  Grace is about the same age as my Dad and shares the same name as my Grandmother. She has seen and experienced many things in her life, including the war. Her pain, particularly the emotional pain that Botchtower caused her, is now over. She is missed.

  Today's Text - You MUST Love Jehovah!

  by Divergent in

  thursday, september 1. you must love jehovah your god.—matt.

  22:37.. if you have a loving relationship with jehovah, you will be a ‘doer of the word, not a hearer only.’ (jas.

  1:22-25) a “doer” has faith that produces such works as zealous preaching activity and participation in christian meetings.

  @ Heaven...

  Did you see the thing (on TV or the net, can't remember which), where a guy put a Quran cover over a Bible, and started showing people the somewhat less-than-appealing Bible passages (I'm sure you can guess which).

  Hey Vidiot, yes I have seen that or at least one version. It certainly illustrates many peoples' ignorance of the violence and abuse in the Bible. I think this was it?:

  Many Christians haven't even read the Bible. Bart Erhman found that with his students. Funny that the supposedly most important book to any Christian, the Bible, hasn't even been read by them. I showed a few choice scriptures to one of my Catholic friends. They were shocked. We are all maneuvered through the Bible by the religious authorities to prop up their agenda. It is a book that can be used for immeasurable good... and immeasurable harm.
  

  Zappa ... excellent list. I am making a copy for my own reference. Thank you. And baker... those scriptures in Judges are sick. You can see how fundamentalist Middle Eastern desert dwellers continue today with these ideals.

  Many an atheist has resulted from reading the Christian Holy Bible.

  Can you prove that our entire universe and existence is not a computer simulation?

  by EndofMysteries in

  1. social
  2. current

  if you were a computer programmer and you were to create a simulated automated world, that would constantly evolve and self run after initial designs.

  first you would have to code the rules, laws, and core elements of this world.

  while this is being coded, the program is not run yet, so none of it exists.

  Did the flood happen?

  by BlackWolf in

  so we were talking about noah for our family worship tonight and it ended with a little debate between me and my parents about how the flood was possible.

  you know, where did the water come from, how did all the animals fit, etc.

  of course it led nowhere and my parents came up with some strange theories like that there was "an expanse of water in the sky" and that's where all the water came from.

  Many born-ins see the bull shite very quickly. Young minds can and do detect the Borg's crap. Many of us just have to/had to wait it out as we are captives due to our minor (aka underage) status.
  

  Another piece of evidence, or the lack thereof that shoots down the global flood myth is illustrated in the image below. It's along the same lines as the lack of evidence for the Exodus. Where is the debris trail?

  The kangaroos would have also had to swim quite a distance in the sea to reach Australia. Seriously, the Biblical flood story is about instilling fear of Yahweh's mite into us mere mortals. Remember, Jewish people are very good at bull sh!t.

  Thank you for sharing this berrygerry. It is an excellent report. The elders, once again, do not come off looking good at all. Just like in the ARC.

  It is interesting in Natalie Webb's case that the JWs sent 3 congregation representatives to be with her father during the trial, and no one for her. In Simon Thomas' case, his abuser was disfellowshipped but then re-instated because his abuser was repentent. If anyone questions the Patriarchal nature of this organization and its belief that the victim is the real issue and not the perpetrator, I think these actions alone speak volumes. It's an old boys club. Children and women are not considered of much importance, if at all.

  The 'Wait on Jehovah' mantra, their formula of "Pray More and Wait on Jehovah" only results in Nothing Being Accomplished, Problems Getting Worse, and People Getting Hurt, Sick, and/or Dead. This clearly doesn't work and probably should be considered a crime against humanity.
  

  The Borg considers sexual abuse of children a sin, and not a crime. It boggles the mind.
  

  I hope you don't mind but I am going to continue to post what Angus Stewart revealed at the ARC about this religion and it's 'perfect storm of conditions' for child abuse to not only continue, but to flourish. We need the secular authorities to step in and deal with this pronto.

  I am not sure I'll ever truly be able to fathom an object being in 2 states at the same time (ala Shroedinger's Cat or the example Eric gave of a light switch being off and on at the same time). Stillin... you have an excellent observation about investing... hmmmm....
