  Some Scholars "feel" that...

  i am tired of jws using spin words to make it sound like scientist and scholars are not sure about what they are talking about whenever the wtbs doesn't agree with what they are saying.

  they'll say stuff like the bible is true but some scientists feel evolution is.... do you know any good examples of these twisting of words?.

  Why I became agnostic after leaving the Watchtower

  by donny in

  one of many things that led me to agnosticism after leaving the jw's was the cognitive dissonance i encountered with those in the mainstream churches, especially the really conservative ones.

  these types would scream out in protest (rightly so) on all of the current atrocities going on in the world regarding islam and its radical extremists, but then justify the savage murders and slaughter perpetuated by israel in the old testament.. often i would take these passages and replace the names and places of these scriptures with current ones.

  for example 1 samuel 15:3 reads "now go, attack the amalekites and totally destroy all that belongs to them.

  Flogging the Vat 4956 horse

  i'm just curious about something & wonder if the experts could help.. basically i am documenting all of the main lines of evidence for the jws being the one & then investigating each claim systematically.. i have now reached the dreaded november 1st, 2011 watchtower & am sitting in front of a copy of cartes du ciel and a babylonian calendar converter i found at http://www.staff.science.uu.nl/~gent0113/babylon/babycal_converter.htm.

  i realise these claims have been challenged and documented in depth elsewhere, but i'm keen to do my own research rather than copy & paste.

  my question is regarding date conversion - when inputting the gregorian dates as given at the bottom of the tablet's translation i found at http://www.caeno.org/pdf/f019_translation.pdf then the lunar positions all seemed pretty close (visually, i wasn't dealing with exact degrees here).

  NAILING DOWN the fraud of John 1:1 by demonstration

  call me crazy, but i love to watch seminary classes when sharp teachers are in charge of the instruction.. in the following video, the teacher really nails jehovah's witnesses on john 1:1 with utter simplicity.. begin at 1 hour and 20 minutes in.. i've never seen or heard of this before.. .

  Your explanation for a total contradiction in the New World Translation.

  by Johnny Brown in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  10 years ago

  "for if you publicly declare with your mouth that jesus is lord,+ and exercise faith in your heart that god raised him up from the dead, you will be saved.

  10 for with the heart one exercises faith for righteousness, but with the mouth one makes public declaration+ for salvation.

  11 for the scripture says: no one who rests his faith on him will be disappointed.+

  Theists, why does God allow suffering..

  by The Quiet One in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  13 years ago

  ..specifically, the suffering of animals.

  you can talk about free will/sin/people choosing to not listen to god etc to explain human suffering being allowed.. but how can you love a god that allows animals, that haven't sinned or chosen to not have anything to do with god, to have their short lives ended in often long, drawn out, painful ways.

  i could list stories i've read that would probably make you feel ill, but i'm not looking to shock anyone or start an emotional debate.
