Scully; I f-ing hate them for ruining family relationships like that
Fucking. The word you really want to type is 'fucking' Scully. I guarantee you'll feel so much better for using it. I'll join you in fact; "I fucking hate that cult for ruining so many family relationships."
Gently purgative? Fuck yeah.
when i was a jw i did and still enjoy visiting old churches and cathedrals because of the history and amazing architecture of these wonderful old buildings.
a sister in my old congregation regaled us with a story of a visit to the tower of london and walking up this crowded narrow staircase only to discover it led to an old chapel.
the way she described her horror at almost entering you would have thought they were doing human sacrifices.
I'm as atheist as it gets but there are a couple of village churches nearby I have visited occasionally - only when there is no service though. They are calm, tranquil and an escape from modernity.
I'll sit for maybe 15 or 20 minutes and then get on with my day. I am undoubtedly misusing the church but I don't mean any disrespect - I'm in the believers space after all.
Nothing will ever bring me back to faith but that doesn't mean I can't see value in these spaces which are still largely insulated from the rude clatter of life.
uh oh, looks like the mega thread gave up the ghost, so while i investigate / fix it just continue the discussion here .... it's been a long 9 years lloyd evans / john cedars.
Andrew was surely quacking in his boots.
The phrase is "quaking in his boots" but I honestly prefer your version! 😅

Halcon: I suppose JW can interpret scriptures any way they want, but sometimes they really stretch it and go out on a limb.
It's not the JW's fault, it's the source material. Taking several steps back and observing Christians debating and disagreeing on interpretations of scripture you soon realise what the real problem is. No-one is rooted in reality, it's all a house of cards, sandcastles, pie in the sky.
april 11, 2024 (source: jw.org) .
first half of the book of hebrews (study edition) now available online.
the first half of the bible book of hebrews (chapters 1-7) is now available in the study edition of the new world translation of the holy scriptures on jw.org and in jw library.
In other words, God NOW speaks through his Son
Couldn't ask him to speak up a bit could you?

Jeffro: Where do people get this incorrect notion that it’s not taught anymore??
I don't think anyone is denying that it is taught (like a hoop to jump through or a box to tick) but I think the consensus is that no-one cares about it.

Scholar JW: The fact is that despite the numerous charts, books on chronology, and academic journal articles no scholar today knows the precise date for the fall except Jehovah's Witnesses by means of those 'celebrated' WT scholars.
Total bellend. Deserves to be ignored.

Serious consideration was presented to the Jehovah's Witnesses in the form of C.O.J's well researched book. It's been discussed here ad-nauseum. The KISS method by Alleymom (use the search function) absolutely killed 607.
There's no excuse for indulging your wilful ignorance 'Scholar'.

Scholar JW: all that you have done is pushed your agenda on 587 without giving any serious consideration to the alternative - 586 BCE.
So should we give serious consideration to homeopathy as an alternative to real medicine? Should creationists be invited into biology classes to present the alternative to established evolutionary principles?
You're an idiot.
