  Feeling like such a horrible parent.

  took my children to the park last night, as my daughter requested.

  we walked to the park, overcome with this feeling of something bad was going to happen, but shrugged it off and proceeded to the destination.

  we were there for only 20 minutes, as i was helping my 4 year old son, my daughter fell off the bars.

  “Your daughter fell of the bars? Geeze, she must be the first kid who's ever done that.” Or the second or the fifth.

  She will be fine!

  Take care,

  Will you reply to this topic or just read it?

  by compound complex in

  2. friends

  some topics generate hundreds of reads but few replies.

  others, well ... i'm not one for scientific studies.

  nor why one thing works and another will not, despite the time and effort put into it (whatever the thing/endeavor happens to be).. kindly inform me if you, in passing by and, having nothing better to do of a saturday eve, happen to see this post but have no intention of responding.. perhaps this is rocket science after all.. thank you for reading though finding no necessity to reply .... "they stayed away in droves.".

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i'm pretty new to jwd but i know it's supposed to be the place for xjw's to hang online.. .

  anyhow, i am posting here because i am an xjw who maintains a blog (who doesn't these days, right?

  ) and also produces a monthly podcast from the perspective of an xjw-freethinker and deals with jw related themes and information.

  Does Freewill require the presence of evil ?

  by caliber in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the free will defence for god.

  to justify the existence of evil and suffering, despite god being all powerful and benevolent, it is said that free will is of such high worth that it is worth the risk of us using it to create evil.

  the argument against god.

  I agree with OC.

  “Free will exists, and some creatures use it for evil ends. God didn't create evil, so he does not bear the responsibility of a free agent's actions”

  Further apostasy in the WT; Sept 29 - Oct 5 Study article dissected.

  by passwordprotected in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  sept29-oct5 "jehovah will not leave his loyal ones" name jehovah is used 21 times, jesus is mentioned 3 times.

  the fds is, of course, mentioned.

  the verses in revelation say that the lord (who is ruling as king) would bring to ruin those not fearing his name.

  This probably will make no sense, Sorry I am just trying to understand:

  PAR4, PAR6, PAR9 & PAR10- What I understand is this; Christ is not doing his job, so they are preparing themselves (GB) to commit mutiny and overthrown Christ.

  PAR13, PAR14 & PAR15- What I understand is this; the GB is preparing the people for the aftermath after the hostile takeover (Jesus failed to perform so they are following Jehovah instructions). Apostates are talking about how the WTO is manipulating the scriptures and that now the WT can make a new bible because they now truly and only represent Jehovah interest with Jesus Christ out of the equation. So they are starting the discredit campaign in advance.

  In shot in the future they can make their own set of rules, their own bible, without having to be afraid of independent thinking.
