Well done SBF on finding an insignificant little apocalyptic cult that is the exception that proves the rule.

Okay, just for the sake of focussing on my main point let's concede you are right about kids not putting lives on hold.
All apocalyptic religions (including SDA and mainstream evangelicals) are poison.
Apart from causing young people to put their lives on holdit teaches them that millions of non-favoured humans will be obliterated by their god any moment.That is the most damaging aspect of religion and raising children in those groups is mental abuse.

irrefutable proof of the great apostasy that corrupted the catholic church
by TTWSYF inwhen the emperor constantine legalized christianity in the roman empire around 311ad he allowed or introduced a flood of half converted pagans and allowed the corruption that sullied the true faith and ruined christianity until a time when it could be restored to the true and pure faith that it was intended to become.
many people here know that to be a fact.
it's a common sense theory, right?.

According to the Old Testament aren`t YHWH God and the then Nation of Israel guilty of War crimes by today`s standards? ?
by smiddy3 injust going by memory here with regard to the "old testament' when god promised the land he chose for the jews ,flowing with milk and honey ?.
their is no record in the bible of god ever giving an option to all the nations that already lived their to move on and he would compensate them at a new destination.?.
apparently without warning he just charged up the israelite`s for war with these nations to evict them from this territory that they had resided in for who knows how long.. not only that ,they apparently spared no one in their conquests killing man,woman and even dashing children to pieces ,and not feeling sorry for anyone.. don`t people think that this is a bit barbaric ?.

The moral monster of the Old Testament is the 'God and father of our Lord Jesus Christ'.

How do Jehovah's Witnesses get away with lying about the scripture?
by Capitanul inthey can edit their own versions to conform to their doctrines but what's stopping people to hand flyers or glue posters with the actual quotes in contradiction to their statements?.
examples:.

Every one of your proof-texts can easily be countered by other proof-texts and by putting a different 'spin' on the verses in question.
For example 'eternal punishment' can be understood to mean annihilation with no hope of resurrection - the judgement is 'eternal'.
Reasoning with a JW takes far more insight an subtlety. Trading verses is pointless. Most of their beliefs can be supported by bible translations other than their own.
Welcome to the forum.

New Study Claims Children Raised Without Religious Indoctrination show More Empathy and Kindess
by fulltimestudent inthere is a controversial claim in this article, quite different to what christians usually claim.
it interested me, as i often wondered how as jws we could claim to be loving and kind (and certainly some were) yet, be quite callous about those who rejected our message.. you can find this story on this research at:.

It has not been my experience that Christians lack empathy.
The Evangelical ones have a strange compartmentalisation where they tend to be very kind in practice while believing the objects of their benevolence are bound for Hellfire.

Celtic Football Club Create World Record
by The Fall Guy inthey have just won all 3 major competitions in their country for the 3rd year in a row.. sadly, this feat serves to demonstrates how sad scottish football has become.. they are simply the best of a bad bunch in scotland, and each year invariably exit the uefa champions league with a whimper..

Speaking as a football fan, coach and as a Scotsman, Scottish football is in a bad way.
The standard of football is dire. The money available to clubs is a tiny fraction of the budget of English teams. It's also poorly run by the men in suits at Hampden.
My local club has just been relegated out of the SPFL.
