  Need help! Atheists/creationists/agnostics whatever

  by DS211 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  ok guys i need help.

  for all those atheists or agnostics or maybe christian science people--what are some great sites to explore our existence, the universe, bible history and archaeology, pretty much all one needs to make a decision on their beliefs.

  lets show the lurking jws that we can collaborate on something, and help a confused fading jw (me) explor his options and actually research.

  Should I ''respect'' Bible and Koran believers?

  by ThomasCovenant in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  believers in the koran/islam, that's all of them, not just so called extremists, believe that i, as an unbeliever, will be the fuel for the fires of hell.

  that's nice.. they, along with all bible believers, worship a god who is, according to his written publications, a right bastard.

  i despise their god/s.. i find that i do not respect their beliefs.. i cannot help but think that when all the philosophical talking of this, that and the other is done, they're just idiots.. i, on my down days, find that i do not respect them as human beings.

  To be honest, I recognize believers constitutional right to worship. Their believes deserves no respect. As a matter of fact, religious people don't want you to respect religion. They want you to respect their specific system. They won't even bat an eyelash as long as you don't say something bad about their particular "flavor". All believe systems are manmade and don't deserve any respect.

  Take care,

  We shall dress with modesty (1Tim2:9), why dress like rich lawyers or wealthy financiers?

  by Mr Fool in

  2. beliefs

  in my point of view, modest clothing is simple and humble.

  so why are jw-men dressed like they own a big company or are challangers to the president post?

  With all due respect:

  In sale contacts-social intercourse the first impression is of vital importance as it is rightly said, "first impression is the last impression". It is his appearance that makes or mars his case. Outward appearance is the very base for the customers to size up the salesman before he attempts to size up the prospect. A conscientious salesman makes an effort to present himself favourably to the prospect. A good, neat and alluring appearance is a mu to succeed, particularly in sales career. The appearance of a salesman is made of vital element namely, cleanliness, grooming and his clothes.

  'Cleanliness' is something that guarantees good health. It is but natural that customer do not like to buy from a salesman whose hands are dirty, has a bad breath, has a bodily odour Well washed hair and clean hands make certainly greater impression than bright neck-ties an fancy and updated dress. 'Grooming' implies due care for the face, hair and hands. Care of face does not mean use of costly cosmetics but the facial expression as it is the index of mini He should have natural and never fading smile; in fact smiling is an art to be learnt as to ho best to smile. It is said a good salesman smiles with his eyes and mouth and not with tummy. The smile should never be dry, artificial or condescending. "If you smile, the world smiles with you." Therefore, a salesman who weeps has to keep the goods with him."

  He should be clean shaven, hairs well dressed, nails well cut and maintained. His 'clothing add to his personality. 'Attire' or 'dress' has its matching role. Salesman is not a fashion mode

  His dress must not be too gaudy and expensive, like a bridegroom nor like a clown or a dundy. To be well-dressed for sales- career, the clothes need not be expensive, but perfectly tailored and the design contemporary. Good taste of clothing of salesman does away with extremes of style and excitement, clothes should be simple, clean, conservative and appropriate yet pressed. Above all, his shoes must be well polished and matching to his attire.

  How to prove God does not exist?

  by UBM101 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  many times (almost all the time) atheists asking for proof of god's existence from those who believe that god exists.

  perhaps at times they should prove he doesn't exist.

  any taker?

  "Quote from C S Lewis... an atheist who bacame a christian." - tornapart

  Although he experienced a variety of philosophies in his life, he never once gave up his view of a deity in his life, but rather went on (as OTWA said) a "spiritual journey" that ultimately brought him back to where he started.

  What Would a Country Run by Evangelical Christianity Look Like?

  by cofty in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  on an earlier thread i made the statement that, "an evangelical christian government would look a lot like the taliban".. laika asked me incredulously, "do you really think your friends from your old church would govern like the taliban!?".

  i thought it was a really interesting question and might work as a separate thread.. the people i worshipped with were mostly a nice bunch of people, but the thought of them having secular power would make me shudder.. christianity is mostly harmless because it lacks power.

  christian politicians are restrained by secular laws and constitutions.

  “Don't you believe in flying saucers, they ask me? Don't you believe in telepathy?

  — in ancient astronauts? — in the Bermuda triangle?

  — in life after death?

  No, I reply. No, no, no, no, and again no. One person recently, goaded into desperation by the litany of unrelieved negation, burst out "Don't you believe in anything?"

  Yes", I said. "I believe in evidence. I believe in observation, measurement, and reasoning, confirmed by independent observers. I'll believe anything, no matter how wild and ridiculous, if there is evidence for it. The wilder and more ridiculous something is, however, the firmer and more solid the evidence will have to be.”
