  the purpose of the flood, because man grieved him to.

  his heart, so he started over.

  did his plan work?

  The flood myth begins to crumble with just the slightest bit of critical thinking. How did Noah preach to those in the Americas?

  Finally! -- Why the WTS Discourages Higher Education

  by Recovery in

  i'm sure many of you have been wondering why the wts has stuck to it's adamant viewpoint of higher education.

  let's settle it once and for all.

  this will prove conclusively why it's in young people's best interests to avoid higher education.. candace conti has inspired hundreds, perhaps thousands of young girls across america to successfully take on the wts.

  Recovery, a lot of people might not like your presence on this forum, but I just want to thank you for your contributions. There are many lurkers that read this forum but don't have the courage to post. I can't think of a better "witness" you could give your religion than to come on here and defend a convicted child molester.

  Cats and Dogs should not be spayed or neutered!

  by IMHO in

  2. friends

  a controversial subject that hasn't been talked about here for 10 years (or so it seems on my quick search).. .

  i think it's wrong to spay or neuter.

  i bet most of you will disagree.. my vet just called me an irresponsible owner for refusing to have my cat spayed..

  IMHO, you made a claim without supporting it. In your opinion why is it wrong to spay or neuter cats and dogs?

  This is actually a great topic for discussion. Most people aren't aware of how hard on the ecosystem feral cats can be.

  the yearbook of american and canadian churches statistics listed the jehovah's witnesses as the fastest growing christian group in the us for 4 years in a row (the 2008-2011 yearbooks).

  the 2011 yearbook reported a 4.37% growth rate (based on 2010 membership figures).

  according to the 2012 yearbook, the growth of the jehovah's witnesses was 1.85%, falling into 4th place.

  A group that forces its followers to actively recruit new members is growing? I'm shocked.

  Thank you for pointing out that the Assemblies of God church was the fasting growing church last year, despite the fact that they don't recruit on such a massive scale as the Watchtower. Surely that must mean something! I'm going to go run out and attend their church. Maybe it's the one "true" religion!

  Obama, Head said, will "try to give the sovereignty of the United States away to the United Nations. What do you think the public's going to do when that happens? We are talking civil unrest, civil disobedience, possibly, possibly civil war. ... I'm not talking just talking riots here and there. I'm talking Lexington, Concord, take up arms, get rid of the dictator. OK, what do you think he is going to do when that happens? He is going to call in the U.N. troops, personnel carriers, tanks and whatever."

  Head vowed to personally stand "in front of their personnel carriers and say, 'You're not coming in here.' And I've asked the sheriff. I said, 'Are you going to back me on this?' And he said, 'Yeah, I'm going to back you.' Well, I don't want a bunch of rookies back there who have no training and little equipment. I want seasoned veteran people who are trained that have got equipment. And even then, you know we may have two or three hundred deputies facing maybe a thousand U.N. troops. We may have to call out the militia."

  Jehovah's Snitches

  by Gnosis in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  do members of a congregation usually snitch on each other for "sinful behaviour" a fellow member is caught doing ?.

  like smoking for example.

  how common is this snitching in the name of jehovah and is it encouraged by elders or in propaganda works ?.

  A key issue to note is that in a Cult what is truly defined as a "sin" is determined by the leaders of the Cult.

  So for example in the Jehovah's Witnesses, if someone questions or disagrees with the leaders of the group (the Governing Body), that would be considered a sin and failing to report the sin would make a person eligible for God's wrath at Armageddon (according to the Governing Body).
