So, is God a rapist!?
by stuckinarut2 inok, i apologise in advance if this seems irreverent to those who believe in god.. but, the bible says that god (jehovah) impregnated mary.
without her consent.
so that would seem to be rape...right?.

Apparently the only solution the guy who made the universe could come up with for the GIANT F-UP he created in eden.

Unwritten Theory
by moreconfusedthanever inhave any of you heard some theories from jws that are not based on scripture?
i have, in the past few days, heard a couple that have me shaking my head.. first one is that since satan was around during the creation period and probably watched on as things were being made, it is possible that he is responsible for the creation of some of the more hideous and nasty creatures that live among us.
surely god wouldn't make horrible things.. second one is that satan already had a bad attitude before the creation of adam and eve and was collecting followers among the other angels early on and stirring trouble.

Yes - EVE was SOOOOO Perfect that...
A) A talking snake did not surprise her as being strange.
B) With only 46 words from the snake - she DUMPED GOD who just made her and gave her everything.
Makes perfect sense. -

Faced with the reality of mortality
by stuckinarut2 inhow have you all coped with facing the reality of our mortality?.
most of us were raised to firmly believe we would never get old or die... so here we are now having to face the reality that are getting older... we are going to die.. sometimes it really pisses me off that we were never helped to comprehend this most basic of facts.
we were given a utopian dream as a "fact", and hence never taught how to face our inevitable futures.... thoughts?.

Asking for help with wife
by Are you serious inhello everyone, my wife wants nothing to do with my awakening.

Are you going to meetings? How did you first tell her?
When you come out big time up front, its gonna be hard.
It is always better to help lead them to think on things with breadcrumbs.The "I dont know how this fits" or "why would this change again" or "this doesnt seem like something jesus would do" ... "what do you think" questions.

My question is - what do you do after that 72?
Forever is a long time, if virgins are so worth dying for, what do you do on day 73?

Darwin's lack of evidence
by Half banana inwhile making bread this morning and between answering the door and phone calls, i listened on steam radio to the programme in our time with melvyn bragg.
his panel of experts explained how the discovery of thousands of bird fossils has revolutionised our perception of avian evolution.
i recall watchtower literature smugly presenting darwin’s admissions in his origin of the species that the geological evidence for bird evolution is “imperfect” in fact missing.

How long will it be before the JW organisation become honest with information and publicly admit that they have been wrong in so many things including evolution?
Ah... NEVER!
