What’s even more interesting is the ancient Egyptians had these ideas even before Christianity or jesus ever existed.

Disproving one verse of the Bible means proving another verse!
by Ireneus inlast week’s newsweek magazine (february 10, 2018) made a surgical strike on jws teaching that soul is something that can be “destroyed” (mathew 10:28) and man is ‘dust unto which he would return’ (genesis 3:19) when its article (the increasing signs that human consciousness remains after death) made this conclusion: soul “does not become annihilated just because we’ve crossed the threshold of death.” (http://www.newsweek.com/where-do-you-go-when-you-die-increasing-signs-human-consciousness-after-death-800443) interestingly, bible also contains verses that show man has an eternal aspect (eccl 3:5; 12:7).. science is now in the right direction in line with the prediction francis crick, co-discoverer of the double-helix dna, made: “it is not true that mere firing of neurons in the brain could indicate consciousness….
physics has yet to explain how consciousness could come about through firing of neuron in the brain.”.
this also explains why some of the gospels were not included in the canon.

Religion really does have the power to remove ones thinking. I too would of let one of my family members die in need of blood because like most JWs the cults reasons seemed sound based on the limited information a JW is provided with. It wasn’t until it all became a reality in my life and one of my family members may have needed blood that I after hearing some information decided to do some research.
It really is sad that all around the world people live and die based on indoctrination and or limited information.

Cart observations from Cardiff South Wales
by freddo ini was in a suburb of cardiff, capital of wales where it was difficult to get near to my customer's offices to deliver and install what i do.
i had my car parked about a hundred yards away and had to make several trips with goods and tools past a local jw trolley cart.
as i was working i didn't stop but observed much of the time from an upper floor office window.. in the hour or so i was there, on a warm sunny (for late february) lunchtime/early afternoon - right by a bus stop and several local shops, cafes and banks with plenty of people about - not one person stopped at the cart.. the two women at the cart i guess were about 50 and 75 respectively - pleasant looking motherly/grandmotherly types.

So you're worried about the Big A, or the North Korean bombs? Sorry everyone, Japan is the one that has likely screwed us all.
by fulltimestudent inheard much lately, about the fukushima nuclear disaster in japan?.
that is until earlier today when i found this article from last year, with dr. helen caldicott discussing the chernobyl disaster and fukushima.
she believes fukushima is uncontrollable and there is absolutely nothing anyone can do about it.. read the article: .

I tend to agree with her more then any one that disagrees with her. The whole situation and how it’s been handled by the Japanese company in charge is a joke. They don’t seem to have anyway of stopping the water from running down the hills in to the plants and on to the ocean. The water their collecting is going to be dumped in to the ocean and they can’t even find where some of the uranium that melted down went.
The whole thing is a mess and their not doing much about it except hoping everyone will forget about it. In the mean time the company executives have their eyes closed and their ears plugged.

jesus has appointed the ‘faithful slave’ to be the only channel for dispensing spiritual food.

Hopefully you pulled out a zodiac chart and showed her that the four creatures that are pulling the chariot are nothing more then the four cardinal points of the zodiac. This makes god the sun. Tell her to go out side and look up, for she too has seen god.

Boyfriend force me to study the bible or no marriage
by MuslimWoman inmy boyfriend, who is a disfellowshipped jehova's witness, asks me to study the bible for 3 months or he won't marry me (i'm a muslim woman).
he loves me and really wants to marry me but he is doing a passive blackmailing: if i don't study for 3 months, 1 time per week, in my home country, and without him, there will be no marriage... as a muslim, i believe the bible is god's word so i look at the bible from time to time and would be happy to study with him.
but the fact that he is kind of saying "study the bible or bye bye no marriage" is really hurtful.

Totally run from this guy. The JW religion is a cult much like hard core Islam. You dont need this in your life. Plus he’s a control freak! If you do decide to study despite the advice your getting here then at least let us help you to show him through questions you can ask him that his religion and it’s doctrine is not Christian but a false teaching.

No Bible = No God?
by menrov insome doubt about the bible completely, some partially.
what if the bible turns out to be a product of humans, nothing divine.
would you still believe in a creator?.

Crazyguy
The Bible is a product of humans unless you think stories from Mesopotamia , Egypt and Greece are true stories and that some how were written down improperly and about the wrongs gods and then the Bible writers were then told how to write them down correctly yet they still have problems with contradictions and prophecies that didn’t come true even in their more accurate tellings.

Eden's snake
by Doug Mason inin my study into the israelite and judahite salvations, i provided sources which tell us that the writers of the creation story at genesis 2 and 3 employed symbols associated with the goddess asherah, namely: eve, snake, and tree.. at present, i am researching satan and i came across the following from “the birth of satan” by t.j. wray and gregory mobley (pages 68-69 70).
doug.
even casual readers of the bible have heard about the story of the garden of eden (genesis 2-3).

The story is a mish mash of Mesopotamian stories. In one story Adamu (Adam) is offered immortality by the sky gods but the god of the world Enki told him that if he ate the food offered it would kill him. Enki was a trickster god but also a god of wisdom and many scholars believe the story was telling how the god Enki did not want man to have immortality so he would not be like the gods. In the Gilgamesh story he retrieved a plant from a lake that would make him immortal but he took a nap first and a snake came along and ate it instead. Because a snake sheds its skin it’s has been associated with immortality.
In Genesis god creates Eve using a rib from Adam , in another story from Mesopotamia Enki gets healed by a female goddess which has something to do with his rib can’t remember the details but she becomes associated with a rib.
The tree of knowledge is all over the place in Mesopotamian stories. So is stories about Eden. The serpent in the story is probably not a Satan or a devil but a serpent god Ningizzida.
The writer of these stories in genesis clearly got a lot of details wrong in his attempt to put several stories in to one.

The Perfect Storm in 2018?
by Wild_Thing ini have been sadly watching as the number of jws in other countries are decreasing (for the most part), while the numbers in the us are strangely increasing.
while i question the organization's self reporting numbers, i think 2018 may be the year for another mass us exodus.
leah remini's show will be focusing on jws in her show on a&e.

Their definitely liquidating but I’m unsure if it’s do to a decline or coming decline of the cult that their preparing for or because they want to hide the money from pedophile attorneys.
The fact that their having one convention after another about being loyal, remaining in the faith, not leaving, please don’t go, is a bit of a tell.
Its also a bit of a tell that their numbers are crap, because if their growing like they claim why then have so many convention titles that seem to indicate the exact opposite.
