friends

Watchtower has a way of ruining marriages.

Jabba did this all by himself. He'd love everyone to agree with you so that he can pass at least some of the blame elsewhere but the reality is he was cheating on his wife. Lying, cheating, manipulating and publicly degrading his wife.

Did I miss anything?

God won't lift a finger to help you.

sea breeze: @nicolau,i stated my case rather succiently, which you failed to address.

if you have a better solution to the problem of evil than what jesus offers, then why don't you present that in a new topic?.

pathetic diversion.

According to his post history blondie he stopped posting the day after his last post on this topic. That's over two weeks ago.

I berated him often but still, hope he's ok.

Hmm, anyone know what's happened to Sea Breeze?

Jehovah’s Witnesses or Jesus Witnesses?

by Vanderhoven7 in

keith writes.

you have just touched on a flawed doctrinal belief that is foundational to false religion.. first, it is important to understand what false religion means when they call themselves jehovah’s witnesses.

by this, they declare themselves to be “witnesses of the father” despite the fact that jehovah is not the name of god at all, but a concoction of human origin from the dark ages.. here is the flaw:.

Vanderhoven: Is it even possible for ANYONE to be a witness of the Father?The answer to that from the Bible is No!

Jesus said to Philip "He who has seen me has seen the Father"

Alien: Romulus

by nicolaou in

i never start topics like this normally but this has really wound me up.

romulus is getting great reviews and i just don't understand it.

it was predictable, formulaic fanfiction.. it brought nothing new, quite the opposite in fact.

I never start topics like this normally but this has really wound me up. Romulus is getting great reviews and I just don't understand it. It was predictable, formulaic fanfiction.

It brought nothing new, quite the opposite in fact. The first four movies gave us Ripley's arc, Prometheus and Covenant would have brought us full circle with a more cerebral development of the central themes and origins of the whole story.

For 60 year olds like me who watched Alien in the cinema as a stunned teenager in 1979 that was so rewarding but now we've been robbed of the final prequel because audiences with modern attention spans can't handle 10 minutes without an action scene.

Romulus sucked.

What if JWs voted in elections?

by Las Malvinas son Argentinas in

all this political banter is exhausting, so i want to ask a question that has probably been asked before, so here it goes….

let’s try to keep this non-partisan - just give your opinion and why you think that way.. i’ll go first.

i think jws would generally lean to the right, but not by a whole lot.

We also discussed the stupidity of believing caring for sick and elderly is communism. Everyone knows there is no way to make money insuring the sick and elderly, and that a civilized society must share that burden knowing our turn is coming.

Ever read something you wish you'd written yourself? This was perfect from you and your Dad peacefulpete 👍

Thought For the Day - for PIMI JW's

by BoogerMan in

which name does the evil faithful slave's literature demand that you focus on - jehovah or jesus?.

do jesus & the bible agree with the org's obsession with the name 'jehovah', or was jesus just being presumptuous?

(matthew 10:22) and you will be objects of hatred by all people on account and whoever receives one such young child on the basis of my name receives me.... (matthew 18:20) for where there are two or three gathered together in my name, there i am in their midst.”.

Dump the Bible. Free your minds.

JWlite can be the purple pill

by Teddnzo in

i really like the red pill analogy in the matrix.

the one guy wishes he didn’t take the red pill and would have preferred to take the blue pill.. many used to be pimi which is the blue pill and then they wake up to the fact that the gb are not who they claim to be which is taking the red pill.. they go through conflict and confusion as to what to believe now?

does god exist?

What a sad and disheartening perspective. You're actually endorsing a life of hypocrisy.

LET'S HELP JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES TO LOVE APOSTATES

by Terry in

simple application of logic to scripture interpretation:.

if two terms mean the same thing it should not change the meaning to exchange one word for the other.. first, jesus lays the foundation for us.

let us read.. luke 6:27-37 "but i say to you who are listening, continue to love your enemies , to do good to those hating you, to bless those cursing you, to pray for those who are insulting you.

nicolaou

Fundamentalist Christians often behave the same way towards atheists. They'll mock, insult, make false accusations and refuse to actually engage with the debate.

There are plenty of them in this forum, even in this topic.
