Well coz 1. Jesus told that he is truth 2. God has gave Jesus to all ppl 3. Ones who believe in Jesus are Christians! So Christians has Truth! Ones who didn't believed him, nailed this very truth to the cross! Problem with Truth is that you can't nail it to the cross forever... It rises again! Truth is not killable or destroyable, that's why it is the best bet... and thats why Christians place this bet on Jesus!

How do the Jehovah's Witnesses explain Isaiah 51:6?
by insearchoftruth inhow do the jehovah's witnesses explain isaiah 51:6 with respect to the paradise earth doctrine?
1 listen to me, you people who are pursuing after righteousness, you who are seeking to find jehovah.
look to the rock from which you were hewn out, and to the hollow of the pit from which you were dug out.

Caedes, that's why we have linguistics! Good stuff sometimes to find out what is and what is not symbolic and how much symbolic it is!

One very strong way how to get in JW is
You like some girl (actually want to have her... horizontally), but she is Nutty breed of JW so you "close your eyes" to some wiredness, go to weekly services, get access to this girl - horizontally - and soon realize, that it is pretty OK... and this "pretty OK" soon connects with what you hear in "weekly services" - and you get this anchor between "feel good when being horizontally" with "whatever is told in JW" and then when you are prepared and ready, you have ready axiom in your mind "To be JW is to feel good" (when horizontally) :) -

BLIND Cave Salamanders
by hamsterbait insalamanders whose eyes are not fully functioning use less food than those with fully functioning eyes, which burn more energy to produce retinal chemicals and electrical discharges.. it only makes sense then, that over the few thousand years since the noachian flood, that the salamanders stranded who inherited defective eyes (ie -that burned less food) would survive longer than those with good eyes that used energy anyway.. the non working eyes are an excellent example of the "vestigial organs" which the witchtower claims do not exist.. hb.

Most funny thing about this is that non-believers, atheists and other Darwinoids believe this is THE Evolution. If THIS is Evolution, then creacionists nor ID guys have any threat!
Now for those who are capable of critical thinking and analisis follows some things!
Darwinian evolution is pretty good at damaging allready functioning systems of organisms. But it is unable to create new - non existent functions there where they never been!
What I am reffering is this:
Originally Salamanders were with whole eyes and fully functional organisms. BUT we have random mutations in place, it is genetic noise which still functions in whole world and it is blind. So the noise can damage genes and it is not so rare event that the salamanders (and other organisms) sometimes give birth to defective children with damaged different organs. One or more genetic errors and you get lame small salamanders. In this set there is subset of blind salamanders! Everybody knows that sometimes organisms (animals and even humans) giv birth to children which ar blind due to defective genes which are responsible for sight systems! Now... if the salamanders live in normal sun-light places, the blind salamanders die out as they posses major disadvantage.
BUT... if some event happens and such salamanders are cought in closed dark environment, THEN blind salamanders and salamanders with fully functional eyes are evened. Ones which are able to see are not in advangage compard to ones which are blind. BUT ofcourse, to gene-copy DNS code which is responsible for sight takes more energy and more organism resurse then coping DNS which has defected eye-system codons. In this second case organism have not to care about correct DNS coping, and errors and "noise" on sight-system DNS does not effect survivability of blind salamanders.
And ofcourse in specific dark environment where eye-sight is not important, the organism with shorter DNS (original slamander minus eye-sight system) posses better chances to reproduce then able-to-see salamanders which STILL can produce blind salamanders due to Genetic Noise which still is present. So what you get is that defective salamander survives in defective narrow environment.
If you call this evolution, then I guess as I stated - ID is secure - cos seems like even Darwinoid scientists does not understand the process if they use this example as proof of evolution! -

Jesus vs. Horus
by Farkel injesus vs. horus.
jesus was the only begotten son of jehovah.
horus was the only begotten son of osiris.

And now as you are very well trained ex-JW go and read real story of Horus in some real serious Egyptian Mythology site :)
But we all know that atheists are not much different then JDubs as they believe what they want to believe and what backs up their stories, and if they are not in sync with Experts of the field... bad for Experts :)
Horus mother was not virgin.
Miracluous conception was - recreating Osiris from parts, adding hand-made fallus and...
Meri was not part of her name
Horus was born on November 15 last day of Khoiak
Horus was born in Swamp
There were no stars or wise men annuncements
etc. etc. etc. go check for yourself
And... find that there were several Horuses actually, one you are looking - son of Isis and Osiris -

What are the JW arguments of Matt 1:23 and Heb 1:8?
by A-Team inthe virgin will become pregnant and will give birth to a son, and they will call his name imman uel, which means, when translated, with us is god.
(matt 1:23, nwt) .
"...toward but the son, the throne of you, the god, into the age of the age..." (hebrews 1:8a, kit)

I am reading Ireneaus of Lyon "Versus Heresies"! Funny is that JW even try to reference him in their Trinity magazine, but I wander if any JW even have read Ireneaus! As he explicitly refutes heretics who believe that Christ was mere man and not God. He countless times prooves by scriptures, tradition and reason that Christ is both man and God... And that is end of 2nd century, that is 2 centuries to Nicea creed!

Major doctrines and practices based on a single scriptural verse?!
by Mickey mouse inthe more i think about this the more crazy it seems.
two issues in particular are "the light getting brighter" and "the faithful and discreet slave".
both are huge concepts for jw's, yet both are essentially based on a single verse in the bible which clearly has a different meaning when you read the context.. why did i never see this?!

Yes and more funny is that JW are not the only ones, but actually ones of most known to make doctrines from single verse! This is strange, that some very major items like adultery, idoltary etc God repeats and reapets numerous times in different contexts and situations, that this is sin. Meny important things in Christ teaching are repeated by him or by his apostles mey times. Some issues one author will repeat several times before Church takes it as doctrine... But here... one verse and you got doctrine.
How that works? No conctext, no attachment to current state of being, just simple verse?
Do ppl really believe that so important issues only one Author only in one place will nail down even as passing and communicating the doctrine was the very thing the authors wanted to accomplish, and nobody else seconds them, and even they themselves do not repeat the doctrine anywhere and do not pin down it as important!
Give me a break!
