Proof of God

by MrDantastic in

i'm an atheist as i do not see any evidence for the existance of a god.

i encourage critical thinking in everyone and am ready to debate anyone on whether or not there is a god and what that god might be like.

Faith it's not irrational but beyond reason. - Brazil
That is sophistry. It's like saying astrology is 'beyond astronomy' or numerology is 'beyond mathematics'.
Reason it's based on faith. Reason is built upon premises of faith
That is a strange assertion. Faith and reason are diametrically opposed. Faith is what you use as a foundation for things you want to believe but for which you have no evidence.

Faith is not antithetical to reason. It depends on what its based. You can have faith in someone or thing based on. The Oxford Dictionary defines the word as "complete confidence or trust in someone or thing. " I have faith that the sun will come up tomorrow. Faith in religion calls for belief without evidence but you seem to want to give things very narrow definitions. You seem to be very dogmatic in your belief not much different from the religions you decry.

JWtalk.net is an act of Disobedience

by Londo111 in

the governing body and watchtower publications make clear there is only one official website that jws should go to about their religion.

they do not approve of independent pro-jw forums.

this would also fall in line of there being no independent study groups, on the internet, or elsewhere.. for that matter, they do not approve of jws posting on behalf of their religion on social media, “apostate” websites, or anywhere else on the internet.

Writing anything or orginiing anything like this is called "running ahead of Jehovah" But most JWs don't know their ass from a hole in the ground so I give them a pass on ignorance.

Very true. Stupid JWs who are so zealot that they break the rules. When there was the whole Rock Music backward masking panic back in the mid 80s, some in bethel put out their own pamplet on what bands were evil. The cult came out and said there is only one place to get what we need to know and that is from the GB. But its funny to sit back and watch the numb nuts do it.

Are Jehovah's Witnesses selfish??

by stuckinarut2 in

is the average jehovah's witness selfish and self-centred?.

i know, i know...many will object and say "no - preaching is the most selfless thing a jw can do.

it saves others lives...".

I remember my grandfather had to give a talk at an assembly about JWs need to learn to tip properly that they were getting a reputation for being cheap.

Bible comes alive if we look for meaning behind the symbols it uses

by Ireneus in

bible contains too much human thinking presented as though from god, thus much of its information brings dishonor to god.. yet it contains great beneficial truths behind the symbols it uses.

let us take the only two cases of miracles jesus performed without any request from anybody which would show the very purpose of his ministry:.

1) jesus healed a woman who “was bent over and could not straighten up at all.” (luke 13:11-13).

When WWII ended, how difficult was it for the JW's that had been in prison to adjust?

by Sobeit in

my husband seemed to have a hard time..

blownaway

If I have my facts correct, I remember one elder who was born in the 20s who went to prison instead of the military in WW2. He also had the choice of giving up his social security and had to work till the day he died. Very sick as the top asshat wankers in the Gov Body live like kings.

Unwillingly I continue to annoy JWs

by Alex Bogdanov in

jw
friends

hi, i have excellent news.

i posted here before that the book i wrote was published.

four months passed by since.

blownaway

My mother was an author. She wrote several books for a company that publishes romance novels. She used a pseudonym because the JWs did not like romance novels. They were not really into writing books period because it took time away from service. She did not want to stir up trouble so she published under another name. Some people knew but it was not big deal to everyone. She never made much money from the company but she loved it. She was PIMO and was waiting for her dad the elder and former CO and SP to die and she said that she would not go back to a KH.
