  during mao's cultural revolution images of the past were destroyed by the red guard.

  temples and churches were looted and religious statues destroyed.. this image was taken by li zhengshen at the jile temple in august 1966. the sign on the wall translates as "smash the old world".. will the left never learn?.

  Moralistic, compassionate and ethical are absolutely not the ownership of the broad sweep of 'left' or 'right' bias political or otherwise. ....hold your horses there boy ,an absolute in either camp has pitfalls..... if nothing else history tells us that oh how the mighty have often fallen.

  Is it alright for a Disfellowshipped Jehovah's Witness to Date?

  by preacherman in

  2. relationships

  it is said that a dfed is handed over to satan and left alone in his or her gross unrepentant conduct.

  however, you'll agree with me that not all dfeds are living that way.

  the truth is that some have actually repented and stopped their bad conducts but have fallen victim to the legalistic and procedural expediences of the wbts which makes it very difficult for some to come back in the shortest period of time.

  @cofty. ...rationality and non church membership do not necessarily go hand in hand. ....the emphasis is find compatability and hope that love flourishes. ....but no preaching, preacherman .

  How smart were the ancients?

  by Coded Logic in

  1. social

  growing up as a jw, i always thought the ancients were scientific morons who knew next to nothing.

  ashamedly, i used to run around citing isaiah 40:22 as proof of the bible's 'divine authorship' because it talked about "the circle of the earth".

  as though this were somehow an unknowable before spaceflight.

  Ancient civilisations and their feats of construction from design, calculation,engineering knowhow tooling to completion of projects is always a fascination with me. As far as the earth being a sphere, surely ancient mariners could calculate from the horizon effect of appearance and disappearance and the fact that the watercraft did not fall off the edge of the world that the planet was spherical. Their ancient knowledge of construction and related sciences tells me they would be able to calculate the world to be a sphere without solely relying on biblical text.

  there is a plethora of convention photos on my instagram this morning.

  Some addicted smokers or alcoholics would happily stand in front of tobacco or alcohol advertising posters and say " nope I'm not giving up " its the same deal with the addiction jws have for their internet product.

  The most successful teaching of Jehovah's Witnesses and an amazing new book on the divine name

  by slimboyfat in

  2. beliefs

  jehovah's witnesses have had to revise their chronology and various doctrinal interpretations due to events and scholarly corrections.

  but the one teaching where they have been consistently ahead of the curve is the importance of jehovah's name.. .

  i'm going to run through a (necessarily selective) timeline of jw events and scholarly publications that demonstrate the phenomenal success of this teaching in the last days.

  As we are now on ' going to war ' if someone comes to your door and physically threatens you and your family. .. how would you react ? ...by inviting them in ? Lets scale it up et voila !! Thats unfortunately the human race hence war and confrontation. .. there is no god yaweh jehovah or take your pick, no armaggedon, paradise or petting lions and tigers....get real and get over it !!!

  @sbf...." must be something bigger than ourselves " Is that not humanistic reasoning that got this whole 'god' sorry mess thing started back in the mists of time. Imo its about time the human race got real and kicked it into touch. We have the ability as a modern educated race to do so without hindrance from posts such as this claptrap! !

  @sbf...I think it would be appropriate for jws to look their 'gift horse' in the mouth, a bit of proper scrutiny wouldn't go amiss! !
