in another thread i posted the following thought, but i wanted to post this for everyone to see and give their input.. the argument that 'truth' never changes holds no water.
according to random house webster's dictionary, 'truth' is defined as follows,"conformity with fact or reality".. the word 'conform' is defined as,"to bring into agreement".. if 'truth' never changes, then how can something taught in science that is considered to be 'exact', later be corrected by 'conforming with fact or reality so as to bring into agreement'?
I think you scared him off Refiners. He obviously has a lot of Watchtowers to read before he can go to bat against you.
Hillarious when these dubs come in here thinking they can defend their religion and find folks on this board whoare better versed in WT dogma. You may have got babi-tised Buckwheat, but you better get off that JW "milk" and into the "meat" as they used say. Then maybe you can converse with the heavys. OOOHH TAAYYY!!!

jehovah has to hurry with the chinese population if he wants to give them a change in armagedon.
Hey wholewheat, there are people on this board that know more about your religion than you do. There are thousands of years combined in the "truth" by all the ex-JW's here. I think some these folks just might know what they are talking about. You better do your research before you come in here slinging accusations, and you can start in the Watchtower magazine.
plans are to soon have shipments of nuclear waste to cross through many of our nation's cities to reach their dumpsite destinations.
i really don't care for the idea.
how do you feel about it?
Im .06 from a route.
There is a war going on here between the Goshute Nation and the State of Utah. The Goshutes have been solicited to store waste on their land. Since they are a sovereign nation we can't tell them what to do but only protest the route through the state that gets the material there.
MY OPINION: We here did not make the waste, did not benefit from its use, so why should we have to deal with it?
To those who made it: YOU made , YOU keep it.
this came in my e-mail today.

I am implying that God is with the United States of America, he sponsors our actions because this nation stands as one under God (with liberty and justice for all). Therfore ANY war we participate in is right and just because God is on our side. In fact anything we do is right and just because everyone knows that God favors America.

I dont know Kennison, why do we? It is okay to kill people in other countries because God is on OUR side, I know he is because our pledge says so. At least for the time being.

I didn't say anything about athiests sir. There are plenty of people who don't say pledges with "God" in it. And he does not like those people. That is why it is okay to kill them. I only suggest that if we dont acknowledge him in our chants he may not favor our troops. Or maybe our economy will falter, or we may have some bad earthquakes or something.
i feel the need for a rant!
i had a conversation with my jw elder father tonight that has left me seething.
just to set the scene, i left the jws back in 1994. i was baptized, having been dfd and reinstated a couple of years prior to my final exit in 94. i was never dfd again and pretty much left to my own devices.
(((((home)))))
I truly understand how you feel. I recently had "the big talk" with my JW dad (former elder).
When you feel the time is right, let them have the truth, not in anger, but out of respect for yourself.
If they cannot respect what you have to say, and who you are as an adult then so be it. Yes they are your only parents but there comes a place in everyones life when you are no longer their "child". One cannot live in "lets just not talk about it" land forever.
Some are advising you to let it go. Maybe you should for the time being, but if it is going to eat at you, you have to deal with it. I felt better once I did. Im not saying that it helped my relationship with my dad, but now he knows where I stand and I respect myself for having the courage to tell him and I know that he was forced to respect me as well.
It sounds like you have begun the process already so I can say be calm, be rational, be educated with only the facts. You can be quite effective in discussion by only using the WT material. Good luck in round two.

Besides, if we take those words out of the pledge, God might not support our nation when we go kill other people who don't acknowledge Him in their pledge.
