Serpent in the Garden of Eden is not Satan

by anointed1 in

many interpret serpent in the garden of eden as the satan hence miss the whole point because satan himself does not exist.

he is a fictional character [for example, in the temptation account, satan is shown as reflecting the erroneous belief of ancient time that shape of earth is flat, thus taking jesus to the top of “a very high mountain” and showed him “all the kingdoms of the world and their splendor.” (mathew 4:8, 9) the fact that jesus did not correct the mistaken view of satan shows the account of temptation is allegorical.

further, jesus knew that satan was only a personification of evil (mathew 16:23; john 6:70) and categorically declared that “all evil thoughts proceed from one’s heart,” not from satan.

Hi I'm new to the site

by Raque Invierno in

hi everyone, i've just registered and thought i might introduce myself and tell my experience.

my name's raquel.. i was born into a jw family.

i started leading a double life around 14y/o and got caught drinking by another sister when i was 15 and saw that as my opportunity to quit the panthomime and stopped going to the meetings.

Hi welcome to the forum.

I'm glad you are taking the time to discover the facts about the Watchtower. It really is a harmful, controlling cult.

JWFacts.com is also a useful resource.

Mandatory Reporting Laws in Canada - Child Abuse

by OrphanCrow in

the issue of whether or not the elders have a duty to report is clear cut in canada.

this will make it impossible for the wts to wriggle out of the wrongs that have been exposed in quebec recently.

the elders in those situations have received their instructions from the wts lawyers and they have been advised wrongly.. for several years (can't remember when this was made law...years back), it has been mandatory for everyone in canada to report suspected cases of child abuse, which, naturally, include the sexual abuse of minors.

I just want to add that I have worked with children in sport for over 20 years and for some of that time my duties have included child welfare. I have always taken the view that reasonable suspicions of child abuse or neglect must be reported to social series or the police.

The case for mandatory reporting is not as obvious as I had assumed.

For example the biggest child welfare charity in the UK is undecided about it.

Exploring the case for mandatory reporting:

God’s silence teaches more than what the “revealed scriptures” do!

by anointed1 in

objective reading of scriptures can see many human thoughts in them.

objective analysis of religions would show that they exist primarily for their own benefit.

is science too travelling in the same direction?

Why are the endless succession of BK apologists we get here so dishonest about their intentions?

Every single one has denied being in the BK until it was forced out of them. I even have PMs admitting as much from one of your local leaders.

Thanks for confirming you are here to recruit for the BK cult. Your response was identical to previous members who were asked the same question.

It is a nasty dehumanising family destroying money grabbing abusive cult.

Perry - You are too easily impressed by the label "scientist".

Just because some engineer or high school physics teacher rejects evolution is irrelevant.

Please link me to the peer-reviewed articles that refute common descent.

Perry if you are going to throw around random accusations about logical fallacies you need to do your homework first.
