If you are a group that discourages voting, military service, and other forms of civic service, you should at least have your tax exemption revoked, or banned.

JWs exist because...

by oldskool in

one sentence answers only.. here's mine:.

jws exist because people want an escape from the modern world and are willing to give up intellectual freedom to get it..

childhood indoctrination into supernatural belief opens the door for all kinds of bullshit.

international version 1 cor 5:11. but now i am writing to you that you must not associate with anyone who claims to be a brother or sister but is sexually immoral or greedy, an idolater or slanderer, a drunkard or swindler.

do not even eat with such people.. if shunning is wrong.

.how does one explain this scripture?.

OneGenTwoGroups

If the fairy tale book hints at shunning for any reason, and the fairy tale believers take it too far, the fault is the book for not being clear enough, in exact detail, what it is implying.

How about an entire book of the Bible on shunning, how to do it and not do it. Instead we get Song of Solomon, or Job, or some other ignorable tripe.

Questions for JW's from Christians

by Perry in

jw
friends

i'm thinking of printing a tract with some simple but thought-provoking questions for people to use when jw's come to their doors.

questions from christians.

bible-believing christians appreciate the moral values of jehovah’s witnesses in their communities but have several questions that somehow seem to escape us when we are caught unexpectedly at our doors.

If you are Christian and feel the need to set a JW straight, start of with some common footing by establishing what all you agree on:

The Bible is God's Word
Homosexuality is an abomination
Women should know their place in the family and at church
Teens should feel guilty about masturbating
The human race is only 6,000 years old

After that you can start splitting hairs about how drinking fake human blood ought to be done.

Was Jesus really a Jehovah`s Witness ? He never identified himself as such , in word or deed.

by smiddy in

also he never chastised the jews for not identifying themselves as jehovah`s witnesses following isaiah`s statement at ch.43 :10-12 , so many years before hand.. and he had ample opportunity to do so on numerous occasions .. jesus himself never used the divine name /jehovah or any other equivalent , in any of his sayings attributed to him by his contemporaries .. sure he acknowledged god as his father and that he did his fathers will , but he never acknowledged him by a personal name such as jehovah or anything like it.. and lets not forget acts 11:26 it was first in antioch that followers of jesus by divine providence were to be called christians , not jehovah`s witnesses,.

smiddy.

YHWH is used nearly seven thousand times in the OT.

The NT comes along and Yahweh's name is dropped like a dirty shirt. Not only does this make no sense theologically, it gets worse, the transition to not using Yahweh's name is never discussed in scripture.

Could the bible be a just a collection of discordant religious texts?

Beliefs About What Caused the Universe

by Perry in

the universe can be observed to be expanding.. an expanding universe must have had a beginning.

whatever begins to exist had a cause.

therefore the universe had a cause.

Just saw Perry's post on "fine tuning". Worst argument ever?

Using the words "fine tuning" is misleading loaded language.

If the cosmological constants have tight tolerances (what is actually being described), so what?

Tight tolerances are proof that tight tolerances exist. NOTHING ELSE. Is Perry a real Christian or a troll?
