  Prayer, Pascal, and the Anthropic Principle

  by JosephAlward in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the anthropic principle .

  it's true that life as it exists on earth, and the behavior of the universe as a whole, is finely tuned.

  these constants, most physicists believe, were introduced at the time of the big bang, when the universe seems to have been created, or at least, to have begun again another cycle of creation.

  stocwach said: Thanks for being the first person to point out my obviously planned error. You win the prize, but unfortunately I was hoping I got the rebuttal out of REM first.

  Readers should take note of the tactic employed by the creationist and other dishonest "intellectuals". Note how stocwach is now distraught over the lack of a continued "debate" with Rem. Why? Because now stocwach cannot work with Rem on an individual basis and play on Rem's inability to regurgitate everything she has ever read on a givin subject that gives Rem the viewpoint he/she currently carries. The hope for stocwach is that Rem's possible ignorance in one area will hide stocwach's own ignorance in the matters discussed.

  Suicides within Jehovah's Witnesses

  by Leander in

  2. friends

  over the past 3-4 years i've been hearing about a number of suicides that have been committed by jws.

  whats even more interesting is that all of the individuals were male and they all had some form of a privileged position in the congregation.

  (regular pioneer, elder, minsterial servant, etc..).

  I remember when I was "studying" my study conductor had told me that one of his "friends" had wrapped a trash bag around his head and blown his brains out.

  My conductor's brother, whom I knew from work, looked at my study conductor like he had committed a mortal sin when I expressed my condolances to my conductor's brother, who knew the dead JW also.

  A red flag went off in my head when I saw that... I guess I should have broken off of the "studies" at that point.

  I asked my conductor what the problem was. He danced all around the subject and asked me to drop it. He also never talked to me about things regarding the cong again.

  Mind control works wonders I guess.

  Warning: Contains Half-Truths Hazardous To Health

  by MadApostate in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  those of us who have previously spent years and even decades reading and studying wts materials regarding the "beasts" of bible prophecy and how "false religion" has supported such know full well the wts's habit of slicing and dicing quotes so as to make it appear that "christendom" has turned their back on god in favor of world governments and especially the united nations.

  in the july 8, 1996 awake, pages 22-25, an article entitled, the pope's un visit _ what did it accomplish?, criticizes the pope's visit and speech to the un during its' october 1995 50th anniversary celebration.

  typically, the article begins with sliced/diced quotes which "seem" to "prove" the wts's historic proposition that, although well-intentioned, christendom's faith has been misplaced in man himself, and the un.

  Hippie: I know several catholics who are also taught TO OBSTAIN FROM SEX BEFORE MARRIAGE. These catholics get TESTED, get MARRIED, then GET BUSY. You forget that those stout catholics who follow the pope's directives will also follow directives to keep it in their pants. So they are [usually] not the ones spreading AIDS.

  Damn, I feel like meathead preaching to archie bunker.

  Sheesh!

  Questions for Evolutionists

  by RWC in

  2. friends

  it appears that alot of people on this board believe in evolution (either by that name or by another) as the explanation for the origins of life.

  to those people i would sincerely ask the following:.

  1. where did plants come from?.

  1. Why do we get the willies when we get cold? (chill-bumps)

  2. Why do people try to even have discussions when everyone is just ignoring the other person's points for fear of being wrong?

  3. Why am I so damn addicted to this discussion board?
