Beliefs About What Caused the Universe

by Perry in

the universe can be observed to be expanding.. an expanding universe must have had a beginning.

whatever begins to exist had a cause.

therefore the universe had a cause.

Are the anointed really "lovely people"?

by purrpurr in

i've personally never met any of those who claim to be anointed but the other jw's who have are always unanimous in their praise of how lovely and what wonderful people they are.

and i don't mean the gb i mean common or garden anointed.

i was told that when they speak about being in heaven that they almost "seem to glow".. is this right?

I did summer pioneering once near Glasgow...local cong asked us young pioneers to visit an older infirm women who was of the anointed.

We chatted, had tea and cakes and then she asked if it was ok if we studied the Watchtower with her.

Sure we said...thinking we would help her understand a tricky WT about Armageddon...

She breezed through the WT and every scripture we had to look up she just simply quoted...she knew them all.

I was in utter awe...this old women, in a wheelchair, physical body failing but my goodness her mind was sharp...that experience convinced me about "the anointed"...

Sadly I met another one who was so horribly cruel that he got disfellowshipped for slander...

I look back now and realize the elderly woman only had the WT to cling to and therefore soaked it up...

No historical evidence for bronze age men living to 500yrs old?

by purrpurr in

the bible tells us that noah etc lived to 500yrs old as did many other characters who lived apparently to incredible years.. yet archaeological research tells us from looking at skeletons that have been dug up that the average lifespan was very short.

if a man got to the age of 50 they would have considered that quite an achievement.

when i was in i always wondered about this?

Wasn't there a kid in the bible that was getting weaned at like 8 or something?

Start your own Prince rumour!

by purrpurr in

i see the jw rumour mill is going into mad overdrive about prince.

the stories seem to be more and more unlikely.

so i thought as a bit of fun how about us here try to make up our own rumours?

Prince was one of the anointed and now is ready to unleash the Great Tribulation in his heavenly form...

Watchtower set for its biggest pay day, ever.

by pleaseresearch in

if this is true, and we will have to wait and see.

prince could give everything to the watchtower.

so that's his $300 million fortune.

He was 57...I am 40 and I have a will...he is a massive celebrity with a fortune...he had PA's, accountants, advisors etc.

They all would say to him that a will is a must.

The Daily Mail reported in a headline he had no will and that his next of kin, his crack addict sister inherits everything but if you read the article it said IF he had not made a will.

I'm pretty sure Prince's advisors made him have a will.

If you have not seen this clip about Prince from Kevin Smith watch it...it is brilliant.
