this weeks assigned bible reading is judges 1-4. i have never noticed judges 1:19 before which reads in the nwt as:.
jehovah was with judah, and they took possession of the mountainous region, but they could not drive out the inhabitants of the plain,* because they had war chariots with iron scythes.
but in the kj as:.
Talking about contradiction, Joshua 17;18 "for you shall drive out
the Canaanites, though they have iron chariots and are strong".
OK which is it all mighty one?? One minute you tell me we can defeat the
Canaanites and the next minute you tell us we will get our butts kicked.
The people that wrote the Bible were neurotic...
hey guys.
i, as a muslim, play with two other muslim play together soccer with jw friends (we play against other jw's).
really nice guys!
Sir: 1 Corinthians 15;33 "Do not be deceived: Evil company
corrupts good habits". You seem like a nice guy, find others
to play soccer with. If you are not a JW you are believed to be
Evil company, even by your own family members...
if you walked up to any jw and said "i just spoke to satan" they would think you lost your mind.
while that reaction makes perfect sense in the real world, in wt land it doesn't add up.
here's why i say this -jw's are supposed to believe the following:.
A sister told the elders Satan was pestering her at nights in
her bed. The sister was single..One elder stated, she needs to get married.
disbelief is the default position, no one is born having a belief.
beliefs are.
acquired through culture and education, we all know that.

Disbelief is the default position, no one is born having a belief. Beliefs are
acquired through culture and education, we all know that. It is not
ultimately up to the atheist to justify atheism; rather it is up to the
theist to explain why belief in a God is reasonable. In the absence
of such explanation, theism should be regarded as irrelevant at
best but likely irrational.
Back to my original question, groups made up of rationalists and etc.
Pygmy tribes found in Africa have no identifiable cults or rites. There
were no totems, no gods, no spirits.
Tribes in Cameroon only believed in a malicious gods and so made no efforts
to placate or please them. LOL
One tribe answer about God "is he on a rock? On a white-ant hill? On a tree?
I never saw a God!
North America. Some North American indian tribes believed in a god, but did
not actively worship it, their philosophy, "Our grandfathers and our great-
grandfathers were won't to contemplate the earth alone, solicitous only
to see whether the plain afford grass and water for their horses. They
never troubled themselves about what went on in the heavens, and who
was the creator and governor of the stars.
What a fine way to live.
so i have gotten into arguements with my wife in the past about this cult.
now a days after reading steve hassan books...i just try and avoid anything jdub with her.
try to keep her in authentic mode..(not sure she really has one).
So does it mean we need works to help our faith or that our faith
is incomplete without works.
Acts, Romans and Mark states just believe and you will be saved.
JW's only see by knocking on doors they will be saved or standing
at their stands looking weird..
As others have mention, your faith should move you to do good for
others. It doesn't mean waking people up on a Sat. morning.
Their faith is based solely on door knocking, forget the hungry,needed and
as Morpheus and other mention the orphans and widows..
how in the hell can a girl basketball team score that many points??.
in san bernardino arroyo valley high, coach m. anderson was suspended 2 games for running up the score.. anderson said his team had won four previous games by at least 70 points and the team they beat had already lost a game by 91 points.. this remind me of the college calif inst of tech.
a few years ago they won their first basketball game and was front page in the sport section.. some of the brilliant minds in the world attend caltec, basketball is not first on their list.
cofty: I agree "If the team is so much better". Maybe the team needs to be
in a different conference or stopped the game at half time, no contest..
why are so many jehovah's witnesses unaware of their own beliefs.
.
i would imagine the repetitive meetings, studies and door to door knocking would firmly root them in their beliefs.. yet, i've observed they either back out of challenging questions at times, or share a link to jay w org.. .
If a written test was required to become a Elder and a passing
score of 90%, how many would pass?
Ask a elder about overlapping generation, blood, end times.
In fact just ask them about some of the basic teaching in the Bible.
The test must be given in a room without any WT publication, no
tablet (whatever they use in service today).
I'am sure all will get Matt. 24;14 right, but 50% will fail the test...
I was so surprised when a Elder told me, the promise land was about
2000 miles from Egypt...

Anderson stated, I soon realized this game was over so I put the
bench players in. Maybe that's how the team got two points.
