  I have just had a look at theomatics debunked, and it seems to indicate that it is rubbish, so that is 2 different opinions, and probably sorted! Thanks, steve2.

  That's basically what I think, interested scepticism.

  It looks good on the surface, but is too complicated for me to properly understand, like a lot of things..

  First Born Syndrom? -

  by elderINewton in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  is it just me or does it seem like a large portion of first born children leave the "truth" or find ttatt?

  its weird for me, but of all the other people out i know (only about 20 ish) they are all first borns, and usually the wife is as well.

  just looking at this from a different lens and curious if others see the same.

  First borns are the oldest child and so probably do most things before the younger ones.

  What is the thinking behind demons?

  Never having been a JW I have never had problems with this way of thinking.

  If there was a noise in the house my first thought would be to find out what was doing it, not blaming it on demons.

  What are they supposed to get out of hiding, making noises and changing the tv channel?

  Haven't they got anything more interesting to do?

  Where do they get their living from? ie what do they eat?

  New way to fade?

  by dothemath in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  a brother in a local congregation has successfully faded, no announcements or judicial hearings that anyone has heard of.. his immediate family are all out, but they have lots of family still in.. if he had joined another religion, or the army, or put up christmas lights, likely the elders would be hounding them like crazy.. but no, he has accepted evolution(it seems to be common knowledge).. i would have thought this would be a disfellowshipping offense, but lots of time has passed, and they just leave them all alone..

  Surely Christ was enthroned in heaven AD33 not 1914!

  last chapter of Matthew v18

  18 Jesus approached and spoke to them, saying: “All authority has been given me in heaven and on the earth.

  I find it sad that people live in fear of something that does not exist. It is like a mental illness.

  Do People Have Spirits? What Do the Early Texts Say?

  by Cold Steel in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  for years adventist sects, including the jws, have believed that the dead sleep at death and remain non-existent until the resurrection.

  its strongest argument seems to be text in the non-escchatological book of ecclesiastes in the old testament.

  although a part of the canon of scripture, the book is not written by a prophet, nor is there any prophecy or recognizable doctrine contained therein.

  If you believe the Bible, the Genesis account says that God told Adam that if he ate of the wrong tree he would die. It does not say that he would live for ever somewhere else.

  Swearing on the bible

  by Lost and adrift in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  on the subject of truth.

  ..... i was always under the impression that one of the reasons jws couldn't do jury duty or go to court etc was that we were not allowed to swear on the bible.

  ..as in i swear to tell the truth the whole truth etc etc .

  In Great Britain you don't have to swear on the Bible.

  You can ask to affirm.

  What is the point of swearing on the Bible if you don't believe in God?
