No, this is more inline with the fact that Yan Bibiyan is a Medical Doctor, confirmed by the fact that is written in the book :"Yan Bibiyan, MD", written by, ofcourse, Yan Bibiyan...

(Disclaimer: Yan Bibiyan is a ficticious children's book charachter, not an MD)

How to stump the atheists

by StopTheTears in

jw

ask an atheist if he or she believes in the existence of aliens?

if they answer, "no," then ask them how do they know that?

the truth is that no atheist can reasonably deny the existence of alien life.

How could 40 men, over an extended time period of 1,500 years, with differing personalities, from different nations, write 66 separate Books that all perfectly

harmonize in meaning and Biblical prophecy?

Hmmm, they don't perfectly harmonize....check for yourself, unless you just blindly believe it.

"Does anyone have an April 2011 Awake magazine to confirm the veracity of this image? I do not."

A 100% match with the English edition, LWT.

Do you people realize the absurdity of this picture (not the art itself, the story behind it)!?!

As a parent, I'd tell him to go @#%$ himself. Then let him strike me dead.

"The Family Who Missed Meeting, And Their Child Was Hit By A Bus"

by Bubblegum Apotheosis in

have you heard this skit, about the family that decided to stay home from meeting.

instead of attending the t.m.s.

and book study, they stayed at home to watch the tv.

A home invasion in progress. Little old sister sees the roberer and yells "Acts 2:38". The roberer freezes until the police gets there and while arrested says he though the lady said: "I have an axe and two 38's".

Collective "A-a-ahhh"

End of fairy tale.

It makes no sense whatsoever that a" CREATOR" would only communicate with a minority of the population then put the onus on them to convey this life saving message to the WHOLE wide world

by smiddy in

i now find it idiotic that i could ever beleive the bible to be the inspired word of god.....,throughout the bible "god"has only dealt with a few of his favoured spokespersons to deliver his messages to a minority populace.individuals at first,..... then, patriarchs,nomads,a small nation,ignoring all other nations that had sprung up.......,abandoning his chosen nation,sending his "son"to a small nation, only giving them his pearls of wisdom,much of what was not even recorded for prosperity and remember he never wrote a word,it was left up to other imperfect humans to record what he was supposed to have said,just a smidgen......,again ignoring the bulk of humankind keeping them in ignorance of his plan for universal salvation,leaving it all up to imperfect humans to spread this message of salvation, whom he has already condemned for their sinfullness and disobedience.i just find it so unbeleivable.

in the 6000 years of recorded history only a fraction of the earths population,maybe less than a third have ever heard of the god of the bible, or his so called plan to redeem humankind ,thats millions and millions of people.

Tammy,

Thank you for taking the time to explain from a different angle.

The "invisible" Elephant in the room: ELDERLY JW's nobody provides for

by Terry in

question: how does the leadership of jehovah's witnesses instruct its members to prepare for the eventual elder care of its members?.

answer: it pretends it will never happen!.

is this responsible leadership or some kind of cognitive dissonant malfeasance?.

"...Tell me what year is the longest I'll need to reasonably and faithfully wait before it is obvious YOU ARE WRONG.

Just give me the date. If we're still standing here with the same old "wait on Jehovah" and I'm infirm and penniless--it is ON YOU!.."

Terry, Tim kilgore (Tuesday) has an interesting video along the same lines.

He wants you to serve OTHERS.

Point taken, Tammy. I can easily rephrase to: "...If my purpose in life is to serve others...", but this does not change the premise of the question one iota.

As I asked N.Drew, how can we get past semantics and try to address the main topic - Why communicate the message to some in a clear unquestionalble way and not to the vast majority in the same easy manner.

OK! BUT... What if Heaven is communicating through me then everything I say on this thread would BE on topic, wouldn't it?

Right, and what if I am Satan himself, manifesting as Yan Bibiyan here, trying to shake your faith?

Have a pleasant weekend.
