  Serena not celebrating Valentines Day, like countless others

  yet another serena williams story about her not celebrating a holiday.

  she claims she is a jw even though most here say she is not because she wasn't baptized.

  someone ought to do a real story on her hypocrisy.

  Is this how you saw your Armageddon? I sure did :(

  i think most of our imaginations of the new world was probably nothing like the watchtower reality.

  after all, we jws are very good at avoiding uncomfortable truths!

  you can tell micheal jackson was a certain type of jehovahs witness.

  I was so unclued up on doctrine as a young born-in that I didn't even realise the great tribulation and armageddon were separate events till well after I'd left the religion behind. The absence of any real clarity in the publications didn't help, nor did the lack of internet access on my part.

  In all fairness, I don't think I could name a single pre-20th century pope off the top of my head, aside from Saint Peter, and I'm sure I'm not alone in that.

  I doubt it, they're not a big deal like the RCC.

  apparently the jws were still using russell’s pyramid measurements to push the end for 1925 too.

  here is the film anyone know it they used pyramidolgy to push the other previous dates like 1918?

  Diversity is White Genocide

  asia for the asians, africa for the africans, white countries for everybody!.

  everybody says there is this race problem.

  everybody says this race problem will be solved when the third world pours into every white country and only into white countries.. the netherlands and belgium are just as crowded as japan or taiwan, but nobody says japan or taiwan will solve this race problem by bringing in millions of third worlders and quote assimilating unquote with them.. everybody says the final solution to this race problem is for every white country and only white countries to “assimilate,” i.e., intermarry, with all those non-whites.. what if i said there was this race problem and this race problem would be solved only if hundreds of millions of non-blacks were brought into every black country and only into black countries?.

  I think he's suggesting that there's more to sprinting than a single gene. It'll be a number of factors, of which that gene is just one.

  Did Jesus exist? Probably not

  by The 12 Apostates in

  threads about this have been made before, but none have been made for a few years.

  i was very much on the fence with this one, i never really cared.

  but i became curious recently, having had a few interactions with street preachers.

  I'm always a bit cagey when people start talking about the entire story of Jesus being part of some recurring allegory, it all sounds a bit Zeitgeist-esque. I'll have to look into what you just wrote, because I've never come across this particular interpretation before.

  I'm not sure what to make of this thread, or where to begin. This all seems very reactionary, and any legitimate concerns are presented in such a hysterical fashion that it's hard to even read them, let alone take them seriously.

  I will make one very concise point. Most of the world's problems* are caused almost exclusively by three things: fear, greed and tribalism. This thread concerns the latter, and the solution is for people of all types to somehow learn to come together and exist as one people. Fat chance of that happening though, let's be honest.

  * Specifically the problems that pertain to the politics of people, as opposed to environmental concerns like climate change, habitat loss, and mass extinction (all of which are far more important than any of this, by the way).

  I would say that this thread (which has more-or-less run its course now) was more about historicity than the religious motivations of believers. I appreciate your opinion, but I can't at all relate to someone who genuinely believes in people returning from the dead.

  All I can say is, people have suffered and given their lives for much less, so I don't find it at all hard to believe that people would die for something that never happened. I should also point out that these people who suffered and died almost certainly believed the resurrection story to be true, they were just mistaken, just as those who fought and died for their belief that Muhammad went to heaven on a winged horse were (and still are) mistaken.
