Your thoughts on demons, ghosts and spirits

by Crazyguy in

as a jw were taught all about demons but i never had an incident.

my wife believes wholeheartedly says her family including her has had problems with them.

i have met people that even non religious people that say they have experienced a ghost or a spirit.

I repeat this many times on here....

In this day of age, in 2014 where there are more mobile devices on the planet than actual human beings where these devices can record photo and video footage at a high resolution not ONE picture or video has been produced to support evidence of any supernatural phenomenon.

Therefore one must conclude there are no ghosts/demons/ghouls/mummies/vampires/werewolves/<insert fictional horror creature>

.

And the same line of evidence can be used to conclude if there is a god or not...

.

Of course, there are still unexplained events that people experience but has nothing to do with anything supernatural.

The problems Bible believers have with Atheists is the burden of proof is on the Believer and we just do not have enough proof.

by booker-t in

i recently posted a post telling this board my athesit coworker stumped me with questions about the validity of the ark story and i just cannot stop talking to her.

i love hearing her side and point of view which in the past i would have dismissed as "satanic" thinking.

she has some very good questions and i am having a hard time answering them.

Athiesm is not a belief system...much like OFF is not a TV channel or NOT going skiing is my hobby...

It is simply a lack of belief in a God in the first place to then make a decision whether to believe in him or not...

Science proves there is a God

by seekchristonly in

fusion with god natural .

in the cosmos universe or whatever.

all things are made of the same materials etc so humans will always be fused with the universe in life and death because those building blocks are eternal.

A few thoughts on the District, um, Regional... sigh....

by Apognophos in

i don't even know what the bloody event is called anymore.

i think it's still a district convention until it goes to two days, isn't it?

my convention program leaflet just says "convention of jehovah's witnesses", seemingly intentionally avoiding the change in wording.

I want to know. Don't you?

by Old Goat in

some of you are probably a bit tired of me promoting these history books, but im doing it again.

1. nelson barbour: the millenniums forgotten prophet.

de vienne is not.

So the author who is a JW...does his book go against the doctrines of the society? Are these books therefore pro JW? If not how does he rationalize being a JW but write the true history of JW's????

What is the key to free yourself from the Organization?

by suavojr in

they key to free yourself from the organization is having mental clarity of what is happening in relation to the watchtower, inside and out.

their basic concept is that they are god's sole organization on earth.

there really is no basis for anyone to make that statement.

notsurewheretogo

The OP is right...as soon as you realise that the FDS are not the sole channel of communication by God and that he would never use them then the house of cards come tumbling down very fast because it is amazing to see how many of the core doctrines we use to believe that came from the FDS without scriptural evidence (evidently Jesus meant an overlapping generation..evidently meaning based on evidence...where is the evidence?) that we just accepted on the premesis that they were chosen...

Once you hit that point you will fade fast...I did.

Midweek Meetings no longer Necessary

by Tech49 in

i am sure we have all seen the recent letter to the boe concerning the change that will take place to the meeting arrangement during the week of the co visit.

to recap the basics: the meeting that usually contains the cong bible study (book study) and a co talk will be discontinued, publishers are encouraged to use their family worship night that week to cover book study material.. so here is a point that i think has been missed, or not even considered:.

if that particular meeting is hereby deleted from the schedule, the co and his wife will never ever have to participate in or go to another "book study", or "bible study" night again.

Steamroll? Still think like a JW? Oh my...you don't like my points so you try to discredit the person...I know that tactic from somewhere...pathetic.

What is the Yes or No answer to this question: Is encouraging publishers of no concern to all CO's?

You claim the answer is Yes. All I'm saying is the answer is No.

End of.
