  Circumcision....Perfect Adam....Uncircumcised....1st century Christians...circumcision ont required

  by blondie in

  i know this has been discussed many times, but i was watching a news story about female genital mutilation (not female circumcision) and segued mentally into why the hassle about male babies having to be circumcised, christians especially.

  even the wts flipflops on this...... if adam, the first perfect man, not under the jewish law code, was given a foreskin by god as an aspect of his physical perfection, why then do so many "christian" people have their boy babies circumcised?.

  if a health issue....why did god create the perfect man, adam, with a foreskin?.

  If you're looking for oddities of the human body to disprove creation then the foreskin is way down the list!

  Apologists saying that the JWs shouldn't be banned, what the hell!??

  by Crazyguy in

  it's been brought to my attention that there are xjw that say they support the witnesses and don't think russia should ban them.

  i would just like to remind all of you that jws are guilty of murder, causing higher rates of suicide, covering up child molestation, and keeping members in prisoned because if they leave they loose family, financial support, possible employment etc.. sure their not strapping bombs to their chests but they easily get members to kill themselves with their blood policies.

  they are an extremist group!

  Those that argue this, have no merit.

  And those that don't have no brains.

  freedom of religion is a precious precious thing. It's to be valued and held sacrosanct by any measure of civilised society. Any attack on that is A. Very. Bad. Thing.

  UC Berkeley Reverses order cancellation of Ann Coulter speech

  uc berkeley orders cancellation of ann coulter speech.

  officials at the university of california at berkeley on thursday reversed their decision to cancel a speech by conservative firebrand ann coulter.. the university had announced wednesday that it was canceling coulter’s appearance following several political protests in berkeley that turned violent.. but on thursday, the university said it had found a venue where it could hold the speech on may 2, instead of the original april 27 date.

  however, a leader of the college republican group that originally invited coulter said the university was placing strict conditions on the event, and he said his group intended to reject the new terms.. before the reversal was announced, coulter had vowed to go ahead with an appearance anyway.. that probably would have put security officials on high alert and might have sparked another showdown in struggles over campus safety, student views and ideological openness.. “what are they going to do?

  If we send another landslide from Scotland how dare she refuse us a vote.

  You've already had one. Do you want to keep having one every year until you get the result you want?

  Could a petition to make shunning illegal work?

  by aboveusonlysky in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  we're currently watching leah remini's series about scientology and the main thing she seems to focus on is the shunning policies of the scientology organization which let's face it are very similar to jw procedure.. i was wondering with all that's in the media recently about bullying could a petition be put together to get the goverment to consider making religiously mandated shunning illegal?

  has such a thing been tried before?.

  No. You can't force someone to talk to someone else.

  If we are further away from perfection, why are we more moral?

  by stuckinarut2 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  as we know, witnesses teach that adam and eve were perfect and then committed the first act of sin and rebellion.. they in turn were cursed,and we all declined as their offspring.

  humans supposedly lived shorter and shorter lives, and became more imperfect and sinful.. the further away in time humans go then, they should be getting worse.

  so why is it then that as a society, humans have actually improved in so many ways?.

  Judeo / Christian ethics has had an enormous impact on the world.

  They have. And it's no coincidence that the world is getting better as those particular brand of ethics become less significant.

  UK Memorial attendances up this year?!

  my congregation had around 25 more people at the memorial last night than last year, and the two other congregations i have family in all experienced a similar increase in about 25 more people present.

  umm, i'm surprised, having thought this year would see a memorial decline again.

  and i'm kind of disappointed..

  When did the Iron Age start according to the Bible? You'll be surprised!

  by Crazyguy in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  read this over at reddit so the credit goes to the person over there but in genesis 4:22 it's say one of the offspring of adam knew how to work with iron roughly 130 years after the creation of man.

  now historians and scientists say man didn't figure out how to use iron until about 1100 bc, man we're we wrong!

  it's also interesting that cain is building a city when there like 10 people on the planet and nimrod goes on to build the tower of babel only about 100 year after the flood.

  I’ve tried to be polite. I’m merely here to represent a different point of view. Ostensibly, I am welcomed, but I don’t think it is for real. Certainly, the blogmaster has not chained up Outlaw, and he is a major di$traction, always$ nipping at my heel$, supplementing his bite$ with in$ulting graphic$. Alright, I get it, he think$ our people $hould $ub$i$t on honeycomb$ and locu$t$.

  Don't worry about it. Outlaw's forum persona is a bit like that cousin that's a little bit dim that everyone ignores. He's good at posting pictures but I can't recall him ever posting anything actually worth reading.

  Welcome BTW.
