  If there's anything that convinces a Christian the Bible isn't infallible...

  by ilikecheese in

  1. jw

  it's got to be reading the old testament.

  that is some messed up sh!t.. .

  your choices are basically to think it's based on things that happened but men's version of events, there is tons of allegory, that it's just a bunch of made up nonsense, or to rip those parts of your bible out and pretend they don't exist.. .

  Let it in my friend, let it in. That's your mind trying to work on its own!

  If it's only the OT that bothers you, I suggest Bart D. Ehrman's 'Jesus, interrupted'

  end results can determine worth of anything!

  (mathew 11:19) by this simple criterion, scientists and religions are not very reliable.

  it contains both gods word and mans word.

  Next time you or a loved one gets sick, better stay away from the hospital and all it's scientific evils. Maybe try acupuncture instead? It's not as sciencey.

  As your loved one lays dying in your home, you can feel good that you didn't support science and all it's satanic evils.

  Brahma Kumaris lol have a nice day

  33 percent of Americans reject evolution

  http://news.cnet.com/8301-17852_3-57616373-71/33-percent-of-americans-reject-evolution/.

  that seems to be a disturbingly high number for a western / educated / developed nation.. does this have anything at all to do with america slipping behind in the sciences?

  it seems hard to imagine they could not not be linked somehow.. no surprise that the jesus party (republicans) reject evolution the most.

  It used to be 40%! Things are looking up!

  America's faith system will be its final undoing. Even more than its greed and ignorance

  You don't want any nagging doubts, you will never be satisfied either way until you are sure.

  Educate yourself my friend.

  There Is No Atheist In Practice!

  by abiather in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  1) in conscious level, everyone agrees with the principle of cause and effect that says a cause precedes every effect, and every effect is the cause for another effect/s.

  in subconscious level, everyone knows that if there is a cause for everything, then there a cause (or a designer) for the principle of causation also.

  and this cause is more real than the principle of causation itself, just like source is more real than the resources!.

  If god exists, he's a dick and doesn't deserve acknowledgement of his existence. Let alone worship.

  Have a nice day

  New Study Exposes Acupuncture As Pseudoscience

  by alecholmesthedetective in

  besides it being pseudoscience, what interests me about this is that even though it's something to do with the "qi" energy flowing in our bodies, that wasn't a problem for some members of my family or a special pioneer i knew.. new study exposes acupuncture as pseudoscience.

  JWs love pseudoscience! Anything to distrust Satan's medical system. I've yet to meet a JW who will accept that homeopathy is bullshit.

  Qi energy or not, they will give it a try. As long as there isn't any hand waving or chanting.

  Ive even known JWs who have made their living on homeopathy and reflexology

  Welcome!

  Take the others' here advice and take. It. Slow. You will be doing a lot of reading, a lot of thinking and not a lot of sleeping for the next few months.

  And whatever you do... I can't be clear enough about this... Do NOT spill the beans to your wife yet. Or anyone for that matter. Figure your end out first. You will go through all of the regular phases of grief and she will be concerned.. Deflect for now. We read a lot of stories just like yours and mine here everyday. Of all of the success stories, it is most often the ones who are very careful and play the long game with their spouses who have much better chances. Personally I spilled the beans completely after about a month, and now 2.5 years later I've still not convinced my wife to get out with me. We are making progress for sure, but that ONE conversation set us back years. I can't stress this enough.

  Also do all of the recommended reading. All of it. Self education is your best bet right now.
