Churches helping neighbors instead of JW"s

by life is to short in

last week where i live we had the worst wind storm in the history of our area.

we had gust of 71 miles an hour from 3 in the afternoon till 8 at night.

it was like a hurricane at times the wind did sound like a freight train.

You know a tree by it's fruits. JW fruits are non existent. There is NO SUCH THING as a JW fruit. So, the WTS will try to corrupt the fruits of others and call them hypocrites.

Fruits that the evil Catholic church produce seem to be lasting. For example universities, hospitals, orphanages, food banks, battered women shelters, etc make it the largest charity on the planet, yet somehow the WTS says that it's just a photo op. What a CULT!

My brainwashed nephew told me that 'You don't paint the rooms of the titanic"

Really? If it is in dock preparing for it;s journey, then you paint all of the rooms, don;t you?

Don't get me wrong, if there are 3 months left before the world ends, then by all means, save as many as you can with the gospel, but if there are 3 years or more before, then people NEED things to survive. Feed the poor, comfort the mourning, provide shelter and protection to those who have the greatest need. How do people buy into this bullsh&t?

Were Adam and Eve the only humans created?

by heyfea in

my husband asked me a questions that kind of stumped me for a moment.

he asked, in genesis, when cain killed abel, and god, as punishment cursed him and drove him from the land, making him a restless wanderer, why did cain say to god that the punishment was too hard; that anyone who found him would kill him?

who was going to kill him?

TTWSYF

Adam was the first man with a soul says the bible. SO that makes me think that there were other people who lived perhaps evolved from cavemen that did not have a soul.

Just a guess of course

Who or What is the Holy Spirit?

by FusionTheism in

tradition within christianity has long been that any time the phrases holy spirit, holy ghost, or spirit of godare used in the bible (especially in the new testament), it always refers to the mysterious third divine person of the trinity, who is fully god, co-equal to the father and son, yet somehow distinct.. i want to present a simplified alternative view: let the context determine the meaning!.

(one thing to keep in mind is that the meaning of the bible words used for spirit basically is unseen force or invisible presence.).

the holy spirit as the mind and personality of god.

TTWSYF

Wasn't it Jesus who first spoke of the Holy Ghost? Might be wrong, but I know I read that the Holy Spirit can grieve and mourn, feels anger and speaks, loves and teaches. These are the attributes of a being and NOT the attributes of an active force.

Just saying

Religion spoils the real truth? What are your thoughts.

by punkofnice in

i can see how science is answering our questions.

okay, that's a sweeping statement, but it's the best way my empty head can express it.

i'm not sure if we're evolving as a species...that's another subject i admit to not reading about.

JW message becoming more and more relevant

by lsw1961 in

mans requirements are limited which can be satisfied with a little and tension-free endeavor..

however man attempts not only to collect but also to grab and amass everything to the excess.

somehow he feels that he can be happy only when he has in abundance whereas others have nothingwhich seems to be the thread that runs throughout the history.

TTWSYF

Im not sure that I follow. Isnt the JW message that the end is near? SO near that you shouldnt waste time helping people in any way other than bringing them the watchtower and awake mag so that they may understand Gods true name and increase the JW membership?

Just asking

I'm lost.

by Mandy97 in

war, terror, the end.

TTWSYF

Mandy, Does that mean that we shouldn't help the French people [except for Watchtower and Awake magazines]?

Don't want to paint the rooms on the Titanic, right?

Catholic madly in love with a JW (cont'd)

by Luge62 in

friends

those of you who read my last post, about two weeks ago, know i'm in a dilemma.

i did not run like some posts suggested.

i truly believe i found my soulmate.

TTWSYF

What things do you have in common? If you say that you think she's your soul mate, then you MUST have a lot in common, right? What things in common do you share. IF it is just the physical attraction, then I suggest that you run. Here's a little test you can try. -get a 12 pack, a pizza and internet porn BEFORE you see her and see what you have in common after that.

Theocratic Warfare

by stuckinarut2 in

no doubt we noticed the royal commission ask vin toole (and i think terry o'brien) about the expression "theocratic warfare"?.

they were asked to explain it and what is meant to witnesses.. vin outrightly lied when he said he "had never heard of that expression!".

i remember him using that term in conversations and talks many times!!

TTWSYF

I could see lying to protect people, like my elder brother would say. "If the nazis were looking for Jews hiding in your basement, you would lie to try to protect them"

I can see that of course.But what about regular questions about the org? There is no life and death decision there. Why lie then?
Answer- Because there is NO TRUTH in THE TRUTH. Hence the saying that is so indicative of the reality. LYING FOR THE TRUTH.

How could anyone continue promoting such nonsense after hearing the phrase 'LYING FOR THE TRUTH"?
