  i read a poll today that said atheists numbered 26% in israel.

  russia and europe were about the same percentage, too.

  the united states had the fewest at only 1% who identified as atheists.

  Marijuana & Schizophrenia

  by ICBehindtheCurtain in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  hi guys, i was researching this because of something that's going on with a family member, and i found it quite interesting since some other family members who we have tried counseling on the use of this substance told us that marijuana is not addictive, that it's an innocent plant and is not harmful yadayadayada, yeah right!

  i intend to go over this with our kids and make sure they understand the documented dangers of this very popular drug.

  i just wanted to share it with you all.

  yesterday a.m. -a little knock at my front door, i answered to see a man at the end of my driveway who turned around saying "i just left an invite with your newspaper...have you read the front page news about the chopper crashes linked to drug scheme (more than 40 people arrested in major cross-border smuggling case)" i looked down at my newspaper and saw "deliverance at hand!

  " title of invitation...(cordially invited to attend) page tucked inside.

  Infallibility of Scripture

  by drew sagan in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  one of this biggest teachings present in mostly all christian denominations is the idea that the bible is infallibile.

  my question is, where does the bible say this?

  i know of many scriptures that point to the idea that what was written was directed by god, but where does the idea that what written is totally without error originate?

  MISQUOTING JESUS: a book I highly endorse

  by Terry in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  chapter one

  the beginnings of christian scripture

  to discuss the copies of the new testament that we have, we need to start at the very beginning with one of the unusual features of christianity in the greco-roman world: its bookish character.

  misquoting jesus

  by freefly in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i am looking for comment from anyone that has read "misquoting jesus", as was going to purchase it to read.

  would it be helpful to my understanding of the bible, which is so far extremely different from my partner's who is studying to be baptised jw?

  in the bestseller 'misquoting jesus,' agnostic author bart ehrman picks apart the gospels that made a disbeliever out of him

  The Watchtower's Unbalanced View of the Internet

  by VM44 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  in articles concerning the internet, some of which have been titled "a balanced view of the internet", the watchtower devotes the first paragraph or two to the benefits that the internet offers and has provided.

  .

  then for the rest of the article they go on and on about the dangers and evils of the internet.. they have been consistent in writing in this manner in all the articles they have written concerning the internet.. can the watchtower itself truly be said to have a "balanced" view of the internet?.

  1. social
  2. relationships

  hey,.

  my partner in life (26yrs) has been converted to jw by his mother.. i am not one to whine -as very aware many have more troubles in their life.. i suppose one of my fears has been this exactly- as i know he was raised jw and should have saw the "signs.

  " he always regularly visited with his mom, which i respected as felt a good sign he had a mother/son relationship.
