The problems Bible believers have with Atheists is the burden of proof is on the Believer and we just do not have enough proof.

i recently posted a post telling this board my athesit coworker stumped me with questions about the validity of the ark story and i just cannot stop talking to her.

i love hearing her side and point of view which in the past i would have dismissed as "satanic" thinking.

she has some very good questions and i am having a hard time answering them.

When I first started questioning WT, then the Bible, I discovered a video series on Youtube called, "The Atheist Experience". I was absolutely fascinated not only by their logic and sound reasoning, but mostly by how quickly and easily the atheists shredded the simple-minded arguments and beliefs of Christians.

I also realized that despite being a JW my entire life, I also had nagging doubts about the Bible I never had the freedom to entertain as a JW, but the atheists decimated those very same doubts with their reasoning.

In the end, while you may not come around to the other person's view, it is enlightening to learn why people believe what they do.

International Convention...Same Message, Same Emotional Manipulation

by HeyThere in

well, of course nothing else would be expected, but it passes me off.. for example, they show this short video that shows a child dying, shows her father crying as he visits her grave...and then she is reunited with her family in "the new system" and then it shows a handicapped girl who is sad she can't ice skate with friends...fast forward to tns, she can skate!!!

then an elderly couple is shown happily young again.... .

and of course the end is "so close!

No they were right outside the bathrooms with donation boxes!!!!

.

In that case, I know exactly what I'd donate

Oh, and donation boxes are like every 5 feet.

Yes, creating a never ending supply of false hopes and dreams is very expensive.

Rules on blood also apply to our pets

by Splash in

while researching something else, i came across these two comments from a wt on how we should view the blood issue, when it comes to our pets.. *** w64 2/15 p. 127 questions from readers ***.

"would it be a violation of the scriptures for a christian to permit a veterinarian to give blood transfusions to a pet?

by all means, to do so would be a violation of the scriptures.".

God's plans always hinge on the technological advances of humans before He can proceed....

.

If Jesus had just told the first century Jews how to invent the Internet, he'd be 2,000 years ahead of the game for his plans of world domination. Oh well.....

Science and the WT

by Giordano in

ive been reviewing the scientific claims that the society promoted through the golden age magazine (later replaced by the awake).

not since reading the laws of leviticus have i had so many wtfs as found in the list http://hourglass2.com/historical/the-list/list7_01.htm .

each statement comes from an official publication of the wtbts.

@ Billy the Ex B: Didn't GA have a quote saying that perfect people wouldn't poop.

The GB don't poop now...it's not necessary, as all their defecational processes are now performed directly through the pages of WT literature.

ARE JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES A "RELIGION"? The story behind the misconception

by Terry in

judge j.f.

rutherford created many oddball ideas in his tenure as society president.

none was nuttier than his polemical rant,.

AndDontCallMeShirley

It's typical WT tactics: it'll play the system for its own benefit and flip-flop on "god-mandated" orders at the drop of a hat when it's advantageous to do so.

But the US lost most of its influence in Latin America over the past 15 years, and the region has done quite well, with a sharp reduction in poverty for the first time in decades.

.

Read "Confessions of an Economic Hit Man" to understand why this is true.

Once corporate thugs, backed by their equally bullying government, are forced to play fairly, or are ejected from the game altogether, it's amazing how well a country can prosper.

IHOP #1: death by diabetes and clogged arteries

IHOP #2: death by religious zealots and an antiquated theology of hate.

I choose diabetes.

Disgusting religion. A goal of raising $ one trillion and putting one million missionaries around the world...all to spread their ignorant, hateful beliefs and infect as many people as possible with their caustic disease.

.

To be more accurate, the title of this propoganda film should read, "God loves some of Uganda". If you are gay or not a Christian, god will send his pathetic messengers to condemn you to Hell. Idiots.
