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

"mind our own business"
Which when translated means: stop looking around outside our bubble, that could lead to thinking
I can sense the uber dub, no exaggeration there
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?

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?
healthy skepticism and a bit of effort is essential to avoid believing bad science.. ....

Yo Perry,
I don't know where the singularity came from, I don't know what caused it to expand. It would be awesome to find out. You got anything better than magic? Obviously not.

Perry,
Please demonstrate what caused the singularity (that the universe expanded from) to exist.
