a time for me to consider; or would you prefer me to list one at a time of what has convinced ME?

How would you summarize the basic message of the Watchtower versus the Bible?

by Fernando in

for me personally:.

watchtower - don't sin, don't question, don't think, don't reason, don't leave, or god will kill you in hell the big a.. bible - all dysfunction aka the "bad news" has been legally defeated by the "good news".. (i believe we are therefore free to begin naturally and progressively transitioning from a primitive type-0 civilisation if and when we choose to and when consensus reaches critical mass.

we will become a more advanced type-1 civilisation in the next 100 years according to michio kaku in "physics of the future".).

DocHouse

Fink- you not only don't KNOW what the Good News of today is- but don't even believe the older news which Churchianity teaches.

5- Be honestly critical- meaning not only looking for things that may be false- but also those that may be TRUE, and, finally,

6- NEVER let your faith rest on men, church or even orginization- but ONLY on your growing understanding of God...for it WILL take place if you REALLY want to know!

As one of Jesus' brothers put it-

James 1: 5- If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you.
