Probability of Earth and life being how it is
by ballistic in
1. jw

there are some things we don't know about existence and whether the earth is a simulation or even a creation.

but we can do some statistical analysis on it.. the probability of a planet like earth existing in the goldilocks zone and having a moon that perfectly eclipses the sun is extremely low, but it's not impossible.

the habitable zone (or goldilocks zone) around a star is the region where a planet could potentially support liquid water on its surface.

on a trip to rome a few years ago i asked my friend (who is roman and jw) what the catholic faith thinks of jw.

Why Witnesses get people to question there religion but they get disfellowshiped if they do it.
by Witness 007 in
1. watchtower
2. bible
yeah so we knock on doors and whatever religion we find we ask them to dismiss it and join us.

all other religions are a shame not real.

Blood decisions are now your problem: WT JULY 2025
by raymond frantz in
1. watchtower
2. bible
the following is from the latest study watchtower july 2025, study article 28, paragraph 17:.

each christian must make up his or her own mind about whether to accept or to reject these fractions.

we may find it a challenge to understand this matter fully, but making decisions like this is part of the load that each of us must carry.
