  God Has Only One Visible Organization on Earth!

  by Vanderhoven7 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  why is it important to some that god only have one visible organization to represent him on earth?

  why is it important to jehovah's witnesses that people recognize their organization as such?

  what makes a witness more moral or righteous or save-worthy if they accept that it is his one and only organization?

  admittedly it 90% crap over there but still they are up to 80k in subscribers.

  over here it's the same half dozen or so that posts something, including myself.

  why is that?.

  i think it's been a while since this was asked.

  tell us your hobbies, interests, pastimes, whatever you find enjoyable as a diversion from work and school.

  i am lucky enough to live in a small cabin on a lake, i enjoy rowing my old boat and fishing, i play with car projects, and we travel as much as we can.

  I never down vote. I think that you are correct - if their identity is shown would people still do it ?

  Vienne , yes there are people who don't always spell properly and whose grammar isn't perfect like what mine is .

  However I'm not sure that bad spelling and grammar indicates a lack of wisdom

  Education and wisdom are two different things . .

  Is most of the promotion of creationism, not just that by the WT, charlatanism?

  by Disillusioned JW in

  is most of the promotion of creationism, not just that by the wt, charlatanism?.

  https://www.fullmoon.nu/sources.bak/chapter%2010/part%202/gish%20exposed.html [which has an article called "creationism: bad science or immoral pseudoscience?

  - (an expose of creationist dr. duane gish)"] says the following.. 'a look at the "scientific" creationist movement and a close examination of the tactics of a well-known and influential creationist will reveal that the creation "science" movement gains much of its strength through the use of distortion and scientifically unethical tactics.. .... with the facts explained and the lawsuits won, scientists declared victory and returned to their labs and offices.

  Well it does show that science and a knowledge of doesn't have to clash with faith. It's not a case of either or as creationists believe.

  Apostate Hunter?

  by Lost in the fog in

  has anyone heard of this jw guy?.

  apparently he writes a weekly (weakly?

  ) blog as well as having written this book where he claims he disses the claims of "apostates".. to know what apostates are saying he has to be engaging with them or tuning into websites like this one, contravening the gb's direction not to do so.

  Isn’t It A Materialistic, Even Selfish Hope

  by BluesBrother in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  as witnesses we always looked forward to the new world but the talks were more about the incoming king and man’s freedom from oppression.

  although we looked forward to the good things ,we recognised that initially things may be hard .

  we would have to cope with physical work , and lack of many things we were used to today.

  I have just read Jesus's words to the Sadducees who asked about the resurrection

  " those who are considered worthy of taking part in the age to come and in the resurrection from the dead will neither marry nor be given in marriage and they can no longer die , for they are like Angels. "

  I have heard that Witnesses go round choosing the best houses to live in after Armageddon. Yes that is simply conforming to the world's standards , something that we are warned against.
