  Why are the evolutionist's so upset?

  by Esse quam videri in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  so many evolutionist's on this forum are upset at the terror attacks in europe such as recently in sweden.

  it is just a logical step in the evolution of the human race.

  should you not rather be celebrating the great changes taking place right before your eyes and constructing detailed explanations of the cell structure and dna development in the human brain.. you can't eat your cake and still have it.

  Proof they are not a cult??

  the following is from a facebook post and..maybe i am missing something, but none of these items disprove them being in a cult.

  jehovah's witnesses are often mistaken to be something else.

  some say it a secret cult while others believe something else.......i'm very proud to tell you my readers that i'm one of jehovah's witnesses.. below are 17 facts that shows jehovah's witness is not a cult..... 1. there are currently about 8 million jehovah's witnesses around the world.. 2. an average of over 800 people become jehovah's witnesses daily.. 3. we keep coming to your doors even though we have regular jobs and family like you because we are admonished to do so by jesus christ.. 4. we do not participate in wars and for this reason more than 1600 jehovah's witnesses were killed by hitler.. 5. there are currently over 300 jehovah's witnesses in prison in south korea and egypt because they refused to stop preaching or enlist in the military.. 6. we don't salute the flag or say national anthems because we pledge our allegiance only to god.. 7. yes we have fun and party too so don't get that twisted.. 8. not many of us know the name of the president of our headquarters because we do not pay any reference to him he is a fellow servant of god just like the rest of us are.. 9. you earn the privilege of becoming a jehovah's witness.

  12. Every year, more people read our monthly magazines than any other magazines in the World.12. Every year, more people read our monthly magazines than any other magazines in the World.
  

  They produce a huge number of magazines which are mostly trashed. But since they seem to know what the numbers are please tell us:

  Which magazines came into second and third place to the Watchtower? Also, what are the numbers of magazines produced by the three above mentioned?

  If they don't know the answer to that then how are they aware of which magazine is most read? What's more, how does the number of magazines they produce keep them from being a cult?

  11. 1 out every 455 Nigerian is a Jehovah's Witness and 1 out of every 262 American is a Jehovah's Witness.
  

  And what's the point of that?
  

  8. Not many of us know the name of the President of our headquarters because we do not pay any reference to him He is a fellow servant of God just like the rest of us are.
  

  Whether a "cult" member may usually know the name of his leader it is not impossible for the leaders to be anonymous irrespective of the fact they are a cult.

  I any case, many of them do know the names of the Governing Body's members. A long line of Witnesses usually forms to get an autograph whenever they speak at an assembly.

  Most other points are trivial and does not prove anything special about the Witnesses.

  1928 mansion built for Christ's return sells for $6.2 million

  the home was built in 1928 by a group known as the outer court of the order of the living christ, which operated under the belief that when jesus eventually makes his glorious return to earth, he will want to live in a palatial setting in… the bronx.

  interestingly, beth-sarim was built in 1929 by a group known as the watch tower society, which operated under the belief that the holy ones when resurrected will want to live in a palatial setting in... san diego.. https://therealdeal.com/2017/04/06/divine-intervention-bronx-mansion-built-for-christs-return-finally-sells-for-6-2m/.

  compare with beth-sarim below.. .

  Freemindfade,
  

  Sort of blows this leftists nonsense conspiracy theory away though.

  Not really. Putin was able to manipulate Trump for his purposes but now he's found that he will react quickly against his interests if he so wishes. I think Trump did not even think of Putin at all before he made his decision; he's definitely not a strategic thinker.

  ILoveTTATT2,

  So Trump does the same thing Hillary would have done...

  Where are all the Hillary haters now?
  

  I doubt Hillary would have done that due to the presence of Russians in Syria. She might have the temperament for it (Putin considered her as a woman with balls.) but she has the political savvy to do something different.

  OUTLAW,

  [He did something right] Well that`s a friggin surprise!..
  

  Not that I'm in disagreement over the moral righteousness of striking Assad - I agree with that - but he did it in a stupid way that will only make things worse. He has no strategic thinking.

  Zeb,
  

  could anyone tell me what the whole stinking war is about? Is it the usual thing...oil?
  

  It's regional instability due to factional infighting amongst different religious and ethnic factions. Each group wants independence from the central government or more representation in the established government. They've basically have been treated like sh!t by their government before the civil war. Same thing in Iraq where Sunnis have been fighting the Shiites allowing ISIS to sweep into their country. Yemen, with about six different factions fighting for independence, is another example.

  Those nations in the Middle East are artificial contrivances due to the borders not representing the different nationalities and ethnic groups within them. The only solution is to go in there by force and create independent, sovereign nations whose citizens won't be fighting and persecuting each other.

  I miss Larsinger. He had more personality than the OP.

  There was also this poster, whose name I forget, who would predict a half dozen dates for Armageddon. Each one he tagged with a percentage possibility of its happening. One date could have a 20% chance of being Armageddon and this other date... so on and so forth. That poster had more imagination than the whole Governing Body.
