Do you pray over your meals? If so why? If not, when did you stop and why?

by BU2B in

to answer my question, no i do not pray over meals anymore exept for when i am with other jws i do a 15 second head bow for appearances sake.

i just came to the realization god had nothing to do with whether i ate or not.

many believers are starving right now whilst many non-believers are eating like kings.. also why should god give me food while he lets little children in dprk concentration camps starve to death.

No point talking to an imaginary entity. I stopped as soon as I shook off the delusion.

Are the gospels just midrash?

by yadda yadda 2 in

some responses to this common claim gleaned from internet sources;.

the idea the gospels are simply midrash has several problems associated with it.

one is that the genre as such did not exist yet in judaism as the midrashim are a few centuries later.

Short Video - Interviews with Creationists

by cofty in

this short video demonstrates how faith is impervious to facts.. the contributers are honest about their beliefs but so badly deceived about reality it is quite depressing.

spot the canards - some of them are jaw-dropping.. pastor peter laruffa exudes, "if somewhere within the bible, i were to find a passage that said two plus two equals five, i wouldn't question what i'm reading in the bible.

i would believe it, accept it as true, and then do my best to work it out and understand it.".

Did JWN Discredit "JehovahIsJudgeUk" website?

by RottenRiley in

they use poor reasoning, they wiggle around the question and ignore the fact the watchtower was affiliated with the united nations.

this website fails to ignore the facts that we were not allowed to join the ymca even though we did not follow the charter rules, the watchtower agreed to follow the un charter and did so from 1992 to 2001 when the scandal was exposed.. .

have any of you seen works to debunk their slanted arguments and dishonest play of words?.

Love the fat guy telling us that "God made us in his Image". So God is a doubled chinned, red cheeked slob verging on a heart attack.

Helping your Loved one correlate WT mind control by exposing OTHEr groups

by Jon Preston in

ive been watching "the following" lately and my wife watched a few episodes with me.

she couldnt fathom at first the depth that mind control or "destructive influence" can take you.

so in accordance with hassans "freedom of mind" i have decided that exposing other cults to my wife will help me help her to find correlations to the wt and hopefully lead her to the bite model.
