Unstopable, do you believe God created predation? Cheetahs with their magnificent speed to hunt down their prey; lions with their huge claws, powerful bodies, and flesh-ripping teeth; or even this:

non believers what if your wrong ?
by unstopableravens ini do not wish to debate anything here like i have said in the past i have much respect for most on this forum (believers and non believers) i am simply wondering if the atheist or non god believers every worry about what if your wrong?
it seems that many who were jw for so many years attach jehovah/yahweh with the watchtower and since the wt is wrong than god does not exist.
i ask this question only because i care about people and salvation thats why i want to help as many as possable come out of this cult,and since i truly believe in god i dont know what is in the cinscience of those who dont.

5 Common Misconceptions About the Bible
by undercover ina blog on huffington post.... interesting thoughts...that mostly would go flying over the average jw's head, those that think they know the bible oh so well.... i've highlighted certain points that pertain (technically they all do, but some really stand out) to how jws view things.. my main reason for posting this is so i can find it easily later, as it'll disappear from huffpo eventually.. .

when it comes to the bible, modern americans are at a distinct disadvantage.

the structure of Noah's ark is plain to see. It is damaged by time and landslides but plain to see.

Sorry my friend. This has been thoroughly debunked before.

Does 2Thes 2:1-3 prove some of the disciples gave "false prophecies"?
by booker-t ini have mentioned a few times on this board that my jw's brother just will not let it go with me and continues to prove to me that jesus disciples and other prophets in the bible have given "false" prophecies" or "wrong expectations" concerning the end of the world.
he feels that jw's should not be condemned for their many false predictions.
as always the first thing he will tell me is that "jw's admit to their mistakes therefore we are not false prophets.

This just proves the essence of why debating the Bible is useless. It's just a book open to innumerable interpretations. Case in point, 30,000+ Christian denominations. Care to play a game of Russian roulette?

Blood Transfusions - Truly a "Sin"?
by AGuest into the household of god, israel, and those who go with... may you all have peace!.
you may have seen where i shared this before but my understanding is that it needs to be shared again... because there are those who will benefit.
i won't go into my usual tome... but only state: .

The only thing I have to add, is something someone posted somewhere else. (too many somes, lol)
Can you abstain from (noun)?
- car
- train
- house
- piano
- donkey
- cereal
- etc.
The prohibition in Acts has an implicit verb, for in what manner were Israelites told to abstain from blood? They were told to abstain from eating blood. Seems pretty simply to me. Of all the things that are a 'conscience matter', how could this one not be, especially considered their absurd fraction policy?
Regardless of 'sin' or no 'sin', which I don't even believe in anyways, its a rule that has been costly. We can never have those lives back. Yet, JWs are among the first human guinea pigs for bloodless transfusions, so should we also be thanking them for advancing this practice? I love contradictions.

If you use two spaces between sentences . . .
by compound complex insome of our writers do the above.
is it automatic formatting on your computer or do you do it deliberately?
i am interested in the whys and wherefores of how you write.

I use it. It was how I was taught in middle school typing class. Let's test the difference.
With 1 space. 1. 1. 1. 1.
With 2 spaces. 1. 1. 1. 1.
I like 2 spaces better.

Hubby pulls out this urban myth from time to time. He imagines the New World Order where he will have the chance to fill up all his brain with marvellous information...given enough millenia.

Does God's foreknowledge take away from free will?
by Christ Alone injust by knowing what will happen, that doesn't mean that we can prevent or cause something to happen.
my knowing that does not prevent them the free will of making the choice.. it's the same with god.
if god is not restricted to existence in the present, then the future is known by god because god indwells the future as well as the present and the past.

God's knowing the future forces no choice.
It seems to me like Schrodinger's cat. If you don't ask God about your personal future, he will correctly forsee it. If you were somehow able to question it, and he respond to you, you would obviously change course, just to prove God wrong, though you cannot, because God is immutable. At the end of the day, a paradox would result, and you would end up doing the very thing you set out not to do.

"Believers" vs. Atheists- Why this formulation?
by Band on the Run ini believe christ is god.
when i left the witnesses i believed i had to be agnostic.
through a scheduling conflict, i studied the new testament in college.

Such tension in your state, BOTR! Great things should be written about it. Indeed great things have been about this state you inhabit... this sentimiento trajico de la vida.
Indeed, Botch. I find myself feeling like this a lot, and nod at etude's comments as well.

Jam, you currently use 100% of your brain. We all do. The beautiful thing about plasticity is that it means your brain isn't static. It can grow and shrink in size and neural density. The day to start growing your brain is now. As we get older, our brain tends to become more 'fixed', more static. In fact, without stimulation, it begins to shrivel. We must exercise our brain, daily if possible.
Also, avoid stress, depression, anxiety, or anything that is mentally and emotionally draining.
