  Zeitgeist - anyone for a discussion?

  by Shawn10538 in

  i am starting a sort of campaign to get this movie distributed and have as many people as possible get exposed to it.

  the documentary is in 3 parts.

  part one deals with the pagan mythological origins of bible myths, part 2 is about 9/11 and supports the theory that the towers were demolitioned and part 3 deals with the federal reserve agressive take over in the 1920s by international bankers.

  I think the Zeitgeist movie is meant to shock non-skeptics.
  
  
  Skeptics see through it.
  
  
  Here are skeptics discussing it:

  Explosive talk given by by Richard Dawkins, highly recommended

  i've just posted it on another thread but thought many other would see it if i dedicate a thread to it.

  it is brutally honest and sincere, something you don't hear often lately.

  definitely one of the best i've ever heard.

  "A Short History of Nearly Everything" by Bill Bryson is a good read. He explains the conditions required to create a fossil. Very rarely do animals that die become fossils.

  "The God of the Old Testament is arguably the most unpleasant character...

  ...in all fiction:jealous and proud of it; petty, unjust, unforgiving, control freak; a vindictive, bloodthirsty, ethnic cleanser; a misogynistic, homophobic, racist, infanticidal, genocidal, filicidal, pestilential, megalomaniacal, sadomasochistic, capriciously malevent bully.

  ", says richard dawkins in the god delusion p51.

  he goes on to say, "those of us schooled from infancy in his ways can become desensitized to their horror".. would you agree?.

  Dawg,

  I think patience is required here. For years, fighting communism was almost a religion for many in the free world. The game played itself out, and communism lost because it doesn't lead to a good quality of life.

  Not so long ago in human history, you could be burned alive for having the conversation that is being had in this thread.

  Things are better now. The "shifting moral zeitgeist" that Dawkins talks about is moving forward.

  That sounds facinating.

  How can we be sure Jehovah is using the WTS?

  by Doug Mason in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  on pages 638 and 639 of its october 15 1954 watchtower, the organization answered the following question:.

  how does jehovahs spirit help the faithful and discreet slave arrive at the truth of a matter?

  the society does not claim infallibility or inspiration.

  I believe there was a watchtower article where the FDS called themselves the "modern day prophets of God".

  Does anyone know where that claim was made?

  I remember having an argument about this with a friend (we were both JW's at the time), and my friend was saying that they

  never claimed to be prophets.

  Chalam,

  You asked: "If some believes and is on their way to get baptised and is killed do you think come judgement day Jesus will send them to Hell? "

  You make it sound as if you don't know the answer.

  Our discussion could result in a "religious argument".

  I think that is the original poster's point.

  Chalam,

  Don't forget, you also have to get baptised.
