  Went to a viewing at a Catholic Church...not what I expected

  a child in my daughter's class lost his mother very recently.

  we went to the viewing last night at the local catholic church.

  in the foyer area there was a bulletin board with pamphlets regarding child sex abuse, including by the church, in both english and spanish.

  The Catholic church claims that it is the biggest charity organization on the planet.I haven't researched that claim, but I heard it on a radio ad.

  I cannot confirm, but I had heard that they are waiting for Mad Men to finish so that they could hire Don Draper.

  the innocent civilians being attacked is the norm of the day.

  attacking hospitals too are happening frequently.

  now schools being attacked is becoming a regular affair (last of its kind massacred 150 children in peshawar on december 16, 2014)..

  For my two cent, I agree that the world condition couldn't get any worse.

  Does the astrologer have a date for the end times?

  Do we need to follow him to salvation?

  According to my calculations, the world ending asteroid is scheduled to hit in 5, 4, 3, 2, .....

  Do Jehovah Witnesses give out mis-information deliberately?

  by smiddy in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  do you think it is possible that the g.b.is deliberately giving out mis-information to confuse either apostates or media that might be investigating them for one reason or another ?

  speak out of both corners of their mouth .

  and the reason they do so ?

  A look at the booklet 'Should you believe in the trinity' proves that they are either ignorant, deceitful or both.

  Thought that it was quite enlightening until I researched it more.

  What a disgusting and disturbing pile of crap that whole booklet is when you research the church fathers.

  A quick summary of topics and issues wrong with jws

  by stuckinarut2 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  you know how our minds often get all "fuzzy" and confused when we are put on the spot and asked to come up with points?

  we often tend to lose focus and go off on tangents?.

  im trying to compile a basic list of bullet points for the most obvious and clear problems / doctrines / history of witnesses that can blow the org out of the water.. it is more for the purpose of getting my own thoughts clear rather than using it to talk to witnesses (as that doesn't really work).

  My biggie is "Lying for the Truth" Or theocratic warfare. Not because evil shouldn't be defended against, but that they lie to everyone, prospective recruits, apostates and their own.

  That's the longest post that I've read here. So many others cut and paste so much BS that I can't bear to read, but this was a good, sad read.

  Thanks for the post

  No Black or woman became Pope or WT President—reveals what?

  by abiather in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  sending a messenger nearly 2000 years in advance to preach the coming of gods kingdom, and leaving the message to be carried out by his followers who would practice just the opposite of his message [eg.

  catholics cannot accept a pope if he is from a black community or if sex is female, just like jws could not tolerate a black/woman wt president, which is in sharp contrast to what jesus himself practicedhe showed no partiality with regard to sex or communityhe elevated a samaritan woman sharing with her great truth, even before he did it with his own male-disciplesjohn chapter 4].

  claiming something as his own, and then allowing it to decay do not befit gods superlative style!.

  Pretty sure the catholic church is not against a pope of color, but I think never a woman pope.

  The WTS would accept colored leaders and women eventually I think,

  Exactly what is the HISTORIC view of the DIVINE or of what being GOD meant long ago?

  by TerryWalstrom in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the purpose of this topic is twofold.. first, any who are endlessly fascinated by scholarship, practised by genuine bible scholars, are urged by me to do what i did, subscribe to bart ehrman's blog.

  the subscription money (as little as $3.95) goes entirely to charity.. secondarily, by broadening our view of the new testament era on up through two millennia to the present day, our knowledge of all things 'christian' is deepened to include actual knowledge (as opposed to watchtower fabrication.

  by this i don't mean to imply you'll fall to your knees and get saved, but rather, you'll simply have facts to inform your present transitional mindset toward whatever end you finally choose.. now .

  Some things in early Christianity can be traced to earlier beliefs from other faiths thru time....but there is only one religion where a man claimed to be God and 2000 years later, 1 out of every 5 people [or more] on the whole planet believe it.

  And they always call it the Truth which gets in my nerves. I admit the same thing. I was never a witness, but I went to more than a few meetings and watched my brother and his wife get baptized. Always thought the phrase was arrogant.

  The quote that always stuck with me as the ultimate no brainer to run like hell was when my brother would say...and I quote "lying for the Truth"     Later he told me how he regretted ever telling me that. Why?? Because even he could see how messed up that was.  Now they call it " theocratic warfare". Warfare that gets conducted against potential converts as well as their own flock. Madness
