  Mounded From Clay

  just sitting through this week's wt study and just spent 5 minutes listening to multiple answers where people are convinced that jehovah made humans from clay, literally forming adam like a sculpture then breathing life into him.. it's embarrassing to think i basically thought the same....

  My Refurbished Web Page

  i know that many here are no longer believers, but i also know that there are still some participating in this forum who consider themselves christians.

  i recently refurbished my web site extensively, and thought some of you might enjoy browsing it.

  some of my articles are aimed at exposing unbiblical teachings of the watchtower, and my video presentations on "darkness in the watchtower" and "the watchtower's mad science and bad medicine" have been particularly well received.

  Trolley cart "witnessing" is getting ridiculous

  by oppostate in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i really fail to see how much actual "witnessing" is occurring with the trolley carts.publishers, usually pioneers, just stand or sit there not engaging anyone and count their time.. the only thing i notice that it's accomplishing is brand exposure for jw.0rg so the public is exposed to the logo and literature/poster card headlines.. take for example this "evening" witnessing by a pioneer elder while on summer holiday/vacation.. .

  is this not a wth kinda moment when you consider the years of slaving, knocking on doors, business territory and bible studies we had to keep performing so we weren't branded a "weak" publisher?.

  Why didn't they have this when I was in? Perfect for someone who doesn't like cold calling at people's doors or having to talk to someone!

  Thay's my thoughts too. Could have took a flask and a good book.

  Snipped from the website
  

  He also holds the Bachelor of Science degree in Biblical Studies from Moody Bible Institute of Chicago, IL, having graduated with Highest Honors

  Slightly OT but a BS degree in biblical studies seems a bit weird. I realise works that are fictional sometimes have their place in an arts degree, shakespere in an english degree for example, but you wouldn't do a degree in shakespere as such.

  Do the lecturers on the degree treat the bible as tbe word of god and put their own interpretation on it or do they treat it as purely a historical text?

  It just seems bizarre to do a degree in the 'bible'.

  Edit - it's actually a BA which makes more sense than a BS - not exactly a science is it!

  You're a naughty boy Tom - I would have thought studying the bible would have taught you to be a bit more honest. ;)

  How would the world be different if there were no JWs?

  by JW_Rogue in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i think this would be a great question to ask active jws.

  they love to say how the world would be so different if everyone was a jw.

  however, what if we flip the question and ask, would the world really be much different if the jw faith never came into existence?

  A JW would answer that the the reason the JWs have very little influence is because the devil rules the world ...

  I heard this one from Garrison Keillor on "A Prairie Home Companion:"

  A Jehovah's Witness converted to Unitarianism. So he went from door to door for no particular reason.

  Did you hear about the dyslexic agnostic insomniac?

  He stayed up all night wondering if there was a dog.

  Maybe instead of searching for certainties, just accept that not being totally sure is ok as well.

  Life is short and we're only here once. Enjoy it.

  your qualifications are way above mine so i'd love to hear more about the specifics of what you have researched and how that supports the existence of a deity.

  k99, i am not really convinced that you're interested in my conclusions.

  Viv's Law: anytime someone uses the word "quantum" in an effort to prove a higher power, you can be 100% certain that person doesn't know what either of those things mean.

  Well, I do and I don't. Both at the same time.

  And a cat.
