Is the WBTS still an NGO in other courntire?

by senora in

i am new to this site and would be classified as a fader, i just go to maybe one meeting a week and am nearing the end of my fading process.. what bothered me first was the pedophile problem then just reflecting on how crazy jw's act, i think they are too obsessed with worshiping men, especially the gb, elders, co's, do's, its just too crazy.

i've personally seen elders do some very wrong things and they don't get in trouble at all.

then i realized that these men are so corrupt because they don't believe what the wt teaches.

It looks like They were involved with the following organization:

OSCE

The Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe

About
With 56 States drawn from Europe, Central Asia and America, the OSCE is the world's largest regional security organization, bringing comprehensive and co-operative security to a region that stretches from Vancouver to Vladivostok. It offers a forum for political negotiations and decision-making in the fields of early warning, conflict prevention, crisis management and post-conflict rehabilitation, and puts the political will of the participating States into practice through its unique network of field missions.

If you search this website, you will find that they are listed as participants in the following:

2006 OSCE HUMAN DIMENSION
IMPLEMENTATION MEETING

Here is the information found in the list of participants:

248 Office of General Counsel for Jehovah's Witnesses
100 Watchtower Drive; Patterson, NY 12563; U.S.A.
Mr. Gregory ALLEN
Associate General Counsel
E-mail: [email protected]
Tel: +1-845-306 07 11
Fax: +1-845-306 07 09

I have not found that they are listed as an NGO with this organization, but they may well be.

This is worth investigating, but I doubt that NGO status here has anything to do with the UN. If they are an NGO associated with this organization, it just simply means that they are one of the non-governmental organization associated with the OSCE.

Watched TV evangelists for the first time today

friends

i was flipping through the channels while doing cardio and i decided to hear what a couple of these people had to say.

while i've determined that i'm agnostic, this one guy was pretty good...he was practical and funny.

he made the bible seem more like a good self-help book than a "book laws to be obeyed or else you'll die".

I've always thought that Jesse Duplantis was rather comical. Just looking at him makes me want to laugh. He should have been a comedian instead of a televangelist. I've never actually listened to him very long though.

If you dont believe in God...according to the bible you are a fool!

by Blackboo in

the fool has said in his heart there is no "god" how can this?

why do non-believers jump to such a conclusion?

i have notice many former witnesses have lost faith in god because of a a "religion" who didnt measure up to what it claims.

pseudoxristos

Blackboo,

Take a look at how your questions evolve each time we give you an answer. Now continue this process for several million years. Eventually you will evolve to become an Atheist. That is if you use the brain that evolution has produced for you.

Blackboo,

Is it necessary to understand in excruciating detail how God created Man and his ability to think before you will accept the biblical account of creation?

Blackboo,

Now that you've moved on to questions about evolution, does this mean that we've answered your who created the person that created god question to your satisfaction?

Deciding on the Basis of Research

by hmike in

for those of you who aren't familiar with lee strobel, he is the author of christian popular apologetic books.

his releases include the case for faith, the case for christ, and, most recently, the case for the real jesus.

a journalist with a legal background, his case books contain interviews with scholars and experts who give scholarly defenses of the christian positions to which the books are devoted.

pseudoxristos

hmike,

Interesting post.

The one thing I noticed that I felt was rather unusual was that Mr. Strobel claims to have been an Atheist first and then became a Christian after his research. This sequence of events is the exact opposite of my experience and nearly every other Atheist I have ever spoken with.

I was raised a Christian, accepting all of the basic beliefs with little question. Like many others I was a Christian purely on an emotional level. It wasn’t until I was forced to research the Bible and Christianity that I became an Atheist.

If there are any other Atheist on the forum that did not arrive at their position in a similar manner, I would be very surprised.

Blackboo,

First of all, welcome to the forum.

Next of all, it is kind of hard to follow your logic on the reason you think we should answer the question of "If God was created who created the person who created God?"

The simple answer is we “non-believers/atheist” see it the exact same way as you do. The idea that someone had to created someone that created someone that created God is ridiculous.

The idea that the universe came into existence without a creator is just as logically valid as a creator coming into existence without a creator.

So the argument that universe required a creator is flawed.

The Bible - God's Word or Man's? - What Convinces You?

by sweet pea in

having believed the whole bible, hook, line and sinker all these years i get the impression many of you have come to the conclusion that we should take it with a pinch of salt and not hold to it so dogmatically.

and some possibly believe in it just as much as you did when you were a witness.

to save me some time please, lovely people, as i am very lazy - could you share with me why you do or don't believe in it - what evidence there is either way and if there are any particular books that you found helpful in coming to your conclusions?

pseudoxristos

nvr,

LOL, I started to do that but was to lazy to finish it.
