JW's are christians.
Deny that fact it's the fallacy of no true scotsman.
And christianity and islam are sects from judaism.
i am getting tired of all the so called jesus followers that simply want me dead .
w89 9/1 19 remaining organized for survival into the millennium.
"7 only jehovahs witnesses, those of the anointed remnant and the "great crowd," as a united organization under the protection of the supreme organizer, have any scriptural hope of surviving the impending end of this doomed system dominated by satan the devil.".

i have a similar belief so far.
.
i was just thinking about how humans being imperfect and satan's influence was the root of everything bad that anyone has ever done.
well i know that apparently everyone is vulnerable which got me thinking about what "bad" things people have done while they were a jw.
i'll start it off.
just reading a thread and the mention of karma popped up.
( it happens, lol).
a lot of people believe in karma: what goes around comes around.. some months ago, while on another exjw site, karma was mentioned and i thought it a little odd, as they are atheist.
Karma in hinduism is cause and effect.
In buddhism karma means cyclical thought pattern.
It's a kind of vice of mind, you use meditation to be aware of some kind of recurrent thoughts and feelings that come to your mind without your conscious will. The karma can be easily spotted in situations when you react in an automatic way.
The objective of buddhism is to train you mind until you have full control upon your karma. Because the natural manifestation of karma is one of the sources of suffering or insatisfaction.
I do not believe in this, I just accept as an ancient decent psychological explanation.

it is very difficult to knock a ball into a hole (like golf), throw it into a receiver's hands (american football) intercept it and knock it over the fence (american cricket).
or to put a sattelite at the right time at the right speed in the right direction in the right place to have it orbit another body, so :.
what ingenious natural & process is it, than can get 9+ zillions bodies to get into the right orbit simultaniously or sequentially and have them remain there for billions of years?

The OP is a shameless "sentient puddle" fallacy.
Imagine a puddle waking up one morning and thinking, 'This is an interesting world I find myself in, an interesting hole I find myself in, fits me rather neatly, doesn't it? In fact, it fits me staggeringly well, must have been made to have me in it!' This is such a powerful idea that as the Sun rises in the sky and the air heats up and as, gradually, the puddle gets smaller and smaller, it's still frantically hanging on to the notion that everything's going to be all right, because this World was meant to have him in it, was built to have him in it; so the moment he disappears catches him rather by surprise.
i'm starting to believe the bethel higher ups are trolling us.
the outright contradictions and stuff like overlapping generation is too ridiculous.
calling out the harold camping when we did the same thing.
john 13:4,5. got up from the evening meal and laid aside his outer garments.
and taking a towel, he wrapped it around his waist.. after that he put water into a basin and started to wash the feet of the disciples and to dry them off with the towel that was wrapped around him.. .
the wt "translates" himatia as outer garments but some other translations says just clothes.. if he were wearing just an underwear, why wrap a towel around the waist?

If he were wearing just an underwear, why wrap a towel around the waist? Usually one just wrap a towel around the waist when naked.
Even if he were in underwear it's a very strange situation...
