  Jehovah's Witnesses Are Believers But Know Not What They Teach

  by minimus in

  2. friends

  they simply belong to a religion.

  they cannot explain why they follow all the dictates of the organization.

  they live in blind faith.

  This is the part JW's don't get:

  "Jesus didn't come to make bad people good, he came to make dead people live."

  Pick your belief system

  i think we've all noticed a ton of newbe's these past months.

  one part of escaping or thinking about escaping the jw's is coming to terms with what you believe now and/or what direction you are leaning towards.. here is a site that has a quick quiz that may be of some worth or just for fun.

  i took it when i first signed on here and the results surprised me because it was pretty accurate.. you don't have to sign up for anything and when you finish you will get a percentage answer on 20 major belief systems.

  The greatest man in history is named Jesus. Had no servants, yet they called Him Master. Had no degree, yet they called Him Teacher. Had no medicines, yet they called Him Healer. He had no army, yet kings feared Him. He won no military battles, yet He conquered the world. He committed no crime.. Yet they crucified Him. He was buried in a tomb, yet He lives today.

  One scientific publication makes this statement:

  Monkeys live all over the world and come in various shapes, sizes and colors.....Monkeys are as varied in shape and size as humans.
  

  I suspect that Peking Man will one day go the way of the other "men" snake oil salesmen paraded before us. Piltdown man had over 500 scholarly papers written about it by "smart" men before it was trashed as a hoax. - (Nature vol. 274, #4419 (10 July 1954) pp. 61-62)

  This little fellow might one day be named "Pinocchio Man".

  

  ...the wisdom of this world is foolishness in God’s sight. As it is written: “He catches the wise in their craftiness” and again, “The Lord knows that the thoughts of the wise are futile.” - 1 Cor. 3: 18

  "Knowing that scientists are highly motivated by status and rewards, that they are no more objective than professionals in other fields, that they can dogmatically defend an idea no less vehemently than ideologues and that they can fall sway to the pull of authority allows us to understand that, in Goodstein’s assessment, “injecting falsehoods into the body of science is rarely, if ever, the purpose of those who perpetrate fraud. They almost always believe that they are injecting a truth into the scientific record.” - Scientific American

  Vivane,

  This is not about you. It's about a jawbone. Make up your own mind. I'm unconvinced.

  Juvenile jaw bone without the wisdom teeth seems more likely than Village Idiot's assessment.

  Amazing how these "3 million" year old molars look identical to "modern" molars.
