  How can anyone really be a 100% confident atheist given the paranormal and occult?

  by yadda yadda 2 in

  1. jw

  i don't believe the bible is inerrant nor do i hold a 'christian worldview' any longer as my profile details say (which i am unable to update on my profile), but i just can't see how anyone can be absolutely 100% confident there is nothing out there we can call a 'god' or spirit creature in the face of endless first-hand accounts of paranormal and occult experiences that felt as 'real' to the person who experienced them as anything else in their lives.. there are untold reports of ghosts, faith-healing, ouija boards, seances, spirit mediums, stigmata, mystical born-again experiences, speaking in tongues, and then there's hypnotism, ufo sightings, poltergeists, remote viewing, etc, etc.

  ok, so its mostly only anecdotal evidence, but the amount of it is so overwhelming it is practically corroborating evidence.

  in the face of all this, how can anyone categorically assert that there is nothing out there that is beyond ourselves that we might call a 'god' or spirit creature?

  How often did you entertain the "Traveling Overseers", and did you regret it afterwards?

  by ÁrbolesdeArabia in

  i found taking the traveling overseers out for a meal, to be a waste of time.

  our literature regulary spoke of the upbuilding talk the local congregations received by entertaining our brothers.

  now some of the modern cos look at their telecommunication devices, talk of things not related to our ministry or phone it in.

  Are Mormons "racist" towards black people?

  by booker-t in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  i really do not know much about the mormon religion so i don't want to say things that are not true.

  but mormons just give me a feeling of that they are "phoney" i just feel that in my bones.

  i don't want to stereotype people but i live in the same apartment building with 5 young mormon missionaries.

  2. bible

  might need a vomit bag as your read through this one..... http://www.jw.org/en/publications/magazines/.

  one gem on page six where we have "helping the needy" as the headline - i wonder which "organization" they might be referring to?.

  could you set aside, or budget, some money.

  A JW called me a moron.

  by shepherd in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  well, i finally got a chance to discuss religion with a jw at the door.

  i have been looking forward to it for a long time, now i know what questions to ask that will cause them to eat their reasoning book in panic.

  but no, there was no long in depth bible discussion.

  11-year-old niece was told by JW grandmother that she shouldn't play in band

  by keyser soze in

  2. friends

  i haven't posted here in a while, but i thought this was worth mentioning, and i just wanted to vent about it.. my brother and sister-in-law, who are now divorced, bought my niece a clarinet about a year ago, so she could play in the band at school.

  she loves it more than anything in the world.

  one day last week, her grandmother found out about this and got all upset about it.
