Hyper Tech

by IveBeenBitten in

this "world event" is a few years away but i'm in the field so i work everyday to prepare for it.. our technology is advancing at an exponential rate.

shit will hit the fan because of it.. even as a jw i knew this was coming.

in fact, i thought that's what the bible was talking about.

The great tribulation

by Allenbee in

where does one find the truth after the watchtower ?.

according to the jw governing body... only jw's are left on earth after armageddon.. so i'm a private bible student and find jesus and all the prophets in total disagreement with this "gov body" who like all religions leaders, are actually the prophesied false christs.. please read math 24 straight... to see how to survive the great tribulation.

only after the great tribulation does the sign of our lord's presence appear.. this is not armageddon yet.. discussion from private bible students is most welcome..

Please read Math 24 straight... to see how to survive the great tribulation.

I am personally convinced that this great tribulation or time of troubles was the destruction of the temple in Jerusalem in 70 CE. Likewise, "this generation" referred to that generation.

If there are errors in the text relative to what really happened, then so be it. Call it a continuity error or plot hole.

God wants to remain unidentified

by anointed1 in

1) books supposedly written by god contain errors.

2) people supposedly appointed by god make human rights violations.

and god does not prevent those things from happening.

Yeah, yeah, God is good. Yeah, yeah, God is great....

Broke, Dumb & Stupid....GB wants only these people.

by krismalone in

maybe this will become a new catch phrase describing the type of people that the governing body loves to have in their organization and that they create if they're born ins.. broke......dumb......& stupid.

let me explain:.

broke: the gb keeps their members in poverty by condemning higher education and demanding that all their time should be spent peddling the wt propaganda and going to all the meetings.

I do wonder if they'd be in the business at present of selling so many properties today if they had simply told their followers to go get degrees and good jobs, get married, and raise big families who would then go on to get degrees and good jobs.

For all the criticism that JWs have for Catholics and Mormons, they figured that out ages ago.

A Mathematic Perspective on Evolution

by Saethydd in

i would like to apologize in advance if any of my information on the biology side of this discussion is incorrect, because unfortunately it is not my strongest scientific subject on account of my being subtly encouraged to view it with distrust.. i've recently debated the of subject of evolution with my father, i made the argument that when viewed over several million years random mutation provides a more than adequate explanation for humans having evolved from a common ancestor with chimpanzees.

then he got this derisive look on his face a waved his hand saying "evolution's explanation for everything is the amount of time involved.".

so i decided i would examine this mathematically.

When I present a reasoning, if you try to get the spirit of reasoning, you benefit. If you concentrate on the words, you lose the whole point.

I got your reasoning just fine. You believe in a personal god and are resistant to anything but intelligent design, regardless of the flaws, contradictions, and infinite regress inherent in intelligent design.

As you may know, a computer program is made up of ones and zeros, like this: 110010101011000. The way they are arranged tell the computer program what to do.

Pet peeve: I get it, but I tire of that example, because it is not how programs are written. Binary is a numerical representation, and it is applied in computer science because of transistors being on and off, having enough power or not. Binary logic and arithmetic are important, but don't kid yourself if you think programmers are writing entire programs in binary. That would be dumb.

I have observed evolutionist and creationist, capitalist and communist, JWs and Catholics are arguing—they are all concerned with protecting their own interest, not facts.

You linked to a Christian creationist website before this statement. I'm just sayin.

Evolution is the change in genetic frequency and thus heritable traits over time and succeeding generations. This happens. It's observed, and has been for ages. It's a fact.

What's your alternative theory? What's your evidence for this alternative theory?
