  Evolution or Creation??

  by dottie in

  well i know i may be opening a can of worms here.... but after what we were taught in the wts about creation...and now that you may know more about evolution... which do you think you'd choose to believe more??.

  myself...i am leaning towards evolution...but then i read things that make me think otherwise.

  so i do find it confusing sometimes .

  welcome gydja!

  yes i felt like it too and didnt even attend meetings. what made it worse was my dad wasnt a witness but was all too happy not to buy any presents for me for birthdays Xmas etc because he was too 'tight'.

  trying to make out i had a good time and had presents wasnt easy, as i never liked lying.

  children dont deserve that shit.

  Would you offer Jesus a cigarette?

  by Pleasuredome in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i know this is going to get some funny responses, but seriously this is a question thats been bothering me recently.

  i could never win an arguement about why a christian shouldnt smoke, because someone would always say that alcohol is just as bad, which is true, and jesus drank alcohol.

  so alcohol is addictive just like smoking.

  exactly! where do you draw the line? if someone is going to be legalistic about it then why not prohibit sun bathing, or drinking drinks that have aspartame in them, walking around air polluted city streets etc?

  so alcohol is addictive just like smoking. alcohol can kill you just like smoking(smoking would take many years, whereas you can die of too much alcohol in a few hours). smoking is toxic, whereas alcohol is a poison.

  now i know the scriptures about keeping you 'holy temple free from defilement' but how do you win the argument? by saying a chrisitian shouldnt drink and smoke?

  yeru

  how are the ricin arrests in london and manchester linked to iraq? you must know something and tony blair and I dont know. mind you, when tony says something isnt, does he really mean it is, and vice versa?

  "Ya know, Tone, ahh think they really believed it
  when we kept saying that war was still avoidable."
  
  "Yeah, Georgie, they're so funny."

  Special Talk in April

  by RubaDub in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  every year there is a "special talk" given around the end of march or april.

  having heard dozens of them over the years, i never quite figured out what was "special" about them.

  certainly no "new light" or anything ... just ... well .... the same stuff.. am i correct or not in my observation ???.

  Do You Feel Better Since You Stopped Meetings?

  by minimus in

  so many witnesses have been ill. i'm not talking about the flu or a cold, either.

  many witnesses suffered from ailments that were not necessarily common to most people.

  i know of jw's that had to literally run out of the meetings every week because they said they were allergic to perfumes and different scents.

  The US case before the UN

  by Yerusalyim in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  after watching powell today, i'm more convinced than ever.

  i think that those oppossed to the war will not be swayed at all, but i also think that most of those who were trully sitting on the fence will be convinced.

  convinced of saddam's violation of un resolution 1441, and convinced of saddam's connection with terrorism.

  This presentation of hard evidence is a tissue of lies, gossip, misinterpretation, cynical manoeuvring and possibly even misrepresentation, aimed at providing a case for a war against Iraq. The UN Security Council is not a kindergarten or a scout camp. The international community is not a class of primary school pupils to be lectured in this way by an incompetent teacher. Were this the case, Colin Powell would be the one to have a donkeys tail pinned to his trousers when he turned around to illustrate his great case against Iraq.
  
  If people believe this report, they will believe that there are fairies at the end of the garden. Colin Powell has managed to allow himself and his image descend from a respected world-class diplomat to some sort of confused, rambling and unconvincing Peter Pan.
