If There is no God is Murder Wrong? - Michael Shermer

by cofty in

a very useful 8 minute talk on a topic that is raised frequently by believers in this forum.. ....

smiddy

If God so loved the world he gave his only begotten son John 3:16 ,I presume he meant the whole world so why did he for at least four centuries favour the Israelites over all other nations ?that then existed ?

And himself being responsible for the death of millions of people who were not his chosen people ?

Wasnt/isnt God supposed to be impartial ?

According to the bible he he was responsible for creating seperate nations when he confused the languages at Babel

He certainly had no love or sympathy for any nation other than the Israelites for the first four centuries.

Jehovah God murdered millions of people before the birth of Jesus Christ.

Millions of people who dont believe in any God accept that murder is wrong

Thanks for posting cofty an interesting video

Watchtower Corporation Days Are So Numbered, Thank You Information Age!

by Brokeback Watchtower in

i think if we could have a graph of how the change rate of technology has sky rocketed during the last century or perhaps the last three centuries, the point would be clearly made.. say we had a huge graph of technological progress of man since his ability to make fire, about 600,000 years ago, we'd see that a new techno advancement in the species happened every 50,000 years or so, then doubling every so often till we reached the say 14th century then the doubling must have got into high gear, till now in the information age where light speed sets the limits.

now we have information at our finger tips and no need for making a laborious trips to library.

case in point type in jehovah's witnesses in any search engine.. ignorance is in a down turn no matter how hard the governing body demonize higher education, the internet, and whatever.. as this younger generation with information at your finger tips becomes of age no matter how young you get them committed by being baptized, it spells doom for these clowns running this corporation.

They are no "Going out with a bang but a whimper" as the older generation die off and the younger generation fade away finding religion irrelevant .

"Abuse of free will" - an Oxymoron?

by doubtfull1799 in

the society loves to talk about how adam and eve abused their gift of free will.

doesn't free will mean the freedom to choose?

how can exercising that freedom to choose then be classed as abusing the gift?

smiddy

Adam and Eve exercising their "free will" became like the Gods Knowing good and bad Gen.3:22 according to Gods word the Bible.

So the Gods didnt really want Adam and Eve to have free will , they were upset that they execised that right that was given to them.

A baffling physics question

by FatFreek 2005 in

for several weeks i've been treating myself to a hot chocolate milk (well, soymilk) before bedtime.

some 16 oz soymilk which i heat on high in our microwave oven.

this is just enough time where the liquid begins to bubble along the top edge.. i then take it out of the microwave and place it on my kitchen gram scale, stir it good enough to redistribute the heat, then reset the scale to zero grams.. next, i squeeze in the hershey's sytup, "special dark mildly sweet chocolate" (fat free) into the warmed soymilk till the scale reads some 30 grams.

Their is also the plus -minus error % to be considered with each recording.,are they outside these limits or within these limits.?

Their is always a margin of error to be taken in consideration with any experiment either with the same person doing the experiment and a different margin with someone else doing the same experiment..

".... they do not kill in the name of JEHOVAH..."

by kpop in

we all love apostates because it is apostates that expose the cults for what they are.

few people should know this better than we do!

interesting video of mosab yousef at jerusalem conference sept 2016. yes, he really says that "muslims do not kill in the name of jehovah..." which i found interesting.. please, please listen to the whole thing before making a comment.

smiddy

Jehovahs Witnesses do not kill others in warfare however, the not "eating" of blood /animal sacrifices interpretation completely misses the point and has not relation to blood transfusions.

So the Governing Body does sanction killing in the name of Jehovah against their own members.( in the thousands now since this policy was introduced in the 1940`s/50`s )

Fathers ,mothers sisters brothers children ,no one is exempt.

Whether it is self inflicted or by another person death is death .

Apparently the shedding of Jesus blood in his sacrifice at his crucifixion/death on a torture stake was not enough for Jehovahs Witnesses they want more blood shed.

Islamic people kill not only themselves but also innocent bystanders Muslims or not randomly in the name of Allah

Again ,fathers mothers sisters brothers children ,no one is exempt from their slaughter

smiddy

Hi Gorby your parents have reached the biblical three score and ten years of their life .hopefully they will go on for much longer .

I was told my children would never have to go to high school one is now 55 and the other 49 (both out of jw)

Hopefully it will still be a long time before they see both parents pass away LOL

It's about progress, not perfection...

by scratchme1010 in

i guess at this point in time and space i'm ok if there's an indication of things going in the right direction.. my jw father, who joined the jws in 1973 when i was 8, has always had all the characteristics of the stereotypical brainwashed born again weirdo.

as a jw he always felt the need to show that he was more devoted than the rest of the crop.

to him, life became very easy from that point on: "the bible", interpreted by the millions of wt publications, along with the information in the meetings and getting involved in all jw activities, were the answer to everything and anything in his life".
