  jezus and time

  by DannyBloem in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  just some thinking about the sctiptues.. as we know god created jezus.

  that must mean that jezus has a beginning or is born.

  that must mean that time already existed.. time is a property of the universe.

  Races - where do they come from?

  by googlemagoogle in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  this one goes out to all the evolution maniacs out there, king james bible bumpers are also welcome to present their view.

  even when i still believed in the bible as god's word, i never understood how (at least) three races came from 2 persons.

  i sometimes thought, maybe adam was black and eve white, but where does the mongol race come from then?

  What were your reasons for not liking the ministry school?

  by LongHairGal in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i dropped out years ago because i couldn't stand getting together with sisters i didn't like to do a talk.

  i hated it with a passion!!

  i do realize that you did learn but what i resented was that the sisters were inflicted on each other in a way that i don't think the brothers were.

  Measuring the Immeasurable...Why?

  by upside/down in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  spirituality... is an "intangible".. the jw's are obsessed with measuring everything (like the pharisees).... time in the fs= spirituality.

  meeting attendance= spirituality.

  self sacrificing lifestyle= spirituality.

  KM School, Private "letters", Elders Mtgs, and your point is........?

  by upside/down in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i've never understood something... all the political elbowing for superiority and right to brow beat the flock and have a facade of respect due to and unearned, but rather siezed position and the wts can't fix it with all the "provisions from j"?.

  i've been to km school, read the "letters" from "mother" and sat through endlessly boring bickerfests meetings.

  all the old timers and the politically motivated and upwardly mobile kiss asses ms and elders are in such a tizzy to go to these so they can have "one up-manship" over the rest of the flock (apparently being "in the know" is very titilating).. i remember that most of the counsel from the wts seemed "good", especially that geared toward how ms and elders should conduct themselves and treat the flock.

  Our Species Is Evolveing Consciousness For Its Survival,,Our Minds Will Exp

  by frankiespeakin in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  our species is evolveing consciousness for its survival,,our minds will expand to greater understandings because our spiecies is driven by evolutionary forces to love it when we understand things.. this drive is more powerful than sex.

  and i really beleive our species will survive and we will use modern technology(also a product of evolution) to help us because that is what it is there for we made it and we will use it.

  we are driven to learn and i think we will even tame the ego, to keep learning more and more.

  Do you think of yourself as an apostate

  by barbar in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  many of the people on this site say that they are apostates.

  but that is not the way i feel about myself.. i am not angry with the "witnesses" or the organisation, i don't feel that i wasted my life.

  i just think that i was stupid to believe it for 30 years (well sort of believe it, i did have severe doubts on and off).

  "the moon is slowly receding for the earth at about 4 centimeters (1.5 inches) per year, and this rate would have been greater in the past.

  but even if the moon had started receding from being in contact with the earth, it would have taken only 1.37 billion years to reach its present distance from the earth.

  this gives a maximum age of the moon, not the actual age.
