John Kerry brands ISIS as Apostates.
by nicolaou inspeaking in rome two days ago kerry said;.
“daesh is in fact nothing more than a mixture of killers, of kidnappers, of criminals, of thugs, of adventurers, of smugglers and thieves,” he declared using the arabic acronym for the isis group.. “and they are also above all apostates, people who have hijacked a great religion and lie about its real meaning and lie about its purpose and deceive people in order to fight for their purposes.”.
source.. it seems like religious folk, irrespective of denomination, can only ever conceive of apostasy as a negative thing.

Like Phizzy I think John Kerry is simply trying to rile them up. That could be seen by his using the term Daesh which Isis detests. -

Finding the value of God; Isn't it better to believe in a deity?
by Caupon inthe question as to what believing in this entity called god entails is a fairly important question that needs to be answered first.
to me, the key difference between a universe in which god exists versus one where god doesn't lies in the idea of teleology.
in my view, a universe with god entails some sort of process towards an end, an end which can be characterized with words such as bliss and unity and others.

Perhaps I ought to start contemplating the idea of God as a chaotic magician.
That is close to the Deist concept that god created the universe and left it to work it's way up. You might conceive of 'god' as a cosmic scientist living in a multiverse who's inventing universes just for the heck of it to see what happens.

It's Too Late to Return to Jehovah!
by naazira inyes friends it is too late for most of you to return to jehovah's org.
based on the new garlic bread parable in this month's broadcast with the illustration using loaves of bread.
it is obvious that the doors of the arc has been closed shut by jehovah's hand for some of us.. according to the new parable that can be found on jw tv.

Evolution is a Fact #16 - Aquatic Mammals
by cofty inhaving spent at least 20 million years acquiring the machinery to survive on dry land and hundreds of millions more diversifying and exploiting every conceivable niche, a number of landlubbers made their way back to the sea.. among these were pond snails, water spiders, water beetles, crocodiles, otters, sea snakes, water shrews, galapagos flightless cormorants, marine iguanas, penguins and turtles.
of course the most impressive example of all are the whales and their little cousins the dolphins.
these have gone all the way back to an aquatic existence as have dugongs and their close cousins the manatees jointly known as the sirenians, they don’t even come ashore to breed.

The pyramids and rutherford.......
by atomant inlve been researching the early days of the jw"s and found some very damning information which needs to be discussed at length.according to my research it is claimed that early founders used the pyramids to work out important biblical dates that are now dates set in stone according to the beliefs of the sect and can not be changed as it would rock the very foundation upon which their beliefs are built.l was hoping for somone with a precise understanding to please elaborate whether this is true or not.

It appears that the only date that the Watchtower cannot change is 1914. It is at the center of their fraudulent claim that they are a 'prophet' who are able to predict world events (Like WWI).
As far as to how they came up with 1914 - it was supposed to be the beginning of the Millennium - it was biblical chronology that was the key line of 'evidence' with the pyramids merely serving to corroborate it. The pyramids were considered important but not the primary argument.
As far as Joseph Rutherford is concerned he jettisoned the whole pyramid nonsense and even said it was of the devil.
