THE FAITHFUL AND WISE SERVANT What does the record show? Unlike these other charlatans, the record shows proof, to anyone with an open mind, that the organization of Jehovah's Christian Witnesses has been uniquely selected by Jehovah God and mandated to fortell events with utmost precision. Yes the F&DS has been predicting events accurately for over 130 years based on angelic guidance and holy spirit direction. All this speaks to the undeniable fact, that to us alone, the Bible is an open book.

Are they using sarcasm now? I really can't believe that they would write something like that.

New Paradoxy for the Watchtower: Blood of young mice boosts brains, muscles of older ones

by Scott77 in

researchers from harvard and stanford universities published three studies today showing that substances in the blood of young mice rejuvenate the muscles and brains of older ones.

a previous harvard study suggests the same happens to their hearts.

Fasinating discovery. I can just hear JWs claiming that the bible was right about life being in the blood.

I suspect that this will be hushed up by the pharmaceutical companies, unless they can find a way to profit from it.

Atheism and the delusion of meaning

by Laika in

jw
friends

in the movie annie hall, written by woody allen, as a young boy, alvy's mother, takes him to see a doctor as he appears to be dealing with some kind of depression.

when the doctor asks alvy what's up, alvy explains that he just found out the universe is expanding, everything will spread out and go cold and die, therefore nothing he does matters, so he is not going to do anything anymore.

most people might see this as a joke, but i think woody is trying to make a serious point.. the point here is about meaning.

pseudoxristos

I wish I had time to properly discuss this, but in a nutshell, you are correct. There is no real meaning, no right or wrong, no good or evil.

On the path to Atheism this was probably the concept that I struggled with the most.

But, in the end I was raised and live in a society that places value on these concepts and imagine that these concepts are deeply ingrained in most Atheist,as they are in me.

So, when you say that from an Atheist point of view, people are worth no more than a dog turd, don't be surprised if you get a reaction.

Hopefully, I will have time to comment later.

Help me in my quest to free my sister

by Ed Daly in

hi there everyone, looking for some advice on helping my sister who is studying the bible with a jehovahs witnesses to escape.

shes been studying for over a year now and attends meetings occasionally.

i have been looking for a way to help her for a while now and the answer fell into my lap last week, during her study last week she mentioned that her son was going to a birthday party.

pseudoxristos

ED,

Is your sister aware that if she becomes a JW and her son needs a blood transfusion, she must refuse the procedure and let him die?

The Study Conductor has probably already warned your sister that her friends and family will be opposed to her studying and becoming a JW. Kind of a little mind trick to make your sister think that Satan is working to keep her from learning the truth and becoming a JW.

Our bodies can change our mind

by jgnat in

here's an article i was inspired to track down.. http://beta.in-mind.org/issue-9/embodied-persuasion-how-body-can-change-our-mind.

i know from other reading that we can lift our mood simply by smiling.

i got to thinking of the steady cues for conformity that new book studies are fed, to get them used to the uniformity to come.

pseudoxristos

That reminds me of a video I saw recently.

What evidence is there for Jesus (NOT USING THE BIBLE)?

by punkofnice in

i have often wondered if there is any actual archealogical evidence that jesus existed other than the claims of the bible.. i don't want to go down the route of 'you can't prove he didn't exist' as this is tiresome.

or 'well pontius pilate existed we found a stone with his name on so it follows jesus existed!

' that won't cut it.

pseudoxristos

I’m a little surprised that no one has mentioned why some think that the bible itself leaves room for doubt for a historical Jesus.

I remember reading years ago that the writings of Paul (the earliest NT writer) never give any detail about the birth, life, ministry or death of Jesus. Any passage written by Paul that puts Jesus in any historical context is considered a later addition. It is also thought that the Gospels (written after Pauls writings) were an attempt to flesh out the historical story of Jesus.

The following is the first site I came across that gives a good introduction into this concept:

The world ends on May 27, 2012....

or so says ronald weinland;.

may 27, 2012april 29, 2012. as readers of this site know, may 27, 2012, is the time that i have stated as being the date jesus christ will return as king of kings over all government on this earth.

for such an event to come to pass, the trumpets of revelation must all sound, the united states and dollar collapse, the ten nations of europe arise to fulfill the final revival of the holy roman empire, and russia with china must unite against europe in wwiii.. .... http://www.ronaldweinland.com/.

I decided to check on my favorite prophet and see what he's been up to.

I checked his website and as predicted (sort of) I've found that he has followed the tradition of the Millerites and the Bible Students and changed his tune when the expected events did not occur. So, now the day of Christ's return is a literal year and we have to wait until next pentecost for him to actually return.

Enjoy the spirtual feast that this fruitcake presents here.

TIME HAS RUN OUT:

September 15, 2012

TIME HAS RUN OUT:

It is Sabbath morning as I begin to write this post, and I am struck by how quickly time has passed since my last post exactly three months ago. That post was entitled, “God’s Time.” Since God’s Church had been focused on May 27th to be the literal “day” of Christ’s return, that post stated: “…there was more to the meaning of this final day to which we had finally arrived. This literal day was the beginning of a final prophetic day.”

God’s Church believes that on May 27th God revealed we had entered the “day” of Christ’s return, but that it was a “prophetic day” which is a literal year in length, from God’s Holy Day of Pentecost of 2012 to Pentecost of 2013. We now have 35 weeks remaining before the coming of the King of kings to reign over all the nations of this world.

We are in the prophetic “Day of the Lord,” which is the transition of time where God will intervene in world affairs and prepare it for the return of His Son to establish His Government on this earth and bring an end to man’s self-rule that now has existed for 6,000 years. Mankind cannot successfully govern himself. No nation and no group of nations can deliver peace for this world.
