Would some of us be better off as Witnesses?

by Jerry Bergman in

i have often wondered if many people would be better off if they stayed witnesses.

some people i have known have really gone off the deep end after they left the watchtower.

most all of my family have left now (not due to me as i was cut off from them for years) and many others i know who have left are now bitter atheists or have become pagans and worship stones or new ageers playing with crystals.

Jerry,

Please excuse me - I am not very smart - I am a simple donkey who never even graduated from high school. Perhaps therefore it is not worth any of your time to even speak with miscreants such as myself. Thanks for the links - it is an interesting site http://www.rae.org and I will spend some time reading it (I will be sure to ask smart folk wahat the big words mean).

Just call me Jack!!

Where is God?

by donkey in

why does god allow this stuff?

according to your teachings, believers, just so he can stroke himself and show how man has failed.

in fact believers will read this stuff and shrug it off because in the future god will fix it it and it just proves why we need god..

I am amazed at the hate, slander and lies manifested by so many when one is trying to discuss religion

Jerry,

I never expressed any hatred towards you - I merely quoted what was said. My own feelings about you were NOT expressed. I don't know your character as a person one on one.

From what I am seeing on this thread I DON'T think a whole lot of you as a scientist though. And you are also one who is starting to stir things up by calling atheists such as myself bitter etc. If you want to argue using science and the scientific method as far as commonly acceptable standards of evidence then you might find you pro-god arguments more easily received.

Even an ASS knows you need PROOF to say it is SO.

Was Adam created immortal?

by Mr Bean in

22 and the lord god said, behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever:.

23 therefore the lord god sent him forth from the garden of eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken.. 24 so he drove out the man: and he placed at the east of the garden of eden cherubim, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.. .

if he would eat from that tree, he would have live forever.

donkey

So he drove out the man: and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden cherubim, and a flaming sword which turned every way,

Who knows if anyone was immortal but at least you know that God was the inventor of the sword. He is very loving.

Apparently it was a gay sword too...

Satan Claus

donkey

Yes, i partially agree with others that much importance is given to Santa this time of year, when the Christian Focus should be on our Great God and Saviour

Ahh, so Focus is a Christian?

Also keep in mind that a lot of people are like the proverbial donkey that you have to hit with a two by four to get its attention

Alan,

Was that you who hit me? Next time I am going to bite your carrot in two.

Do you think the GB and the others at Bethel are being accurately portrayed on this site? In other words, can people who visit here feel that what is said about the GB and all the brothers who run the Watchtower is truthful and without bias?
I think there are times when the very thing we hate we become. That at times "getting the Watchtower" is more important than giving a balanced view, in effect imitating the Watchtower's view of world religion and other zenophobic teachings of theirs. I feel uncomfortable with that.

IW,

I happen to agree with you on this point. There are some who make accusations - even if they are true - without offering proof. Proof gives arguments credibility. For instance take the unsubstantiated claim that Ted molested someone. Even if that claim is true it should be viewed with great skepticism UNTIL proof is provided. Once proof is provided I will damn Ted like everyone else, until then he is innocent of the alleged claim until proven guilty.

Unlike the WT Kangaroo courts if we are honest with ourselves we have the right to ask to evidence and proof of any claims both for and against the WT.

That being said I happen to agree with Focus on this particular thread. Why have links up to old out-dated stuff if people's lives depend oin the timeliness of the information ("food at the proper time" -huh). Why did they edit the information and/or remove pictures when they re-organized the site? If they were re-organizing it why not take down the page?

I don't believe their is a sinister motive - I just think they are stupid.

What does it feel like to have a Donkey think you are stupid, WT?
