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.

Strucky refused to give a specific example, and gave this flimsy spin instead: "As I stated doc,The god of the bible kills (or supposedly authorises to be killed) anyone he wants...and usually its the people who are just using the gift of free will that he supposedly gave them!Thats like saying to a child "here is a piece of candy...I gave it to you because I love you...but if you eat it , I will kill you"

Try defending that Doc...."

Glad to- if you gave an example of where He did this.

How many times do I have to ask for one; or you just another of the endless clowns here?

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...

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.
