There is science that prove God exists

by HopeEverLasting in

jw
friends

jehovahs witnesses think that just the bible is proof that god exists but they are wrong.

there is another mode for how he exists.

now we all know many scientists who are creationists now weren’t creationists until they examined the evidence for themselves.

Our Coke which art in cans,

Swallowed be thy liquid.

Thy bubbles come,

Thou be smelled,

Both at home as in store.

Give us this day of coke plenty,

And forgive us our lust for Pepsi,

As we also have forgiven those who drink it beside us.

And lead us not into Dr Pepper,

But deliver us from such evil.

-

Our Pasta which art in pans,

Tasted be thy sauce.

Thy meatballs come,

Thy will be eaten,

Both at home and in restaurant.

Give us this day garlic bread,

And forgive us our lack of cheese,

As we also have forgiven those who mock the pirates.

And lead us not into vegetarianism,

But deliver us from such evil.

-

Our Unicorn which art invisible,

Heard be thy hooves.

Thy pinkness come,

Thy visage be as moonlight,

Both from North as from South.

Give us this day thy fairy dust,

And forgive us our emperor's new clothes,

As we also have forgiven those who think thou art purple.

And lead us not into carnivorism,

But deliver us from such evil.

Wait... I believe my faith has led to confusion. Which God are you talking about...? Not sure which one I should pray to for creating me...

Why do so many JW's argue that they do not believe what they clearly do?

by Crabby in

i ask a question recently, which was why do jw's not salute the flag, and i ask what page of the bible directs this practice.. all i got back was that i do not know what i am talking about and that they are allowed to do this, when i dropped 40000 google links proving that they do not salute the flag they just deleted it as though my proof could not exist.

seriously this is common knowledge, my neighbor just put up a flag to keep the guy across the street away.

so are there jw's who have no clue what they believe, or should believe?

Dunedain - It is looked at as a "badge of courage" of sorts. It is also looked at as a defining action, or non-action, that binds JW's together.

Yup. When I was still in high school as an unbaptised publisher, I never stood up to the Canadian anthem because of Jehovah's Witness beliefs. I've been called different kinds of things by my colleagues because of that; for instance, I have once been called Hitler. When some of the Witnesses in my congregation learned about it, they thought that I'm serious about my faith (and I was at the time.) Then, they surely did approach me with a different attitude—sort of "call me if and when you wanna meet up," etc.

I believe in Evolution and that God created life

by Crabby in

anyone else also hold this view or understand it at least, or do you feel the need to argue that both can in no way coexist?.

Finkelstein - How does one define god without evidence ?

Haven't encountered that question yet. Interesting.

I could easily believe in evolution and God in the context that you provide, but I don't—and for different reasons. I don't believe in the latter because of suffering and overall lack of interaction on God's part with his creation, so I would have to agree with bsmart here. If he did create us, "he walked away 10 minutes later."

The Witnesses I have been around could answer this type of question without a problem. It doesn't mean that I'd agree with them, but in my area, they can explain their own theology rather easily.

Convicted Child Rapist Proselytizing. Is the Community Aware? Is the Community Safe?

by freemindfade in

Why was the other guy covering his ears...? I wanna know... I wanna know...!

Edit: Just read berrygerry's post. Guilty conscience maybe...?

Plastic Surgery

by raven in

hi everyone- i don't have much of an update on my current situation ( refer to previous posts ) august 1st has past, (the day the judicial committee was supposedly held against me- and that i didn't attend, no word on anything as of now, thankfully i am moving to a new home next week which means no more elders sending me spooky jc invite mail!

anyways, i'm getting off the main reason why i'm posting.. so i have tendency to drift off into thought and have discussions with myself, ( i'm not crazy i swear!

) i was thinking today, have we heard any more updates on appearances?

Saename

Bonsai - My wife used to get counseled a lot in the KH and get summoned into the back room on account of her dresses being hot pink or orange or any other loud color that she preferred ( that's a big no no for Japanese JWs).

Is there something in the Japanese culture about the significance (or whatever else) of such colours? If so, would it be the culture of the elderly people or the culture of the young people? Or is it something that the Japanese Jehovah's Witnesses completely made up on their own, presumably while on drugs?

Paranormal Warning

by Cold Steel in

i've heard some weird stories coming from jws about the paranormal.

i know about the warnings about items that come from unbelievers -- those don't interest me as much.

what i am interested in are actual experiences in stories of the paranormal you've heard or experienced yourself.

Is Pokemon Demonic?

by Saename in

[spoiler: pokemon is an invitation to communication with or possession by demons because... well... pokemon comes from demons.

so... i was looking through different questions on quora, and i noticed one that read, "is pokemon demonic?

" i was interested in seeing what people have to say, especially that not so long ago there was a thread (or a post in a thread?

Saename

Crabby - No, it's a money making scam as once you get to a certain level you have to pay.

I've never played Pokemon GO (I assume you're referring to Pokemon GO), so I wouldn't know about that. But I'm not surprised. Thanks for letting me know either way.

[Spoiler: Pokemon is an invitation to communication with or possession by demons because... well... Pokemon comes from demons. We all know that, right?]

So... I was looking through different questions on Quora, and I noticed one that read, "Is Pokemon demonic?" I was interested in seeing what people have to say, especially that not so long ago there was a thread (or a post in a thread?) that talked about Jehovah's Witnesses and Pokemon. Do Jehovah's Witnesses condemn Pokemon? What do they think of it?

Up until now I heard nothing but silence...

So... well... in this question, I saw a very interesting answer (okay, maybe not necessarily interesting...). The style of writing seemed to be Jehovah's Witness-like, and when I checked the user's other answers, sure enough, it turned out the guy is a Jehovah's Witness.

Please enjoy what this Jehovah's Witness had to say about whether Pokemon is demonic (and please do look at the comments!): Is Pokemon Demonic? Jehovah's Witness Answers Your Concerns!
