  What Do JWs Think About Dinosaurs?

  by Cold Steel in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i've seen evangelical sites that show dinosaurs dying in the great flood.

  these people believe that god created the earth in seven 24-hour days, and have wondered that if god could just "speak" the earth into existence, why he would need the other six days.

  (couldn't he just will it into existence in a flash?).

  Jehovah provides for pioneers but takes no action on behalf of children being abused

  by jambon1 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this was something that i could never get my head around.. i recall being at a convention and a pioneer couple (who happened to be complete arseholes) were talking about how they had had this bill for a car repair & 'didn't know what they were going to do so they prayed about it & waited on jehovah'.

  the bill was for 66.73 & within a few days they had returned home to find an electricity rebate made out to them for 66.73. et voila!

  all sorted out.

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  please, please, please don't make this thread go bad.

  i have a fairly serious but gently light-hearted question.. i am on my out the door to meet a friend for consultion with a surgeon who specializes in breast surgery.

  the reason for the consultation is that breast mri and biopsy shows possible cancerous lesions.

  Have become seriously angry ...all of a sudden...

  by Lozhasleft in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  another thread has set me off ...the one about anniversaries ...and i read an extract that blondie posted on there....suddenly i am soooo bl**dy furious...so indignant!!!!.

  why did we allow a bunch of men to dictate to us not only what we believed, but even how we parented our kids,and then even how we spent our free time?????

  how could we allow this stuff?????.
