  what type of faith do you REALLY want?

  by atheist_R_stupid in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i find that when talking people who say they "used to be a jehovah's witness" they say words that show they have in fact, never been one.

  it's like a man that worked for the post office for 30 years in a main major urban hub like chicago or new york... and you ask him, "in your last position, what was your rdo?

  " and the man says "whats an rdo?".

  there are many things wrong with the world, many injustices and crimes committed.

  what if we could stop one of them?

  wouldn't it make the world a slightly better place?

  I thought that this thread had something to do with type/anti-type theory.

  JW's - lack of knowledge of their own beliefs

  by Illuminated in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  why are so many jehovah's witnesses unaware of their own beliefs.

  .

  i would imagine the repetitive meetings, studies and door to door knocking would firmly root them in their beliefs.. yet, i've observed they either back out of challenging questions at times, or share a link to jay w org.. .

  I remember back in the 1970s that some JWs did not have a full understanding of all doctrines (Particularly the rationale for the 1914 doctrine). However, they had a simple grasp of the basic doctrines like soul and hell and some would be able to do some basic proof texting, though for the most part they had to rely on a publication to provide them a biblical verse.

  I hear it's worse now but I figure that almost everything about the Watchtower has gotten worse.

  It's possible that the Watchtower, realizing this, might have come up with the idea of having their teachings easily available in Internet form in order to bypass the ignorance of their members.

  do you believe the marketing of jay w org will convert more people or help inactive ones remain indoctrinated?

  A pamphlet is all it took to hook me in at the age of 13. So I figure that some of the very young as well as naïve adults will respond.

  Unfortunate.

  Meaningful Study

  by Awake at last in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i never thought i would be commenting, let alone starting a new topic in the category of bible research and study.

  anyone reading my comments on this site would have realised that i am the most unspiritual person to have ever stepped foot inside a kh.

  yet for the first time in my life, on saturday night, i did some meaningful bible study/research, on my own without a wtbts publication in sight, except the nwt bible.

  I don't think I can remember a single Watchtower lesson from the hundreds I've 'studied'.

  How do flood apologists explain these?

  by marmot in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  spear points dating to thousands of years before the flood (or even adam's alleged creation, for that matter) found preserved in situ among mammoth bones in naco, arizona.. or the 14,000 year-old footprint of a child at a mammoth hunting camp unearthed in a bog in monte verde, chile:.

  the kicker is that this isn't even the oldest evidence for human settlement of the americas.

  since the wt loves to trot out frozen mammoth carcasses as "proof" that mammoths died in the flood, who were these mammoth eaters in north america?

  Perry, http://ncse.com/cej/3/2/answers-to-creationist-attacks-carbon-14-dating

  In the article above you will find the reason why mussels cannot be dated but other fossils can. The situation with mussels is very different than with other creatures.

  Try reading scientific answers to creationists (Mostly Young Earth Creationists at that).

  This is also an excellent book about scientific answers to creationists. Over 500 oversized pages of fine print dedicated to almost every creationist argument:

   Science and Earth History: The Evolution/Creation Controversy.

  LisaRose: "I would write a letter to everyone who lives near you parents saying that a child molester lives in the neighborhood and they should not let their children visit anyone unsupervised."

  That could bring on a police investigation and get her in trouble.
