  Overwhelmed

  by Freedom rocks in

  does anyone else feel overwhelmed on what to believe?.

  i've been doing lots of research on beliefs, evolution, creationism but i feel no further forward about what i truly believe.

  for example i looked at the fossil record and tiktaalic and thought great it proves a lot but then i've seen counter arguments on youtube of people basically saying its a load of rubbish and doesn't prove anything.

  Yeah, yeah ..he seems to have an Alzheimer's early onset breaking that glass....but seriously...if wordly institutions are so evil....why don't WT put a nice college to form doctors, engineers, lawyers, etc.? It's ironic because they need qualified people, as many in this thread have said...and don't tell me that there's no money.

  I didn't know I could become a banker ....but seriously, it sounds kind to desperate... maybe if they issue bonds instead? The question is...why the hurry? It's bad planning.

  hi guys, long time without paying a visit to this site.

  today i returned to check a 'gossip' that is running around in brazilian exjw forums.. they are stating that is almost certain they will make a big change in their doctrine maybe this year yet in the annual meeting.

  they say people in warwick were commenting on this.

  Impeached....no,....but the pressure could take a toll and he could eventually resign... it's terrible for the country all that partisan fight, the people are getting tired of people pushing agendas for political purposes and not taking care of the real problems around.

  why the watchtower is so short of money

  by pepperheart in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the watchtower is so short of money because they have to pay for all the upkeep of so many branch offices around the world.because so many of the branch offices are in very poor countries and they are not balancing the budgets.

  We all know here that thanks to the Worlwide JW Charity Effort (TM) they are without money. But, seriously, they are cutting essential stuff, like the art for the Memorial invitations, which is gonna be the same...and selling KH brings money but hurts morale....

  1 timothy 2:11-15let a woman learn in silence with full submissiveness.

  i do not permit a woman to teach, or to exercise authority over a man, but to be in silence.

  There is this Bible's quote "slaves be obedient to your masters with respect as fear.... as Christ". Of course we don't enforce that, and if the Borg wants to survive it needs to include women as MS, at least. Jesus wouldn't care, I guess. Let's say, new light, Apostle's Paul was an opinion for his time, let's change. But I doubt a change, maybe in one generation , if they're still around.

  Why go back to the Old Testament?

  by Lost in the fog in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  why do jws insist on still quoting from the old testament to back up some of their wacky ideas?

  such as on blood, beards, abortion, tattoos, etc.

  surely if the mosaic law code was nailed to the torture stake all of its parts were cancelled.

  The answer is an easy one... because, for one thing, Jesus was a Jew and quote extensively from del Old Testament, I think is also known as the Hebrew Bible....just saying
