  Does God define "right and wrong" or is there an intrinsic 'good' ?

  by Simon in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i don't personally believe in a 'god' but i wonder for those who do .... is there an intrinsic "right and wrong" or moral code that would exist whether or not there was a god?.

  to put it another way, is what we believe is "right or wrong" based on whatever god decides is right or wrong (ie.

  he set's the standard) or is it an intrinisc thing that he also must adhere to in order to be thought of as 'good'.. if god has to adhere and go along with some intrinsic value system then does this effect any claims to be omnipotent and always good?

  Witnesses are Spiritually Starving

  by metatron in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  consider the typical character of witness life: "spirituality" as a word is twisted and misapplied into a sterile life of dead.

  meeting attendance and peddling magazines - instead of emphasizing active compassion and ethical qualities.

  this tendency.

  War or No War --- The Dispute

  by hornetsnest in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i usually don't get involved in things like this, as i've long known the futility and uselessness of arguing with jello.

  however, for the benefit of those looking on and wondering where the truth really lies, i figured i'd say a few things.. back2dafront made quite a spiel over on another thread about how terrible it is to serve in the armed forces, and i must say that the tears of purple koolade were just pouring down my cheeks in rivers.

  he's such an abused little fellow ... personally, i'll bet my wife's been shot at more than he has.

  Uncle Bruce

  i recently got a card from my friend uncle bruce.

  he's found a new love in his life, and i would like to share him and her with all of you who know and love him as i do.

  uncle bruce is nearly as crazy as i am and his new love is kinda cute and all, but even i'm not so fearless that i would dare fornicate on a motorcycle going down the highway.. i'm not joking about the card, btw.

  thanks for clicking, you great big patriot you!

  i noticed a lot of hubbub around the need for such a gathering, to counter all the fuss kicked up by all the tree-hugging pussies in this area!right on!

  well, here's how it works.

  UK NW Elder Mocks Disabled Brothers

  by ISP in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i got some reliable info that an elder regularly mocks a disabled brother that is in his congregation.

  he mimics the way he talks and moves about and does this in the ministry for his own pleasure.

  it makes his pioneer wife laugh.

  Misogyny----anyone here guilty?

  by Tatiana in

  1. social
  2. relationships

  after reading the post on how to "treat your husband," i'd like to know if any men here actually feel this way about women.

  everyone jokes around about male/female relationships, but how many really think women are inferior?

  i know from some serious posts i've read here, that a few of the men must have really been hurt by someone.

  PIT BULL ATTACK!!!

  by chachasmum in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  as most of you know eisenstein and i are roommates...and some of you know about eisenstein having been laid off...well i had gotten her a gig boarding one of my dogs, a white lab, sweet as can be, maggie...poor maggie almost kicked the bucket!.

  walking near the park, a crazy mf had his pit bull off the leash.

  the dog spotted maggie and charged toward her and eisenstein...let me tell you...eisenstein started crying to the owner "pleeeeeease, get your dog," as she was doing a dance trying to keep the pit bull off of maggie, as a lot of you know we had almost 20 inches of snow, it was really icey and eisenstein fell flat on her face in the middle of the street...the pit bull grabbed maggie by the neck, lucky for her she was wearing a prong collar, a safety loop and a regular collar.
