  God and the afterlife. Do you need to believe in both

  by moley in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i consider myself an atheist, i completely reject the idea of a totalitarian desert god/any god and the bible is a book of fairytales and folk legends.. i do however sort of believe that this life is not all there is.

  i’m not talking about heaven or hell but in a tangible state of being.. there are a few experiences i’ve had in my llife.

  could be imagined could be real.

  My New Found Patriotism

  2. experiences

  i'm not entirely sure where this has come from, but these past few months i've found myself gradually becoming more and more involved politically and identifying myself differently.

  we all remember what it was like as jws, no political involvement whatsoever, no national pride, no singing the national anthem or saluting the flag etc.

  the watchtower literature always shown artists renditions of nationalism or politics like this:.

  Has God preserved His word today?

  has god preserved his word today?

  many people attack, doubt and fault god's word.

  yet god has made several promises in his word.he promised to preserve his word unto every generation,he promised that every word would be truth,he promised that we can rely and depend on his every word.satan wants nothing more than to dismiss, and cast doubt on god's word... so the question today is... do we have god's preserved word today?

  There are more variations (errors) among bible manuscripts than there are verses in the bible - this is NOT hyperbole.

  Why could god not preserve the original manuscripts?

  If the bible is god's word why does it promote ethics that offend the consciences of every post-enlightenment human.

  If the bible is god's word why does it contain gospels and epistles that fraudulently claim to be written by apostles?

  If the bible is god's word why does it contain irreconcilable contradictions?

  Why does it contain scientific errors?

  We could go on ... and on...

  I'm thinking Cumbernauld.

  can you adjust those numbers to account for the differences in the number of games played? -OC

  Yes. The numbers come from an article in The NYT and included the observation that when the numbers were adjusted to take account of men playing longer matches the result was the same. Men are penalised more than women.

  The one exception is that women are more likely to be illegally coached during a game.

  This is what a strong woman coming back from pregnancy and returning to the top of her sport looks like. A proper multi-discipline sport by the way, not standing on the baseline smashing a ball and moving as little as possible.

  Jessica Ennis-Hill, physically and psychologically outstanding.

  Billy Jean King agrees with her

  BJK said nothing to excuse her disgraceful behaviour.

  She agreed with Serena that men don't seem to get punished equally with women. In fact the umpire has issued violations to a number of top male players in the past.

  I saw it this evening at Leith, Edinburgh. Brilliant film!

  It perfectly captures the bewilderment of JWs who lose faith.

  Emma Thompson is outstanding.
