  Even if a God did exist, there are no absolutes

  by logansrun in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  there is no objective standard for right and wrong even if a god did exist.

  god's morality is nothing more than an opinion backed up by absolute power.

  might does not make right.

  In search of Truth - all my life

  by Plain and simple in

  1. forum
  2. suggestions

  i haven't been a christian, nor a jehovah's witness - i was never convinced of one or the other - because neither added up to what i perceived as "reality" - nor did i see confirmation that they 'were' the one truth/etc in real life.

  (i have a brother and brother-in-law who are jehovah's witness, so i know their view all too well, and their inconsistancies, which they choose to ignore) - the more i have learned of jw - the more i have come to hate them even more.

  my brother has a mental disability - similarly with my brother-in-law, he has another type of mental illness.

  Why didn't Abraham suspect it was Satan telling him to kill Isaac?

  by True North in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  haven't we all heard of those who've killed others -- even their own children -- after (they claimed) hearing a voice telling them to do so?

  most people would consider these ones to have been insane if they really thought they'd heard such things.

  on the other hand, some jws, i would suspect, would think that these murderers may actually have heard demonic voices.

  Why weren't (aren't) we appalled that God required a human sacrifice?

  by True North in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  apologists for the genocidal behavior written of in the old testament have often stated that its victims simply got what they deserved, and that they deserved it in part because their unclean religious practices included human sacrifice, even the sacrifice of their own children.

  christians have long prided themselves in comparison to many pagan religions in that christian religious practice has never included human sacrifice and that christian principles would make one abhor such practices.

  so why did we (do we) so readily accept the concept that the christian god would require a human sacrifice -- of his own son, yet -- before he would allow himself to be propitiated?

  Revoke Your JW Baptism Vows on this thread!

  by Sirona in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  many of us here were baptised into the jw organisation.

  shotguns shootout thread (part 5) touches on the fact that since 1985 the vows included a dedication to "jehovahs organisation".. have you publicly revoked this?.

  why not use this opportunity to revoke your vows to the watchtower organisation?

  A time paradox with the Faithful and Discreet Slave

  by gods vigilante in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  continuing in my endeavor to find the truth i found something quite interesting about the "faithful and discreet slave".

  according to the society they say that the faithful and discreet slave mentioned in matt.

  24 : 45 refers to the anointed ones who have been appointed by their master over his belongings.
