  Open Mind,

  Why did you call your wife Jezebel? Does she wear heavy makeup?

  FRAUD at the proper time: Watchtower swindle and GB nonsense

  by Terry in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  food at the proper time?

  there is a huge difference between an opinion and a false teaching.. what if it could be unambiguously demonstrated that a teaching is not merely opinion but a false religious view passed off as absolute truth in the name of a higher authority?.

  would that not be fraud?

  "The fact that life evolved out of nearly nothing, some 10 billion years after the universe evolved out of literally nothing - is a fact so staggering that I would be mad to attempt words to do it justice."

  I hate to break this to you Perry but these are not facts they are opinions and theory. The material universe did not come from nothing it came from energy. Solving Einstein's relativity theory, E=MC2, for mass we get M=E/C2, thus mass came from energy.

  Many theorize that the universe did not "evolve" that it had a beginning at a fixed point, unless the word "evolve" here is being used to describe the expansion from that fixed point.

  My children's grandmother tries to keep them from getting their burned home repaired....

  by HappyGuy in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i knew that jehovah's witnesses were callous and cruel but this just takes it to a new level.. my children's house was burned in a fire and their idiot mother (my ex wife) did not have insurance on the house.. home depot is trying to help them and has offered to donate materials to repair the house and has asked habitat for humanity to get involved to supply the labor.. the habitat for humanity district manager came to my children's house and met the home depot district manager and my children.. after they left my children's grandmother (who lives in the house) told them that if habitat for humanity is involved in fixing the house that she will refuse to live there any more because they are involved with christendom.

  so, she is putting pressure on my ex wife to leave the house burned and leave my chlidren (her grandchildren) homeless.. my middle daughter said "well, we will miss you when you leave".

  my youngest daughter said, "well i guess i won't be seeing you any more because i refuse to live in a burned house when people are offering to help fix it but you and my mother are so stupid and retarded that you won't let them help".. please tell me that my ex wife won't be stupid enough to go along with this nonsense.

  nelly136,

  I told my daughters to ask their mother to deed the house to them (in trust) so that they can get it repaired but that would make sense and my ex wife has never done anything in the last 15 years that made any sense so I am sure she won't do that.

  cameo-d,

  you are just as callous as those sobs the JWs.

  there is no hidden agenda. my children (all girls) were in Home Depot picking up supplies that their friends had donated money to pay for. They were all dirty from the soot and had tool belts on. The person waiting on them asked them what they were doing because it was interesting to see teenage girls obviously involved in a major construction project. Home Depot got involved because they wanted to help. There is no advertising. There is no quid pro quo. Habitat does not discuss religion with the people they help. The volunteers that run the organization are Christains, the volunteers that do the work are from all walks of life.

  The premise you are stating is completely ridiculous.

  The grandmother is trying to force my children (who are not JWs and do not want to be) to adhere to her twisted view of the world and is putting pressure on their mother to refuse help from Habitat. The grandmother is using emotional blackmail saying she will go live on the street and die (she is elderly and not in good health. She has used this emotional blackmail to get her way for over 15 years).

  I dont have to worry about turning down aid from JWs, in the 22 years I was a JW I never saw them help anyone except for hurricane relief and then they trumpeted the fact that they were doing that far and wide, so their motive was not love but publicity.

  And yes, if my house was burned and someone came to fix it I would let them. If it was the JWs (that would NEVER happen, but I will go along with your delusion) I would smile and try to hold back the gag reflex.

  Yes, the grandmother has the right to go live on the street if she chooses, but she does not have the right to interfere with my children's home being repaired and forcing them to join her on the street.

  What if Jehvovah was a God approved guardian/king?

  by EndofMysteries in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  in thinking outside the box, i've came upon a few scriptures this week.

  what if "god" doesn't mean what we think it means?

  i've noticed that jehovah/god is always calling himself the god of the israelites, their god, or the god of the earth.

  Jehovah was a demon of a mythology which originated with the Chaldeans. So, of course he speaks of other gods.

  I REALLY hate Jehovah's Witnesses.

  Submission of Women

  by TJ Curioso in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  we all know what says ephesians 5:21-23 (nwt):.

  21 be in subjection to one another in fear of christ.

  22 let wives be in subjection to their husbands as to the lord, 23 because a husband is head of his wife as the christ also is head of the congregation, he being a savior of [this] body.. others translations like kjv, read something like the nwt.. in the other day, i cross with some information in the net (youtube and other pages of religious ministers) about the subject of women's subjection to the men (husband) and saw that some people say that in the original greek the word subjection don't appear in the vers.

  It is quite possible to be head of something without being a despot. However, the JWs don't teach it that way. The proper application of headship is to care for the family completely, to ensure the financial, physical, emotional, intellectual, and spiritual well being of those being cared for. Far different then the way it is explained by many Christains.

  The worldwide unity of Jehovah's Witness

  by paul from cleveland in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  everything i read on this website and elsewhere indicates that the witness are extremely united in doctrine and practices worldwide.

  when i'm reading comments here, i have no idea whether the person is posting from the us or some other part of the world (unless they say so).

  everyone's experience seems to be the same wherever they live.

  When I lived in the Amazon to be "dressed up" meant that you were wearing a shirt (yes, this was true for women also) and that you had on shorts or pants that were bought in a store. Shoes were almost unheard of. I NEVER saw anyone in a suit and tie. The JWs tried to enforce bans on having bones stuck through your nose or lips and other decorations (that alll the tribal people liked) like that but those elders were never seen nor heard from again.

  i missed the last two days of class, and did not email him before class telling him i was going to miss.

  he emailed me today and told me i could not return to class until i meet with him and the school dean, and if i didn't do it by monday he was going to assign an f for the course.

  Now you need to figure out if I am talking about the professor or the student.
