  What the "Worldly" media has to say about the proposed Russian ban of JWs

  by NikL in

  interesting to read the reports from around the world.

  i doubt many jws have read any of them.. http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/russian-government-jehovahs-witnesses-extremist-group-lawsuit-supreme-court-a7634671.html.

  russian authorities threatened to close jehovah’s witnesses administrative centre last march, when they issued a formal warning to the congregation that the “religious association will be subject to liquidation” if it failed to eliminate within two months the violations identified by the government as “extremist”.

  The Russians under Vladimir Putin are persecuting most Protestants. They bulldozed a Pentecostal church and banned house meetings for prayer groups.

  Even handed article but, though it mentions Armageddon, it doesn't say what it will do to those who ignore the cart witnessing.

  Mathematically Measuring Evolution.

  by towerwatchman in

  mathematically measuring evolution.. when judging relationships in terms of morphological characteristics we will always be bound by the subjective.

  morphologically one cannot exactly measure the distance between two organisms strictly in mathematical terms.

  using the standard method of taxonomy we cannot quantify the difference between a horse and a mouse, or know which is closer mouse to cat, or mouse to fish.

  I posted this before on another thread. I think it's appropriate here.
  

  Science and Earth History: The Evolution/Creation Controversy

  
  
  

  This book is comprehensive in its treatment of Creationism/Intelligent Design. 550 oversized, fine print pages covering every argument Creationists have brought up. Well worth the price.

  Atheism = self defeating.

  by towerwatchman in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  atheism = self defeating.

  first may we define our terms.

  the word atheism comes literally from the greek, alpha the negative and theos [for god], therefore “negative god” or there is no god.

  Cofty,

  But in defense of christianity they got over behaving like moral retards a while ago. Islam is like christianity was 500 years ago. It's like the slow kid in the class.
  

  Not that I'm saying this in defense of Islam but the religion is 1400 years old. Christendom was still burning its heretics alive after 1600 years of existence.

  Simon,
  

  Swords and bullets, military strength, is the only thing Islam understands or respects.

  The west beat Islam back and ultimately gave us the most liberal societies the world has ever enjoyed. We should not squander so willingly the hard fought gains that millions died for, all so some slick-haired grinning buffoon of a politician can virtue-signal.

  If by the West you're talking about the crusades they were fought by a Catholic theocracy in the dark ages. They were certainly not liberal and those liberal societies that came about did so after Christendom lost a lot of its power.

  I was disfellowshipped in absentia by the circuit overseer. Two elders came to my house to announce their decision.

  RED HERRING

  by biblexaminer in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  if you have the inclination, call the number and ask ..."is russia banning "reading the bible, singing and praying with fellow worshippers"??.

  can you say red herring?.

  maybe they should add "feeding your children is clearly not criminal, neither is helping an old woman cross the street".

  Bibleexaminer,
  

  Not one "church" is being affected ... 0% churches.

  Actually, all protestant churches are being affected. A Pentecostal church was bulldozed in Russia and prayer meetings in private residences have been banned. It's the Russian Orthodox church that is being coddled.

  I can't believe that 3 posters down voted Blondie's comment on Muslim's contributing money to terrorist victims. Shame on you.
