  LURKERS: Is JW the only true religion? Here is my personal research!

  by mentallyfree31 in

  are jehovah's witnesses the only religion teaching the truth?.

  the statement that only jehovah's witnesses are teaching the truth is an extraordinary claim.

  such a claim would require extraordinary evidence.

  How many gods are there?

  by jgnat in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  christianity was birthed in a polytheistic world, inheriting from jewish roots the concept of one g-d. now, instead of one god for israel, we are offered one god for the whole world.

  caesar (mortal men) was declared a god.

  gods had powers beyond ordinary men, could grant requests, and demanded sacrifice and worship.

  @Truthseeker: God is more female than male in that he stays in the kitchen to cook spiritual food for the worn-out masses. Lol.

  Could Christians please respond; Is there a penalty for rejecting Jesus?

  hell is pretty much out of vogue these days so if this rabid atheist decidedly turns his back on god and/or christ what will become of me?.

  @godrulz: so, you believe god created nature, but he doesn't micromanage. So, are you saying God can leave nature to "make" certain things on its own? Things like, say, mountains, he being the creator of law-writer of plate tectonics?

  @Joliette: yes, I would definitely stop. I can't bear to read a WT mag without freaking out, personally. It just isn't productive and it's anger fodder. There isn't any reason to waste your precious time listening to that crazy-ass stuff.

  God: the central question

  by ixthis in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  of all the issues affecting every person's picture of reality, nothing is more fundamental than questions about god.. is there one god, creator and sovereign of all?could there be more than one god?

  or no god at all?if there is a god (or gods), then what is that god (or gods) like?nothing determines your worldview-and the course of your life-more than how you answer those questions.

  yet some atheists like to make light of the god question.

  Hello, ixthis. While I would agree with you that the God question is one of the big, important questions in life, I have to point out that your idea of what atheists think is incorrect. I can only speek for myself, but I don't things like the origin of life as if they are nothing but blind chance. I think of them as naturally occuring. This order we see in nature isn't something objectively measurable. Structure and "design," as you would call it, are things we INFER from observation, meaning design is apparent, and we can even say it exists, yet design doesn't require a sentient all-powerful designer. Nature is good enough as a designer. You may interpret that as meaning God is in the machine, but us atheists realize that the supernatural isnt required to explain the very NATURAL world.

  A few Dawkins quotes to think about.

  by AK - Jeff in

  "faith is the great cop-out, the great excuse to evade the need to think and evaluate evidence.

  faith is belief in spite of, even perhaps because of, the lack of evidence.".

  "my last vestige of "hands off religion" respect disappeared in the smoke and choking dust of september 11th 2001, followed by the "national day of prayer," when prelates and pastors did their tremulous martin luther king impersonations and urged people of mutually incompatible faiths to hold hands, united in homage to the very force that caused the problem in the first place.".

  I listened to Ozzy and Sabbath, and that sometimes bothered my conscience. I think it opened my mind though.

  @resistance is futile: are they preaching the RIGHT message?

  are they REALLY preaching it effectively?

  Does handing out literature really help?

  Being global isn't a requirement. This one's tricky, though.

  How do you know the one true god is christian, anyway?

  Luke 10:7: please show them this. Perhaps the best one.

  I can't stand the illogical link they create between listening to a certain kind of music and becoming a completely out-of-control druggie. This has always bugged the crap out of me.
