  the possibility the watchtower leaders get some kick backs because they keep their members from voting and giving a dam how politics and world events happen.. ".

  on't vote.

  jehovah's witnesses are among those who do not vote based on their religious beliefsjehovah's witnesses.

  They won't participate in exercising their democratic rights but are the first ones in line for a government hand out.

  We are at the very threshold of Armageddon

  I would like to know what they mean by the threshold?

  ...my aunt, mother, uncle have all died without crossing over...told all their life they would never see death.

  Same with my family. We were not suppose to die but walk hand in hand to that new system of things. I have also seen my parents, aunts and uncles all grow old and die.

  Why do religious people make claims and then refuse to back them up?

  by Viviane in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  several times over the past few months i have had conversations, both here and in real life, with religious people making all sorts of interesting and conflicting claims.

  i like to know how things work, so generally i will ask questions to net out what i am being told and see if it can be explained and make sense.. for instance, if someone said 2+2=4 and i asked how, there are a variety of ways that could be shown to me, a number line, physical objects being put together, counting on fingers and toes, etc.

  indeed, in my personal life, i often have to explain how certain technologies work, sometimes planned, sometimes off the cuff, from a variety of group sizes to a varying degree of technical expertise.

  When it comes to a matter of faith with religious people, their brains shut down and rational objective thinking goes out the window.

  Question for people who believe in Evolution

  by ttte36 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  though school i did religious education and my teacher who was religious ruled out evolution because humans are the only creatures who do not want to die, can anyone who understands evolution explain this?.

  im 99% on to the theory of evolution, this is just the last stumbling block..

  If your are referring to humans as being self aware or sentient beings, we are not the only species that are self aware or sentient. Google it.

  Reminds me of the suck holes down where I worked. The ones that wanted to look important would carry a file folder around with them.
