Examining The Scriptures Daily ( ...well, if we don't sue you)
by Yan Bibiyan in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
we know of numerous instances when the borg goes after 'apostate" inspired quoting of their own materials.. looks like they are bitchy about the ones with good intentions too.

didn't they want the message to be preached "all over the inhabited earth"?.

Can Jehovah Really Read Hearts?
by Yan Bibiyan in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
(a)if jehovah can really read the heart, then he with no doubt would have read the hearts of the perfect adam and eve and would have known that they will sin when set up for a (failure) test.

then he would have known that he will punish them and all mankind for many thousands of years, which would case immense suffering, all to prove a point to his archnemesis!.

in the real world, an example comes to mind.

maybe us, apostates, can learn a thing or two on how to avoid the big-a .

article is in no way related to jw, i just thought the headline is fitting with the spirit of this board, plus, armageddon is not exclusively jw lingo .

if you're interested in the survival of the us cotton industry, here is the link anyway.... .

Thank you, Mad Sweeney
by Yan Bibiyan in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
in the course of studying the many falsehoods of jws, the subject of logical fallacies has come to my attention a number of times.

i largely ignored it as something in my opinion "too dry" to dive inito.. boy, was i wrong.. mad sweeney posted a link to a website explaining a number of fallacies in plain language (often with religious examples; wonder why .

once i started reading upon it, the wts use (or violation) of just about every fallacy from the list jumped at me as visible and distinct as black against orange.. thank you, mad for unknowingly giving me my new interest in the theory of logic and reasoning and further debunking the wts bs.. for the curious, here it is: http://www.logicalfallacies.info/.

Who survives the big-A?
by Yan Bibiyan in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
i've seen experiences shared that jws have a hard time admitting that they are the only ones to survive the big-a and everyone else, including innocent infants are to be slaughtered.. that should be an easy one-two punch rebuttal, i think.. q1: is there anyone practicing false religion and worshiping a false god going to survive armageddon?.

q2: does anyone else, except the jws have the true religion?.

jw answers: no,no.. .

" ...a time and times and half a time..."
by Yan Bibiyan in
1. watchtower
2. bible
nudged by mentallyfree31's thread on 607/587 (original thread here) , i have wondered lately if another angle can be used in deconstructing the 1914 cornerstone year.

the 607 year is only important because it gives a starting point to the 2,520 years calculated from neb's dream.

the "calculation" hinges, among other houses of cards, on the 3 1/2 component, derived from the dan 7:25 and rev 14:14 " ...a time and times and half a time..." now, this adds up to 3 1/2 only if "times" means "2 times".

2. friends
another post (here is credit due to shawn: http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/jw/friends/192513/1/i-made-it ) inspired me to ask the question:.

how the heck do angels fly?

it is an anatomic impossibility.

New Here....and a Brief Intro
by Yan Bibiyan in
1. jw
2. friends
after lurking around here for about a month, i thought it's appropriate to introduce myself to such fine group of people.. i was never a jw.

been married to a baptized mate for over 15 years.

my wife was never technically all in, more of a fader, rarely went to meetings, the occasional memorial, a convention once or twice.
