  a long time since the topic has been raised on jwn.

  " according to the majority of scientists, it's all our fault.

  our high carbon emissions and increase in co2 are causing changes in our weather.

  I think this is another example of people taking scientific data and then making up crap that ultimately has nothing to do with the initially presented data.

  Re. climate change. The evidence does not support the idea that our changing climate is driven by the Sun. Yes it is in part caused by changes in the Sun's radiation (we know that the Sun has various phases that it changes through) but that does not account for all the data collected on this topic. To suggest this idea as a reason for our changing climate/changing average temperatures shows that a lot of information is being ignored.

  Re. Binary system. Missing the approach of a comet measuring approximately 20 metres in diameter is one thing. To suggest that we might be missing a red dwarf (the smallest estimations of which suggest a size of 34590 miles in diameter) is silly... There are unanswered questions related to the behaviour of the planets in the Solar System but, again, to suggest some of the above demonstrates a lack of knowledge of all the data available!

  The bottom line is: Stop taking evidence in isolation to forward ideas that are destroyed in the light of all the available evidence...

  JWs kinda admit to not being Christian

  during the book study which is basically a book all about the history of "gods organization" ©.

  a paragraph that hit me like a ton of the proverbial bricks was this.... 9 first, jehovah’s servants came to have the proper view of the importance of god’s name.

  faithful early bible students viewed the ransom arrangement as the bible’s main teaching.

  "That was after I wondered why the globe in the Stephen Lett video was spinning the wrong way."

  Only in your opinion. Evidence has to be interpreted and although you may interpret the Earth to spin that way others interpret it differently. I know a scientist who has said that all the text books are wrong and that is coming from a scientist who has lost his job because of the world wide Satanic conspiracy to mislead everyone. Don't be misled for time is short. Your local Kingdom Hall has many leaflets that will correct your thinking so run there now before religion is banned and you get shut out in the cold.

  What is the purpose of life?

  by slimboyfat in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  while reading the magazines the other day it occurred to me that jws never really had a very good answer to that question.

  because it was aimed at young people and it said something along the lines, "if you believe in god you have a purpose, but if you don't believe in god your life has no purpose or meaning".

  i think that is a faulty analysis of the situation.

  Looter -

  In those stories that were written back before mankind knew any better your god killed thousands upon thousands of people personally and sat back whilst his worshipers killed thousands upon thousands more. Have you bothered to read the Bible, ever? What you are in essence saying is that you act and behave in a manner that has nothing in common with this entity that you believe offers us the best example of how to live our lives; and yet here you are promoting this entity and its commandments...

  What is going on inside your head?

  "In everything, therefore, treat people the same way you want them to treat you, for this is the Law and the Prophets"

  I can possibly speak for most of us when I say that if I were being a dick and expressing ludicrous beliefs as reality then I would expect to be given a verbal slapping as well. In that respect we are doing exactly what your god demands of you. The question is why you are not following that commandment when you are the one who, apparently, believes all that crap.

  "Now if I was promoting mass murder or other atrocities"

  You are, you are promoting the Judeo-Christian god and therefore, by extension of that, you are promoting mass murder and a variety of other atrocities.

  Your belief is not worthy of respect and your attitude is not either. Perhaps one day you may finally recognise what most of us can already see in you.

  Origin of Life

  by cofty in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  in recent years significant progress has been made in solving the question of how life originated on our planet.. how do you think theists will respond when it finally happens?

  as a former christian i know my reaction would have been something like "well that just goes to show that it takes intelligent life to make life", but for two reasons that defense doesn't work.. firstly it would prove that life is not an ethereal force that originates with god.

  there is no 'ghost in the machine', no elan vital.

  arguing with those who reject scientific evidence can be like arguing about football; just as angry and passionate, but the goalposts keep moving, and one team doesn't exist.. read more here....

  "If Somebody claimed to be a cosmologist and wrote that the moon is made of cheddar cheese we would not be wrong to doubt his claim would we?"

  Of course they would be wrong, it's Wensleydale. Wallace himself has been there and as his view is a equal as an earthworm (or a scientist, they are both very similar) my assertion is true.

  Why are the atheists on this site so hateful?

  by HopeEverLasting in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  all us creationists try to do is offer true evidence that the one and only god is out there watching and looking down on us.

  we present that certain scientists know the truth about god and that he is everything that we see from trees, life, weather, the air we breath, and even the most simple molecules.

  but of course you atheists reject it because it is your nature to not be humble and see god because you want to rule your own life.

  If a belief is so shallow it cannot stand up to criticism then that belief is not worthy of continuing to exist. The problem theists have isn't the criticism they rightly attract, it is their inability to logically or empirically substantiate their position.

  If certain topics were off limits then this would become an echo chamber. However every topic on here seems to be open to criticism. This can only be good for how else would a reader be able to weigh up a subject if there were only people participating who agreed with each other. Now, what a reader will see is that some subjects are backed up with evidence and some subjects exist only because people know how to string a sentence together. The ability to critically analyse a topic is something that ex-JWs need to learn, having spent most of their lives being taught not to do just that by the entire organisation.

  Visitors to this site don't have to post. In fact, the best thing to do at first is just read and get to know the personalities of the main posters. If anyone were to read the topics on this site about theism I am sure they would quickly see that the aggression and personal attacks come from theists in the main and that there is a common theme in these topics i.e. the position of theism is not rational or logical or backed up with anything more than a wish for something to be.

  If people are put off by the tone of this site then I feel that they are not yet ready for the real world. However I would be surprised if any visitor to this site would be so thin skinned. Yes they may complain like a child that has been told they have to share their favourite toy but they would still come back and read. And who knows, maybe they will follow a link, do some reading and get a taste of what real learning feels like.
