  i just received the following link to a video where some claim that jws are pressuring syrian refugees in northern greece to convert.

  fyi, i tried to locate the date of the video, but couldn't, so don't know if it is recent or not.

  In the case of Islamic extremism, JW's could be a chemo for that cancer. Convert from a religion that has a potential to turn people into violent extremist to JW. Then the next step is learning TTATT. Then they are home free.
  

  Brilliant idea, those ISIS warlords would make wonderful elders.

  Andre, a former Isis warlord, tells us how he went from beheading infidels to standing behind a JW.org cart.

  Without knowing that info, I can't really say if the congregations are getting hosed on those price tags.
  

  Well, I'll make a gut call. We are talking about the WTS, so I'd say it's odds on the sheeple will be getting screwed. The OT God likes to mix it up from time to time, when he's done with the killing he becomes 'Jehovah of Price Gouging'.

  Pure speculation, I'm sure they won't benefit financially. After all, they are just a good Ol' fashion religion.

  Evolution Gap - Where's the Fur? Redux

  by shadow in

  i am posting a second topic on this subject since the first one became overrun by snakes.. cofty posted a link to a published paper discussing this topic and referred to the information in it as "facts".

  here is my summary of that paper along with comments on it.. one of the opening statements says that:.

  two frequently debated aspects of hominin evolution are the development of upright bipedal stance and reduction in body hair.. so for those who believe this is a stupid topic, it is a subject of interest to many stupid people including the authors of the paper referred to by cofty.

  Even if every scientist on earth was scratching their bald heads and muttering that they don't have a clue why humans lost their body hair it would not impact the fact of evolution one iota.
  

  I know, I am having a hard time following the logic. I am thinking because logic has been omitted from this one.

  What if hairless humans can't be explained.

  Does this mean....Jesus is real?? Buddha or Allah maybe?

  Seems like a god of the gaps argument. Creationist who promote their God using this fallacy still have done nothing and offered no evidence for their beliefs. All of their work is still ahead of them.

  Ssssorry. Sssnake man is back.

  Once creation is ruled out then all sorts of flights of imagination can occur.
  

  The irony in this comment is astounding. Creation myths have never allowed for flights of imagination.

  I love my kids incredibly and there is no way such a special bond can be explained by science. It's God.

  Even if it can be explained by science, I won't be listening, I am still going to say God because I have a strong emotional connection to my beliefs.

  Evolution Gap - Where's the Fur?

  by shadow in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  evolution paints human ancestors covered with fur.

  fur has several benefits as stated by britannica "the pelts of fur-bearing animals are called true furs when they consist of two elements: a dense undercoat, called ground hair, and longer hairs, extending beyond that layer, called guard hair.

  the principal function of ground hair is to maintain the animal’s body temperature; that of guard hair is to protect the underlying fur and skin and to shed rain or snow.".

  If evolution were true we should be furry. We should also have a bum rope, like spiders do.

  Does anyone else squirm uncomfortably in disbelief?

  by stuckinarut2 in

  2. bible

  as we know, every month on the "official broadcasting" presentation, a new "music video" is presented.. can these possibly be any more cringe-worthy??.

  the words, music, singing are so, so bad....i mean, so bad!.

  surely witnesses are not so stupid that they don't harbor secret feelings of awkwardness when they see these?.

  Stephen Lett alone should make anyone squirm uncomfortably in disbelief. What a sick joke the GB broadcasts are.

  It can't be helping their cause at all, putting these miserable sods on show was a mistake.

  Happiness and Freedom On A Paradise Earth?

  by Disassociated Lady 2 in

  2. beliefs

  at a recent meeting there was a watchtower article about life in paradise.

  they were saying that even when witnesses finally get there they will still be under the strict instructions from the elders and gb.

  they may be given jobs that they will find unpleasant, also the preaching work will be ongoing because of all the resurrected people who need to learn about why they are given another chance.

  If the GB and elders are going to have control for 1000 years, the world will be a dangerous place for children with the amount of pedophiles getting around.

  Satan's system punishes pedophiles, Jehovah's organization protects them.

  There is no amount of fruit platters or pet pandas that will sweeten that deal.

  Self-righteous Watchtower vs the pagan-inspired New Testament.

  by Island Man in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  watchtower refuses to translate stauros as cross despite having no evidence to refute the long-standing ancient belief that jesus died on a cross; and in spite of evidence that the romans were in fact using crosses in executions by jesus' day.

  they shun the word simply because of the use of crosses in ancient pagan religions.. watchtower refuses to refer to their places of worship with the word church because of the word's supposed pagan origin or past usage to refer to pagan places of worship.. now contrast watchtower's self-righteous attitude of avoiding the use of all words having pagan religious usages, with the new testament verse of 2 peter 2:4:.

  certainly god did not refrain from punishing the angels who sinned, but threw them into tarʹta·rus, putting them in chains of dense darkness to be reserved for judgment.. tartarus is a word that had rich pagan mythological meaning when it was written in the nt.

  They don't even like the fact that they are members in what's called "religion".

  They call it "da troof"
