The Evidence of Human Evolution keeps getting stronger and stronger

by Disillusioned JW in

despite the wt's and young earth creationists' teachings against human evolution (namely macroevolution from non-humans) being a reality, the evidence of human evolution keeps getting stronger and stronger.. consider for example two science news articles and one other science article, each pertaining to the fossil that is nicknamed "little foot".

below are links to three science articles, listed in order of the articles from oldest to newest (except i don't see a date for one of the articles).

There are 13 countries in the world, where atheism is punishable with death. They are all muslim. In my opinion the biggest problem is multiculturalism. Cultures clash. New people come in who will not surrender their worldview to their new hosts. You Americans have the black/white issue where the black minority is significantly more violent than the white majority. You dont have want another issue. Here in Europe, the great replacement creates a lot of violence and the believers in the necessity of the import of these people are blind to the fact that it causes more violence and will create a more violent society. Ex muslims are clever people, they say protect your European civilisation from the treath. But Europe will not listen. We are heading for more violent times in Europe. Where it will end, only God knows

More JW left ideology examples

by neat blue dog in

the latest gb update ramps up the fear of the plandemic even more, and introduces a whiteboard animation that advocates staying at home, wearing masks and social distancing.. https://www.jw.org/finder?locale=en&category=latestvideos&item=pub-jwb_202012_12_video&docid=1011214&applanguage=e.

then there's another 'save the planet' type article that mentions debunked and unrealistic green new deal-esque talking points such as alternative energy, switching to a plant based diet and less manufacturing.. https://www.jw.org/en/bible-teachings/peace-happiness/save-earth/.

Anna Marina stated well "yes they are Communists with religion". They also teach a concept of God that includes a fair amount of humanism. Therefore harsh old testament passages are more a problem than in Evangelical circles, as also witnessed among the ex'es here. JW try to conjure up some more or less humanistic excuses for God that just does not work.

Each for his own sins

by peacefulpete in

is not the notion of one person dying for the sins of another rejected in this famous passage?.

20 the one who sins is the one who will die.

the child will not share the guilt of the parent, nor will the parent share the guilt of the child.

JoenB75

Hebrews 9:13 For if the blood of bulls and goats and the ashes of a heifer, sprinkling the unclean, sanctifies for the purifying of the flesh, 14 how much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without spot to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?

Friend Is Worried About My “Mental Health”...lol

by minimus in

jw
friends

one of my tennis friends who happens also to be a nurse, told me today that he is concerned about my mental health because i support donald trump.

i believe he got shafted but i also recognize that very little will probably change regarding his being re-elected.

this man voted for the “green” candidate and said he personally agrees with most of trump’s views but he thinks he’s morally corrupt.

Do Jehovah`s Witnesses believe the 1,000 reign of Christ Jesus began in 1914 ?

by smiddy3 in

if not ,why do they claim he took up his power to reign as king in 1914 ?

do they claim that ?

or is it that he has only returned awaiting for god to give the throne to him.?.

JoenB75

WTS Jesus sure take his time and waits patiently. Bible Jesus was around AD 33 given all authority on heaven and earth and was about to judge and rule over the world. Jesus said no one knew the time but also that "this generation" of his day would not pass before it happened

More Mary Martha and Lazarus

by peacefulpete in

in a previous thread discussing the rich man and lazarus parable in luke, the relationship of this parable to the lazarus resurrection story arose.

as i said in that thread i'm pretty convinced that the writer of john fleshed out this character in the rich man& lazarus parable into a narrative featuring a man named lazarus.

the reasons essentially are:.

HowTheBible,

I think John and Paul in their cultural universalism use elements in common with those called Gnostics. Jesus quotes and speaks of the old testament a lot in John. Consider:

John 5:39 You study the Scriptures diligently because you think that in them you have eternal life. These are the very Scriptures that testify about me,

I think this is a good paper on it:

I love the fact that the gospels have different takes on various doctrine. Christology of John is unique. But the Jesus of John is clear the old testament testified of him

Are 'The Proud Boys' white supremacists?

by LoveUniHateExams in

the name proud boys was brought up during the pre-election debate.. trump caught quite a bit of flack for refusing to condemn the group.. well, i just discovered a youtube vid examining a so-called racist incident between a proud boys member and antifa.. and the pb guy is married to a black woman and has a mixed-race daughter.. and, apparently, people of color can join and have joined the group.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hysfylmv1wi.

are they really white supremacist?.

JoenB75

They are patriots standing up for their country, refusing to hate and betray it. Stand ready and stand by
