  Oh dear, our friend EP as not read "Origin" or he would realise "Races" is used in the biological sense.

  "Let's just stick to discussing facts please." Indeed.

  Why Jehovah's Witnesses are WRONG about Christmas

  by David_Jay in

  2. beliefs

  as you know (and are probably tired of hearing me repeat), i’m jewish.

  yes, i was a jehovah’s witness when i was a teenager and into my 20s, but returned to my roots and now celebrate chanukah when the holiday season comes around each year.. so why am i writing about christmas?

  well, that’s because i thought i would share something about how jehovah’s witnesses teach against christmas.

  The O.P was an excellent Post from the estimable David Jay, I wonder if he is still about ? I really valued this one, and his many others, which gave me an insight on to the great Jewish views on a number of things.

  We always celebrated Christmas when we were J.W's , if anyone had challenged us, we would have said it was a Family Gathering, which it was, about 15 around the table on both days. We didn't then have a Christmas Tree or anything.

  In recent years we have given presents, had a Tree, etc.

  We are all, as an extended family, non-theists, so nothing religious as such goes on, but we thoroughly enjoy this Happy Time of being with family and friends, the Christmastide always excited me, and it has got better !

  This year there will be little of Chanukah in our celebrations, maybe a bloody great Menorah ?

  Have a GREAT time at Christmas everyone, whatever your beliefs.

  Thank you for your kindly reply EP, my comment about lazy ones was not aimed at you, but some on this forum, and in the world generally.

  Truth is only established upon Irrefutable Evidence.

  When I get time, I shall go back over what you have presented , and consider it more thoroughly, you deserve that !

  How Much of Russell and Rutherford is Left?

  by NotFormer in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  russell is kind of acknowledged as the founder, but rutherford is the one who really made the wt what it is, or at least laid the foundations for what it came to be, today.

  how much would someone from that era recognise in the wt today?

  what are the big changes that they would see?.

  Most of the wacky teachings and ideas of those two have gone, apart from the discredited 1914 nonsense.

  The Org. remains an anachronistic 19th Century Doomsday Cult.

  " Nobody can be that wilfully ignorant. " he is a Troll, and deliberately ignorant in the chosen comments, I suspect this Troll knows the Truth.

  There are, sadly, in this the Information Age, many who are wilfully ignorant, a couple of clicks of a mouse and Bingo ! there is your Information, which the sensible then Fact Check etc.

  The worrying ones are, not only lazy older ones, but especially the younger ones who it seems if there isn't an App. for it on their surgically attached 'phone, they will go no further to find real Factual, True Information.

  People who fit that description on this Site surprise me, surely after years of being lied to by the Org. they want to know what is True ???

  Evolution, as you said Cofty IS TRUE ! Undeniably, if anyone thinks they can blow a huge hole in it, GO AHEAD ! Win yourself a Nobel Prize !

  The more you get to know, the more you realise that you know very little, I have found ! But now my mind is open to all ideas, I find learning a real pleasure !

  My mind is not so open that my brain fell out, so I Fact Check, check the sources and Authorities of Scholars who are referenced, even if I am studying a seemingly good Paper or Book, that is presented as Academics do, I found a Paper a while ago, it looked very learned and seemed to make some sense, but the "Authorities" appealed to all turned out to be of the same "school" of thought, suspicious that ! Academic Books do that too.

  So be careful, use Critical Thinking skills, and the above checks, and a wealth of knowledge that is trustworthy is out there !

  I’m not sure what this means!

  by NeedsProof in

  2. experiences

  yesterday i was visited by 2 witnesses, and we had a long chat about lots of things!

  one of them named claire took the lead and i instantly felt some sort of connection to her, after we had spoken and they had left i started to have this overwhelming feeling to research her and what she had spoken about but i couldn’t find her anywhere on any website or social media, so i left it and thought nothing more of it all day….

  however the strange thing is i had a dream that night and claire was in it, many things happened in this dream that i was told i was only allowed to speak about with claire, i can speak of the dream to others but the details only me and claire can know!

  Dreams have no meaning that should be acted upon, or even thought about too much.

  I really can't be arsed to watch a Vid. from a charlatan pushing intelligent design and misrepresenting where we are with Abiogenesis at present.

  Vidqun, you need to actually research for yourself where we are with our knowledge now. The process of how life began has been observed and replicated, in other words, in a Lab. it was observed happening.

  There is plenty of accurate Info. out there, easily accessible, one book which is good on this is "Life Ascending" , I forget the Authors name, it is from over a decade ago, so research has moved on since then, but the process described is still the current hypothesis.

  "Intelligent Design"is utter bollocks, this comment from Ken Miller, a Scientist, but a believer in a kind of god, a practicing Catholic, is revealing :

  He had this to say about the ideas of I.D. that they are “ rejected by Science because they do not fit the facts, and for having failed religion because they think too little of God”.

  Ken Miller wrote “ The Falgellum Unspun” about how bacteria developed the flagellum, a sort of corkscrew propeller ??, so as to be able to move.
