  Key to some universal truths—Queen Jezebel has it!

  by venus in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  even wicked queen jezebel knew ‘what is good and what is bad’ because she described those who hurt others for no reason as “good-for-nothing.” (1 king 21:10).

  from her comment the following universal truths can be discerned:.

  1) everyone is endowed with the knowledge of good and bad, which makes god’s communication with humans unnecessary.

  God is required to fine-tune the earth to make it congenial for life and for its enjoyment

  Then he failed miserably.

  The OP is based on a pathetically naive view of the natural world.

  Freddo's point is important. This major study article was so vague we only knew for certain that the doctrine had actually changed when we read the masthead on the Awake.

  I remember my PO argued with me that nothing had actually changed until I showed him the accompanying Awake. It was the deceit of the Watchtower that angered me even more than the failure of the doctrine.

  ok, i apologise in advance if this seems irreverent to those who believe in god.. but, the bible says that god (jehovah) impregnated mary.

  without her consent.

  so that would seem to be rape...right?.

  Astro-theology and dates concerning Jesus the moon god?

  by Crazyguy in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i have done a lot of research over the years in to jesus and how he related to other older gods and astro-theology.

  many who have looked in to this before me have stated that jesus is a retelling of a son god.

  they talk about horus and quote scriptures where jesus is alluded to being the sun of god as much as the son of god.

  The new facilities at Chelmsford will not include a printery and we will discontinue printing at Mill Hill toward the end of March 2018. Therefore, if you would like to see the MAN Roland press we would encourage you to visit before then.

  I'm genuinely astonished!

  WTF is the point of Chelmsford. Can anybody link to the original publicity about plans for Chelmsford?

  According to the Luke's account of the myth Mary consented in advance.

  Is it more likely a virgin gave birth or a Jewish girl lied?

  Does Following The Christian Precepts Of Truthfulness Lead To Nihilism?

  by Brokeback Watchtower in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  "i am the way and the truth" said jesus.

  also "speak truth to you neighbor and put away false hood".. this reverence for truth in christianity also leads to its undoing in the information age of science and technology.. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/nihilism.

  nihilism is often associated with the german philosopher friedrich nietzsche, who provided a detailed diagnosis of nihilism as a widespread phenomenon of western culture.

  I go by reason

  That is clearly the last thing on your list of priorities.
