Proof of God
by MrDantastic ini'm an atheist as i do not see any evidence for the existance of a god.
i encourage critical thinking in everyone and am ready to debate anyone on whether or not there is a god and what that god might be like.

There are different kinds of agnosticism. Some agnostics think that the question of whether there is a God is unknowable. Other agnostics think that it is possible the question may be settled but that they do not have sufficient basis on which to settle the issue at present. I find myself agreeing with the latter outlook.
These two broad strands of agnosticism do not exhaust the different ways the term has been used and applied.

Dutch House of Representatives formally requests the government to start an investigation re. JW child abuse
by Anders Andersen intoday the dutch house of representatives unanimously voted to petition the government to start an investigation into jw child abuse issues.. the request from the house of reps. came after jw nl refused to listen to repeated and serious requests from the government to start an independent investigation themselves.. now it's up to the government to either accept the request by the house of reps. and start an investigation, or refuse to do so and explain to the house why.
it appears the minister of justice is not unwilling to start an investigation though.... collection of dutch news items here.

Jws said “no” and the reason is because the actual cases (not mere allegations) of child abuse are too low to justify one. [an enquiry]
Is that what they said? How many cases is too few, and who made this judgement?

Pretty good evidence on this video:
Robinson links Grenfell tower tragedy to immigration. Claims building was overcrowded and that authorities have lied and covered up how many people were in the building. Says that survivors are getting too much compensation and don’t deserve to live in large houses.
What more do you want, him to put on a white hat and flaming crucifix?

Fred Franz Former Training in Ancient Greek
by Wild_Thing inhas anyone been able to verify that fred franz received the minimal training in ancient greek that he claimed gave him the expertise to translate the bible?
you would think that would be fairly easy to verify or disprove in this day and age.
what college did he attend?

Franz was asked to translate English into Hebrew, Genesis 2:4 to be specific.
Can you give some examples of poor grammar in the NWT. I don’t disagree but I’m interested in specific examples.

It’s not evidence of a qualification, it’s evidence he could read Hebrew.
He was asked in court to translate a verse from English into Hebrew and he refused.

Raymond Franz says (I think in ISofCF) that he observed his uncle reading Hebrew manuscripts for hours on end at the museum. He could have been faking, but it seems unlikely.

Do you still want to be identified as a Christian?
by eyeuse2badub inmost americans want some form of religious identity - even atheists are creating churches.
by j. warner wallace | fox news.
the number of self-proclaimed christians is shrinking in america.. i’ve been collecting data on this trend for over 10 years, and the surveys reveal an important truth: fewer people claim a christian affiliation than ever before, and those who claim no religious affiliation are the fastest growing group in america.. but while fewer people may belong to christian churches or communities, americans will likely retain some form of religious identity – especially if what’s happening in europe is an indicator of things to come.. a new pew forum survey conducted in western europe reveals that christianity is waning there even faster than it is in the united states.

I guess I could pass for a panpsychist Unitarian Universalist Christian with Jehovah’s Witness, poststructuralist and deconstructive tendencies, throw in pacifist and sovereigntist leanings, sometimes misunderstood, I guess, I try my best.

The Forgery of an Antique God
by TerryWalstrom inin the world of antiquities, especially that of bronze art, specifically heads, would you be surprised or alarmed to discover that experts estimate about half of all the art sold at auction and donated to museums around the world.... consists of forgeries?while you're digesting the news of corrupt practice, let me raise a rather vexatious collateral issue for your consideration:.
auction houses keep silent about this fraud.in fact, it has been asserted by investigators specializing in such fraud, it is largely the auction houses submitting these works at auction under fake identities so they cannot be directly held liable for illicit transactions.
proving they've knowingly done so is too problematic to pass muster.one expert who exposed such a fraud was sued by the auction house and forced toward financial settlement out of court under the libel laws.now why mention all the above in the first place?for one reason only, the same thing occurs in the religious transactions of jehovah's witnesses.the auction house (watchtower corporation) represents its salvific theology as authentic and transacts with potential converts so's they pay for such art (ful fraud) by giving their lives, honor, and sacred service in exchange.when flaws are found, instead of owning up to the illicit enterprise, they seek legal redress or prosecute the accuser through coercive threats of disfellowship.now here is another insidious parallel.

You know, the technology singularitarian types, Venus project and so on.
Russell was a man of vision. Have you ever watched the photodrama of creation in full? It is truly remarkable. Russell accepted evolution. It was Darwinism he was against. No talking snake etc.
