wikipedia article on jehovah's witnesses:satanjehovah's witnesses believe that satan was originally a perfect angel who developed feelings of self-importance and craved worship.
satan influenced adam and eve to disobey god, and humanity subsequently became participants in a challenge involving the competing claims of jehovah and satan to universal sovereignty.
other angels who sided with satan became demons.jehovah's witnesses teach that satan and his demons were cast down to earth from heaven after october 1, 1914, at which point the end times began.
Listen....
If there was a Satan, a powerful and vastly old spirit creature, he would be amazingly smart, right?
So when JC came to Earth, all Satan would have to do to Thwart gods plan was to PROTECT JC at every turn.
If he kept him alive, there would have been NO sacrifice. God would have failed.
So either this super powerful creature was really stupid, or its a made up story.
Which is more likely?
was on the bus today and got into a discussion somehow with the driver and ok be ood his work colleagues about whether there's life in other planets, evolution and creation.
the driver believes there must be other life out there, i agree with him that life can't be unique to this planet out of the billions that exist.
his colleague who i think might be a jw by his attitude and reasoning skills thinks we're the only planet with life on it and it was made perfect and exact purposely for humans.
Where did god come from?
You have no issue not knowing that, but you have an issue with not knowing where the universe came from.
god lives in Heaven with all his good peeps now, right?
Did Heaven exist forever?
Did god build heaven?
If he did, why, was he unhappy?
When did he build heaven?
god made all the little angels.
Why? Was he unhappy alone?
If he was, how long did he wait to make them?
Was he unhappy alone for a long time?
Why did he wait so long to make them?
god has been around forever?
If he was, how did we ever get to now?
If he was around for an eternity before us, how could we ever get to now?
Dont say god made time, that is a silly answer.
Was there a time before he made heaven?
Was there time between making JC and the other angels?
Was there a time between each angle being made?
Was there time between the last angel and the universe being made?
they seem to be rebelling by studying every aspect of the military behind their mother's back.
i tell them to keep their noses clean and become coasties if they must trod that path.
is this par for the course?.
I love the Army when I was a kid.
Loved war movies, John Wayne.
Loved building model planes and tanks and ships.
Kinda a guy thing I think.

PLEASE, SOMEONE, READ A BOOK before taking sides on very important and yes, complicated science!!!
The BIG BANG was NNNNOOOOOTTTT an Explosion!!!!
Realy take at least 10 minutes to get some facts and try an understand the basics with Evolution and the Big Bang - which by the way HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH EACH OTHER!
whether you like him or not.... it doesn’t matter.

How many talks have you heard where the "elder" or in the WT says something like...
"Everywhere science has looked, they have not found life."
That's like going to the shore with a teaspoon, sticking it in the ocean, looking at it and saying - this planet must not have wales in it since I see none in this teaspoon.
P.S. to what Cofty will say probably. The Earth is trying to kill us all the time. We would die of exposure or drowning on about 80% of the earths surface without some form of protection or shelter.
He may elaborate on other points.

YES!
did you see the performance of stephen lett on august broadcasting?.
the illustration of painting the kingdom hall?.
used for explaining that you have to listen to elders even when they are totaly wrong?.
To see the same horrible tactic, watch this part of the DC Friday morning.
Just 4 min from where I have it starting. (start at the 14th min)
CONTROL CONTROL CONTROL - CULT CULT CULT.
the following is the talk of the assembly followed by my 15 minutes commentary.i have included part of my notes below which i used for the commentary .
what is the hailstone message?.

Rattigan - yea I was there.

I know you can tend to look at stuff like this as a clown saying stupid stuff.
But this "paint" example is very dangerous and the very aggressive psychological control strategy campaign that they are waging.
Durin the 1st talk on this year's District Convention, they did the same thing.
They use require obedience to them on things way out of bounds for them to even dream of.
At the 1st DC talk, they spent a lot of time telling the audience that they NEED to be in their seats during lunch (yes during lunch) for the music video thing that runs before Lunch is over.
Not only that they made it know that if someone should want to talk to you during the music thing, that you should make them feel bad that they are not sitting listening.
So you now dont have the right to do what you want during the STATED LUNCH period.
All about CONTROL CONTROL CONTROL. Not just about bible things, but about ANYTHING.
This is a very dangerous trend that will affect any of our Still In family.
