There is no doubt that Adam wasn't the first man. How do believers get around that small fact?

by jam in

using bible in determing the date of the creation of adam .

anyone in their right mind believe this to be true in today age.. don,t you think this nullify the whole bible?

the very first book.

Brainstorming about something that all of us would be interested in

i started to feel this kind of devotion when someone comes to the conclusion that the ultimate goal of his life is to make this cult disappear from the history.. so, i`ve been thinking, how could we yes guys, we, ordinary people complete such kind of project.. why dont we make an organization against them?

we could maintain it from donations,maybe start printing our own magazines about how they are misguiding people.we definitely should sign up for google adwords to advertise anti-jw sites.we need to draw attention on the facts that we have luckily come to know.

these are some of what crossed my mind during the recent weeks.

A Contradiction?

by Yan Bibiyan in

believers know that everything is in gods hands.

this is one of the pillars of their faith.. .

if believers want anything to happen, they pray to god.. why?.

Tater-T

Hitchens makes a similar point in his latest "Mortality"

something to the effect.. when one prays they are admitting they are not pleased with what God is doing and they have the appropriate solution..

charismatic leader can also be a a Mystical leader.. I read, when researching cults intially ..

they are mystical in their .. FDS teachings and their lack of answering for anything .. It's like they are ghosts who hold all this power, but they hide behind being Humble..

I still have it on my DVR too.. the last line of Cult expert Steve Hassan say's " they use alot of highly emotional pictures showing death and destruction.. then they make it seem .. that they are the only ones doing God's will .. and if you don't do what we tell you .. well.. you'll be killed.."

Yes... Steve thats pretty much what they do... ..
