  Did God create good and evil?

  by THE SHOOTIST in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  isaiah 45:7 says he did.

  gen. 3:16/17 says that he placed the tree of knowledge of good and bad in the middle of the garden.

  didn't god say in gen 3:22 that after man ate of the fruit he has become like us (the gods)knowing good and evil.

  Could we have good without evil and vice versa? Could we have a right holy god without an evil god? I don t know the answer, its a case for the philosophers to debate, but its sounds like the "ying-yang" way of belief and I think there is merit to the fact we must have an opposite to all things for that thing to exist ( this is basically speaking here, I know you can be shot down in this forum unless you know ALL the facts, and I dont.) So the way I see it please dont destroy Satan, god, we need him to balance the equation.

  ah theocratic warfare, how we love to hate you.

  the more literature i see left out pointed in my direction, underlined or highlighted of course, the less i want to consider their point of view.

  it just reinforces my decision to leave even more.

  A.D or C.E?

  by bother_forever in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  are jws the only group to refer to a.d in dates as c.e, also like wise for b.c.e instead of b.c, or is it another proof of their divine right ( because the rest of the world is ignorant, and under the influence of satan) to only know the correct way to state dates?

  Yes I have this gift also, and to blame it on many hours of the absolute bore called meetings. I took a test on a site called Tickle (google it, you can do IQ tests, subconcious, ink blots etc really good stuff.) and to my surprise I do actually have an imaginative mind, more so than the norm (apparently). So there you go there was a positive to it all. Start using that imagination, and make it work for you.

  this is a thought on why hong kong was given back to china (as reasoned by a staunch jw).

  cut from beliefnet.

  i remember a co gave a talk, that one of my sisters found very objectionable.

  Think Britain won Hong kong in a bet about some tea, the great tea war as it was known as.

  And I suppose there are only about 1 BILLION people that need a JW at their door, even if all 6-7 million (whatever the figure is these days) went in thats quite a territory to cover. Hello India?

  i just got back from the meeting minutes ago.

  we had an announcement at the kh this evening that there will be a special talk next service meeting entitled "obeissons au commandement divin de nous abstenir du sang"... which means "let us obey the divin commandment to abstain from blood"

  i asked the presiding overseer why the blood talk was being given so early, and not in line with the kingdom ministry schedule.

  This is one of the funnist posts I ve read for a while.

  What should you do? Perhaps it was best summed up by young Bob, who said: “Be
  
  very selective. Be careful of both the songs and the videos. Be ready to change
  
  the channel.”

  I wonder what "Young Bob" is up to these days?

If required underground splinter groups can still function to preach, even if the law forbids. Family to shun members who leave, no questioning of leadership tolerated. http://www.freeminds.org & http://www.ajwrb.org , http://www.brci.org , www.knocking.org . I hope you can see the "truth", and reveal a disgusting cult.
