  by Girlie in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  and then, immediately after babylon the great is destroyed, almost without a break, look at matt 24 :29 -immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened and the moon will not give its light and the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken.. now in what sense will the sun be destroyed and the moon not give its light?

  are you ready for that?.

  and you'll fall across the finish line into the new world !

  Snowbird says: Girlie, I believe they're hoping the token-Negro-turned-MLK will fire up things!

  "Token Negro"? I shouldn't be suprised that a person from Alabama is racist, but it really doesn't matter what you uneducated rednecks think anyway.

  Your post is a little confusing. Can you label more clerly what quotes are actually from the talk and which quotes are your own comments.

  Fact vs Faith vs Delusion

  by jwfacts in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  religious groups regularly refer to their belief system as truth.

  religious truth is generally a mix of fact and faith.

  for some groups, truth extends beyond faith and into the realm of delusion.

  JWFacts says: Facts pertain to knowledge gained in the form of experience and learning. A hypothesis is postulated, tested and if verified becomes considered a fact... Faith is used to describe beliefs that are not proven. These unprovable assertions rely on faith to be accepted.

  So Jwfacts by your own addmission evolution and the big bang theory is faith and not fact as evolution has yet to be proven and the big bang theory is unprovable.

  Hello Paul. As you can see from all the stupid and immature response to your question, this really isn't the type of site to try to have any intellectual or serious conversation. This site is mainly for bitter sarcastic ex-jws who spend all their time bashing the watchtower instead having real conversations.

  ok, if a bible believer wants to join in too, please refrain from citing john 3:16 or verse like it that clearly call for a christian perspective to be appreciated.. .

  i'm looking for kernels of wisdom that transcend religions and the necessity of faith.. .

  GeorgieGirl can you tell us where you got those quotes so I can get more information. On some of the quotes you don't even list a book and with the ones that you do give a book you don't say where exactly in those books that particularly quote can be found. I know for a fact the Hadith was written hundreds of years after the new testament so that makes me question everything else in your post.

  More than 50% of the world's practicing Nazis/Skin Heads live in Russia making Russia the most racist/bigoted country on earth and Russia is also the 5th most violent country on the entire planet, yet the government is concerned about JWs knocking on people's door giving out magazines.

  "We will build towers to the heavens." "Man was not built for such a height."

  by sd-7 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  this topic has almost certainly been discussed before, but it just popped into my head.

  the title for this topic is a quote from a brilliant rock band called the protomen--for you video-gamers out there, if you've never heard of them, you should give 'em a listen on itunes or wherever.

  they're incredible.

  SD God God wasn't against mankind being united, he was against what they were uniting to do. God united the descendent's of Jacob under with one language, one law, and gave them their own land. And in the new testament God united Jews and Gentiles under Christ. And of course after the resurrection all of heaven and earth will be united. So to conclude God doesn't want people to unite based on what happened with the tower of Babel is fallacy.

  how do you put the bible book of revelation into perspective?

  do you see it as real?

  metaphorical?

  While I do believe every other book in the Bible is 100% truth and is inspired by God, Revelation is the only book I don't believe is inspired. I believe this mainly because it contradicts what was taught in the rest of the Bible and it introduces way too many new ideas that Jesus, the Apostles, the Prophets, and God himself never mentioned such as the battle of Armageddon, the lake of fire, dragons, 1000 year reign, etc. And there is too much numerology in Revelation, something that is not present in the rest of the Bible.

  On spanking your children...

  by HintOfLime in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  i posted about this on my own website, but i'd like to get thoughts here as well, since jw's are big proponents of the 'violence is the answer' side of this debate.. new research is suggesting that spanking children may result in lowered iq's.

  (la times article) one hypothosis i've read elsewhere as to why this may be is because when faced with an unexpected result (the glass broke) the non-spanked child wonders why the glass broke and how much abuse a glass can take before breaking (essentually, the problem-solving/scientific parts of the mind find the unexpected result interesting, and want to learn more).

  the spanked child immediately enters fear mode - he's in trouble, his parents will be dealing him pain soon.

  Joshnaz says "I have a 2 year old... he's a pretty tough kid".

  I was waiting for you say he could take a punch too. There's nothing more soothing than reading about a grown man physical assaulting a defenseless two year old. "Men" (I put men in parentheses because I'm using the term loosely here) like you are second only to child molesters on my scum meter. It's "men" like you who are quick to beat women and two year olds but scared to death of hitting a man. I guarantee you would never hit a man like you hit that two year old because deep down inside you're a little sissy and don't have the balls. If I was to ever see you hit a two year old in public, first I'd kick your ass and than I would call the police and than you would receive a more violent possibly fatal ass kicking in prison.

  I said there is no "I AM" because God said to Moses "I will be" as in he will reveal himself through his power by freeing them from Egypt. "I am" or "I will be"/"I shall be" is not a title for God.
