  Dianne Abbott is probably the dumbest person ever to sit in the House of Commons.

  How did the bible fables get started?

  by Tameria2001 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  today while out running errands, i was flipping through the radio trying to find something to listen to.

  i ended up on some christian type of station, and the guy was talking about the ark, and the flood during noah's time.

  personally i no longer believe this fable, because the facts just don't line up.

  Human ignorance , an indefensible fact

  But we are all ignorant of many things.

  Humans evolved a propensity to assign agency to random events. Communities tell stories about their origins. These myths deal with origins and trials endured by their forefathers. The point of these myths is not historical accuracy. They bond people together.

  It is ridiculous when post-enlightenment people still insist that these things really happened.

  Why does WT rarely reference creationist scientist?

  by Sanchy in

  in watching the latest video in the series "was it designed?

  " at tv-dot-jw-dot-org, i got to wondering why is it that watchtower hardly references scientist that are creationist.

  i know its only a minority from that group, but there are enough out there for them to reference from.

  Every time I put it to a JW on a cart that they are creationists they take offence. You have to explain the difference to them between old-earth and young-earth varieties of stupid.

  Actually I take that back. From the video it looks like the police are hitting them pretty hard. What a great job they have!

  ......and what if in one these bang ups someone dies as a result - Fink

  It's not a 'bang up'. These are very highly trained police drivers who will knock the bikes into a slide, not a head-on collision.

  If somebody dies as a result that will be regrettable but the blame will rest with them.

  The alternative is gangs of young men terrorising communities with impunity.

  I heard about this new policy recently. It had to be done. For years kids have been running amok on motorbikes knowing the police were prohibited from chasing them. Often they were involved in street robbery and got away.

  Excellent decision. If they get injured too bad.

  Shunning and the Equality act 2010

  by UnshackleTheChains in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  for those of you here in the uk, just wondered if the shunning policy within the jehovah's witnesses contravenes the equality act 2010.. .

  for example, as the ibsa comes under a religious ethos, it would considered a service of sorts, and if it were proven they discriminated against someone due to difference in beliefs, could a case be brought against them.. .

  for example, if an individual (a jdub)) employs quite a number of witnesses; he decides to leave the watchtower and join another church; but then all his employees suddenly leave as they follow the watchtower line and shun him.

  I think an individual JW could fall foul of the law if they refused to serve an ex-JW but I can't see how the Organisation could be held to account.

  It might be interesting if an ex-JW did try to frequent a JW-owned business and see if they are discriminated against.

  2. experiences

  today is my 34th birthday.

  or, my 3rd birthday that i've actually acknowledged seeing as i was raised in the cult.. i woke up this morning to my 4yo running into my room and wishing me a "happy birthday daddy!".

  i got a card from my ex-jw brother and i bought myself a birthday gift - a new 50mm lens for my nikon camera (photography is a hobby i took up since leaving the cult).. i dont know about you guys, but birthdays is still something i have to make a conscious effort to acknowledge and enjoy.

  Their actions in recent years suggests that those who do know the facts are concerned.
