though school i did religious education and my teacher who was religious ruled out evolution because humans are the only creatures who do not want to die, can anyone who understands evolution explain this?.
im 99% on to the theory of evolution, this is just the last stumbling block..
Is this from something or are you having wine? Because it's making me laugh either way. I might just start answering my unreasonable relatives this way.
First of all, it's reasonable and ridiculosu answer to southern baptists religious family.
Second, I am a whisky kind iof gal, buster.
what i can't seem reconcile are the concepts of 'clergy' and 'ordained minister'.. the wts has consistently won legal battles, specifically in cases involving military exemption, by making the claim that each and every baptized jw is an 'ordained minister'.
and, they bolstered this label with the assertion that 'we do not have a clergy class'.
so, why is that different now in the sex abuse trials that happening right now?
The WT us full of shit. Tey lie as they need to for whatever.
Drinks!
yes friends.....this is the comment said to me by an elder!.

they define babylon the great as the "world empire of false religion", and that jehovah god will use the united nations to turn on her.. .
the "keep on the watch" brochure says the following, regarding the destruction of babylon the great:.
"for our day, the bible forecasts that political governments, like a wild beast, will turn on "the harlot" and strip her naked, exposing her real .

It changes colors when it's to its advantage to do so.
Right on! Drinks@!
the catholic church skews there numbers by counting as catholics even those who no longer attend and may not even profess to be catholic.
do jehovah's witness do something similar or even the same thing?
they seem to be very much in favor of going inactive imo.

LOL read a science book.

on another thread a poster made the comment that the golden rule was garbage.
she said it was arrogant and made assumptions.. i didn't want to derail that thread so i started another wondering if this is a common thought about this belief on this forum.
i guess i naively thought the value of doing to others as you want them to do to you was generally accepted as positive.. i understand people have different opinions of jesus as a person but i don't want to get into that here.
If you got something better than the Golden Rule that can also be stated in few words I want to hear it.
Already did. Read this direction ^^^^^
I am sure I can work out unforeseen circumstances and exceptions to the rule without the extra rules that you suggest.
I didn't suggest them, I was commenting on someone else saying it was required for the golden rule to work.

Some people just have a chip on their shoulder and will jump on anything the Bible says as an opportunity to show how much smarter people are now. Probably has something to do with waking up from being a victim of cult thinking...
Who do you imagine was trying to show how people are smarter now and who do you think is acting victimized?
