  @ Paris..

  Yes I know that.. but I meant whatever the brain size or intellect it would make little difference to how the org is run.

  The same way that having a female; Margaret Thatcher as the Prime Minster of England made it a better place.

  The 10% brain size difference was a joke.

  Still no matter how clever a person is when your brain washed by a cult your brain washed.

  He would point out that Abraham, Job, David, Solomon, were rich men and God still blessed them...

  Was it not God who gave them their riches?

  I never understood why people in the past despite being violent killers, murderers, practiced incest, fornication, adultery, etc were blessed with ridiculous wealth, health and long lives.. whereas now lifelong faithful and loyal servants who practice no such things can look forward to at best maybe a winter jacket and a pair of shoes while keeping all their aches, pains and sickness..

  Where did the generosity go?

  Why oh why in the US do they think drugs are the answer to everything?

  Oh yes I forgot it's part of the culture.

  Best sleep aid in the world: Plenty of exercise and physical activity! If your mind and body are satisfactorily tired it will shut itself down quite happily.

  Watchtower Really Does Totally Take The Position of Jesus

  by OnTheWayOut in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  watchtower has said that jesus is not the mediator of anyone but for the anointed.

  then they tell you that they are jehovah's organization and that the flock should obey them.. basically, the watchtower corp. and it's governing body is taking the place of jesus as the mediator for people.

  christianity, even by it's name, focuses on making jesus known.

  So.. if everything I read above about Jesus and the organization is true. Then when Jesus does actually return this blood guilty organization which has been lying, deceiving, blaspheming, falsely prophesying, robbing people of all truth and their relationship with God, misrepresenting and dragging the name of Jesus and all his words and promises and the name of God himself through the mud nd is probably the very 'disgusting thing that causes desolation' will in fact be blasted out of existence as described in Revelation regarding the enemies of God.

  I find this idea very comforting.

  Believers, do you believe in evolution?

  by everchangingworld in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  after leaving, i still couldn't wrap my head around evolution (after the years of seing "intelligent design" in everything around me).. there's a series of videos that give a good intro to evolution and critical thinking.

  they've probably been posted here before, but, for any new members, these are worth watching.. evolution: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xdddbyilel0.

  critical thinking: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6olpl5p0fmg.

  Why is the world full of ATHEISTS?

  by exWTslave in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  bible describes atheism as a condition of the heart and is all about seeking what is ephemeral, not acting with insight.

  (psalm 14:1, 2) thus it rightly says the whole world is lying in the attraction of what is ephemeral.

  (wicked one is not a correct translation.1 john 5:19) thus even believers who pray to god (for material blessings) are actually atheists as they are not trying to be poor in spirit.

  Simple. The world is full of atheists because it is not full of God.

  I found it astonishing how JWs analyze every minute detail of Greek and Hebrew (allegedly) to work out the days we live in and yet don't even know how their god's name is pronounced. It just seems weird to me.

  Apparently calculating dates and chronology is much easier then getting names perfect because in Hebrew there were no vowels written. How names really sounded is just guesswork.

  Like most early Semitic alphabetic writing systems, the alefbet has no vowels. People who are fluent in the language do not need vowels to read Hebrew, and most things written in Hebrew in Israel are written without vowels.

  However, as Hebrew literacy declined, particularly after the Romans expelled the Jews from Israel, the rabbis recognized the need for aids to pronunciation, so they developed a system of dots and dashes called nikkud (points). These dots and dashes are written above, below or inside the letter, in ways that do not alter the spacing of the line. Text containing these markings is referred to as "pointed" text. Pronunciations are approximate.
  
  My name: Ds-Mmbr could be pronounced a thousand different ways of you insert all the possible vowel variations.
  
  We really don't have a clue what God's name is. What right does anyone have to just make one up for him?
