  Proof of Predation 750 000 000 Years Ago

  by cofty in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  paleontologists have discovered the cause of small holes that have frequently been observed in ancient eukaryote fossils.

  please check out the source even if you only look at the amazing picture.... they were being sucked dry by other predatory species.. forget about a "fall" from a disneyesque utopia.

  creatures have been consuming each other since the very beginning of life.. reality is far more exciting than fantasy.

  Welcome River song, thanks for writing your experience of growing up as a JW. Ordinary life can be difficult enough without having religious zealots getting you to conform to their absurd demands.

  Oh! the joy of not being a Jehovah’s Witness!

  @Amelia Ashton, yes; It happened invisibly! How many more times can they successfully use this ploy?

  I await the announcement that Armageddon and paradise did arrive back in 1975 when the governing body began to rule on Earth.

  just returned from a funeral service for the (non-jw) husband of a jw in a funeral home.

  it was rather crowded.

  no jw discourse.

  A really important funeral which must have taken a lot of time counting was at that of the celebrated and illustrious, God appointed president, our cherished and most beloved Joseph Franklin Rutherford. There were four at his funeral not counting the corpse.

  New Watchtower Propaganda and hate speech destroying families (Feb 2016 WT)

  by Daniel1555 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the following is a paragraph from the new february study watchtower article "learn from jehovah's loyal servants.".

  7 a conflict of loyalties may arise when a close relative is disfellowshipped.

  for example, a sister named anne [1] received a telephone call from her disfellowshipped mother.

  Dunedain, I agree with what you say; the GB are desperate, their deceptions are unravelling under the spotlight of the information revolution. They are bleeding money and members.

  Their response measures are aimed at retaining as many members they can by praising their loyalty to Jehovah. This particular deception is interesting because what they actually mean when they threaten "Stay with Jehovah" is obey us and remain a blind slave under the governing body's total control. "Jehovah" has been promoted insidiously to become a cypher for the GB in the minds of the flock.

  for the next two weeks, wt will attempt to lay the basis for their imitation "faith" by discussing the "imitate their faith" book, chapter on the flood.

  a golden opportunity to share faith strengthening details with your believing friends.

  I'm glad they are looking at the Biblical flood because if there is one obviously crass fairy tale in the Bible it is this one. There is no physical evidence for it and it could not have happened!

  To believe this myth in today's more enlightened world makes the Bible believer look like a real twit.

  They should be waking up in their droves when they think about this subject.

  Sam, welcome to the site. What a fix you were in! I'm glad you are seeing the reality of the Watchtower organisation that is only interested in its own survival and that its teachings are false.

  You can now breathe freely and begin to live like a natural human being!

  Mid - Week Meeting This Week

  by xjwsrock in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  millie210 posted this on another thread - i thought it deserved it's own op:.

  i took an elderly friend to the meeting last night.

  the study is in the "imitate their faith" book which is merely a compilation of previous short stories about bible characters that were featured in a series of watchtower articles.. they waste no time beginning their spinning and supposition with the cain/abel story.

  I like the sound of all this.

  The flame has gone out at HQ. No money in the bank therefore no holy spirit! No sparkle in the writing, just the same old tired re-heated and stale food from yesterday.

  Keep it up Watchtower!

  Just to add to make my last comment relevant...and therefore we don't need to invoke a magical sky god to account for our being alive.
