  Thought control - sexual fantasizing is wrong - May 2016 Watchtower

  by Listener in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  >>the bible reveals that jehovah issaddened when people pursue a wick-ed course and ‘the inclination of theirthoughts is only bad all the time.’ (readgenesis 6:5, 6.

  ) from this we can per-ceive that sexual fantasizing is wrongbecause it can lead to serious sin that isforbidden in the scriptures and is out ofharmony with jehovah’s way of think-ing.the disciple james wrote: “the wis-dom from above is first of all pure, thenpeaceable, reasonable, ready to obey,full of mercy and good fruits, impar-tial, not hypocritical.” (jas.

  3:17) beingaware of this, we should be moved toreject entertainment that fuels impurethoughts and inclinations.

  Evolution Hole #1 - Origin of Life

  by shadow in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  disclaimer: my graduate degree is in business, not science so i'm writing as a layman in this field.

  yes, i know that someone is going to say that evolution does not encompass this topic and should be sectioned off under abiogenesis.

  i'm not trying to argue semantics here but it seems like a case of avoiding an uncomfortable subject.

  I say the evidence points to the fact that life will not develop from inanimate matter. This leads to the conclusion that life began via creation.

  
  

  Someone the other day wanted a god of the gaps example.

  You won't get a better one than the above.

  Did you KNOW Ray and Cynthia or the legal copyright holder? Only a few maybe had limited contact.

  2. friends

  i have known all of them over the last 15 years, talked at length with them, and knew what their wishes were, the copyright holder and spouse spent even more time with them socially and helping them set up their arrangements for when ray and cynthia passed.

  i don't believe that anyone else on this board or others was a confidant.

  there is no need to prove it to anyone but the copyright office which is satisfied with this.

  Can we start a sweep on the post number for either the thread being locked or Godwin's to make an appearance?

  Charles Darwin was not an Atheist

  by LAWHFol in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  personally i have the same viewpoint of darwin, when he said : " the safest conclusion seems to me to be that the whole subject is beyond the scope of man's intellect".

  i'm not trying to convince anyone about the existence or non existence of god.. rather, i encourage everyone to keep seeking.

  keep searching for the truth that makes the most sense to them.. darwin is the grand father of evolution, and his findings and life work, did not make of him an atheist.

  I'm surprised no one's brought up the religious views of issac newton yet - he was pretty far out there.

  Do JW get counseled for buying a home?

  by thedepressedsoul in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i was curious, i couldn't find much on it.

  if anything, there are a few articles that give advice on how to properly buy a home, mortgage, good location etc... .

  do you know if the elders can counsel on this matter or remove privileges over it?

  That's what its all about. The ability to say "I don't know" and keep searching. That's what leads us to understanding, and away from superstition.

  Exactly, but a lot of people use it as a means to introduce the god of the gaps

  You have to take his comments in the context of both the time he was active and the deep religious beliefs of his family. The reason that's often stated for him sitting on his work for so long without publishing it was that he didn't want to offend his family and his peers.

  2015 WT CD ROM Trying to Hide the Past

  by The Searcher in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  when installing, it asks if you'd like to receive automatic updates via the internet.. in other words, "we will re-write our history without you knowing what was written previously.".

  the corporation knows that many will never exchange their cd rom for the puerile online library, so doctoring their previous "truths" is the best solution.. a bit like the creed painted on the barn door in "animal farm.

  " .

  Or it could be just a way of updating the software that runs the library - but you carry on being overy suspicious and paranoid.
