Maybe George Lucas got it right in Star Wars and there's civilisations all over the universe with lesser beings and higher beings. Or something like Star Trek or Dr. Who....

serious question for evolutionist,

by unstopableravens in

LOL! Unstop, you make me smile. I know you're just winding them up... looks like you succeeded.

It is quite interesting to consider though because evolution is an on going thing. So it ought to make sense that man won't stay where he is but would continue to evolve in some way. Is man's skin colour some kind of evolution? The closer to the equator man lived the darker his skin and the further away, the lighter his skin. Until globalisation came and mixed it all up within a few hundred years.

Anyway, the way man's going he'll probably destroy the planet and everything on it and it'll all have to start all over again until eventually the sun dies....

Honest survey question on effectiveness of 'apostacy'

by Simon in

friends

it seems like lots of people have big dreams of 'destroying the watchtower'.

it's usually linked to a story of how they were wronged and want some revenge.

do these 'in your face' attempts to convince people that the truth isn't the truth really have an effect?.

RP:- I would rather focus on ones that are fading and contemplating leaving the movement, ie, ones that want help to escape WT."

I think that's where activism is at it's best.

Why do Jehovah's Witnesses keep track of field service hours?

by Faithful Witness in

i understand that they claim to have the responsibility to preach to every corner of the earth, so they can encourage armageddon to come quickly.

(matthew 24:14 "and this good news of the kingdom will be preached in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come.

what rationale do they have, for keeping track of their hours and literature placements?

tornapart

1st) so they can keep a track of everyone 2) So they know how much literature to produce. But mainly it's for the first reason.

Scratch a Christian and see the Intolerance under the Skin

by fulltimestudent in

a bishop of the apostolic church (grandiose title, isn't it?

) in the cook islands, wants to ban local indians who are hindu's from celebrating their diwali festival.. he claims its blasphemy against the christian god, and that because the cooks islands is a christian country, no other form of worship should be permitted.. gotta love your average christian, don't you?

if they are banned or persecuted, they scream their heads off, but as soon as they control things they want to ban any alternative worship.. cooks bishop condemns diwali celebration as blasphemyupdated 15 november 2013, 14:52 aest.

This guy who calls himself a Bishop is nothing more than ones of the Pharisees that Jesus condemned for their intolerance. Christian? I don't think so!!

i had to do a double take in the very first paragraph.. .

"a century ago, millions of young men left the security of their homes and went off to war.
