Avoiding Service Tips?

by Kohanic in

back again!.

so as i'm still pimo and living under my parent's roof, how can i get out of service?

cause i really don't want to go and i feel dirty just knowing i could be influencing someone into this garbage..

smiddy3

just say you are going on return visits and that your interested folk do not want anybody else to call on them so you have to go alone .

And then do whatever grabs your fancy

I knew an Elder who got away with that for years ,no he wasn`t an apostate he just hated doing D2D work.

Evolution doesn't happen today...WRONG...

by HowTheBibleWasCreated in

last year i had a brother tell me that one proof evolution is false is that he doesn't see it happening today... i was going to bring of viruses evolving so fast that new vaccines must be developed each year but felt he was too closed minded to receive it.

today i was listening to the audio book of 'an ancestors tale- richard dawkins' and noted oe point that shined through.. here is evolution happening>>>.

What do creationists as well as those who believe in Creation not to confuse the two believe how or why we have a creature in Australia called the Platypus ?

Did God get his DNA mixed up ?

or is it a product of evolution ?

Or is their an alternative solution ?

Cult Leader Thinks He’s Jesus

by Jules Saturn in

i was sent this video and don’t know if anyone was aware of it or if this has been posted before but in russia there is a religion known as vissarion’s church of the last testament where their leader who was formerly known as sergey anatolyevitch torop who goes by vissarion believes he is the messiah.

according to the video, there are 5,000 followers worldwide with 2,000 followers actually living on site with vissarion.

i found it pretty odd but very interesting and wanted to share it on here.

Calling Cofty and others regarding evolution

by dubstepped in

so i have started down the path of trying to understand evolution, and to get the linear lies that the jws planted in my head out of it.

i bought an audiobook called "evolution: what the fossils say and why it matters" by donald prothero.

i heard it recommended on an atheist podcast that i listened to.

As I have posted on another thread every living thing on this planet whether in the sea on the land or in the air keeps alive by devouring another living thing.And has done so since the beginning of time .

I can`t see a loving Almighty Creator being responsible for that ,so I guess evolution makes much more sense .

Jehovah`s Witnesses who blame Satan for this situation undermine their God whom they believe in .

If they believe Satan is the cause of this situation then obviously he is more powerful than their God who they worship.

For all JW`s who believe God is going to rectify things in his own due time ,I ask you to send me 10$ and I will make you a millionaire in the not too distant future ,your million$ is not far away it`s just around the corner just send me your 10$ and I will make you a millionaire ,it`s imminent.

Since leaving the JW Organization, who is believing?

by Issa in

jw
friends

i left the jw organization last year during summer.

maybe some of you can relate.

who of you are agnostic or an atheist?

smiddy3

I am another one who took some time before I went from a true believer to an agnostic and now an atheist .

And it has been sites like this one that pointed me in the direction to research other material for and against the inspiration of the Bible from an Almighty God.

Over a number of years.

I weighed it all in the balance and found the Bible wanting

.I have now been out 25 years.

God and the Bible ? No way

Some higher intelligence that planted the seeds of life on this planet ? and left it to its own without interference ?who knows .

the jury is still out on that one.

One fact that I have learned is that every living thing on this planet whether it is under the sea on the land or in the air ,it only survives by devouring another living thing .And it has always done so.

Does that sound like a loving caring Creator to you ?
