Shooting.....Factory in Goshen, Indiana

by dubla in

jw
friends

its not too often that this magnitude of a tragedy hits our small neck of the woods, but this one is big.

apparently a disgruntled employee burst into a factory (nu wood), and shot around 35 employees......no details on the shooter yet, or the casulties.

the factory is located in goshen, which is about 10 miles from my office here in elkhart, indiana.

I've been a lurker around this board for a while, even tho I don't have many posts. It seems like Fred is becoming what he hates. He curses more then the "worldly" folks on this board. See, he IS Darth Maul.

Why Jw's Are so Blind to the REAL TRUTH?

by disneycuty in

jw

now that i am out i have a hard time understanding why people accept these changes from the society as "new light" and than view it as "truth.".

when i remember reading the scripture that "satan blinds the minds of the unbeliever.

" i didn't know that scripture applies to jehovah's witness.

ofcmad

They are blinded to the real truth because of all the reasons why we were blinded when we were involved. It's easy to ask why - hard to find the answer.

Jehovah's Witnesses basic beliefs

by disneycuty in

jw
friends

do any of you still believe that jehovah is god or any still don't believe in hell, or trinity, or the cross?

ofcmad

When I left the JW's I had turned into "one of those born-againers". Still love God, although having a hard time calling him Jehovah due to their bad influence on His name, and now have a relationship with Christ and loving it!

Freedom.

the intellectual laziness in jh, ks & follo...

by elke in

jw
friends

the words: intellectual laziness.

recognize this trait?

ahhh,many who apostasies from the one truth, shall we say ,adopts this trait-and transforms into epitomies of intellectual laziness...they construct the premise there is no true god to mislead others...they proceed to construct arguments to support these prefabricated conclusions with the building blocks of false logic...they convince intellectually lazy individuals the odds of a creators existence are remote...a lie recognizable to any form of honest intelligence.. craig rusbult, ph.d. explains why god refuses to provide irrefutable proof in his existence on the web page http://www.asa3.org/asa/education/views/proof.htm - "although it isn't stated directly in the bible, god seems to prefer a balance of evidence: there is enough reason to believe if we want to believe, but not enough to intellectually force belief against our will.

First things first -

Elke:
I have a problem with your reasoning. When I started to read your post, I came to the same conclusion that Larc has. Then I read this:

You cannot logically reason this by referencing the proof to the author of the book.

Secondly:
Skeptic:

Let me say that I'm a "born-againer" and don't question motives of atheists. Other then moving through life, the best they can, like all of us on earth, I don't think there is some satanic motivation to "influence" others not to believe in God. If you got it, you got it. If you don't you don't. People who "lose" their "spirtuality" by becoming an athiest, didn't have one to begin with. No offense, but obviously people who became athiest, couldn't connect to a "supreme being". Facts to prove God exists, I don't have any. Proving the history of the Bible, imo, doesn't prove God exists. You can call it blind faith if you want, I call it gut feelings. No more then me having a gut feeling when I'm walking my usual beat. That's the only way that I can describe why I feel the way I do. Obviously, if you read some of my posts, you can see for yourself that I am not the most articulate soul in the universe. I'm definitely not a "sophisticated poster".

simons thread on noah and the rainbow made me remember this experience.i must have been 7 or 8 at the time.we lived on an island in the pacific ocean,and storms would come and go.our home was right on the beach so we could see what ever happened there.anyway a storm had just past and the clouds had just started to break,and the sun came peaking through.this magnificent rainbow appeared.one end of the rainbow went miles and miles away from shore into the ocean horizon.the other end landed squarly in the yard on our beach.i couldn`t contain myself ,i had to find out what was at the end of the rainbow.so i ran outside and grabbed the clam digging shovel.with my shovel in hand,i ran to the end of the rainbow and started to dig.i dug as hard as i could and then i hit something.so i dug harder to get it out.finaly i had it,it was a rusted out bucket full of sand.ha-ha-ha!so how many people you know,got to actually dig at the end of the rainbow!...outlaw

The part which I see is the worst, is that the JW's will seem like knights in shinning armour to this screwed up woman. I like the herbal advice. Yeah.. drop the lithium and take St. John's Wart. What the heck????

ever get those moments where you wonder how the hell you could ever have followed the wt's policy on blood?.

i had one when reading this: http://www.witnessesonline.com/cgi-bin/cgiwrap/witnessesonline/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=14&t=000054.

one comment that stands out for me in this thread for it's unbelievable callousness and cult-indoctrination:.

ofcmad

These are the most barbaric sentiments of condolences to the parents I have ever read. These comments just wanted to make me sick! Here, "praise Jehovah" the child is going to live, meanwhile if the parents had their way, they would be reading sympathy cards. This is just outrageous.

Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound
Who saved a wretch like me..
I once was lost,
AND NOW I'M FOUND,
I was blind,
BUT NOW I SEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
