  The Atheist's Book of Bible Stories - Ch. 22 - Biblical Apologists Toolkit

  by RunningMan in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  over the years, i have run into numerous persons who have attempted to defend the bibles literal accuracy.

  these opponents have presented explanations that range in quality from truly inspired justifications to pitifully lame excuses.

  for example, when one believer was confronted with the fact that the ancient temple was credited with containing enough raw materials for a building more than a thousand times its size, he replied, "well, maybe it had a basement.

  What's it gonna be?

  by Frenchy in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  some time back i noted on another board that what is really needed is a site wherein a witness can discuss his faith.

  not a site where everything that is not considered 'positive' is censored (what can you discuss then?

  ) and not a site for bashing jw's (if there is nothing positive, what's the point?

  Would you listen to a rumour?

  by Simon in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  remember that article brothers?we have been up and running for less than a week and already have had accusations of apostacy bandied about.please stop and think before you make a serious allegation like this.

  imagine the hurt it would cause to a genuine brother if it wasn't true.this doesn't mean that we should let our guard down against those who would try and disrupt things or cause divisions amongst us but i'm sure these poeple would like nothing more than to see us fall out with each other.some of these rumours have been spread by members of other boards or people pretending to be them.just be on your guard to this sort of activity and help us by not passing on unfounded accusations.thank you.
