  Intelligent design redux

  by ackack in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  in a thread about id, it got a little bit off-track discussing id theories.. essentially, i'm sure there are those here you are proponents of id, and perhaps, you could lets us in on what is considered proof for and intelligent designer.

  i think i've heard a few of the lines of evidence id proponents use, but i'm always open to hearing other lines, or even if someone feels they have a genuinely test that could demonstrate (or not) the plausibility of id.. ackack.

  Removal of YHWH from Old Testament

  by ackack in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  part of the jw's argument for the inclusion in the jehovah is that there was a custom to remove it from the old testament.

  is that true?

  am i even getting the argument right?

  Two questions

  by ackack in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  what is the psychological difference between "blind faith" and "wait on jehovah"?.

  if the revelation book need 4 pages of corrections, how many pages of corrections would the typical rutherford era book need?

  more than the book itself?.

  Did Russell ask that no publications be written after he died?

  by ackack in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  there is a debate brewing on wikipedia over whether russell's will stated that no new publications be made by the watchtower society, and if rutherford violated his will.. the relevant portion from his will reads:as the society has already pledged to me that it will publish no other periodicals, it shall also be required that the editorial committee shall write for or be connected with no other publications in any manner or degree.. .

  what's your opinion?.

  70 years and Zechariah

  by ackack in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the nail in the coffin of the society's understanding of the seventy years appears to be zech 1:12 and 7:1. both of these verses refer to the 70 years as ongoing rather than past events.

  i'm not sure how anyone can claim the society has a "holistic" view of the 70 years when they haven't even dealt with these two verses.. i should say they haven't dealt with them at all, there is one article for each of those verses, but, iirc, the argumentation was very weak.

  anyone happen to have those references off hand?.
