First law of thermodynamics vs God vs Big Bang

by EndofMysteries in

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?

This is quite interesting, especially if it kicks the big bang theory out the door. http://www.space.com/28681-theory-no-big-bang.html

I didn't know we had so many PhD Physicists on this board.

Many claim this is all covered and easily understood by reading a basic 8th grade science book or something similar.

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

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 .

EndofMysteries

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.

I'm long gone but during that time I went to Quakertown Cong, not far away. I remember when all of that happened, I was a kid.

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

by Richard_I in

jw
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.

EndofMysteries

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

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.

Marked, great quotes Splash!

Where did this picture of GB singing come from?

by Esse quam videri in

sorry.

i see it is on jw survey and from one of their earth shaking, mind bending, nausea producing jw.org broadcasts.. .

EndofMysteries

What is up with Lett? He talks very weird, with his mouth always open real big and talks very slow as if he is doing a kids program for 3 year olds. "Now........let.....us......do......our......A .....B......C's......A...B....C....D...."

EndofMysteries

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?
