Writers (not God) are at fault

by anointed1 in

if scriptures are written by people who have no sense of justice, it is natural that god would be misrepresented—something that happened to the biblical god.

to mention a few:.

1) david, murderer of the innocent and faithful, wrote portions of the bible.. 2) paul who set in opposition to genuine apostles who were directly trained by jesus himself sarcastically describing them as “superfine apostles” openly declared in some places that it was not spirit, but he was writing.

anointed 1: "Personally I feel that God exists, but He is not interested in receiving any worship or praise from us. I formulated this concept from the Bible:"

but earlier you wrote:

"This gave later writers opportunity to rewrite everything in the way they liked "

How can you formulate an opinion let alone live by it if it's been rewritten by man?

You're just spouting bullshit! Making it up as you go along. Then telling others about it. Keep it to yourself. Unless its backed by evidence. Which it isn't...

Anthony Morris Made a special appearance on JW Broadcasting to talk child abuse.

by NikL in

This comment is aimed at the rank and file. "We are proud of our reputation". Arsehole!!

It gives them an answer to 'apostates' that bring up the abuse cases. Thats the sole reason why A Morris the turd says it. Damage limitation. In his own words, its despicable!

Entertainment: What's everybody reading or into right now?

by schnell in

i picked up bernard cornwell's the pagan lord at the library.

historical fiction set in england after the death of alfred the great.

i'm loving it, especially the between-the-lines wit and sense of timing in cornwell's writing, and the complete badassery of the protagonist.

If you're into historical fiction, Ken Follet's Pillars of the Earth is a great read. Set in the 12th century, it sets a fictional family and village into historical events such as the Thomas Becket murder. He also wrote a follow up called World without End, set 100 odd years later.

How successful are others at getting ex-dubs together?

by dubstepped in

jw
friends

for my first shunniversary i reached out to the local ex-dubs that i know.

i invited 11 total to join me in a little get together at a local restaurant, then back to my house to hang out.

one friend asked if he could invite others, and i encouraged him, and all, to do so.

GoneAwol

Once you have exhausted the ex dub stories and the usual "do you know bro or sister such and such", you'll realise that you don't actually have that much in common.

Better to seek out old friends from pre dub years maybe? Or make new ones. At least they will help you forget about the cult.

Isn't that the goal? To forget all about the cult years?

"I'm so over just doing what most scientist do"... what? You're actually fed up of scientists trying to find the answer to life's biggest questions? Really?

So you get lazy and fall into the "god of the gaps" trap.

Intellectually dishonest and lazy.
