  What's more to blame- the WT or the bible?

  by keyser soze in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  aren't they both just differen't variations of the same lie?

  the only difference is the scale on which their impact on humanity is measured.

  that, and the fact that the bible can exist without the wt, but not vice versa.. but at the end of the day, what's the difference between claiming to be the inspired word of god, or the one true religion?

  JW refuses to provide wedding stationery to Gay couple

  by KateWild in

  i was outraged at this and had to post it.. http://jehovahswitnessreport.com/blog/jw-refuses-to-provide-wedding-stationery-to-gay-couple.

  i think she is a hypocrite and i bet she sells her invites to fornicators, or does she ask them if they are having sex before marrige, before she takes their money?.

  i was never like this when i was a jw, it's even more disturbing that she is going to ask her elders what to do.

  Escaping Indoctrination - Faith Isn't a Virtue.

  by cofty in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the unknown writer of the gospel of john put the following words in jesus' mouth, "blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.".

  persuading countless generations that it is a virtue to believe incredible things on insufficient evidence, is one of religion's cleverest tricks.. the more incredible the claim; the more flimsy the evidence; the stronger the belief; the greater the virtue.. this is the exact opposite of how we operate in every other aspect of our lives.. rational people must demand objective evidence for everything they are asked to believe.

  "extraordinary claims demand extraordinary evidence".. leaving the dogmatic claims of the watchtower is only a first step.

  i have a genuine question for the jw apologist.

  .

  what is your scriptural justification for your unquestioning obedience to the governing body and your unwillingness to question their intepretation of scripture?.

  Without Fail...

  by mrhhome in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  on a non-jw related note... my wife put up a bee hive on the back part of our property two weeks ago.

  her and my daughter are very proud of it.. there is an old dead tree that needed to come down.

  i meant to do it before she got the bees, but circumstance was that i didn't.

  Wondering what you guys think about child abuse...

  by bobert in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  to start off, i'm not saying this happens, or doesn't.

  i'm just a bit confused on the subject, and what you guys are always talking about.

  what exactly is it with the wt on the issue of child abuse?

  If I asked for a loan from the WBTS would they give it to me?

  by objectivetruth in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  if this were the "organization" that jesus chose in 1914.. err 1919, wouldn't the principles that he laid out while on earth apply to this organization as well?.

  matthew 5:42 "give to the one who begs from you, and do not refuse the one who would borrow from you.".

  so if jw's all asked for loans from the org, every now and then, it would be the orgs responsibility to grant those loans (interest free).

  The do not call list

  by LisaRose in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i have posted before about my experience trying to get on the "do not call" list.

  despite repeated requests, a phone call to the hall and mailing a letter, and then giving a copy to a jw, they just keep coming by.

  i was going to put up a no soliciting sign, then i can call the police on them, but my husband doesn't want me to do it.. so, i decided if they come back i would have some fun.
