  How do we know animals have always killed each other?

  by inkling in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  ok fellow forum people, i really need your help.. i am trying to put together a concise argument that animals have killed and eaten.

  each other since the dawn of time.. i need any fossil evidence that any animal before the "flood", or dinosaurs before.

  "adam and eve" were indeed carnivorous.. i don't mean obvious stuff like sharp teeth, i mean things like little chomped up.

  Marriage after Armageddon

  by nemail in

  1. social
  2. relationships

  i've been a jw all my life and am thoroughly convinced this is the truth.

  but there is one thing that i just don't understand.

  many jw's believe that people who get resurrected in the new system will not get married.

  Worship Jesus?

  by pixel in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  "now, at christ's coming to reign as king in jehovah's capital organization zion, to bring in a righteous new world, jehovah makes him infinitely higher than the godly angels or messengers and accordingly commands them to worship him.

  since jehovah god now reigns as king by means of his capital organization zion, then whosoever would worship him must also worship and bow down to jehovah's chief one in that capital organization, namely, christ jesus, his co-regent on the throne of the theocracy.

  " watchtower 1945 oct. 15 p.313.

  Crisis of Consciousness: Finally Got It

  by RAYZORBLADE in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  oops, well i had intended to post a message along with this new topic and my fingers were faster than my brain (need more coffee .

  well, i suppose it's like preaching to the converted; me obtaining this book, but i guess it's one of those things i just needed to do to finalize everything.. i know there are countless topics on ray franz' book.

  but to finally pick it up, i feel like: 'i can hardly wait to read it'.. before, i more or less figured: 'i am out of the wtbts, so why bother?'.

  1. jw
  2. friends

  ....and black little number tomorrow - with matching "smalls" i don't usually dress up for that day but since i'm feeling good about myself, feeling a little naughty i'm going to be putting on the clingy-ish number.

  why not.

  i'm even going to be dishing out heart candy to everyone in the office.. a superficial topic sure but if you're feeling good why not tell the world..

  Would you support a witness who was refusing a transfusion?

  by Caedes in

  1. social
  2. relationships

  i was thinking about what i would do if a family member was in the situation of refusing a blood transfusion.

  if the doctors were trying to force them to accept a transfusion, would i support my family members right to choose or would i take the position that they are brainwashed and are incapable of making a rational choice on the matter?

  does the fact that they are hopelessly ill informed take away from their right to make a choice that they know will kill them?
