  My dad compared the beard prohibition to the requirement for Israelites to have fringes on their robes.

  To identify each other whilst abroad, but more importantly, to stand out.

  Not fitting in was the point.

  Different for the sake of different.

  New Study: Mars Once Was Completely Covered in Oceans

  by Sea Breeze in

  2. friends

  "the new study indicates that the oceans that covered the entire planet in water were at least 300 metres deep.

  they may have been up to one kilometre deep.".

  yet, some secularists say they are sure that the earth was never completely flooded with water above the tops of mountains as described in genesis.

  Sea Breeze - “I wasn't a biblical anything for 8 years after leaving the WT. Started off a pretty solid agnostic.”

  Whoops, sorry man, I had you confused with EasyPrompt.

  I don’t know why. 😵‍💫

  I dunno…

  …the “Plain Truth” guys tried mainstreaming after Herbert Armstrong died, shattered into a million pieces, and hardly anyone even remembers them anymore.

  Either the WT is so anxious about losing members and/or their tax-exemption that they’ll actually risk trying this, or they’ve figured out the alternative is even worse.

  Breaking news doesn’t give you bragging rights.

  It just means you’re a minute or two ahead of the curve.

  It’s Friday, have a drink.

  I don’t think he’s creepy/sleazy.

  I do think he’s weird as fuck, though.

  What's Wrong with the Watchtower Gospel?

  by Vanderhoven7 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  there are many things wrong with the gospel jehovah's witnesses preach.

  here is one.. according to their literature, only those associated with the watchtower organization will survive armageddon into the new system.

  is this what the apostles preached as gospel?.

  “Gospel” is supposed to translate as “Good News”.

  The "Problem" With Zoom

  by XBEHERE in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  here is the org's problem with zoom, attending this way does not fit with their "scriptural definition" of a christian gathering.

  at least not anymore, one thing my pimi wife is fine with is attending on zoom occasionally, even 2-3 times a month or so.. if some of you recall, during covid there were break out rooms setup for people to stay on and associate.

  many would also stay in the main meeting and talk over each other trying to say hello, etc.

  Sea Breeze - “…To the contrary. I fully intended in never stepping foot in any church again after I left the WT and attended university…”

  I never said you were a churchgoer.

  I said you were a Biblical literalist.

  You’ve stated before that you believe the creation narrative in Genesis is historical record (and once got into an argument here with a Jewish scholar over the subject… I was there).

  That is quintessential Biblical literalism.
