by Wild_Thing in

jw
friends

i would love to compile a list of the education obtained by the governing body members both past and present.

can anyone provide any information to get me started?.

it still amazes me they think they can translate ancient languages with an 8th grade education.

About the translation ability…You must understand that they have the wholly spirit that helps them…

Just the same as Josef Smith LDS, had the angel Morony and Urim and Tummim, helping him to translate the gold plates at Commora Hill. Unfortunately The Gold Plates disappeared when asked for. If fact according to some very skilled scholars (Bart Ehrman, Chappel Hill Univers-) Even the original manuscripts of the very Bible does not exist….we only have copies of copies of copies of…

And they are all contradicting themselves

Reading The Bible Again After Leaving

by pale.emperor in

at the moment i dont beleive in anything.

im pretty much an open book, but my critical mind is very alert to bullshit.

but anyway i decided to re-read the bible with a non jw filter.. i researched online first which is supposed to be the best translation out there.

Hello everyone!

I am sure that you have looked up on youtube professor Bart Ehrman…If not try to see some of his lectures. It has been for me, the release of knowledge to understand the old scriptures…

The worst idea in the world

by Bugbear in

now i´ve been thinking …(a very rare occupation for my brain) and the question is :.

what could be the very worst/dangerous/harmful thought in our head?.

could it be that we are more beautiful / stronger / smarter / faster than the rest of our human brothers or sisters?.

Agree with you. But religious people do believe that they "have the knowledge to separate good from evil" God tells them....

Chook

The idea that I am God, has occured a few times. But The ones that got that idea are very easily disclosured, they simply cannot perform the miracles that goes along with beeing God!

Yes, I think that narcissim, sociopathy, and other mental dissorders, are empowered by the by the Idea that God is with me.

Or, could it be that we believe that we have a direct contact with God. That God tell us what is right or wrong. That we have understood the will of God and are able to interpret the will of God from an ancient scripture:

If so, we also feel the need of informing the rest of humanity what God want them to do. And since we have the right from God, we can also punish those who doesn´t agree.

I think the very Idea (in our head) that we are with God (In God we trust), is the very base for most of all the killing, bullying, raping, terrorism, war, nonsense believes (ghosts-spirits-demons, immortal souls), a.s.f.

This Idea (God tells me), is the reason for us humans living in this chaos.

What do you think?

Signatures on posts

by Simon in

can i please ask people not to repeated signatures on their posts.. i have pm'd a few people directly with the request as i've noticed them but i guess the inevitable "explain why / show it's fair" means i need to make it publicly to all .... everyone's name and avatar is already displayed next to each post made so anything added at the bottom is really superfluous and just reduces readability on smaller devices where screen-real-estate is already at a premium.

if the layout is redesigned for mobile devices with the poster name at the bottom then it looks kind-of stupid (e.g.

"said simon - simon ...").

I heard that Watchtower get Government funding

by Mozzie in

being a recognized religion here in australia i heard they get government funding.....if this is true, i don;t see why as they seem to do okay funding themselves .

Bugbear

In northern Europé the WTBS proudly announced 20-30 years ago, that they never accepted any “worldly” contribution for their activities. That included governmental subsidy. Today they have applied for subsidies from the state for youth and educational matters….They have all the time been refused.
