  All Christians Should Accept EVOLUTION

  by FusionTheism in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  it is time for christians to accept evolution, in my opinion.. there are many reasons why i think it is long overdue for all christians to finally accept what science says about evolution.

  below i will show these reasons.. .

  the bible tells people to pay attention to nature to see the glory of god (psalm 19; romans 1:19-20).

  Cofty, do you believe "reality", as it is known to man, remains the same throughout time?
  

  As for bashing it no longer matters to me so go right ahead! :)

  Cofty: Sorry Frank but reality cares not a whit about your opinion.

  Cofty, you know what I regret? I regret not coming to know you personally. You have a bald honesty mixed with a kindness about you. I do regret not knowing you personally.

  Perhaps some day. ;)

  "Reality" is what we want to make of it. "Reality" is here today and gone tomorrow.

  I do not believe evolution is the driving force responsible for all the beauty, majesty and genetic order around us.

  That is my opinion and am stating it for the record, without debate.

  Big Logical Problem for New JW Beliefs

  by FusionTheism in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  there is a huge logical problem for the newer jw doctrines and beliefs:.

  watchtower, august 1, 2010, page 22:.

  so although jehovah does not promise that every individual will receive exactly the same opportunity, he does make sure that an opportunity is held out to all honesthearted ones.

  Br. Splane's alice in wonderland world does not require that he make sense. He is not interested in truth so much as in keeping his place in the Organization. Something Jaracz thought was paramount. This is the only real desire of the GB because they are not 100% sure they are of the anointed.

  Is RIDICULE acceptable in online debating?

  by nicolaou in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  this topic was inspired by one of fhn's comments on the 'warzone' thread, so i'll just restate my post there .

  .. "i've been wondering for a while now if ridicule really is an unacceptable feature in debate - it certainly isn't a valid form of argumentation.

  the thing is, some individuals really do come out with the most laughable nonsense and parade it as a serious proposition that merits attention.

  And most here are not using ridicule as a weapon of intolerance either.

  
  

  I agree but that was not the point was it.

  " tell their their out of their "fucking gourds!

  Nicolaou: Watchtower uses the printed word to indoctrinate, coerce and flat out lie. Therefore, to avoid being like the Watchtower, we shouldn't write or read stuff.

  This would be true if we were trying to "indoctrinate, coerce and flat out lie" but I assume most here are not.

  Oubliette: As I quoted before, “Rudeness is the weak man's imitation of strength.” ― Edmund Burke

  And when that rudeness is within the thought mainstream it is tolerated even applauded. People are people.

  Ridicule is a Watchtower tactic and is evidence of their small mind and intolerance. Ridicule is what Anthony Morris uses as a weapon to disarm those he opposes.

  I have no desire to imitate Morris and his intolerance of the consciences of others.

  what do you think the reaction would be?

  i would say a small portion (single digit) would walk.

  no loss for the borg, they weren't donating anyway.

  If the Organization should tomorrow, June 12, 2015, make shunning a conscience matter they would lose approximately 60% of the publishers.

  The Organization must first prepare the way before they open the flood gates.
