I AGREE WITH THE JWs: THE 'SOUL' DOESN'T EXIST

by NAVYTOWN in

i agree with the witnesses about almost nothing, but i do think they have the right idea when it concerns the 'soul'.

it is my belief that there is no such entity as a 'soul' that resides in a human being.

the idea originated in ancient, pre-scientific eras.

Too many people come back from being clinically dead that heard everything and saw everything going on.

Then they weren't dead were they!

Examples of Watchtower lying to the press?

by punkofnice in

i refer to this thread where a poster said that if we ring bethel they confirm that the 2 witness rule no longer applies to cases of paedophilia anymore.. http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/watchtower/child-abuse/286880/1/consider-the-outcome-when-elders-apply-the-two-witness-rule.

it has been commented that the watchtower(r) spokespersons may make statements to placate the public or press but the actual reality is very different in reality.. i am interested in having a collection of these lies or spin in one thread (probably been done before).. i list firstly the article about 'mentally diseased apostates' from the uk press.. http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/war-of-words-breaks-out-among-jehovahs-witnesses-2361448.html.

see what jw spokesperson rick fenton says against what the reality is.. .

Pope says Big bang and Evolution are correct !

by Phizzy in

from the u.k independent newspaper :.

" the theories of evolution and the big bang are real and god is not a magician with a magic wand, pope francis has declared.. speaking at the pontifical academy of sciences, the pope made comments which experts said put an end to the pseudo theories of creationism and intelligent design that some argue were encouraged by his predecessor, benedict xvi.. francis explained that both scientific theories were not incompatible with the existence of a creator arguing instead that they require it.. when we read about creation in genesis, we run the risk of imagining god was a magician, with a magic wand able to do everything.

but that is not so, francis said.. he added: he created human beings and let them develop according to the internal laws that he gave to each one so they would reach their fulfilment.. the big bang, which today we hold to be the origin of the world, does not contradict the intervention of the divine creator but, rather, requires it.. evolution in nature is not inconsistent with the notion of creation, because evolution requires the creation of beings that evolve.. the catholic church has long had a reputation for being anti-science most famously when galileo faced the inquisition and was forced to retract his heretic theory that the earth revolved around the sun.. but pope franciss comments were more in keeping with the progressive work of pope pius xii, who opened the door to the idea of evolution and actively welcomed the big bang theory.
