God is Love! Is he?

by Marcel in

sorry for my blasphemic title :d .

its not a fact - its a question.

i would like to know the thoughts of you about this topic.

Since all religions are structured on human ignorance and understanding, the writings of the bible are a typical proof of that fact, the belief in gods was an element of strength and power

for men and you might say it gave men a sense of security. If you read the bible in its whole you'll find that god was the most leading cause of death and destruction and could hardly be

considered a god of love. You could say the bible is a history book of human ignorance and no its not the word of god, it was in written by imperfect men with the intent to spiritualize

themselves.

Gods are a blend of human ignorance and imagination and this includes Jehovah

Sorry to hear about your family Corey, this is all too common unfortunately with jws, there seems to be a profile of depression, anxiety and self esteem isues..

It is a mentally sickening religion, the sad overwhelming part of all of this is it was started by bunch of crooked

power seeking men who intentionally created an element of fear with the intent to bring power toward themselves and to help the circulation of their money gaining publications.

If you can you should try and make that known to your family members and once this is accomplished they can start a recovery process.....good luck and all the best.......Dan.

HEARSAY....RUMOR...FABLE...LIES....or..INERRANT WORD OF GOD???

by Terry in

jw
friends

i was almost 50 years old before i really knew anything factual about how the bible came into existence!.

it is astounding.. i was reading it since i was a child never with a doubt in my head.

i was told by people i trusted (who had no reason to lie) that i could be confident the bible was the word of god almighty.. and, it was as simple as that!.

themselves. The bible in my opinion are written words of fable. mysticism with some placed history, but if you take in account when it was written in its era of human history it becomes

understandable of its content.

What Does the Bible Really Teach?

by AuldSoul in

(1) it teaches that jesus is the head of man; that god is jesus' head.

(1 corinthians 11:3) while it is appropriate for a woman to speak to a man or to god, jehovah's witnesses teach that she may not speak to jesus.

while a man may speak to a woman or to god, jehovah's witnesses teach that he may not speak to jesus.. (2) it teaches that jesus is our eternal father, wonderful counselor, prince of peace, and mighty god, our savior, redeemer, high priest, and king (isaiah 9:6; hebrews 5-7) however, jehovah's witnesses do not teach that jesus is our mighty god and teach that we may not speak to jesus.. (3) it teaches that the only foundation which can be laid for christianity is christ and that the teachings on baptisms is part of that foundation, also that baptism corresponds to the ark which saved noah and his family.

Do you agree that, if there are errors in the bible, then it's all wrong?

by JH in

in other words, if you can find a few errors in the bible, will you throw away the whole notion of the bible being "inspired by god".

example: if you find any error in the bible, will it take away the notion that killing is wrong, or stealing is wrong, .

so where do you draw the line, and accept certain biblical teachings and reject other biblical teachings?.

I came across this web site awhile back and I thought it had some thought provoking information. It is obviously written by a group of atheists

who wanted to bring to light what all Christian faiths base their religious beliefs on and probablly why some devout Christians eventually turn to atheism.

If you read their analysis of what the bible says with an open mind it can be very thought provoking material. I found most of the reading to be both mind expanding and humorous for a lot of

it, your mileage may vary !

After reading some of the material perhaps you can leave some of your impressions and thoughts and perhaps start an open discussion on its content. http://www.evilbible.com

Show me the money

by onacruse in

many accusations are made, freely and (imho) frivolously tossed about, regarding the monetary motivations for various and sundry wts policy/publication decisions.

i have myself made many such statements.. however, if i was pressed to provide evidence for any of these accusations, i would be embarrassingly empty-handed.. interpolations, insinuations, circumstantial evidence, et.

al., aside: what irrefutable evidence is there that the wts has ever made a change simply and solely because of financial considerations?.
