  Quotes about patriotism

  by Seeker in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  since the subject of nationalism is so hot and heavy around here, i thought i would present some quotes on the subject that also express my mind:.

  heroism on command, senseless violence, and all the loathsome nonsense that goes by the name of patriotism - how passionately i hate them!

  ~albert einstein.

  The Cost of 'The Truth'

  by individual in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  just thinking ..... having read posts from youknow concerning the impending financial destruction of the system it strikes me that he and other witnesses have a very strong desire for the system to end even looking for ways in which it could happen.

  they will clutch at any straw, salivating at the prospect of their imagined reward.. at the meetings last year at the time of the petrol crisis in the uk witnesses were eager to discuss the possibility that this was the start of the tribulation, there was a real buzz of excitement that this could be it!

  now ... the question is this, does the 'truth' cost you your humanity because not one of them gave a stuff for their neighbours, worldly friends, relatives or even any of the people in the street.

  the wise man j. f. rutherford wrote about the "cause of the flood" in his 1927 book creation (pp.

  here he informed us of "jehovah's" view of the scientific "annular flood theory" of one isaac newton vail, which the watchtower society had been promoting for decades:.

  annular means that which has the form of a ring, or ring-shaped.

  Science vs. Spirituality?

  by Sunchild in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i originally posed this question to jh in another thread, and now i'm wondering how other atheists -- especially the hardcore ones -- here would answer it.

  this isn't about proving or disproving any particular viewpoint, but just an attempt to understand a mindset that seems... well... beyond my understanding.

  <g> first, though, here are a couple of terms defined as used in the context of my inquiry.. science: the objective study of the natural world.. spirituality: an intangible aspect of nature/the universe (including humanity) that may or may not include belief in any deity, but which is merely a general sense that something more is out there, and also within us.

  Jehovah Creates Apostates

  by metatron in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  according to the bible, jehovah himself "raised up" resisters.

  of the corrupt rulership of the elderly king, solomon.. --- you can read about it at 1kings 11:14,23-39.. the term apostasy comes from "to stand away from, rebellion",.

  so "resister" can easily act as a synonym for apostate, here.. also, jehovah created dis-unity among israel by deliberately.
