Do you think the age has passed when there can be no new religions?

by truthseeker in

i think we are already living in the age where there can be no new religions.

we have access to information like never before and anyone claiming revelations of something new and starting a whole new religion can easily be discredited.. christianity and islam may continue to subdivide but i think we've pretty much seen the end of anything new in terms of a new belief system.. .

what are your thoughts on this?.

truthseeker

I was thinking of a new religion on the scale of Islam or Christianity.

What if the Watchtower IS part of The New World Order but not the one JWs think they are?

by truthseeker in

for those who believe there is something to the agenda of the new world order, what do you think about jehovahs witnesses being part of this?.

.

do you think the watchtower organization is being monitored by the powers that be to see how compliant they can make their followers?.

truthseeker

Let's say there is something to the agenda of a One World Government.

The Jehovah's Witnesses present the most likely candidate for an organization that can make its members do virtually anything they want.

How do we not know that JWs are being looked at as an example of citizen compliance when the time comes for marshall law or anything else.

Genesis account shaken!

by exWTslave in

people who believe that every verse of the bible is inspired are in for a shock.

according to genesis account, god created heavens and the earthin a one-time act.

but an experiment conducted at the south pole, two weeks back, has caught ripples in the oldest light in the universe.

truthseeker

Leave Snowbird alone, she's not shaken in her faith.

Personally, I believe the Genesis account is faulty but I believe it has a grain of truth in it.

I have considered other works and have come to the conclusion that "man", is older than the Biblical Adam and this poses all kinds of interesting scenarios and difficult questions.

I believe the scribes during the time of Babylonish captivity falsified the texts of the Old Testament and added to them, and these were later built on by the New Testament.

The real truth of the Bible may never be known.

Is the Centenary Campaign in August 2014 really for the public?

by truthseeker in

i was thinking about what i read in a recent kingdom ministry about the historical campaign the jws will engage in this august.. this is not really for the public.. it is to keep the jw's busy, not thinking about why 100 years has gone by with no end in sight, but to buoy up flagging enthusiasm.. they trying to make jws maintain a constant state of tension and expectation..
