have anyone of you read, the absolutly jaw dropping paragraph in this article about a women who was hit by her husband?
its in page 25 of the 2/15/12 wt study edition (i read the dumbed down version).. .
if there was any question, that the watchtowers stance is for wives to simply take it when their husbands abuse them, this makes it crystal clear.. who the hell is scanning these things before they go to print?
What exactly is the difference between the WT view of women and how they should be treated and the Islamic view ?
Both seem to be stuck back in the dark ages.
This stuff needs to get out, for the public to see, if only for the benefit of the poor mind-controlled sisters who may stay in a relationship getting the s**t kicked out of them because of this filthy propaganda.
mickey mouse, our very own treasured poster, not the cartoon character, thinks that religious belief is both rational and intelligent.. do you ?.
Exactly Cantleave you lovable fundie, I mean Atheist.
The label "Fundamentalist Atheist" , implying bigotry, has been levelled at Dawkins and Hitchens and others, but I do not think it is accurate in any way, all these guys do, as you say, is call into question the beliefs of the "religious", they show no animosity to the individual, nor do the usually say anything about the believers intelligence or rationality, it is the belief being touted as rational and intelligent that is the problem.

I am , not anti anyone holding any belief in god, unless that belief harms others, the suicide bomber, the murderer of abortion practitioners etc.
But, say you have a benign belief in god, the divine, the spiritual world, whatever, can you claim that particular belief is rational and intelligent ?
Is someone, (me), who asks that question a bigot ?

As in any debate Size, we need to define terms we use. "Rational" and "Intelligent" I think are fairly well understood, though intelligence is a liittle difficult to define.
"Religious Belief" , I think was used by Mickey to mean any kind of belief in a God, not necessarily the following of a particular organised religion.
What Mickey said that sparked my interest originally was that she had no time for "Fundamentalist Atheists" , I asked what a Fundie Atheist was, she replied basically they were bigots who were obviously that way (bigotted) because they did not give belief the status of being rational and intelligent.
On that basis Size, are you a Fundamentalist Atheist (and therefore a bigot) ?

in the following thread: http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/watchtower/beliefs/218465/1/i-cant-bring-myself-to-say-the-phrase-the-truth-anymore.
black sheep mentioned that he informs jw's that other groups call themselves "the truth.
" which other groups do this?.
Yes but the difference is, all those others are Cults, whereas Jw's........ er.....um...... oh dear !
please help me to translate bibles in your native language (spain, french, ... latin ... so on).
you will live up all your life and never had known in what world lived?!
before nobody compared> 50 "official" bibles of different times and nations.
It can make a good fist of tranlating most languages Size, but it struggles with the oh so common language known as Pure Bollocks.
do you know?
i think i saw a video stating he is now jewish?
i am not certain, does anybody know?.
Mickey dear Mickey, what on earth is a fundamentalist atheist ?
We may need to start anew thread for this.
I presume you do not like R,Dawkins and Hitchens etc ? you don't have to like them, but can you show me words they have spoken that are false ?
Fundie christians muslims and others are to be feared,they KILL people, dear posh Dawkins and his ilk are no threat unless your faith is as shallow as the average JW's.
probably the best way for anyone who takes a glancing interest in this organization is to.
openly examine and review this religion from the ground up.
where it got started, what .
I did too Bella, as soon as I worked out that the 1914 thing was total crap. And the whole house of cards that is JW/WT theology and history came tumbling down.
So many lies !!!!!
The thread title talks of the corruption of the WT, which could lead one to think that at one time they were pure, if simply mis-understanding scripture.
But CTR was not lilly-white by any means, nowhere near as bad as Rutherford true, but from the very start it has been a dishonest scam.
