i don't think i've come across this line of reasoning on jwn but this thought has been going back and forth like a ping pong ball mentally.

jws offer no real benefit to the world even if they do make people stop fighting in gang-banger relationships or stop criminals from stealing.

there are religions that help people find jesus and these people do begin to help, they feed the hungry, they begin to involve themselves volunteering for different charities.

Asshole Atheism – Not for me, now or ever.
by donny in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
to start off with let me clarify that by asshole atheism i am not referring to strong atheism or any other type of upfront atheism.

what i am referring to is the belligerent, hateful atheism that smacks of trolls and other types who want to derail conversation or comments at any cost..

i enjoy hearing comments from both sides of the subjects of theism, nationalism or politics, especially from those who have intense opinions.

What if JWs Viewed Disfellowshipping and Excommunication as Radical Islamists Do?
by Oubliette in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
i found this statement from a recent article about isis to be quite interesting in view of the way that any jw can be accused of apostasy with little or no possible repercussions or consequences for the accuser: .

in islam, the practice of takfir, or excommunication, is theologically perilous.

if a man says to his brother, you are an infidel, the prophet said, then one of them is right.

Do Jehovah's Witnesses really practice charity and help the needy in war ravaged areas in third-world countries?
by JWCart in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
the pusher i have told a young man today that jehovah's witnesses are one of the biggest helpers with hunger reliefs and bringing solar stoves to west africa and the watchtower has donated vast resources to help ebola victims by providing hundreds of "clean up stations" plus jehovah's witnesses are sending millions of dollars in medical aid, is this true?.

are jehovah witnesses with backing from the watchtower helping eliminate illiterate children like the catholic church is doing in uganda and kenya by housing 5 to 13 year old kids and proving two meals, a roof over their head and education up to 15 years giving them a edge, so they don't end up in the sex trade, as a jw-cart the pride swelled up in my heart knowing how generous our organization is with the poor.
