  Movie review website Rotten Tomatoes caught deleting 54,000 fan reviews of Captain Marvel

  first, i haven't seen captain marvel.

  i'm not into superhero movies.

  low-budget horror made by passionate directors is more my thing.. if you saw the movie and enjoyed it - great.. and i'm sure some fan reviews are motivated by hate or they're just spamming or whatever.. but here's a thing: rotten tomatoes has been caught deleting more than 54,000 negative fan reviews of captain marvel ... all to increase the negative fan's review aggregate from 33% to 36%.. social engineering isn't just limited to the long-debunked 'gender wage gap' ... it's happening in entertainment.

  Evil, free will and the bible.

  by Anti-Christ in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  most christian and other deist will us the free will argument to explain the existence of god and evil.

  in this topic i would like to examine the flaws in this argument.. what is free will?

  it's the capacity of rational agents to choose a course of action from among various alternatives (that's one definition).

  Hidden history of the Watchtower religion

  the deeper you dig--the less impressive jw’s become!___________________you may think you know the men who are vitally important to the birth of the religion--but chances are good you’ve been kept in the dark.. _____________.

  did you know?the 1st case heard by the supreme court of the united states concerning the watchtower society involved a director (an officer) of the watchtower, william franklyn hudgings.. a brief description of hudgings and his character.hudgings was an attorney, quack doctor, self-identified ‘scientist’, a pro-zionist, and religious enthusiast who over the years held various director and officer positions in the watchtower society, and the affiliated people's pulpit association and international bible students association.

  at the time of this particular case, william hudgings acknowledged being the corporate secretary of the people's pulpit association and acknowledged that his daily duties included the administrative charge of printing of the watchtower magazine, the bible student's monthly, the kingdom news, and other watchtower publications.. (hudgings was also re-elected to the watchtower society board of directors in january 1919.

  These days it not really that hard being a witness.

  by I believe in overlapping in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  if you are a true believer, then you are toast.

  because you will be a slave to everything the watchtower, circuit overseers, elders, pioneers, imply.

  believe me, there are not many true believers anymore, and the majority of them are old.

  Overlapping is right. Being a JW today is very very easy compared to ten years ago.

  The Bizarre Free Will

  by John_Mann in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  two years before i left jw world i came to a strange conclusion about the jw cosmology and the free will doctrine.. basically i came to conclusion that satan is right about the universal sovereign issue.

  and i came with that just only using jws premises, no outside apostasy.

  i just told to my sister what she thought about it, and she said to me: dont tell anyone about this!.

  A perfect being cannot change. Because change would be going away from perfection.

  The Sufficiency of Christ - Salvation

  by JW Answers in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  can we rely solely on christ and his sacrifice for our sins to be forgiven, or do we have to attribute our own works upon his finished work?

  this video gives an explanation of the sacrifices made for israel under the law and what it meant at that time, and the sacrifice which christ made for ourselves under the age of grace today.

  Then you can enter Heaven and see God directly. That's our ontological purpose. Being in the direct presence of the first cause, the infinite perfection.

  Means that some people will choose to not be in the presence of God. Then God will take his grace away from these people. They would be isolated from God by their own request. Hell is a place separated from God.

  Just like you hate to hear about God and would want to live in a place where nobody will talk about God. We call this place hell because we think humans were created to worship God. So a place without God is unnatural to human beings.

  It's very easy to notice that human nature has something broken. But not totally broken.

  Jesus will not torture anyone. Hell is closed from inside.

  i asked the question on quora: .

  if the governing body abandoned the 1914 teaching, would you leave jehovah's witnesses or you would remain a member regardless?.

  They can drop 1914 and embrace the doctrine of hell. No JW would care...

  They are a social club based on 1950's clothing and fashion.
