Is Mankind Born Evil....or Good?
by Farkel in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
many ancients including confucious and lao tzu took opposing views about this subject and their arguments are fascinating to read.

their arguments are nearly 2,500 years old.

the greeks also lively debated this question.. of course, as dubs (and in fact, in most christian faiths) we were taught that man was born inherently evil, and the quest is to overcome that and work towards the good.

Was the Holy Spirit part of Jesus or a force controlled by God
by shotgun in

2. bible
the account where the woman with the blood flow touched jesus outer garment and was cured interests me.. jesus felt the power leave him and looked to see who touched him.

if the holy spirit was an active force seperate and controlled by god why would jesus have felt a power drain.. if you consider most of jesus healings to be a placebo which only healed people who believed like present day faith healers do this account sheds a different perspective.. if you believe jesus was god and all powerful it seems strange that he would notice the insignicant power needed to stop a flow of blood considering the awesome displays of power which never seemed to bother him(calming a storm, replacing a severed ear, raising the dead, feeding thousands with basically nothing..although my mom could do that too).

what are your thoughts...yes you too mr canon...not too long though...ok...remember kiss

2. beliefs
i will be posting some more "troublesome trinity" verses shortly.

i am trying to concentrate on the verses used by non-trinitarians to "disprove" the trinity.

"mighty god" is jehovah in isaiah 10:21, jeremiah 32:18 etc.

The Scriptures

the scriptures are some of the oldest books in the world known to man with dates included now how do you suppose that can be, that these books have survived this long, many thousands of years ?

hmmmmmm i don't see any other book on the shelf as long as this book not even any other history book as far as that goes, now i wonder why a book that supposedly is nothing more than a lie or uninspired as some of you put it would survive that long.

i wonder how christianity has lasted as long as it has if it is all just a lie.

New Light on the United Nations (U.N.) (Scarlet Beast)
by UnDisfellowshipped in
1. jw
2. friends
there appears to be "new light" in the latest watchtower magazine (june 1st 2003 issue).

several watchtower publications for the last 50+ years have said that the united nations (u.n.) organization ("the scarlet-colored wild beast" of revelation) would definitely be the organization that will carry out jehovah's judgment on "babylon the great" (false religion), and then, under satan's [gog of magog's] direction, the united nations organization would become "greedy", and try to attack the remaining remnant of the "anointed" jehovah's witnesses and their companions, the "great crowd" of "other sheep", and then jehovah and jesus would destroy the united nations organization, along with everyone else who was not a jehovah's witness.

here is a quote that shows this: .
