  "We Already Forgive Him" - What Does That Mean?

  by cofty in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the children of one of yesterday's shooting have told the media that they have already forgiven the killer for what he did.. dylaan roof has not apologised for what he did.

  he hates black people and probably regrets not killing even more.. what does it really mean to forgive?.

  if the legal system asked the victims relatives what they want done next would they ask for dylaan to go free and unpunished?.

  I haven't read all four pages of to thread, so hopefully I'm not repeating someone else's two cents. . . . . .

  I don't believe in forgiveness, at least not in the Christian sense.

  It's a "one-size-fits-all" type of nonsense.

  Car cuts in front of me in the morning commute: I forgive you.

  You are a Ministerial Servant who molested three children: I forgive you.

  You cheated me out of my change when I paid for lunch: I forgive you.

  You shot my dearest loved one to death: I forgive you.

  I actually feel no need to forgive over any of these things, but I'm not going to jump all over someone for a bad move on the highway or that you made the wrong change at the deli.

  The problem is that religions treat all of these "sins" as the same thing.

  Any rational person should realize they aren't.

  Children of murdered Charleston minister have "already forgiven" their Mother's killer.

  i'm not judging these poor young people, if this is how they are coping with the trauma of losing their mum i can only wish them well.

  i have to admit though that my jaw dropped when i first saw this interview, i couldn't square their reaction with what i understand as 'normal' human grief.. is this religiously motivated form of forgiveness a positive thing?

  should i acknowledge this as something to be said in favour of religion?.

  Problems with Common Atheist Arguments

  by FusionTheism in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the reason i entitled this "problems with common atheist arguments" instead of "the case against atheism" is that many atheists claim that atheism is not a belief system, makes no claims, and has no requirements to follow, so there's no way to argue against atheism itself.

  i will go along with this idea, and argue against the most frequently used arguments of atheists instead of atheism itself.disclaimer # 1: this is not an argument against atheism or all atheists.

  no, rather this is an argument against the most frequently used claims and arguments made by the atheists i speak to on twitter.

  The OP -- as exhaustive as it is -- overlooks the biggest problem with atheism. .. .

  That being:

  With atheism, beer and music have no meaning.

  Best,

  Ah yes, a sign the End is close.

  Twenty or so years ago you could walk past a bar or club in Brooklyn and witness a shooting or stabbing.

  Now, you walk past a club and there's a pageant for hipsters with small dicks (sponsored by Stella Artois)

  This world is going right down the toilet. Good thing the GB escaped before it's too late.

  I had breakfast with 50+ JWs on Sunday

  by zimunzucz in

  we pulled into a hotel parking lot saturday around 6pm on the return leg of a wonderful family vacation to new england - an then fate stepped in---a man in a suit got out of a car with the rest of a picture perfect family.

  i immediately noticed all the name tags--- and my blood pressure spiked 50pts- damn!!

  i was booked in a 4 story hotel full of jws-- the only time they took off the name tags was in the swimming pool- they were so proud of themselves.. at 6:30 am the hot water went cold in the wife's shower- what do you expect on the 4th floor when a herd of jws is trying to get ready at the same time?

  Well, yes: it is true that oranges make you gay.

  But, you may accept orange fractions in the form of orange juice (without pulp, of course) or combined with vanilla ice cream in the form a Creamsicle pop. 😎😉

  near the top of page 15 in the april 15, 2015 watchtower shows a photo of the malawi congress party card made the center of jws being severely persecuted in malawi in the 60s, 70s and 80s.

  the lie is furthered in this watchtower article is that the whole issue was over jws refusing to involve themselves in politics.

  readers who want to know the whole story of what caused this persecution are invited to consider evidence in the following article presentations: .
