  Jw's don't let their kids die because of blood...

  by freemindfade in

  another nauseating detail i remember from saturdays program.

  there is a video (one of so many) shaming young people for being afraid to admit they are jw's.

  one australian girl talks about how one of her teachers was saying jw's let their children die over the blood issue (fact) and she goes on to say how that is not true.

  The Bible is NOT Error-Free

  by FusionTheism in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  for many christians, the bible is viewed as the 100% error-free, perfect book straight from god, where every single word was carefully chosen by god for a reason.

  but, usually, when you have a discussion on the topic, these christians will end up saying that only the original copies written directly from the hands of the prophets and apostles were error-free, and all manuscript copies since then are subject to copyist mistakes and other errors.. since zero original copies are in existence, how do we know the originals were error-free?

  why should we think the originals should be error-free to begin with?

  It may be that If you google 'most acurate bible in the world' the nwt translation hits on the word "world" as well as bible translation thus giving it a higher search result

  i was told there was new light by a former jw.

  i wanted to verify if it was true.

  the new light claims the annointed class/144k is always male.

  This is incorrect. They have long referanced women as partoif the group, even first century christian women.

  Children of murdered Charleston minister have "already forgiven" their Mother's killer.

  i'm not judging these poor young people, if this is how they are coping with the trauma of losing their mum i can only wish them well.

  i have to admit though that my jaw dropped when i first saw this interview, i couldn't square their reaction with what i understand as 'normal' human grief.. is this religiously motivated form of forgiveness a positive thing?

  should i acknowledge this as something to be said in favour of religion?.

  Its what christians are expected to say. Its biologically impossible to forgive so soon. Nor should they. With his confesion and all the evidance he should be executed today. They should have first shot, if they so desire.

  This is what leadership looks like

  since the day pope francis told catholics to stop obsessing about abortion and gay marriage, and get to the business of helping the poor, i have been afraid for his life.. in one statement, he pierced 2 sacred cows of catholic and evangelical thought, and he has not stopped.. he has lectured the world on real evils, mentioning capitalism in particular as a system that has left billions in desperate poverty.. he has now said that global warming threatens the world, particularly the poor, and is calling on the world to change it's lifestyle to save the planet.. i can't remember ever, in my entire life, when someone in as powerful a position as the pope, actually speaks out loud and in public the actual truth of the world's environment and calling the world to action, without regard for the consequences.. hard line catholics don't like him; fox news hates him, one pundit telling him to leave science to the scientists (of course, fox news doesn't leave global warming to the scientists) and today this from greg gutfield, fox news:.

  "the most dangerous person on the planet is someone who is seeking strange new respect from their adversaries.

  and that is what the pope is doing, said gutfeld, implying that the recognition of the existence of man-made climate change is fundamentally at odds with catholicism.

  Funny you should ask heaven... Heres a quote from the same speech the OP is citing:

  "Since everything is interrelated, concern for the protection of nature is also incompatible with the justification of abortion," the encyclical says. "How can we genuinely teach the importance of concern for other vulnerable beings, however troublesome or inconvenient they may be, if we fail to protect a human embryo, even when its presence is uncomfortable and creates difficulties?"

  Why are people burning their city to the ground in Baltimore? How doe Looting and Mob Violence Help?

  by PokerPlayerPhil in

  it's hard enough for businesses to enter these areas the government once had to offer up tax breaks to service them.

  in watts, california it took decades for city residents to get a grocery store after the thugs burned their businesses to the ground.

  you can see the insanity taking place, when you allow mobs and fools to burn building down nothing good comes from it.

  ive had to make statements like this too many times.

  communities like this have had to endure tragedies like this too many times.

  once again, communities [were harmed] because someone who wanted to inflict harm had no problem getting their hands on a gun.. lets be clear: at some point, we as a country will have to reckon with the fact that this type of mass violence does not happen in other advanced countries.

  They didnt extensively. Most of the original 13 have climates inhospitable for good tea cultivation. The better climates are the southern states and around 1770 there was tea plantation established, but one tea plantition didnt lead to the revolutionary war.

  "The ridiculous number of guns that are around and the most dangerous, those poorly stored and secured, could be easily controlled.....
  

  Make people liable.

  If your weapon is used to kill someone then the family of that person can sue the legal owner of it. So that person will lose everything or else they need some hefty insurance. Insurance will be cheaper if you have adequate safeguards on someone taking your weapon but won't pay out if it was just left in your purse."

  i have no problem with that idea at all.
