  Why bother creating all the other galaxies?

  by purrpurr in

  i'm still reading and researching the bible.

  a thought occurred to me... the universe is so huge and full yet most of it cannot be seen by the naked human eye.. while jw's could claim that god created the stars to look pretty/ for navigation... what about the rest that cannot be seen?

  the huge never ending mass of universe that the bronze age writers of the bible had no idea about?.

  Lets see, we have about 183 billion stars in our galaxy, so God created them for

  our, whatever. So with the naked eye we may be able to see 1-5% of those stars.

  But God knew one day man would invent the telescope so we could gaze at his

  creation.

  Photosynthesis and the problem with the creation story

  by purrpurr in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i just noticed in the bible that on day three, god created the plants and trees on the earth.... day four, god created the sun, moon and stars!

  so that means that the vegetation that is by its very nature dependant upon light to grow and photosynthesise was created a day before the sun that it needs to live!???.

  this gets even more strange when you factor in the jw exhuse that a day to god is like a thousand years.

  prologs:" gamma bursts", yes that would certainly light up things. The only

  problem with that kind of ray, it's the most powerful kind of explosion known in

  the universe, may have triggered a mass extinction on earth within the past billion

  years. But who knows, maybe he (GOD) scorched the earth (I screwed up) and decided

  to start all over again.

  For "Us" skeptics.

  We skeptics have long ridiculed the science of biblical creation over this point.

  How could there be light bathing the earth before the sun was created?

  Actually there are many sources of light, not just the sun. There are also many types

  of light, not just visible light. Short-wave light includes ultraviolet light, x-rays and others.

  Light does not automatically require the sun.

  Washington Post in US: Jehovah's Witnesses Face Child Sex Abuse Investigation in Australia

  it's finally hit mainstream media in the us!

  let's hope some savvy investigative journalists see a pulitzer for opening up this story to cover the us and worldwide cases.. jehovahs-witnesses-face-child-sex-abuse-investigation-in-australia/2015/08/14/.

  everyone who is able should hurry up and post comments on their website as the pro-jw forces have rallied and are trying to squash this as libel.

  Received a email today from a friend. "Woman injected with knockout drug at

  gas station. Warning, warning. The short story, a lady getting gas and approach by

  a man claiming to be a painter. He gave her his card that was covered in Burundanga (a

  powerful drug). She drove away and the man followed her and she became sick.

  WWW. Snopes. com Woman injected with knockout drug at gas station.

  Take a look at the story and after you read it, what come to mind..

  My first thought, why the guy didn't become ill, was he wearing gloves.

  I don't believe sh--t anymore, thanks to the WT.....

  I checked the source of the story, it's been around since 2008. LOL

  Talkin' bout my generation

  by FusionTheism in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  instead of this latest video by governing body member david splane, attempting to explain the current view of what jesus meant about "this generation" in matthew 24:34, the governing body should, if they were truly wanting to put "truth" first, have simply said "this is one idea we have, but it may be wrong, and in all honesty, we aren't sure what jesus meant here.".

  then, they could have gone on to give the different valid options for interpreting this passage.. instead they doubled-down on a confusing doctrine that can't really be supported by scripture.. there was no overlapping generation of 100+ years in the original 1st century fulfillment of jesus' words, so why would there be a 175-year overlapping generation in the antitypical modern fulfillment?.

  while we are on the topic, why are they even still saying that matthew 24:34 has a typical and antitypical fulfillment, since they said we shouldn't interpret things now as types and antitypes unless the bible explicitly says so?.

  I knew her well, she would call me when I was in HS. She would talk for hours

  about weird stuff. We weren't JW at the time, but years later when I was waking up she

  became a JW. Today she is the leader of the sisters in her congregation. She was a nut

  in HS and a bigger nut now. My daughter (JW) told me Dad you know sisterXXXX, she

  is a little strange, huh. I told her, you don't know the half of it..

  I saw her a few years back and she just stared at me while the wife and I was

  having lunch, creepy. She have been a pioneer for over 30 years and never married.
