  Biblical Prohecies That Came True?

  by Viviane in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  recently there have been several claims made regarding prophecies that came true.

  i've not personally seen a prophecy that i would consider as having come true.

  i would consider the following as the requirements to say something is a prophecy and evaluate whether or not it came true:.

  Well the prophecy about the Earth being destroyed will come true. In about 5 billion years when our Sun is finished.

  Why was such a GREAT, GREAT, GREAT thing as Internet not foretold in the Bible?

  by Pinku in

  2. beliefs

  jws claim that even such a small thing as proclaiming 1986 as the international year for peace was foretold in the bible.

  this raises the question: why was such a great thing as internet (the influence of which could not even be compared with anything in the history at all) not foretold in the bible?

  with internet and tv the world has become literally a global village!.

  A better question is what technological marvel of the 20th or even the 19th century was foretold by the Bible?

  Your earliest doubt?

  by Apognophos in

  2. experiences

  this might be an unfair question for those who have been out of the organization for decades, but i'm wondering if any of you remember your earliest doubt -- maybe something odd that occurred to you as a kid (if you were a jw then).

  please try to limit to two doubts at the most :-).

  i think my first "doubt" was simply realizing that at the time of the flood, every animal that wasn't in the ark died (well, besides the fish, supposedly).

  The earliest real doubts I had were when I found out that Jehovah's Witnesses didn't keep the sabbath. Then it got serious when I found about the constantly changed teachings and then read Crisis of Conscience.

  It doesn't feel so good when someone else is bothering you trying to convert you to their foreign thought processes as those Mormons just found out.

  Do You Think Prostitution Should Be Illegal?

  by minimus in

  recently, in my area, a number of people have gotten caught looking to pay for sex from a call girl.

  a catholic priest was one of the "johns" that got arrested.. i know there are some that argue that it is debasing.

  still, for a million years, it's been going on and there are willing parties who want to engage in this activity.. if two consenting adults want to have sex with one another and are willing to pay and accept the services, is it a horrible thing, in your opinion?.

  I have yet to hear a convincing opinion on why it should be illegal.

  Top Ten Signs You're a Fundamentalist Christian

  by thetrueone in

  2. bible

  top ten signs you're a fundamentalist christian.

  1 - you vigorously deny the existence of thousands of gods claimed by other religions, but feel outraged when someone denies the existence of yours.. .

  2 - you feel insulted and "dehumanized" when scientists say that people evolved from other life forms, but you have no problem with the biblical claim that we were created from dirt.. .

  A discussion with the good Reverend....

  by AK - Jeff in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the watchtower society and god have no similarity.. in my experience, as a 14 years-old-boy i was carrying a heavy burden of sin.

  then i was told that jesus christ left all of heavens glory, came into this world and lived a perfect life for 33 1/2 years and then died on that torture stake for sinner.

  as i heard this, i asked myself if i was really hearing what this man was saying.

  Some of these pastors and reverends are even bigger hypocrites than many of Jehovah's witnesses.

  Why would God stop man from building a tower that reached into the "heavens" and yet let modern man reach even further with a space station and moon landings?

  I wish one of the fundamentalists on this board would respond to this post as I have yet to see any kind of credible response to this.

  promoting Satanism to the young

  by Weeping in

  2. friends

  one of the top songs of the 70's was "hotel california" by the eagles.

  most people have no idea the song refers to the church of satan, which happens to be located in a converted hotel on california street.

  on the inside of the album cover, looking down on the festivities, is anton lavey, the founder of the church of satan and author of the satanic bible!

  Why don't you try proving that Satan even exists in the first place? And saying Hotel California promotes satanism means you obviously must have never listened to the song.

  Those "Exuberant" Latins. More 1963 assembly highlights.

  by Open mind in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i'm dragging myself, a few pages at a time, through the 192-page report on the 1963 "everlasting good news" assembly of jehovah's witnesses.

  these two quotes are from page 47 which described a simultaneous program in spanish at the new rockland palace, while the english program was going over at yankee stadium.

  (quoted material in italics and bolding added for derisive effect.

  In the English Caribbean the term coolie applies to people who are of mixed Black and East Indian ancestry.
