Make Your Case for God's Existence
by Megachusen in
1. jw
2. friends
quite a few of the ex-jw's on this site are either atheist or agnostic.

i figured that it would be interesting if the theist side could make their case for god's existence and then non-theists could either debate the points or concede, depending on the arguments given.. so, if you believe in a god, please tell us your most convincing argument for why we should aswell..

Watchtower Amnesty Day -- What If It Really Happened?
by CrimsonBleu in
1. jw
2. friends
have you ever considered what effect one day of amnesty would have on the members of the watchtower society?.

ponder this for a few moments: watchtower society makes a worldwide announcement through all of its publications, assemblies and meetings that on a set date, all jehovah's witnesses, baptized or not, we're being offered the liberty to disassociate themselves from the organization -- no strings attached.

during this day, letters are written and handed in or mailed stating that whoever was writing it was officially bowing out of the watchtower society and its doctrinal teachings.

but what about the tens of thousands of others that have their life wrenched out from under them by being disfellowshipped?.

and what about those that have a family member that died because of not receiving a blood transfusion?
