  Naturalism is Dead - Why Are Believers Stuck in the Past?

  by Perry in

  sigmund freud, karl marx and charles darwin are considered the pillars of modern western thought.

  they differed in many ways but had one thing in commonthey were reductionists who claimed that all higher realms of existence could be explained by lower natural causes.

  they were the pillars of naturalism.. but their ideas were tested during the twentieth century and found wanting.

  "it is about a FAILED worldview."

  The only worldview that has failed time and time again is the religious one. Science is always progressing, always refining our knowledge and understanding of the universe around us.

  Fundamentalists contribute nothing to the world of science but somehow use it to prove they are right. What???!!! I used to believe that the Bible was junk. Now, after diligent study of its history and formation, I have changed my mind. It's a great book to understand history, culture and religion when you put in its time and historical context. The problem is not the Bible, or any book older than the Bible, but people like Perry who belong to a time 2 or 3 millenia ago. Absolutely frustrating to see people stuck so far into the past!

  Translating JWFacts to Spanish... Update?

  by ILoveTTATT in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  as you all may know, it is an ongoing project to translate jwfacts to spanish.

  given that there are more than 2 spanish-speaking jw's for every one that speaks english, it can be safely said that spanish is the #1 language in the jw world (even though everything is made originally in english).. the spanish-speaking jw's are harder to convince.

  i attribute it almost 100% to socioeconomic factors.

  Need to find those Km or Wt articles encouraging all to read the old publications!

  by stuckinarut2 in

  i have been dropping comments to a few re some classic old beliefs and teachings etc... and when asked "where did you read that, or how come you are saying such and such?

  " i have replied "well, you remember we have often been told to study and research our old 'theocratic history' and 'old gems' of material?....

  now though i have been challenged to prove where this has been printed!.

  Great quotes.

  Makes me almost be convinced that apostates are inside and write this stuff to surreptitiously awaken people.

  Could they walk any slower on the ministry(tm)?

  by punkofnice in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i was out in my car this saturday as i went to visit my friend.. i saw the jws scattered about mooching down the streets.. i arrived home in a different area to where my friend lives.

  as i opened my door there was an invitation to the mock the christ ritual.

  a group of jws mooched past my house, looked at me rather lethargically and carried on mooching along.. considering they don't know i'm an 'apostate(tm)', they certainly were in no hurry to beg me to come to their mock the christ charade considering that if i don't go jar-hoover will lovingly murder me soon (subject to overlapping(tm) ).. i know we had 'the pioneer walk(tm)' back in the day but puh-leeeeeeeze!

  Ann,

  Please get me the link to your thread regarding the error on dating this memorial. Today I expect to see the crescent for the first time again. According to my SkyX there's a lag time of 77 minutes between sunset and moonset here in California. That's plenty to be able to see the crescent. in Jerusalem there's (there was) a lag time of 50 minutes. It's close, but enough to see the crescent, at least according to empirical data.

  Regarding the "speedy" preaching, I can say the same thing of Spanish speaking JW's living in the U.S. They are so, so slow. So painful to see so many young ones robbed of their personal goals, dreams and their chance at the pursuit of hapiness.

  To complement it get the studies of Doug Mason and Carl Olof Jonsson. Search also for information regarding VAT4956. Lots of people have used their astronomy programs to confirm the 37th year of the reign of Nebuchanezzar (568/567BCE)

  Maybe you should use your line of argument of the multiple proofs offered by Moses and compare that to the FDS, and offer really lame proofs suchas their claim they are appointed by God according to the Watchtower so and so. ..or they claim to have been chosen between 1914 to 1919 when the iconic Finished Mystery book was written. It may get someone to think, or it may lead you to a JC eventually.
