ive been pondering my beliefs for a while now and ive come across things that i just cant accept.
i was recently walking with a christian who stated that the universe couldnt just come from nothing.
he said that the universe was so complex that it needed a designer, he also said something which ive heard before.
The laws of nature weren't made to match or follow a mathematical constant, the constants exist separate from nature. Nature just happens to be measurable by mathematical constants.
So to say that nature is so "finely tuned" that it couldn't come about but by a designer is false. Nature predates any and all mathematical and scientific observation and emasurement.
im at a crossroads my friends.
im beginning to feel that my oppurtunities to get my wife out are waning.
weve misssed many meetings she still smokes a cig a day.
Hmm tough situation! If she smokes even a little, does she feel guilty about it or fine? If she feels fine then she is able to think for herself. Build on that.

Congrats!
It's funny, I think it was a conversation with an uber Christian that helped me realize I was an atheist, too. Just being able to poke holes in their arguments and reasons for believing... It's too easy.
or is it the things of this world?
for example, model coco rocha caught my attention this morning and of course she is a jehovahs witness.
she says, "my faith is everything.
I've seen her at some assemblies. You could tell she was just there with her mom, not regularly. Especially considering the attention she was getting.
underlining is mine.. march 6, 2012 letter.
pursue divine education:some of our brothers are pursuing higher education, feeling that they can acquire a measure of financial security.
as you are aware, the educational system varies from country to country.
Wow... Can we please get a scan on this letter? Any way at all? Very interested.
How can anyone say this isn't a cult?
this to me is simply unreal!
imagine having to answer the following:.
km 2014. awake march 2014. were visiting briefly to try to clear up a misconception that many have about this bible verse.
This is great! A perfect opportunity to get a believing loved one azking serious questions about the bible.
Thank you WT! More ignorant garbage, please.
i have heard that line of rubbish more times from the platform, especially around this time of year.
yet, given the number of children with few or no toys, about 90% of the time, they get little or nothing year round.
sometimes it is because of poverty, often induced because the parents are supposed to cut back on their work and pious-sneer or donate excessive amounts to the worldwide pedophile defense fund (or both).
I used to say that. I didn't get shit.
if you want to read the definitive explanation on fossils and how life arrived its covered in darwins doubt, by s.c. meyer.
this is a game changer.
the bomb!.
DS211, don't bother. You've mace a great point, which QC wikindly ignore and go on to make more absurd assertions to which he will will provide zero facts. If you're willing to play his game, go ahead. Many of us have given up.
On the bright side, this thread may hopefully have opened some eyes to the poor argument creationists can present. Just more baseless assertions.
love is a stupid bunch of chemicals released to ensure that we have kids so believe many an evolutionist (god delusion).
whilst i dont believe in a god i find that reasoning hard to believe.. .
what do you think love is?
I love my dog, my dog loves me. Does that mean we want to have puppies?
hi folks.
october 15 2013 study watchtower page 7 para 3. the paragraph states that.
"fundamentalists of christendom teach that the universe, including our earth.
The JW version of creationism still requires then to be willfully ignorant of credibly scientific facts... Only someone who gets ALL of his info from the WT could be expected to buy this crap. Their lies will only continue to wake people up!
