Does anybody know:
Is it true that today's mobile phones have more processing power than all the computers used that first sent man to the Moon?

How about spraying the fan with WD-40. I'd find out first if this lubricant should be used anywhere near delicate electronics.

I'm going to get out
by Sacchiel inhey everyone, i've been examining my faith and found it doesn't stand up to biblical theology.
its going to be hard since a lot family and friends will very likely repudiate me.
i have taken some steps to introduce topics to my family that will get them to analyze the wt teachings.

What's missing from this forum is ....
by Spectrum in... enough jws and non ex-jws to have a two sided debate that can give more depth than the current one sided debates that are typical of almost every thread apart from creation/evolution threads.
these manage to polarise us in informative albeit heated debates.
an argument should have a counter argument so that as much ground is covered as possible on both sides of the debate.

These manage to polarise us in informative albeit heated debates. An argument should have a counter argument so that as much ground is covered as possible on both sides of the debate. A counter argument can elicit a quality response that would never have been thought of by the opposing side had they never been stimulated to by an opposing view.
I think that our threads are intellectually limited and not exhaustive enough. We are therefore at some danger of conning ourselves due to the lack of scrutiny. -

Witnesses cannot refute the real "TRUTH"
by integ inno matter what any pompass ass witness says about the religion being the "truth", they cannot refute the simple fact that nothing they have ever predicted has come true.
that's a pretty poor record for gods' chosen people.
oh sure they can point to lame obvious things such as " critical times getting harder to deal with" (even that is debatable), but no hard facts to point to that show they are right, or have ever been.

Did they not predict that either the Soviet Union or the USA would fall by likening one to the king of the north?
I left long before the Soviet Union disintegrated, when it happened I thought, that's it I'm toast, I gambled and lost. -

The Devil couldn't have done a better job, assuming God inspired the Bible
by Spectrum inif you were a mean spirited, nasty supernatural being that wanted to reek havok on human civilisation how would you go about doing it?
inspire people to write several versions of a book, call it holy, then get people to slavishly follow the version that they prefer and die for it when they come in contact with a different version.
could a kind, all powerful, gracious god have ever inspired such a book.

" So are you passing judgement on the direction the bible has given or what mankind has done with that direction."
I think you are missing my point. I'll try again:
God supposedly gave us a written guide. This guide, given man's nature, is open to all sorts of interpretations as exhibited by 1000 christian denominations and a billion muslims. Man's nature is to destroy a wolf it comes in contact with that is from another wolf pack, we are not that different from animals. God supposedly knows man's nature but for reason's only known to himself proceeded to go down this path of "enlightenment" that would lead to carnage and given man's nature this outcome is highly predictable. This book cannot therefore be from God. -

Adonais,
What direction has the bible given mankind, that say, Buddha didn't? Isn't Buddhism more peaceful than the abrahamic religions.
If it is about salvation then I think you are going to wait for a long time. I God that supposedly allows his son to be tortured when all he had to do was die isn't a god I would like to follow. -
