  Thank you for redirecting me to the right organization!

  thank you, jw.net and cofty, for redirecting me to the right organization!.

  when i posted why did god permit scriptures to be corrupted?

  then i thought, if there is an organization that believes all scriptures are corrupted (which obviously makes it enemy of all religions), that organization is not ordinary, but gutsy, lionhearted, and worthy of close examination!

  if someone informs you that your shop caught fire, and firefighters are on the job, you will run to the spot.

  however, if you had already sold that property on the previous day (which this messenger is ignorant of), you are likely to respond, saying: shop is not mine..

  situation is same with god.

  Paranormal activity in a room at Ohio University

  why this room (no 428), located at ohio university, is unavailable to students?.

  it has been boarded up and closed off because of various paranormal reports regarding the room.

  poltergeist activity has been felt: objects flying across the room, doors that open and shut by themselves, and dark shadows appearing and disappearing without explanation.

  A rarest of rare inventions made—it is better to remain open-minded!

  it seems even the famous scientific laws such as the law of conservation of energy (and lenz's law, which forms the basis of mechanics and thermodynamics laws that suggests machines cannot attain over a 100% efficiency) are all not ultimate.

  someone has already succeeded in developing a space generator, a super high-efficiency machine that produces power from vacuum.

  the thing is going commercial now with a famous electric company purchasing its the patent.

  The Privileged Planet: How Our Place in the Cosmos is Designed for Discovery by Guillermo Gonzalez and Jay Richards

  someone raised this book/film to me recently as scientific argument for intelligent design.

  i have neither read it or seen it as a film (i hesitate to classify it as a documentary).

  having done a little research it seems to be at the least be viewed as controversial by the scientific community.

  What does God really convey through Jesus?

  by economy in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  bible shows that jesus was passionate about people receiving `life in all its fullness' in the here and now, he loved fiercely, challenged corruption and hypocrisy of religious authority, feasted with the marginalized, chastised the holier-than-thou types, healed the sick, fed the hungry, restored broken lives, taught through stories and offered a drastically new kingdom where the last would be first and those that served would be known as greatest..... so good a personality, and a supreme ideal indeed to be imitated..

  yet what was his finality?

  rejection by people (and even by his own disciples who witnessed all supernatural miraclesincluding his resurrecting the dead) and a cruel and torturous death..

  Memorial Invitation campaign—A bitter experience

  by economy in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  last year when i went to distribute memorial invitation, i had a bad time talking to a house-holder who happened to be an ex-nun.

  she said: you are wasting your time.

  jesus had no idea that his death would have a sin-atoning value (which is of course a later invention by later theologians.

  If the Jehovah's Witnesses were really the Faithful & Discrete Slave active today, they wouldn't be full of Bullshit

  by Finkelstein in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  if the watchtower corporation and the jehovah's witnesses were really the faithful & discrete slave active today, they wouldn't be full of bullshit .. this is a logical statement given the history of this religious institute / publishing house.

  i said it before and i'll say it again, that the majority of the doctrines created by the wts were intensionally focused toward enhancing the proliferation of the wts own publications.

  this has been a constant underlining agenda for the wts all throughout the last century, the end of the 19th century and still to this day.
