  Why ex-JW's so knowledgeable when it comes to the Bible?

  by James Mixon in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  over the years here on this site i have found over half of the folks can hold their own with any minister.. why when we leave the borg we become proficient on any subject on the bible.. why did we go down that road?

  my intention was to get close to jehovah (searching the bible), but i. guess i found lucifer.

  i'am ask all the time, how did you go from a true believer to calling the bible a book.

  On another topic someone mention, JW's turn out more atheist than any other religion.Why?
  

  I believe that this is probably true, even though I haven't seen any proof to support it.

  I think there are two reasons for this. The first reason (that xjw's want to find the real truth and take an objective look at the evidence) has been mentioned several times.

  The second reason is that Witnesses have already discarded several significant false beliefs/doctrines, so I believe that they are already well on their way to becoming Atheist .

  • No Immortality of the soul
  • No Trinity
  • No literal Hell where sinners are tortured

  It seems as if they just stop short of becoming Atheists and hold on to the few remaining beliefs/doctrines.

  Does God judge people on their physical aspects?

  by pseudoxristos in

  2. beliefs

  years ago, i attempted to discuss this topic with jehovah's witnesses in another discussion group.

  looking back on the discussion, i found that i was never able to really get to the bottom of the subject.

  i've never really understood witnesses belief in the spiritual aspect of humans without some belief in a soul (or spirit).

  I've never really understood Witnesses belief in the spiritual aspect of humans without some belief in a soul (or spirit). Since Witnesses do not believe that humans have a soul, then it stands to reason that they believe that we are simply physical beings. If this is the case, then God will ultimately judge humans on some physical aspect. This is pretty much equivalent to judging someone on their hair color.

  The Witnesses belief that a persons "spirit" is simply their breath (which returns to God at death) is also confusing to me. I mean what is the point if there is no other significance to a persons spirit.

  The worst gift of Christmas

  by GrreatTeacher in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  everybody gets one, the gift that stared up at you hopefully from its beautiful wrapping, and then, like a deflated balloon, delivers the worst gift ever.. i'm not talking about the gifts from small children like the "greatest aunt" coffee mug or the red and black lace folding fan.

  surely you never would have chosen them for yourself, but it's the thought that counts from small people who love you.. then, there's the what the hell were they thinking gifts.

  my mother-in-law has been giving these a lot lately.

  When I was around 12 years old (in the 70's), my grandmother gave me "soap-on-a-rope". Needless to say, I was not thrilled.

  New "most frustratingly addictive game ever" to play - agar.io

  by Simon in

  1. social
  2. entertainment

  one of my kids got me hooked on this.

  it's incredibly simple but also kind of fun and addictive.. you start as a small cell and need to eat things to grow.

  that's pretty much the game.. of course as you get bigger you can eat smaller cells too ... and bigger ones can eat you.. as you get bigger you get slower but you can "eject mass" to shrink and speed you up (w key).

  Sorry, there was no flag.

  I took pictures. I will post them later (it is 9:00pm here and I need to go to the gym before it closes).

  They were having a meeting and the Attendant saw me as I was taking the picture. He started walking out so I crossed the street and took one more.

  I happen to be in Chile (Antofagasta) right now. Tomorrow, I will walk up the hill to the Kingdom Hall and see if they have a flag. The 18th was "Fiestas Patrias", so there are literally Flags everywhere. I will send pictures if there is a one.

  i have nearly finished writing my 'apostate' book, which i will soon be publishing as a free e-book.

  here is an excerpt from it on the subject of evolution and the misconceptions about it held by jws.

  sorry it's a bit long, but i would appreciate any feedback.

  abiather,

  Humans are more "beautiful/handsome" because evolution has influenced our perception of beauty. If there are aliens, I'm sure that evolution would condition them to find humans much less beautiful than themselves.

  Noah preached 100-120 years and no followers. What the hell was he preaching?

  by James Mixon in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  let me see if i have this straight.

  we are to believe noah preached over a 100 years with 0 effect.. the bible records that lamech, noah's father had sons and daughter's but the number is not included.

  to have a plural number of brothers and sisters, there would be at least four siblings, two brothers and two sisters.. my folks had 6 kids and 90 years later there are over 100 family members.. some say based on what's written in gen.6:3, noah preached anywhere between 100-120 years.

  So, the coming of the "Son of Man" will be in the same manner (100-120 years of preaching without followers).

  
  

  Matt 24:37
  As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be ant the coming of the Son of Man.
