  Mormons vs. Jehovah's Witnesses

  by Downtowner in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  forgive me if this has been covered before but i haven't seen anything about it recently.. in exploring the two faiths, mormons vs. jehovah's witnesses, which were both founded in the 1800s with the mormons being slightly a slightly older religion it seems mormons is a more attractive religion than jehovah's witnesses.

  do not get me wrong, i'm not looking at joining the mormon church.

  but i still enjoy studying other faiths and different belief systems.

  Witness007:

  Actually the angel Moroni never took the gold tablets back. He instructed JS to bury them and to this day they have not been found despite the area in which they were supposedly burried being heavily excavated for housing and businesses. And all those so-called "kingdoms" which existed in the US as claimed in the BOM - not one trace ever found of them despite repeated archeological efforts.

  As for the stories in the BOM - if you thought the bible had nonsensical stories they don't hold a candle to the BOM. The only book Ive ever laughed harder at was perhaps a Douglas Adams book.

  It astounds me how people can swallow such illogical BS.

  Because some family are really duped into believing they are doing it in your best interests?
  If you really really believed you could save someone's life by not talking to them for six months.
  For many there are baser and mixed motivations of course. But in its purest form it is perhaps forgivable.

  Yes I suppose you are right. I think I'm just one of those people that can even cut off family in a heart beat if they are interfering with my life and freedom, particularly when they set conditional terms for a relationship. Perhaps my willingness to bolt at the first smell of bullshit could also be a weakness, I don't know. Maybe thats why I have so few friends and only retain the ones with whom we share a mutual respect for each other without conditions.

  WT March 15, 2016 - Kids pressured toward baptism again

  by Designer Stubble in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the study wt of march 2016 is up on jw.org and is the standard article around this time of year...pressuring young kids to dedicate their lives to the organization again.

  this wt will be studied during may, so just in time to pressure them into baptism at the regional conventions this summer.such articles really upset me, as the realization of how many young promising lives will be destroyed.

  how many families will be broken up, when the child who got baptized as a minor (ages 6 and up are mentioned in the literature) decides as a young adult that his/her conscience no longer allows him/her to be part of such a destructive cult.

  How else are they going to keep membership numbers? They're desperate to keep born-ins because they're the only members they're left with considering the poor rate of successful recruitment from outside the bOrg. Can't run a business with no income now,, can you?

  If you are DF'd are your family shunning you? Then why bother going back and puting up with the stress and bullshit for people who demonstrate the most severe case of conditional love for you? I dont get why people want to be around family who treat them in a way not even strangers would.

  So ... Russia and Nato at war? Should we be worried?

  by Simon in

  1. social
  2. current

  it seems unbelievable but turkey (a nato member state) shooting down a russian jet fighter on their syrian border seems to be "meh" news and no one is too bothered about it too much.. the world seems a bit upside down right now.

  i don't think a lot of countries really know who the hell they are fighting and who is and isn't on their side in it all and really what is going on.. smaller incidents than this have led to major conflicts in the past but hopefully calm heads will prevail.

  china shot down a us spy plane years ago and the world survived and forgot about it so things will move on i'm sure.. i'm guessing the price turkey pays for their gas supply from russia will be going up soon though.. man, that republican primary is sucking all the news attention from the room.

  Kaik:

  Excellent points.

  Turkey is playimg a dangerous game. They intend to pursue their own interests in Syria While betting that Russia will back down because of Turkey's NATO membership. Once again Putin's determination to make a play at Russia being a global power again is being underestimated. Russia may not have the claws it did during the Cold War, but it still has enough teeth to demand global respect and Putin knows it. Turkey is being reckless and a dangerous liability to NATO. They have ultimately played right into Putin's hand and given Putin a justifiable (in his view with consent of the Syrian government) foothold on Syrian airspace. I can gurantee you ISIS are very pleased with this development.

  Disco Sucks!

  by professor in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  does anyone remember how the society joined the "disco sucks" movement of the late 70's?

  i remember reading in the mags about how disco was created by homos and that it has an "immoral beat" (whatever that means!

  ) it was also mentioned not to go see "saturday night fever" because someone gets a blowjob in the movie.. in our congregation, we had a special meeting about disco because people would request disco songs at our once-a-month jw skating party at the local skating rink.

  I dont remember the anti-disco sentiment, but I do remember the psycho-babble warnings of Watching Saturday Night Fever in the congregation.

  JW message becoming more and more relevant

  by lsw1961 in

  2. beliefs

  mans requirements are limited which can be satisfied with a little and tension-free endeavor..

  however man attempts not only to collect but also to grab and amass everything to the excess.

  somehow he feels that he can be happy only when he has in abundance whereas others have nothingwhich seems to be the thread that runs throughout the history.

  Cofty: a beautiful, well reasoned and presented debate on your part. John wont be back but I'd love to see other Christians tackle your point on John's behalf.
