Demons are not even mentioned much in the old testament and the devil was just an adversary not really evil. It was in the new testament that these characters got going most likely do to the influence of the Persian religion.

"It's the demons..."
by pale.emperor inone thing that really frustrates me inside is how quite a few jw's (especially my family) actually believe that demons like to inhabit second hand vases, or clothes etc.
my sister and mother are so bad with this that they wont even talk about it - because even talking about it "brings demons into your home".
so any attempt to show them that it's unscriptural is shut off with, sometimes them literally going "lalalalalalala im not listening".. i used to believe it myself (why wouldn't i?, i was told by my mother and father it was fact).. what i'd like to point out to anyone that would let me debunk it is this:.

True God would not seek praise nor worship from us
by elbib inwhen asked: “why there is so much of suffering here if god exists?” buddha responded with silence because he knew the following:.
1) even though living in heaven, anyone can live as though he lives in hell and vice versa which means how a person thinks is the key.
experience show that whatever a person does with 100% involvement (totality = beauty), it is like he lives in heaven.

If God really needs worship all He would have to do is fix some of the problems of the world and billions of people would instantly show thier gratitude. -

Suppose I ought to introduce myself.....
by Andy Dufresne ini've left a couple of semi-"humorous" remarks, but not yet said a proper hello....but firstly thank you, to all, for this site and all its comments.i have been lurking on this site for 4-5 years, awake for 5-6 years and seriously fading for the last 4 years.
i am now "out" and widely considered "out" by the congregation but due being very cautious and playing a very long game, (and having a wife who understand the repercussions of blowing the whistle on the few viewpoints i have discussed with her) i have not been df'd of da'd.
this forum has been a crutch and guide as well as helping me wake - and the humour many on here use has been a welcome relief.

Ideas for letter to Dr about blood card blackmail and what it means?
by purrpurr infollowing on from another op who brought to our attention the new draconian blood card policy .i'm planning on visiting my dr to discuss this issue in advance.
i'm planning on telling her how jw's and possibly me will be blackmailed into signing this but really won't want the hlc involved and may want blood if needed.. i'm thinking about writing a letter that could be kept on file for future reference outling these issues, what do you think i should say in it?
ideas gratefully received thanks x.

Atlantis posted on the other thread a copy of the card, it does not say whole blood but is very similar to the older one with the new changes. -

Christians Know Who God Is
by Loi_241 inmany of us christians have a good question for you to ask, “who is god?” there are more than six scriptures to share with you.
you know the bible itself a true message for all the people on earth.
the bible explains ‘in the beginning god created everything: heaven, earth, animals, people and everything.’ thus, you notice god created humans, adam and eve.

There are plenty of cases where the son of God becomes the new main God. The christian god is jesus son of God who is exalted to become God. Later the trinity also an ancient idea is adopted by the Christians. Everything christian was stolen from older religions mostly Egyptian.

Two; I met the man that wrote the insight books for the Borg and even though he was at the time the brians of the borgs doctines when he faded his family , brother and his kids are shunning him. Last but not least I ran into a co-worker a week ago and he was recruited in to another fundamentalist Christian church a few years ago from an eastern European country. He then was talked into moving to the U.S. . He then was lied to by the leader of the church and defrauded. Even though his kids know exactly what he went through and how hypocritical the church leader is they still decided to stay in the church and shun thier father and mother.
Its painfully clear that when people give over thier beliefs to a higher power thier ability to think rationally goes out the door. It doesn't seem to even matter how wacky the beliefs are or not. Just thinking about the girls experience of having her mother throw her away her only daughter and choosing the cult over her it's painfully obvious. I don't believe there's away to get my family out of the cult from the outside. In the outside you don't matter. I had one of my kids even say this to me. My wife and I don't have a relationship anymore so that's hopeless too. It seem to me that until a person feels victimised by the cult there no hope of waking them up.
I am thinking that the only Choice I have is to go back get in in thier good graces then start planting seeds , educate them about the bible through family worship night and try to push a more balanced aproach to life and the cult. I just don't know if I have any other option anymore.

The YHWH/JESUS INTELLIGENT DESIGN STUDIO's Penis Designs
by fulltimestudent inthere are many things to question about the intelligence of the designs emanating from the yhwh/jesus intelligent design studio.. lauren reid, a phd candidate at durham university, writing in 'the conversation,' takes a look at why humans and spider monkeys are the only primates without a bone in their penises.
most mammals have such a bone, which is called a baculum .
humans don't, in spite of the term 'boner,' being in common usage, though whales, horses, rhinos, rabbits, elephants, marsupials and hyenas, were also designed without such a bone.. how does a baculum work?

The female hyena has a mock penis. What's that all about, well it's probably a evolutionary left over. But hey evolution is just a big fat lie Jehovah made her that way and the reason being is um oh well I'll have to get back to you on that. Wait just stop asking questions and have faith that there is a reason.
