  this is one major reason why i dont try to wake up anyone anymore.

  they need to take the first step, and then i will help---- if they ask.

  otherwise i just listen and marvel at how some of them think.

  The funny thing is that guy & those that took out the twin towers have a lot in common.

  Dangerous & deluded.

  How many witnesses died in the towers does anyone know?

  Cruel man to be so callous & dismissive about those who died.

  JWs have more good points than bad

  by lsw1961 in

  1) many who were on the destructive path have been transformed by their teachings (this includes me who was once vicious, and presumptuous and atheistic).

  2) equal monthly pay to all members of the bethel community regardless of whether they are bc members or sweepers.

  this is something that still remains as an unattainable dream for the world.

  They effectively invited the attention of the world into the thinking that evolution theory is just a theory believed out of convenience rather than conviction [if it were a principle, all scientists would have unanimously accepted it)

  
  

  You do not understand the scientific definition of a theory and are confusing it with a hypothesis. A theory, as used within the scientific method , is a framework of observations and facts. It has to be well substantiated through repeated testing and confirmed as a principal that explains natural phenomena.

  Evolution via natural selection is believed by the JW's but on the micro scale ( ie different breeds of dogs or birds )as opposed to the macro scale (speciation, which is where two animals are so different they can no longer breed). Scientific Theories must also be predictive and the theory of evolution has been proven conclusively via genetics.

  I urge you to read a scientific book on the theory of evolution via natural selection before you condemn it out of hand. You cannot dismiss something you know nothing about. Wtbts science is wildly out of date, selectively "quote mined" and misleading.

  Biologists unanimously accept evolution.

  Glad to see you here though welcome😃

  I learnt about the nasty side of human nature from some particularly unpleasant bible characters.

  Any other subjects they touched on where at such a superficial level I have forgotten it all.

  Your thoughts on the new Star Wars?

  so i've thought for a while now that jj has the lowest bar to clear in cinema history.

  all he has to do is make a movie that's not as bad as the prequels.

  but upon viewing the recent trailers, it looks like he's actually got the "feel" of the originals down.

  so many serious topics lately ... so for anyone who wants a break, it's trivia time and the subject is pop music.. which act is the only one to have a top 100 hit both before, during and after the beatles had theirs?.

  no googling.

  if you guess, you also need to add a trivia question for others to answer..

  Revised NWT...cross references...Has anyone noticed....?

  by 4thgen in

  2. bible

  just let me say, i hate the gray bible.

  when i read the revision of mal 3:10 and they included tithing, i almost vomited.

  recently though, my invalid mother asked me to read to her and the only thing available was the gray bible.

  But we all have a soul that is eternal, which was made in the image of our eternal creator. The Watchtower doesn't like this fact either because it begs the question of WHERE that soul will spend eternity.

  Perry, I just wondered what your take on animals is? It's just that anyone who has been close to another species knows that they feel, smile, lie, love etc just like humans - what applies to one must apply to the other surely?

  So sorry about your mum by the way🌹

  Oh, and Freddie Franz says, "Thanks an effing bunch!"

  the faithful and discreet slave are free to look back now and make a mockery of whatever beliefs were previously held by jehovah's witnesses.. they are also free to make types and anti-types of some parts of scripture, and not of others.

  they do that thing where they focus on one part so as to distract from the fact that they are doing the exact same thing with another part.. for example, in his talk featuring the new understanding of the "man with the secretary's inkhorn," geoffrey jackson goes on to say:.

  we know in recent years we've been careful not to try and make types and anti-types of every aspect of what the bible says.

  Is that ego as big as the brand canyon as in Russell Brand, Jookbeard?
