  A Nut or Criminals Will Always Find A Way To Kill Or Hurt Someone If They Want To

  by minimus in

  for the record, i don't think a person should be able to use "assault weapons" or "machine guns" or "rocket launchers".

  i do think guns should be allowed.

  but certainly not everyone is "qualified" to use a firearm.. even if you legally, rightfully can have a weapon, it doesn't mean that a "kook" wouldn't steal it and use it in a nefarious way.. i am convinced that you could take licenses away from drinkers and they still could get behind the wheel and wreak havoc.. you could ban switchblades and gun silencers and people will still find a way to quickly slice you up or muffle a sound.. you could ban or try to curtail cough medicines and people will still find a way to get high.. we cannot, government cannot---control what people will do.

  Survey: Who here is an atheist? Who here still believes in God?

  by Christ Alone in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i just wanted to take a survey.

  let's not let this get into the same old same old debate of atheism vs belief.

  just respond with "atheist" or "believer" or "maybe god exists".

  One Silly Little Comma = WT Idiocy

  by Farkel in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  one would think that the god of gods, the creator of everything who wanted to give we puny little humans a handbook for salvation(tm), would make sure that handbook remained authentic.. one who thinks that way would be wrong.. since punctuation is critical to convey exact meanings, i find it strange that the god of gods would pick a written language for his handbook that has no punctuation!

  oh, wait!

  he also picked another language for that book that had no written vowels!

  Help With Bible Chronology Please

  by Yan Bibiyan in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  my question revolves around prophecies.. believers will claim that one of the sure signs of the divinity of the bible is that it predicts events hundreds/thousands of years before the events actually occuring.. from a more pragmatic viewpoint, a prophecy is a prophecy if it was predicted and documented ahead of the events in question.. the oldest known copies of biblical texts aare the death sea scrolls, dated from what i understand somewhere between 200bc-100 bc.. is there anything in the scrolls (not other books of the bible, but in the few biblical texts in the actual scrolls) that points to historically confirmed events postdating the scrolls?.

  in other words, are there biblical prophecies written on paper (or whatever medium) that:.

  a. can be confirmed to have been written prior to the predicted event - by means of radiological dating or other scientific metod, and.

  IF cornered, what 2 or 3 examples of error in JW teaching would you point out?

  just curious about this.

  if - if you were cornered by elders or family or even an outsider who was curious, what two or three things would you use to point out why you no longer accept "the truthtm"?

  (an exercise, not a factual situation).

  Will the WT stats take a dive in 2014?

  by Aussie Oz in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  while looking through stas charts on jwfacts i notice two charts of publishers through the years.. on them, it is very clear that growth fell off the chart after 1975 and dropped dramaticaly again at 2000.. we know why for 75 and remember that many understood the big a to come by 2000.. will 2014 mark a subconscious and hopefully conscious psychological reaction from jws and 'interested' ones i wonder?.

  Heaven and Hell : Life after death

  by bioflex in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i am starting this topic to discuss the title.

  i know many people on this forums dont believe in the idea of god , and even jw's reject the idea of a fiery hell even though the bible clearly states is.. this video contain testimonies osome people who even considered themselves as atheists until the point of practical death.. i just want to emphasize what one person said in the video at the point of death - " what if god is real, and what if all that which was being said about god was true" .

  hope this helps whoever it may.. and one more thing, no matter what you do or how you live your life, just know that even at the point of death, jesus christ is able to save.
