  I can answer that question confusedandalone - Romans 2:10-16 -

  10 But glory, honor, and peace go to every man who works good, to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. 11 For there is no partiality with God.

  12 For as many as have sinned without law will also perish without the law. As many as have sinned under the law will be judged by the law. 13 For it isn't the hearers of the law who are righteous before God, but the doers of the law will be justified 14 (for when Gentiles who don't have the law do by nature the things of the law, these, not having the law, are a law to themselves, 15 in that they show the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience testifying with them, and their thoughts among themselves accusing or else excusing them) 16 in the day when God will judge the secrets of men, according to my Good News, by Jesus Christ.

  Religion VS Atheism and the decline of ethics and morals

  by EndofMysteries in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  being back in college after leaving the borg, one of the required classes for a degree at my college is ethics.

  after learning a few things, i am curious where morality and ethics is heading for the future of humanity.

  i wish i could find the source again, but several weeks ago i recalled reading a transcript of a very old document that talked about when christianity was being spread in europe, it brought civility and community.

  THEN - I did school in 80's and 90's and never worried about school shootings

  NOW - since Columbine, they seem to be a weekly/monthly event

  Bottom line, things have improved in certain areas and in others have declined.

  the good old days - THEN - when businesses took care of their employees and rewarded for years of service and gave fair pay.

  NOW - businesses have their employees bend over and take it, cut benefits, no more pensions and rewards for years of service, cut pay, layoff and hire cheap labor, take advantage of job market to squeeze out as much work as possible and cut pay and benefits as low as possible and have them scraping by just so the owners/stock/etc can make a few extra bucks

  THEN - many many many years ago when government taxed as low as possible, even gave back a surplus, priority was what was best for the people and the country, laws written to protect the people.

  NOW - corruptions rules, change laws to allow sponsor companies of politicians to screw everyone else, politicans in with military contractors having a yearly increasing open checkbook for as much as they want, allowing insurance industry to squeeze everyone and changing laws to force it and each year squeeze more, politican tied energy,medical,military,food,bank industries to go unchecked and always favor the corporations vs the people.

  Powerful and Damning Awake quote, and questions to help JWs think....

  by BU2B in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  just thought of another question that could start someone waking up.

  you could say something to the effect of, "i was thinking how if we were to come across a person in the ministry who asks us how luke 21:8 does not apply to jws in light of the comments such as the ones (quoted below) how could we respond?".

  or you could say that someone at work or school presented you with the awake quote and said luke 21:8 proves jws false, then you could say you need help coming up with a response to him.. luke 21:8 .

  the GB are so blind. Jesus said that the generation of Israel alive during his time would see the destruction of Jerusalem and the temple. However for the last days and the end, nobody knows the day or the hour, and it does not belong to you to know the time frame of that (those were the kind of words he said about that).

  He words came true. But they are blind to see that the 'this generation' part of his prophecies was only referring to the destruction of Jerusalem.

  Most here were raised religious. I know personally before I could 'understand' why things were right and wrong, I was just told what was right and wrong and God saw everything, so if I wasn't being looked at, even if I didn't understand why it's wrong, I just didn't do it because he was watching.

  Those who don't believe in any God/accountability, what are you teaching your kids? Especially before they can understand what is right and wrong?

  Let's take stealing for example. How would you teach a 3 or 4 year old not to steal, and in a way in which if they were not being watched and could get away with it, that their conscience would kick in?

  Let's see, dressed in all black (satanic), long hair (worldly), doing meditation or some ritual with candles (witchcraft or false religious practices), alone w/ a girl without any elders supervising (probably committing fornication / bad example) and the fact that it's at night time since they need candles on is automatic DFing because people only have sex at night and never during the day.

  Yeaaa, he might be having a trip to the back room.
