  For JW lurkers - After Hamburg.................

  by BoogerMan in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  .......do you still believe the organization's false teaching that romans 6:7 refer to a person's literal death?.

  watchtower may 15th 1982, pp.

  8,9 - "the bible explains that at death a person is set free or released from any sins he committed.".

  Chance or intelligent design?

  by ExBethelitenowPIMA in

  2. beliefs

  cofty could you answer how the single cell came about by chance?.

  i know the argument for complexity in nature says natural selection over billions of years but this could not explain the complexity of the single cell the building blocks of life?.

  ""Worse still, the creationist argument always boils down to tedious special pleading about how their magical infinitely complex sky friend just always existed. ""

  I know it's kind of the end - all, right?

  There's no theory in that at all.

  ""It obviously suits the WT to use the meaning that helps them scare people into obedience ""

  One of the Borg's control mechanisms, that which is fear.

  ""Sometimes I get irritated and let it show. My apologies to the rest of you members here. ""

  Thanks FedUP, appreciate that.

  ""WT filter says that the new covenant is for the 144000, so we don't even see what Matt 26:28 says, that it is for the forgiveness of sins for the MANY. I never got the sense of that scripture until within the past year..""

  keep reading that Bible and put the Borg publications away.

  & when the Borg becomes more and more extreme on dealing with mental illness and elder abuse, these kinds of tragic events are compounded & more widespread

  Clearly, the Borg is it's own worst enemy.

  many people here have expressed faith in evolution and in other theories—but in all honesty, do you have any hope whatsoever in your heart or in the back of your mind ?

  truthfully..

  Having ''faith'' in anything, doesn't prove anything either.

  " Just read the Bible without the WT filters. If you go and believe that Jesus died for your sins , ""

  Nobody has ever become a JW or adopted their beliefs by reading a Bible.

  ""RaymondFrantz It was the police chief that said they thought the man suffered from a mental illness. Just reading excepts from his book and website makes that fairly plain, I think. ""

  Regrettably and understandably, the Borg may realize more of these tragic and scary events with such harmful policies leading to mental illness.
