AWAKE! NO. 5 2016 - Did Jesus Really Exist?

by ttdtt in

so again we go to the quality of evidence used by the wt.. you can read the article here - https://www.jw.org/en/publications/magazines/awake-no5-2016-october/did-jesus-really-exist/.

you see the wt refer to experts with quotes.

as is usually the case the credentials are not represented, just that they are experts (so take their word).

Tacitis only refers to Christ never mentions the name Jesus. Josephus mention two guys named Jesus , one is a guy on the wall calling down bad things on the people of Jerusalem and then he writes that he was killed by a rock. The other mentioning of a Jesus most experts agree this texts was a forgery.

Why the Bible cannot be the work of an all-wise God that epitomizes love.

by Island Man in

there's simply no way to honestly deny that the ot condones genocide, slavery and misogyny.

there are too many passage showing yahweh commanding his people to wipe out this nation and that nation - women and innocent children included!

it leaves us with a god who wrote a book that very, very, very much seems like it condones genocide, but it doesn't, etc.. what kind of god does that?

Day three God created plants, 7 thousand years later day 4 he creates the Sun. So I guess plants can remain Popsicles for 7 thousand years then be thawed out and be perfectly fine.

$40,000.00 USD, and counting.....

by DATA-DOG in

i'm not sure if anyone is keeping track, but as of today, the wtbts has spent $40,000.00 usd to avoid releasing sensitive documents to the superior authorities.

that's $40,000.00 usd of "dedicated funds.

are you a born-in jw?

In think they put themselves in to a hard situation now. The attorneys and the court have got them by the balls now. They'll have to pay probably much more the the original 13.5 million. Also most of the people abused by this elder settled out of court but not this guy. I think and hope he's not about the money but about seeking justice. If so then he has the cult over a barrel!

Contempt of court, case in San Diego county really disgusts me!

by Crazyguy in

this case has to be talked about by ever awake jw every apostate everyone.

this case because they refuse to hand over documents the court already knows they have because they handed them over before but heavily redacted, is the icing on the cake!

this case shows thier evil plain and simple.

Crazyguy

My understanding is they produced heavily redacted documents that the court rejected. Then the court hit the cult with a 13.5 million judgment. The cult appealed to a federal court and that court said the lower court was to heavy handed and should of done more before the judgment, so it got kicked back to the lower court. Now the lower court is taking a different strategy by fining the cult 4000 dollars per day to produce the documents with out redaction.

The good news we hope is now the cult in its arrogance screwed themselves. The fines will continue and hopefully go up until the produce the documents. I'm not sure there's any other way out of this situation by the cult other then producing the documents.

I showed my stepson a pbs youtube video for kids about logical fallacies and my wife found out

by SonoftheTrinity in

she told him to never watch that video again, which of course is going to make him even more curious about it, which is exactly what i wanted to happen.

i am giddier than a schoolgirl right now.

even the watchtower propaganda says to be careful and respectful with questioning teens and middle-schoolers in the congregation, and she comes up and does the opposite.

Crazyguy

Can you share a link to the video.

spiritual crisis

by indi7 in

two years ago i had a kundalini experience.

i felt energy or chi pulsate through each of my chakras, from the base of the spine to the crown of the head, then back, after that i felt like a newborn for three days.

i felt like i was reborn spiritually and god gave me a new name - indi.

Consider this. I have a relative that has a condition where their nerves are miss firing and the brain is broken in that way too. A totally normal person except they get these phantom sensations though out their body. Mostly pain, excruciating pain, like feeling as though someone has just chopped off your leg or your body has been dipped into battery acid or a body part stabbed with a knife. Its not just pain, body organs don't work properly and start to atrophy. This persons lungs will just stop working at times neither taking in air or expelling it. The pain of this condition and one other has made doctors re-do the pain scale that was from 1-10 now to 1-50. The feeling of wanting to kill yourself because of the pain is at about the low 30s on the scale. Loosing all your senses ,taste, smell, eye sight etc, and passing out do to the pain is near 50. This person has been to 50. They often go into uncontrollable spasms as their body freaks out in pain. Doctors have no cure and all treatments by western medicine is a joke! Most of these people are bed ridden or are in wheel chairs and end up killing themselves do to the excruciating pain.

This person and their family is devote JW's, yet where is Jehovah in all this. This person is a child a beautiful wonderful loving child. Yet where is god in all this??? This person suffers beyond belief and yet again where is GOD or JESUS in all of THIS? They are supposed to be all about LOVE yet where in the HELL ARE THEY IN ALL OF THIS?

I have more love in my left nut then all the gods in the universe because if I had the power I would fix this child even if it meant my own life to do so! So the next time your thinking about where god is know that he's not thinking about where you are!

"Well now at least they get a ressurection!"

by stuckinarut2 in

yes, that is what a witness said after the police shootings and terrible aftermath of violence occurred this week in the usa..... they said that it now gives them a chance to live forever...as if they would not have had that opportunity if they had not been tragically killed..... of course according to witness teachings, the contradictory thing is that if the big a had come a day before, then those same people would have been killed by jehovah because they were not his worshipers.....

Crazyguy

yeah that teaching I always had problems with, do we help people that could die if we didn't and they for sure then would be resurrected? Where we really helping people by going to their doors or would it be better off that they didn't know? Crazy just plain crazy!!!
