  Isn't shaving beards a pagan practice?

  by EndofMysteries in

  it's funny that in ancient times the jews had beard and had to grow their hair and the egyptians were the ones who shaved.

  .

  so shouldn't shaving be considered just like birthdays and holidays to the jws?

  Governing Body Member Stephan Lett Lies On JW.TV

  by Finkelstein in

  2. scandals

  i thought it would be important to clearly point in the recent talk by governing body member stephan lett, that he did in fact deliberately lie concerning what he described as lies and false information by apostates, concerning the organization being permissive toward people in the organization who had been involved in pedophilia.

  the truth of the matter is thats exactly what the organization has been doing and perhaps for a long time.

  the recent candace conti law suit where she was awarded 28 million dollars was levied against the wts for its irresponsible behavior by the elders who gave no notification of the accused jonathan kendrick that he had been charged with pedophilia and spent months in jail for his actions .

  It's interesting that he breaks eye contact when he begins with "apostate lies" and again breaks contacts as he says "we reject such lies". Even though may be occasionally looking at notes, liars will look to the bottom left but in his case perhaps just breaking eye contact when first announcing 'apostate lies' which is a lie, and then 'rejecting such lies' again a lie, may be subconciously acknowledging he knows he is lying.

  Lett briefly addresses the child abuse issues in new JW.org video

  by Richard_I in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i just read about this on the ex-jw subreddit.

  link to the video (10m06s).. skip to 7:35 where he says: "another way we can contribute to the oneness - rejecting false stories that are designed to separate us from jehovah's organization.

  as an example, think about the apostate-driven lies and 'dishonesties' that jehovah's organization is permissive toward pedophiles.

  Look or freezeframe Letts facial expressions when he is talking about the abuse claims being lies and apostate, etc. You can see the wolf behind the sheeps clothing there.

  Child Abuse must be getting out of hand if they're addressing it...

  by thedepressedsoul in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i'm referring to the video that was uploaded where they finally mentioned the child abuse issue.

  we all kinda guessed that if they ever addressed it they'd blame it on the media and apostates.

  well, looks like we were spot on.

  First law of thermodynamics vs God vs Big Bang

  by EndofMysteries in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  first law of thermodynamics, that energy cannot be created or destroyed but changed from one form to another.

  how does that fit in with god and the big bang to you?

  does it make one make more sense then the other to you?

  We can't claim that God exists and then turn around and say, "He's undetectable and exists outside of space/time." That is, by its very definition, non-existence.

  Thanks to the modern age of computers, a good example of how this is possible can be explained. Have you ever played a video game? A game where programmers created an entire world, with characters, weather, etc. Programmers must define the laws in that world. What is possible, what is random, what is not random, etc. Imagine them creating a very detailed and automated world. Imagine the characters instead of being pre programmed with what they would do, they had very high AI and were able to learn, become self aware, and make choices, etc. You would be the God of that world. They can't see you, you can't ever physically enter it because you exist outside of it (unless you pull a TRON). That example is a very real possibility. Since it can be done, what's to say a similar concept is not what has happened with us?

  How does that fit in with God and the Big Bang to you? Whether you believe in one, any, or both? Does it make one make more sense then the other to you?

  To me....if God exists then if energy always is and can't be created or destroyed but changed from one form to another then it would fit in with God, and would mean that everything in existence came from his power.

  For the big bang, it would not make sense that this energy came out of nothing and seems to violate that. The only way it would make sense to me would be if the big bang is an infinite cycle, the same concept as the formation and end of stars, all parts of the universe eventually get drawn together and condense and create a big bang and the cycle repeats.

  If both, then God would have expelled some of his energy to create the universe and that was the big bang.

  I find it no easier to understand the law of thermodyamics then God always having existed. Those who don't believe there could be an eternal God, do you find the law of thermodynamics easier to believe?

  Where did the energy initially come from since the law prevents it from being created? Doesn't make any more sense then God always having been.

  not too much reporting on this story but several known news agencies if you google it.

  this titanium metal orb, the size of a human hair was found and having bio matter oozing out of it.

  there is a pic on some of the sites.

  I wish they had details on what exactly was inside it. Even though it's microscopic, I'm sure they've ran some sort of test. Unless it was too compromised or denaturized to be of any use at that point.
