Oh crap,....reading What does the Bible Really Teach? can't stomach it

by *jeremiah* in

so my mom gave my sister in law the "what does the bible really teach?

" filth and i'm trying to read it.

my sil (never a jw) wants me to help her in some kind of reply to my mom.

Jeremiah,

This book made me want to the first 3 paragraphs. and my MIL wanted me to study itas if I forgot the JW doctrine.

I would get your SIL to hand it back to your mother and tell her that this book was written for 3rd graders, and is an insult to the average intelligent person. Persons with above intelligence would not even bother reading past the first page because of how ridiculously it is written.

If I was your SIL, I would hand it back, and ask my mother in law to either find something else that is written for intelligent adults, or to not give me literature again.

Your other suggestions were great also!

just my two cents!

good luck!

Isaiah 45:7 (Young's Literal Translation)

Young's Literal Translation (YLT)

Hey look, another translation that uses ''God's name''.

Redemption of sin by Christ. OT support or made up?

by Spectrum in

does the ot support the christian doctrine that a heavenly messiah would come and redeem us of our sins, due to adams fall, hence the advent of jesus christ?

or was it a made up doctrine by the early followers of christ to give credence and purpose of existence to their faith?

if the latter is the case then it is understandable why the muslims believe that the christians are so wrong in belief in christ as a heavenly figure.

Testing a Hypothesis...

by XJW4EVR in

i am interested in getting solid and sound refutations from athiests, agnostics, and critically thinking christians on the following.. take a sheet of paper.

on that sheet draw a circle.

in the middle of the circle, place a dot.

found-my-way

Of course it's possible

Anything is possible

I haven't discounted that God exists, for I don't know.

I cant say for sure that he doesn't exist.

I am not closeminded,

if there is strong evidence presented for either a God, or No God, then I will base my beliefs on the facts presented.

Did God ever Exist?

by found-my-way in

reading so many posts on atheism which is the belief that there is no god, and reading comments from creationists made me ponder if there was an alternate reason for our existence.. if god is up there, why does he permit suffering?

if i were god, i wouldn't of let it happen in the first place, these are my children, why would i let them suffer?

maybe i am influenced by my creationist upbringing and beliefs while a jw, because i find it hard to wrap my brain around the idea that everything came from nothing.

Among these charges are lying, theft, and lust at someone other than her husband. She proclaims that she is not a liar. I propose a professional lie detector test. Clearly she should be interested in clearing her good name if innocent. Her husband will no doubt be interested as well. If successful she could be the first person in two thousand years to be proclaimed not a liar. Should she refuse to take the test, I will add the label COWARD to the growing list of character faults.
FMW, please keep in mind that you are the one who opened this up with your charges against God. If you are found guilty of any of these charges against you, then it will prove that you are completely incapable of judging God. How can a liar choose what's best for others?

Nice try Perry.

Did I hit a nerve with my bird comment? Awwww, poor baby...

I feel sorry for you.

You're more pathetic than I had orginally thought.... you have my pity.

Perry?

You dont even know me

Who pissed on your cornflakes this morning?

You go on and on about my sins, of which you know nothing about...you dont even know what gender I am....I could be a VIRGINAL SWEET OLD LADY for all you know.

as for your comments that attack me personally....wow, I'm speechless...I have never ever been told I was going to burn in hell for crimes I have not even commited...

I couldn't help but notice that you offered "no contest" to the "lying, lusts, greed and selfishness" charges that I levied against you in my opening paragraph. It is not an attack to simply shine light upon something. Do you like being that kind of person FMW? What if God was prepared to give you a GIFT out of the kindness of his heart that would give YOU the victory over your lusts, lying, and thievery? Would you accept it? Or, has your sin advanced past simple denial into full blown enjoyment of your crimes.... even as you judge and would like to punish others for the same?

I offered NO COMMENT because I didnt deem your accusations WORTHY of ONE. I wont even go into what kind of person I am, because that will only further incite more of your uncalledfor attacks. I am not a liar, nor a greedy person, nor am I selfish, I may lust from time to time the person that is my mate, but, I think that's ok....

explain to me this gift? I do NOT JUDGE OTHERS, and I do not want to punish anyoneYOU ARE DESCRIBING YOURSELF, NOT ME.

you're the one who wants me to burn in hell, you're the one who wants to punish me for the crimes that you think I have commited...and you dont even know a single thing about me as a person.

what does that say about you as a person, Perry?

Tell me, as you are so perfect, does anyone love you? can anyone stand to be even in your presence? or is your bird your only companion in this world, and do you find some measure of comfort in the feathery bossom of its bird breast?

I cannot fathom how someone can just spit out venom and fire completely unprovoked and unattacked.

Go on your way, Perry, You now have Proved to everyone here that you are indeed a wonderful specimen of the human race...how the masses aren't falling at your feet and worshipping your perfect personality is truly a mystery....

I am just a lowly ....
