Thoughts on Jesus' Resurrection

by Perry in

i think that in our various discussions about life after the wt, we many times forget about the cornerstone of christian life - the resurrection.

the implications of the existence a man who holds the power of life and death is manifold.

it makes discussions about the existence of god obsolete.. for all of scientists' accomplishments they have never been able to make even one amobea come alive from non-life.

Evolution is Crap, there I said it!

by Crazyguy in

ok i started another thread and every one jumped on me because i was trying to take the theory of evolution out of the mix and most here seem to believe in it so i will just say it.

the theory of major evolution is crap!

the theory is falling apart.

I don't like Full Gospel. I prefer 1/4th Gospel. Or maybe 2/5ths Gospel at the most.

The question isn't about whether I want you to go away. It's why *you* don't want to go away.

So you willingly flaunt Jehovah's own council? What, it doesn't apply to you?

So, why again is has someone who is obviously a true believing Witness been conversing and arguing with apostates for 12 years now in direct opposition to Jehovah's own guidance as given through the Faithful and Discreet Slave?

DC: apostates are the Anti-Christ

by under_believer in

the more you know, i guess.. also, they used a metaphor likening them to known sex offenders.

good times over here in day 2. .

Also the apostate's main goal is to achieve prominence and attention.

They've been claiming that for as long as I can remember. When I was "in", I believed that all apostates were out starting their own churches so they could get their own following.

Nice tid bit for those JW's that say Catholics are NOT Christian

by sinis in

in fact, it would seem that christianity was from the very beginning catholic... hmmmmm, how they fail when it comes to history.... .

"the earliest evidence of the use of the term catholic church is the letter to the smyrnaeans that ignatius of antioch wrote in about 107 to christians in smyrna.

exhorting christians to remain closely united with their bishop, he wrote: "wherever the bishop shall appear, there let the multitude [of the people] also be; even as, wherever jesus christ is, there is the catholic church.

Fencing

JW's don't think anyone other than themselves are "Christian". You never see another church referred to as such in any of the publications, unless it's prefaced with "so-called". Otherwise, they're all referred to as churches of Christendom. So, this really isn't specific to Catholics.

More bad chronology from the Watch Tower Society

by Jeffro in

it seems that more often than not, when the watch tower society says something about biblical chronology, they're probably wrong.

this seems to be the case even for uncontroversial matters!

insight on the scriptures volume 1, page 584 states (bold formatting added):.

How much faith can really be put in Josephus' writings about history, in general? I know his more contemporary subjects are considered very valuable insights into first-century Judaism and Christianity, but he was also writing about things that happened several centuries distant to his lifetime. I can see the value as a sort of window into what first-century Jews thought about their own history, but how accurate has it really been found?

Carbon dating and the Global Flood - links needed

by wizzstick in

i've been using the search function on the site to research this, but a lot of articles seem quite old and there have been some interesting developments in this field of late.. if you're not sure on what carbon dating is have a look at this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/radiocarbon_dating.

there's an interesting point made in the calibration methods section: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/radiocarbon_dating#calibration_methods.

on developments in the last few years.. they highlight the discovery at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/lake_suigetsu and how it increased the calibration from 12,593 to 52,800 years.

And you read some nutjob young-earth creationist's blog and now you're an expert on radiological dating methods.
