  Evolution is a Fact #11 - Tiktaalik

  by cofty in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  one of the biggest gulfs that life has had to cross was the transition from sea to dry land.. fish have conical shaped heads, reptiles have flat heads.

  fish have no necks; their heads are attached to their shoulders by a series of bony plates.

  land-dwelling animals all have necks; their heads can move independently of their shoulders.

  The Heresy of Neutrality

  by Perry in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the one thing that keeps jw's worshiping the watchtower corporations more than (or as much as) anything else is the issue of neutrality.

  neutrality is such a benign sounding word isn't it?

  it even sounds religious.

  What are the biggest holes in evolution?

  by shadow in

  how honest are the proponents of evolution?

  idk but curious to see what type of response there is on a topic like this or does their study only seek to confirm their preconceptions and ignore uncomfortable facts?

  The lack of transitional forms.

  The incredible complexity of such organs as the eye.

  The development of instincts in animals.

  The sterility of crossbreeding in animals.

  The relative quick advance of modern man compared to the species and a certain self awareness not found in other species.

  Preaching = Salvation... NOPE!

  today's text:.

  monday, january 25. to the extent that you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.—matt.

  25:40.. early in his discourse found in matthew chapters 24 and 25, jesus indicated that the sign of his presence would include a remarkable feature—the good news of the kingdom would “be preached in all the inhabited earth.” (matt.

  I was trying to find a good commentary about faith vs works on the internet the other day and got frustrated. Finally I just read the entire Chapter of James 2 to see if I was missing something.

  Once I actually figured out the context , James was really saying “ Don’t claim to be born again or saved by faith “ while ignoring the poor and people in need. There really is no conflict with Paul and Romans.

  The ironic part is the watchtower is so critical of the false religions of Christendom for using outreach work while quoting James and while the chapter is about it is our Christian duty to use outreach work, while the WTS won’t piss on the average person if they were on fire.

  Man, it takes a special kind of stupid to be a JW sometimes.

  I know a guy that was DF and worked as a purchasing agent for a school board. He needed to buy 60 computers. He decided to send in a request for a bid to his uncle the elder who owned a computer shop.

  All he got in return was an email saying he can’t talk to him.

  So much for treating a person like a gentile or man of the nations. He couldn’t even be civil on a professional level.

  FYI. The computer shop is now bankrupt and he works as a janitor.

  Do JW get counseled for buying a home?

  by thedepressedsoul in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i was curious, i couldn't find much on it.

  if anything, there are a few articles that give advice on how to properly buy a home, mortgage, good location etc... .

  do you know if the elders can counsel on this matter or remove privileges over it?

  The majority of Elders in my wife’s hall are renters. They are in their 50s and wouldn’t have more than 1500 dollars to their name.

  At least you can get that rug cleaning and window washing contract for your apartment building.

  Finical or investment advice from an elder .............LMFAO

  I hope you realize the likelihood this isn’t going to work at 44? I am not trying to be a jerk, I have been down this path and it’s full of heartache. We were told when I was 40 and she was 38 by a doctor unless you are really rich ( which we are not) that I am most likely just taking your money.

  The doctrine of neutrality requires a person to believe that everyone is the moral equal of each other.

  American solider =ISIS terrorist, United States=North Korea. It is just asinine

  If the bible says love they neighbour and someone is putting your neighbour onto the death trains of Auschwitz, I am not exactly sure working as janitors and babysitters for the SS is as Christian as they think it is.

  CONSPIRACY THEORISTS at your door

  by Terry in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  isn’t the watchtower society valuable because it gets people talking about important issues in our world?.

  hell no!.

  this argument presupposes that jehovah’s witnesses are ethically neutral–that if the core doctrine (the truth) is not true, its untruth is harmless, but if (by wild coincidence) the governing body of this organization happen to aim a wayward arrow at some real-world issue that needs addressing, the watchtower is a net positive because it directed, at least, some energy toward addressing essential issues of life.

  I don’t know if the average Jehovah Witness realizes how the insertion of the name Jehovah in the New Testament changes the entire doctrine of the bible. Not really a subject I need to get into but when the foundation of your beliefs is the bible has been changed? What do you really believe in?
