"I think sometimes our culture has, like a.....overly heavy reliance on, like... science."
Wise words. Let's get back to the dark ages.
this short video demonstrates how faith is impervious to facts.. the contributers are honest about their beliefs but so badly deceived about reality it is quite depressing.
spot the canards - some of them are jaw-dropping.. pastor peter laruffa exudes, "if somewhere within the bible, i were to find a passage that said two plus two equals five, i wouldn't question what i'm reading in the bible.
i would believe it, accept it as true, and then do my best to work it out and understand it.".

BluesBrother, I noticed you have been a member here since 2001, and you are still attending. Thats tough, I feel for you.
Remember, he who endures to the end is the one who will be saved. I'll ask the flying spaghetti monster to give you strength.
i think the organization is worried most about how jws will stay loyal to their families even as it rejects the admonition of the gb and elders..
Looking at how the GB fill out their suits, I'd say running out of bacon would be pretty high on their list.
i was always told that god did loads of stuff that was evidence of his existance.
ususally very brutal things too (b#st@rd).. jesus walked on water and raised the dead we are told.. it seems to me also that the older the story, the more exaggerated it is...y'know...talking snake......global flood.. there are those that claim god speaks to them now and they alone 'know' it.
(cuckoo!!!).
I don't know, I kinda bought the whole talking snake story. Sounds pretty legit.
when perry posted: who made the code?
many responded in nervousness and frustration.
here are some man-made mysteries (forget about god-made codes), which the scientists can simply puzzle over.. 1) the still un-deciphered harappan script.. 2) the illustrated voynich manuscript written in a completely unknown script.

I stopped reading after this.

"This time period has been Satans time period to prove his ability to rule."
Really? God just sits back and watches while a sadistic monster has a turn at playing boss?
Would you let a serial-killing-rapist raise your children? Could you even leave them alone with him for just a minute? maybe to prove a point?
I find it ironic that in trying to prove satan wrong and man incapable of ruling himself, God has proved himself useless by allowing the whole effed up situation in the first place.
The whole univesral sovereign thing is a load of nonsensical rubbish.

This man is a disgrace.
i'm not ignoring the pain that thousands of disfellowshipped jw's suffer or the needless deaths or undealt with abuses.
to all these people the watchtower society is far from irrelevant - it's the cause of their misery, isolation and loss.. so what do i mean?.
if we want to make a difference then our focus needs to be on people.
Pretty much.
