how has it shaped the way modern man thinks?.

would we better off or worse, without a belief in that which is divine?.

Ok.. point taken.. but then...God isn't doing anything to help our problems at this time.. If he exists.. which clearly he doesn't,,(but that is just my viewpoint anyways)
The most help people get from him is praying and then they feel better because they talked to someone or some enitity up there that might help them and so it is a placebo effect.. I pray.. I feel better.. He might help.... and yes humans do take others lives.. that is why I said humanity messes up the planet...but I feel better taking actual physical action for something if I can rather than just praying to some unknown( if existing) at all entity .. who is doing nothing to help anyways...

But God does help us. He helps us all the time. Its just too bad many humans do not realize this. Angels under his orders make goods things happen to people without them ever realizing it. Most of the time people will just credit themselves.

Only if people could see the role God played freeing America from England and giving the Allies victory over the Axis powers in World War 2.

God confuses our enemies. He puts thoughts in to the minds of other to do good unto us. He helps us find the truth.Have you ever had great idea pop inside your head all of the sudden? It's likely God gave you that idea. He helps us with decision making. These are how blessings come about.

you can thank the watchtower society for this.. here is an email from my hosting company:.

unfortunately it appears your site/account was involved in violation of using copyrighted material involved with watch tower bible and tract society of pennsylvania.".

as a result of this abuse and activity, we will be unable to reinstate this account for any reason.. in addition, due to the nature of this abuse and the risk of transferring sensitive or illegal content if we were to provide you your files, we will be unable to provide with backups.. it is unfortunate that this has occurred, and we are aware that more than likely this was not your intent to host, however the fact remains it did exist and complaints were made.

Now I know for sure that the borg is not simply misguided, but they are intentional liars! If they spend enough time online to be suing people for copyright infringments, then they are also aware of websites that disprove their doctrines such as the literal interpretation of the 144,000.

there is no way that they are unaware of what they are teaching is wrong.

Apostasy or Immorality?

by jwfacts in

the watchtower used to say that most people got disfellowshipped for immorality.

do you think this is still the case?

it seems to me that i am hearing of as many people leaving over apostasy as over immorality, or am i just hanging out in the wrong circles?.

GodisRight

The local elders had questions about my 'moral standards' when I first expressed doubts that the WTBTS had been honest with the 'Christian Congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses'. When those tactics failed, the question of loyalty to the organization became a paramount issue with several of the more brainwashed and aggressive elders. One of the P.O.'s sons was announced as no longer being one of Jehovah's Witnesses a few months ago and the rumour mill went into high gear that he had been DF'd. I believe this was an attempt by the BOE to create the impression that he had engaged in immorality instead of his discovering that the Watchtower Society is an evil God dishonoring cult.

When I faded from the "trut" my bible teacher kept asking me if I doubts or did stop believing. It's like he knew that my reason for falling away was doctrinal. He never questioned my morality. Perhaps he is aware that others are falling away because of "apostasy" and not morality. Many Jehovah Witneses become members of another religion so immorality always can't be the answer.

Years ago there was no net..I'd have been goen 15 years earler if there had had been the net.

I believe the Internet will cause many JW's to rethink their faith in the WTS. The internet also reason I stopped trusting them. The sexual abuse stories does not help their image at all.

...........The world is splintered.. In fact ,, the world spins much better with out humanity.. the plant and animal life are in perfect cycles,,, humanity is the problem..We mess up everything!!!!! I have no belief in a God or a Devil.. and feel much more secure in my life than before ,,living in fear of a God who could threaten to destroy all at will...

Other humans can also take your life.

Evolutionist themselves believe that the human race will be come extinct or a huge astroid will destroy us, which ever comes first. Then there is the threat of nuclear war or terrorism.

Instead of living in fear of God, we should see him as a welcome relief from our worries in fading away into nn exsistence.

About anything can be traced back to anything earlier.
Stalinism throve on Russian Orthodox soil, Fascism on Italian/Spanish/Portuguese Catholic, Nazism on German Protestant/Catholic, etc. What do you think that "proves"?

It proves exactly what I was saying before. None of the parties you mentioned were Christians.

Hitler, Musso, and Stalin weren't Christians and the fact that they tried to establish harsh governments in contrary to Christanity only to goes to show my point how without christanity democracy would be non existent.

Godisright, Democracy is the only thing in your list that has a genuine historical basis and was a greek idea, it has nothing to do the christian religion or the bible or god. The others are an expansion of the basic idea of democracy but are modern concepts.
Some other posters seem to be suggesting that god provided human morality, but haven't provided evidence to back up their claims.
From an evolutionary point of view high levels of group co-operation (including morality) in advanced social animals is a positive trait and would be likely to prevail genetically. Of course that doesn't stop some other monkey from stealing your woman!

Every nation on earth where democray and freedom of speech exist is predominately christian. And other nations such as South Korea, Japan, and Taiwan owe their democracy due to christian western intervention.

Look at North Korea! Barbaric, no human rights or freedom speech. Poor people their are valued less than animals. You can go to jail for a crime committed by a relative. No trial or jury or anything. All these are done in predominatly athiest state. Less than 1% of people there are religious.

Belief in the God of Israel has made the world a better place to live. Democracy, equal rights, freedom of expression, and human rights groups all have roots that can be traced back to the christian greek scriptures.
