If Adam had not sinned, would he be in heaven now?
by stevieb1 in
1. jw
2. friends
one of the ways the wt tries to get you into believing you are not going to heaven even if you d not have faith in christ is by saying that if adam had not sinned we would all be living in a paradise earth.

the publication "reasoning from the scriptures" states on page 162: "it wa not jehovah's original purpose for man someday to die.......death was to be punishment for disobedience, not the doorway to a better life in heaven.

obedience would have ben rewarded by continued life, eternal life, in the paradise that god had given to man.

Why atheism?
by Skimmer in
1. jw
2. friends
on varieties of atheism:.

can we even speak of clear and distinct ideological borders among atheists, agnostics, and theists?

absent any commonly accepted scientific proof of the existence of god (or gods), we must consider that the labeling is based on an individual's personal interpretation.

by pseudoxristos in

2. friends
a quick search for the "united nations" on the watchtowers public information site, listed an article with a reference to the july 22, 2001 awake.

the awake article titled "helping hands are everywhere" contains a box entilted "international year of volunteers".

this is clearly one example of the watchtower disseminating information for the united nations.. interesting note:.

hi folks.

what do you like about kingdom halls?.

i am not talking about the software i.e., the people, the pure language, the music, the smell of lavender as the toilet door swings to, or the obedient rustle of bible pages.
