  Contradictions!

  by Freedom rocks in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  quite regularly at meetings jws mocked worldly people and apostates(anyone who had left the "truth") for saying the bible contradicts itself when it is in complete harmony from beginning to end apparently.

  can anyone point out some of the contradictions they know of?

  they used to laugh at the fact people on the doors would say the bible contradicts itself and when they asked the householder to show them where, they couldn't..

  What JWs do right, and what they do wrong.

  by pleaseresearch in

  so tonight i'm going to be having a chat with my brother and hes asked me what my thought are on the above question.. i could be wrong with what im about to say but i do think the door to door ministry is one thing they are doing right.

  i think the cart work on the other hand is wrong.

  just today i saw two sisters sat next to their cart with people going by.

  I dont get how JW dont get that where Blood Fractions come from and how the violate the "standards" that JWs believe are in the bible.

  6 But you must not eat the blood;x you should pour it out on the ground like water

  what are your views on the golden ratio or fibonacci sequence?

  i know jws and some other groups use this as proof of gods existence.

  i'm still looking into the debate but was wondering what others thought.

  jwfacts - as we all know as former JWs - people can bend and twist whatever into whatever so-called proof they want.

  Comes down to - no one wants to go out of existence - so people of all religions rationalize the most stupidest things to reinforce that there is a future for them no matter what.

  Water on Mars (Possibly life)

  by pleaseresearch in

  2. bible

  this has been an interesting story in the news recently.. just thinking, if in a few years time they drill down and discover water on mars and also some form of life.

  does that for you destroy the bible in anyway?.

  I am a designer and I use that principle all the time in design. Has nothing to do with god.

  Its like how when it comes to visuals and say slogans or taglines - groups of 3 work best with the human mind.

  i.e. Just Do It. I'm loving it. Imagination at work. Every Little Helps. Finger lickin' good. Taste the rainbow. Snap Crackle Pop.

  BIG WARNING ALL - The human mind finds patterns even when they are not there. I.E. seeing Elvis in a piece of toast. THIS IS A GIANT PLUS as a result of evolution, and it is a GIANT NEGATIVE because that's why we have superstition and the persistence of religion.

  Listen to this its good: https://www.scientificamerican.com/podcast/episode/brain-seeks-patterns-where-none-exi-08-10-03/

  FYI: Did you know that when it comes to Beauty, and this works in all cultures. The people we generally feel are the most beautiful are mathematically the MOST AVERAGE.

  If you take a million faces - and digitize the size and location of all features, the AVERAGE of all those are the people we feel are the most beautiful. I thought that was very interesting.

  No new releases? How are the r&f taking this?

  by purrpurr in

  is it true that there's been no new releases at this summer's convention?

  if so it will be the first convention in decades perhaps ever to not produce at least a new tract.. how are the r&f explaining this to eachother?

  surely they must have noticed the absence?

  Remember how the LAST international convention was "gonna be a historic event that you would talk about in the new system".

  Remember getting together and making little crap tchotchke bags for all the "friends" from abroad.

  Remember how it was going to be LIFE CHANGING????
  
  Yea I don't either, it was actually one of the worst DCs ever and were at the main one in the States.

  I dont know, somehow the WT has figured out how to create Mass Amnesia year by year.

  Jehovah`s Witnesses Do Not Have a Clergy Class.

  by smiddy3 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  no , they have the governing body { some would say the popes of the religion }.

  and you do not under any circumstance go against what they say./ .

  they also have branch overseers , district overseers .circuit overseers , and elders in a congregation .. they are all up and above the rank and file of the average ordinary jehovah`s witness and they are looked upon as such by the rank and file member as equivalent to a clergy class.. oh and lets not forget the legal department that has a lot to say in how the jehovah`s witness organization responds to allegations of child sexual abuse around the world.. and when an allegation arises about child sexual abuse the w.t.

  As a prominent Elder - I felt like I was part of a clergy class.

  I got perks - I got tons of adulation - I got treated very different.

  Just no money:)

  Do Circuit Overseers outrank Elders? Why can't they talk to disfellowshipped people?

  by garyneal in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  last sunday, our family went to the kingdom hall and i realized that this was the week that the circuit overseer was in town.

  when we sat down, i noticed he came over and talked to her then he walked away i guess to talk to others.

  a few minutes later, he returned to tell her that he could not talk to her because he was informed that she was disfelloshipped.

  They do (of course they do without a question, anyone who says different is completely wrong) - and they can talk to DFed people, so can elders.

  What makes you think otherwise?
