  this planet is the most earth-like planet discovered to-date.

  it's at the right distance from its sun to allow for liquid water and life, and it has a year of 385 days - only 20 days longer than our own year!.

  I just saw that article too. I love these new discoveries, guess thousands of eldubs should be changing their talk outlines where they drone on for 15 minutes about how the earth is just right and that just an impossible coincidence.

  Oops, guess not @$$holes. go go gadget new light...

  Rejecting something due to unscriptural or pagan origins.....?

  by stuckinarut2 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  so witnesses reject many practices or holidays due to their "unscriptural or pagan" origins.. for example, birthday celebrations, mothers or father's day, christmas etc..... most people in the world will say "but the origin doesn't matter anymore, we follow this custom now because it's a joyful occasion that creates happy times and brings the family together".

  it is still firmly rejected.. so, if the wrong origin is so important, and should result in rejecting something, why isn't the same principle applied to the actual jehovah's witness faith itself!?.

  after all, the very foundation of the organisation was based on wrong understandings of the bible, far fetched teachings and doctrines, links to false religious backgrounds, pyramidology, false predictions, inaccurate beliefs etc...... using their reasoning, it doesn't matter how good something is now, if the origin was faulty to begin with?

  Just one thing to add along with this excellent observation, why is it also considered apostasy to research in depth the origins of this religion, not the anecdotal white washed version they give today?

  Resistance is NOT futile!

  by Bonsai in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  all i want from this life is to be able to wash windows at bethel.. my story.. when i was fresh out of high school and pioneering, i said those exact words to my friends and family.

  all i wanted to do was be at the core of the organization where it was the safest.

  i gleefully told people that i'd gladly spend the rest of my life washing windows, waiting tables, doing laundry or cleaning bathrooms.

  this would be a good one for jw apologist who scream and panic with anyone who feels the moral direction of the wt publishing company has gone astray.

  a comment at the bible highlights last night blew my mind, here is the article that was referenced.

  btw this account always bothered me, remember when it was in a drama?

  Because YHWH the desert god is a god of death.

  Human sacrifice pleases him just as much as Molech
