  Brother Mike, I dunno your story — are you a teenager? Younger maybe? You sound awfully young...
  Easily shocked yet on a site clearly against your convictions.... trying to understand.

  Who do the hell do you think you are to demande no apostates on an apostate site? You have no business to be here in the first place if you listened to your GB!

  I think maybe you are being a little too shallow with the way you look at women. You must be a very good-looking guy to demande perfect body, and put it in capital letters. Look deeper — you may find someone that doesn't expect physical perfection from you.

  JW's Unanswerable Question & Why Doesn't Everyone Take Them to Task For This?

  by Perry in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the one question that is absolutely unanswerable by jehovah's witnesses that actually understand their own doctrines is this:.

  can you show me even one new testament scripture that shows how a person can get their sins forgiven while outside of the new covenant?.

  most of us are familiar with the one proof scripture that has all the necessary elements tied together into one neat doctrine - matther 26: 27,28:.

  The JW cult has cancer, but will never acknowledge it.

  Put the music on as loud as you want and happy-dance your way in freedom. Then prepare yourself a good cocktail, find your favorite sofa, and read your book with glee!
  (maybe a hint of classical music or jazz, Ben Webster style in the background).
  Thumbs up to ya, Kate!

  by Monsieur in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  reading about the massacre of the jw family in mexico brought up all kinds of questions again.. from the standpoint of someone who doesn't in believe in 'god' or a 'conventional' god,.

  what is the meaning and purpose of evil?.

  how does it relate to the overall universe and its balance?

  Monsieur: " your ammended comment is a little confusing. are you saying that the motives for evil HAVE to be bad? however, evil itself is not bad?"
  
  No — good motives can produce evil — Patriotism comes to mind. The motives CAN be good, but the effect evil/bad.
  Evil itself is obvioulsy bad. And some people do have evil intent.

  Thanksgiving?

  by freeflyingfaerie in

  here in the u.s. of a., come one week from today, families will come together to feast in celebration of the day in 1621 when pilgrims and native americans shared feasting for three days... ...and then the natives were slaughtered and driven out of the lands in the coming years.

  i wondered if native americans themselves celebrate thanksgiving... (interesting findings out there).

  cast your votes as to whether or not i'm a freakazoid for not celebrating it!

  I don't celebrated for two reasons; one (and main one), for the same reason than you. Two, I'm vegan! :D
