  The upside of atheism

  by paul from cleveland in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i realize whether you believe in god or the non-existence of god it has to be taken on faith since both positions are unknowable and unprovable.

  however, i can understand faith in god as basically a hope for something better.

  i can also understand agnosticism; admitting it's unknowable but still leaving the door open (perhaps the only intellectually honest option).

  The Watchtower Speaks for Itself

  by sd-7 in

  on the subject of infallibility.... .

  ***w52 3/15 pp.180-181 are the popes infallible?***.

  coming now to the conclusion, we read: again i say, if you decree the infallibility of the present bishop of rome, you must establish the infallibility of all the preceding ones, without excluding any; but can you do that when history is there establishing with a clearness equal only to that of the sun, that the popes have erred in their teaching?

  "ALL Have Sinned!"

  by wannabe in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  does it sound fair to say that, 'all have sinned?

  ' when adam first sinned in the garden of eden, was all mankind alive now, with him when he committed his sin?

  or many billions of others who have ever lived since adam sinned?

  The sexual "morality" thing

  by Quillsky in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  my mother got involved with jehovah's witnesses in the 1960s/70s because mainly i think she didn't believe in the sexual "morality" or "immorality" of that era.

  i believe she didn't see many other religions speaking out against sex before marriage and abortion.. and so she drew relatives and her own children down into the trap, the morass, the molasses, of anti blood transfusion and end-of-the-world clap-trap thanks to her well-believing sexual morality.. anybody else with family trapped because of the "morality" of jehovah's witnesses?.

  Now That Their Crazy Overlap Doctrine is Out, They Can Promote More GB

  by OnTheWayOut in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  this overlap stuff is such heavy crap.

  i wondered why they had so many changes in the last few years.

  it might be because the old guard is in charge and there is a small governing body.

  DOES THE BIBLE really really EXIST?

  by Terry in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the bible did not exist in jesus' day nor in the lifespan of his apostles.. people didn't walk around with one (bible) tucked under their arm.. christians didn't carry one (bible) door to door for preaching and teaching.. the closest thing to the bible was the septuigint greek translation of hebrew scriptures which not one person in a 10,000 had ever seen!.

  creation of the septuagint (wikipedia article).

  ...in the third century bce[6].

  A Superior Intelligent Creator Of the Universe or Universes Would He Be Emotional?

  by frankiespeakin in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  suppose that a superior intelligence created everything in the universe and for all we know ours could be just one of an infinite number of universes which seems to be very plausible these days but no way of knowing for sure (yet).. would such a creator match up with the personality of the biblical deity?

  would such a creator be filled with emotional jealousy over worship given to other deities as false as they may be, and becoming enraged to the point of annihilating those who worshipped albeit false gods.. would his anger blaze over some relics he gave his people to symbolize his presents and they mishandled them like the case of uzzah who tried to steady the ark of the covenant?.

  would he get angry at his creation adam& eve who were as the bible says innocent and had no knowledge of good and bad and so ate of the fruit and were kicked out of paradise to suffer and raise offspring doomed to suffer over a trifle that they committed while ignorant and naked?.
