we learn from the bible that god spoke to adam ,then certain faithful ones,then after moses only the preisthood that was established,and individuals, raised as prophets,and this by the way is only a a small select group on the planet.never mind about other groups of humans.

fastforward to the era of christ ,again, god is only dealing with a small select group to advise and admonish.during the time from moses to christ he was only dealing with what became one small nation.the rest of humankind were left to their own devices.fastforward down to this 21st century we have no guidance/instruction/prophets to instruct or guide us.

( i know this is where jw`s would say but we have been preaching & teaching you god`s truths since 1879 ) all i can say their, is take your head out of the sand and look at all the changes ,corrections adjustments,re-adjustments,reversals,and failed expectations of prophecy you have published over this last century )so as to my question why hasn`t the god of the universe revealed himself to all humans of every race on all continents instead of just a small select group, if he truly was interested in the human race.

I was kinda thinking about this on the drive to work this morning. A post from yesterday repeated the phrase "life-saving work" that JWs like to throw around as their god-given mandate for the door-to-door work. Ha. Why should you and I have to do god's life-saving work? Couldn't he come up with a better method?

AAG, thanks for sharing your story. Here's mine: I was born an atheist; got converted to the OT god early on; came back to my senses eventually.

Argument from complexity

by goddidit in

we know the universe has within it the capabilty for things to become more complex with direct divine intervention.

look at snowflakes.. as far as i can see, that fact alone invalidates the argument from complexity (isn't the eye complex?

evolution must be false).. can anyone suggest a good way to phrase this that might get into a dubs head?.

Ever wondered if Jehovah, the epitome of complexity, ever sits around and wonders, "Where the hell did I come from?"

House to House and Door to Door proves to be a shame diversion

by Terry in

english standard version(2001).

woe to you, scribes and pharisees, hypocrites!

for you travel across sea and land to make a single proselyte, and when he becomes a proselyte, you make him twice as much a child of hell as yourselves.. .

3.Preaching the "vindication of Jehovah's name" was THE purpose of their ministry until recently.

The "vindication" thing was big when I was associated years ago (and it didn't make much sense to me). So you're saying that has changed? What is it now?
