  My Explanation of God.

  by LAWHFol in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i am a theist & this is my version of god.. instead of using the term god, i'll use "unseen presence".. this unseen presence, is perfect in every way.

  this presence is so perfect it can seem a bit boring.this perfection can be seen in the laws of science, for example gravity.. it does not sometimes work, depending on the mood of some one in the sky, it always works, perfectly.

  gravity does not get angry and decide to stop working, and cause the death of innumerable living beings, it just works, through thick or thin, it is reliable.. what allows this unseen presence to remain perfect, is the fact that it does not act based on emotion, or strategy or regret.. it acts based on law, mathematical law.. this unseen presence is not partial to jews or muslims or jw's it is completely impartial at all times, to everything that exists.

  Proof of Hitler's conscience is that even though he was mean to the Jews, at least he was nice to blonde Germans. Brilliant!

  Show me a Man that can Hurt Another Man, without any Remorse EVER and I will show you a Man that cannot Love EVER.

  It's almost as if LAWHFol has never heard of serial killers and nazis.

  Does it matter WHERE? The important fact is that the Watchtower is giving elders instructions to destroy evidence. No matter where it is taking place, the Watchtower is still trying to cover-up child abuse and save their butts in court, Period!

  I'm pretty sure they're required to destroy these notes by the Data Protection Act. Child Abuse evidence is handled with the blue envelopes and is exempt from these rules, if I recall from another thread.

  Let's not over-sensationalize things for the sake of controversy. There is plenty of other evidence that the society tries to cover things up. At worst, this document is a thin thread of evidence of ill intent and lurkers may see this and ignore the rest of the evidence because of the overreaction on our part.

  Lets deal with hard, tangible evidence...like the ARC evidence. It's a waste of time to blow this document out of proportion when the support for it having anything to do with child abuse is tenuous.

  When we hurt another person, we feel bad. - We shouldn't hurt people.
  When we lie to another person, we feel wrong - We Shouldn't Lie.
  When we overindulge in mostly anything, we feel bad - We should practice moderation.
  When we impose our Beliefs on another person, that person doesn't like being around us - We shouldn't impose our view on others.
  All that we need to know, we already know.. We just need to Slow Down, and quiet our minds.

  Who is "we"? I know people that hurt other people and don't feel bad. I know people that lie to other people and don't feel bad. I know people that overindulge in things and don't give a flying f*ck. I know people that impose their beliefs on other people, and some of those other people let it happen and enjoy it. I know people that need to know more than what they already know.

  So again, I ask, who is this "we" you're talking about? Do you have a mouse in your pocket?

  over on the silentlambs facebook site is a copy of a document that purports to be an order by the service depart to destroy files relating to child molestation cases: https://www.facebook.com/silentlambs/photos/a.571978169529812.1073741826.144752662252367/970409503020008/?type=3&theater.

  This document was posted on this forum days ago and there is a good thread explaining that it was only for the UK and instituted in 2000 to comply with the Data Protection Act. Abuse files are handled separately and not destroyed and sealed in blue envelopes. Personal notes on abuse cases can be kept in that envelope. Read the thread, it brings clarity and focus as to what genuine issues may be, not a panic that all documents regarding child sex abuse are being destroyed.

  This is so true.

  The overreaction and sensationalization of this document is embarrassing.

  Evolution and Creation—both are stories!

  by lsw1961 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  there are number of nobel laureates and other great scientists in both the camps defending their respective theories of evolution and creation, which means both are just stories, and both suffer from having no eye-witnesses.

  if either of them were true, all scientists would have accepted it unanimously as they do with rest of the laws such as law of gravity..

  this does not mean that there is no god.

  There are plenty of times when the press reports on the arrest and charging of individuals before the trial.

  It's not getting a lot of play in the press for some reason. My source says that some congregation members are standing by him, going so far as to vouch for his character.

  by EdenOne in

  recently ive posted on fb a meme where a two pairs of hands held open a bible and the quram side by side.

  then i wrote on it:.

  (faith + fundamentalism) x (hate + propaganda) = legitimation of intolerance and violence.

  Headline: "Islamic Invasion: Europe now scrambles for guns." How true is this?

  by cappytan in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  a year to a year and a half ago, i would have taken this article at face value and believed it.. now, i realize this article comes from a dubious source.

  world news daily has a die-hard right-wing bias.

  so, in an effort to get real information, i'm asking my european exjw's, is this article all true?
