JW'S HAVEN'T CORNERED THE MARKET ON ARROGANCE

by outnfree in

here's an interesting article which shows the arrogance of certain evangelical christian groups who will certainly (imo) exacerbate poor relations between america and the iraqis post war.

http://www.beliefnet.com/frameset.asp?pageloc=/story/123/story_12365_1.html&storyid=12365&boardid=55473.

an excerpt:graham didnt seem concerned that the public presence in iraq of samaritans pursewhich has put out a press release about its activitiescould prompt already-skeptical muslims worldwide to view the war as a crusade against islam.

REALNESS

Stinky: Ok if i have too.....sorry i dident see your post...i now have new light and can see it perfectly.......i am 100% commited and willing to debate on this board, however i would rather not get into a structured debate as such, it seems that things get messy when that happens. Also we may start a debate and in the proccess of replying i know that other members will come in with more questions and arguments on the particular subject and i would get bogged down with the sheer volume of material to reply to. I am more than willing to debate, however i cannot promise that the discussion will not get lost in the natural course of the thread as more people jump on me for my comments.

No.................. i was wrong francios has just cornered his own little section!!

How did you challenge them then francios? all at once or individualy?. Did you e mail them or do you know them personally?. If you dont then you cannot have really thought that they would agree to such a debate, why on earth would or should have they accepted a debate from yourselves, what makes you so special that they should debate with you?. Does that make them scared?. I am sure they quaking in their boots in anticipation of your next offer, the wtbs simply does not debate and you knew this so you offered something that would be rejected out of hand and now you can claim they are scared.

A debate would be a good thing but the wtbs like any other organization will not battle unless it is of benefit to itself.

Did 1914 mark an increase in earthquake activity & deaths worldwide?

by Kenneson in

alan feuerbacher has written an excellent expose' to the jw position which maintains that since 1914 the frequency and resulting deaths due to earthquakes exceed all previous years.

it is well written and worth your while to peruse.

the title of the article is "watchtower society backpedals on earthquakes or how magicians write essays.

REALNESS

Alan f : Thank you for the offer but i must politely decline your kind invitation, i know you are a busy man and have many pressing engagements, so feel it would be unfair of me to distract you with my nonsense a moment longer.

This generation will by no means pass away until these things occur. These "things" are the sign of the last days, not all these signs came to pass at the exact same time, rather as we head into the last days each individual sign comes together to form the bigger picture, the composite sign as jesus taught, a period of time will occur when these signs are all occuring and reoccuring time and time again together. Since 1914 these signs have occured at various times, eg: wars, earthquakes but not all the signs at the same time. These are the beginings of the pangs of distress and they will be fufilled when they occur in such an undeniable together.

These signs represet the beginings of the pangs of distress and not the end of this system, so the generation of 1914 can pass away as these signs occur and in the fufillment of these. These signs only provide evidence that jesus is near, so there will be a period of time after these and the wtbs is not reliant on armagedon taking place in respect of these scriptures.

Are JW's Really Zealous?

by metatron in

are witnesses really zealous?

they certainly claim to be.

they "turn in" field service reports month by month claiming.

REALNESS

Maverick: wherever this zealousness is " directed" from it is still zealousness which was the whole point of this thread.

You also say the true god is forgiving and the wtbs keeps records, what do you think the true god does? jehovah keeps a record of all humankind, as will be in the reserection. keeping a record does not mean not forgiving.

Francios: i just knew u would say NO .

As the wtbts points out there is no need for an increase, true there have always been these "signs" but jesus meant that in the last days people would be able to see these signs clearly, in the age we live in, with 24 hr news coverage and internet access people are able to see these things taking place. There would be no point in these signs happening even a century ago because not everybody would be able to wittness these things, the world is a smaller place, hence jesus words You will see earthquakes etc.

Cow Blood

by Rado Vleugel in

jw
friends

the official watchtower-site does feature a story about the masai.

the article doesn't talk about one of the most talked about customs of the masai: the drinking of cow blood!

compare this description from an encyclopedia with the http://www.watchtower.org/ article.

REALNESS

Jehovahs wittnesses are allowed to use cows blood now because the cow is a holy animal, like in india.... hence we have the saying holy cow, jehovah annoited the cow after the flood, i think its great the wtbts has taken the bull by the horns with this decsion.
