Jehovah Witness promotion of JW.org as the place to get answers to all of lifes important question is the height of arrogance

by Brokeback Watchtower in

we are hearing reports of this promotion of the website by the jw and it seems to be a resource for them to dodge questions of their faith, when they don't have or want to give an answer to a question they direct the house holder to the organization/corporation's website to get the answer as if it really existed.there.. i think soon they are going to drop the door to door work all together as completely unprofitable, i mean their donation arrangement is a complete flop and has cost them i'm sure so they are in the process of shipping as many as they can into building up real estate for the corporation, because that is where the money is right now.. the whole jw.org is just a complete failure as a source of good information and only scare away people except the most vulnerable/gullible.. .

We are hearing reports of this promotion of the website by the JW and it seems to be a resource for them to dodge questions of their faith, when they don't have or want to give an answer to a question they direct the house holder to the Organization/Corporation's website to get the answer as if it really existed.there.

A couple of JWs stopped by my house last month and that's exactly what they did. I didn't tell them I was DF'ed, we just had a conversation about why logically God doesn't make sense and evolution is true (on of the JWs even admitted evolution was real), eventually they just said that JW.ORG could answer all of my questions.

I saw one of the JW ladies in the store about a week later, she asked if I had visited the website. I said that I had but it didn't answer any more questions. She didn't push for a return visit or anything. It seemed as if the was that if one visit and a website hit couldn't convince me, time to move on!

Please vaccinate your children

by Viviane in

and remember your boosters as adults!.

currently there is a measles outbreak in the u.s. the outbreak is clustered into communities where parents choose not to get their children vaccinated.

vaccination works primarily on herd immunity.

You just knew the anti-science people would jump into this one.

I did, but no conversation on this topic can be had without the loonies showing up.

If you don't want to vaccinate your kids, great; just get out of my country.

I would no go that far, just don't let them go to public school or to any college that gets government funding. Make it a requirement for any business (or anyone it does business with) that does business with the federal government to have immunization records for it's employees. Insurance companies should make it a requirement to get health insurance.

If an outbreak does happen, require that they get the vaccine to go to the doctor. Basically, adopt a "you are free not to get it, you're just going to be extremely limited in the way you can spread disease".

BTW, it will be your kids who get it, mine have been vaccinated.

Well, unless they are very young, have compromised immune systems, older adults, cancer patients, etc. Yes, my kids and yours are fine, but those other innocent victims count on herd immunity to protect them and anti-vaxxers put them as well as their own children at risk and THAT is the core of the problem. It's NOT just their kids they put at risk. Their kids are literally walking time bombs of disease spreading to innocent victims through irresponsibility.

everybody here needs to see these
DANGER! DANGER!!!!!!!!!! DO NOT get VACCINES

Maishas, rather than write hair-on-fire-all-caps-OMG, do you have actual evidence? Not anecdotes, not something a guy heard from a guy that knows a guy. Actual evidence.

Speaking from first hand knowledge:

Actual knowledge: http://www.cdc.gov/vaccinesafety/Concerns/Autism/antigens.html

You can find an anecdote to prove anything.

interesting reading

Interesting in the sense of "I don't understand science, how does it work?". The article takes something working exactly as designed and misunderstands it while making a few things exaggerating others.

It's like saying "I drove to work today" vs. "I was flung here by a series of explosions and friction and barely missed several large objects that weigh well over a ton and were traveling at lethal speeds."

Vaccination saves lives.

NEVER Would I have my kids vaccinated.

I hope you do and and don't have kids. Vaccination is not linked with any of the things you listed. Vaccines save lives. You betray your real issue when you say what the intent of the document is, to put officials (whatever that means) on the defensive in a weakened position, not to protect your child at all cost.

The Italians believe the MMR shots do cause autism and so do others.The Italians don't give out this shot any longer I believe,

Actually, Italy has a very nice vaccination schedule which still includes the MMR at 12-14 months, http://www.euvac.net/graphics/euvac/vaccination/italy.html.

Every study ever done shows zero link between vaccination and autism.

There maybe a connection between giving children three vaccinations all at once and some of the health problems kids experience later in life.

There is no evidence for any link. There is evidence for diseases ravaging populations without vaccinations, however.

There is also natural ways to vaccinate against measles. Do your research.

Ironic advice, coming from the person who's opening belief could have been confirmed or disproven with a 30 second google search.

Anyway, there is no way to naturally vaccinate against measles. "Getting measles" and building up an immunity isn't vaccination. There is no way to protect against death and other symptoms a wide scale measles outbreak can cause.

Vaccination saves lives.

They'll probably figured out that my OP said "boobsters" instead of boosters. The Boobsters seems like it should be a good name for something, but I can't figure out what.

I will always remember my "BOOBSTERS" as you say
(sorry, I couldn't resist a bit of childish humour hehe)

D'oh! Thanks! Fixed it while I still had time. And there is nothing wrong with childish humor.

When a Witness claim the uniqueness of Bible and its accurate prophecies!

by abiather in

with the bulletin of atomic scientists moving its iconic doomsday clock up 2 minutes on 23.01.2015 (which means we are just three minutes closer to midnight in comparison to 17 minutes to midnight in 1991), and rapturewatch.net/timelines.htm predicting the end of the world as early as 2017, subject of last days is getting heated up again..

next time you have a witness boasts about the uniqueness of biblical propheciesespecially about last days, you can point the following photographic description of our times found in srimad bhagavatam, one of the ancient scriptures written even before the bible:.

1) religion, truthfulness, cleanliness, tolerance, mercy, duration of life, physical strength and memory will all diminish day by day because of the powerful influence of the age of kali (age of unrigteousness).12.2.1.

You are free to hold your view that world is getting better and better day-by-day.

First, that's not what anyone said at ALL. I said (and I think Cofty was close) is that the world is better than it has been and keeps getting better. Life expectancy, war, slavery, disease crime, etc., are all reduced or less severe. It is not an opinion, it is an observable fact.

My experience is that world is becoming worse and worse day-by-day.

How, specifically, is that your experience? How are you comparing the the world on a day by day basis to reach that conclusion? So far, nothing you've said supports reaching that conclusions, it was simply anecdotal data without context.

Interestingly, former Pope Benedict XVI shared my view of the world

OK. So? Former popes ordered murders, had prostitutes, ordered genocides, etc.
