  terry walstrom posted this exceptional link on another thread.

  i think it so amazing that it should have a thread of its own so everyone can have clear and easy access to the document.

  Calling Cofty and others regarding evolution

  by dubstepped in

  so i have started down the path of trying to understand evolution, and to get the linear lies that the jws planted in my head out of it.

  i bought an audiobook called "evolution: what the fossils say and why it matters" by donald prothero.

  i heard it recommended on an atheist podcast that i listened to.

  Climbing Mount Improbable by Richard Dawkins answers very easily how an eye can see...he explains the many possibilities of the evolution of it.

  Just read an do research before spouting off nonsense or posting questions without researching the answer yourself.

  Try reading A Universe From Nothing by Lawrence M. Krauss.

  The answer is nothing is not nothing.

  Anointed Delusions of Grandeur

  by Kohanic in

  1. watchtower

  so here is something i've been wondering about.

  how do the 'anointed' come to the conclusion that they are chosen?

  is it some weird collective delusion of grandeur and how is it manifested in such ones?.

  new boy2 hours ago2 hours ago2 hours ago"Not one person has returned from the dead. Enough people have lived and died, you would have thought one of them might show some proof?"
  Not true there are many people who have died and have return after the were clinically dead. There are dozens of books about their experiences. They all say the same thing and it's this "That is life is not all there is!"

  And as we all know when you are dying synapses in the brain are going mental with electrical signals in dramatic rises...which explains any "experience".

  This is common knowledge.

  Strange

  by Jrjw in

  1. watchtower

  a couple of times at the meetings this year we've been told that in the future we might get some strange directions from the society that might not make any sense to us.

  then they've said will we show our loyalty to jehovah by still obeying?

  seems a rather unusual thing to say.

  They also said that the GB are not inspired and are not infalliable thus how can you be loyal to "strange" direction when they admit every policy and every teaching they produce may be wrong?

  How many anointed have come and gone; how many remain?

  by Moster in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  just wondering if there is any data about how many anointed there were in say 1914, and considering most would have passed 'beyond the veil' already, are the jw's numbers adding up?

  we know there are more in 2017 then there were in 2016, but just where are we in the grand total column?.

  The amount of anointed at Pentecost and onwards nearly hit the limit back then...5,000 men joined plus women etc...

  Then from 1914 how many have died and NOW there 18,500 odd claiming to be anointed.
