Hi zophar..please read your 2nd paragraph "seems to me the ' actual words of jesus ' etc' " . Yes I agree ' ascribed 'is accurate.
Best wishes.

How do you feel about the Red Letters?
by zophar incurious as to how you feel about the actual words ascribed to jesus in a red letter edition translation bible like niv on biblegateway.com?.
do you feel these teachings are inspired and or beneficial to a productive life?
it seems to me that the actual words of jesus contain real wisdom and show how to live a fulfilling life.

" Actual words of jesus " ...is an erroneous and presumptuous statement. There is ZERO proof of anything jesus said , and dubious proof ' that ' jesus even existed. -

The org, it's money problems ans other stuff!
by username inhi there, although i have been a lurker here for a while now i've not yet posted a new topic, so here goes nothing lol.. i have been thinking a lot lately on all the changes and the branch visits, specifically the uk branch visit where apparently it has bean mentioned the great tribulation is about to start.. since i've not heard the full talk and only heard certain items from it i got to thinking that maybe this is the org's way of saying the watchtower is about to go down due to all the cover ups and the long list of discrepancies.. maybe i am way off the mark here, what does everone else think?.

Whoever ' attacks ' or threatens the existence of the JWs wtbts will have satan as their instigator,the rank and file will duly acknowledge, they have been primed. -

Are you religious or are you spiritual? Wake up to what?
by Deltawave inthere is a huge difference between been religious and been spiritual.
been religious is about been superior to others in the sight of god.
however, been spiritual is about self awareness, inner peace and unity with the natural world.

To seek a higher purpose by means of a supernatural undefined answer is to concede that your life from birth to grave is beyond your own ability to find a purposeful life from which you can find love , beauty,wonder and happiness and cherish your existence with others on this unique planet. -

July Kingdom Ministry
by CloseTheDoor inthe july 2015 kingdom ministry says jws can't do international outreach through the internet, but to instead, point someone in the direction of jw.org site.. it's just another form of control.
the individual publisher is forced to send the interested one to a website fully controlled by the borg.. .

In short...go to mother like good obedient little children and do not use your own initiative...or suffer the consequences!!! No adult independent reasoning required.
This directive from the borg is about control !!

by JWdaughter inok, l know i am not the first to notice or likely comment on this, but as little as i respect commenting on persons, i am going to do it now.. lett seems like a charicature.
he is so strange-i cringe when i watch him speak.its as ifhe was once given advice to speak slowly and clearly and now he just talks like a cartoon.
he creeps me out.

One short New Testament verse sums up the problem with faith.
by nicolaou in"for we are walking by faith, not by sight" 2 corinthians 5:7. that's it right there.
don't value the evidence of your own eyes or trust what you can measure and test; no, just have faith.. the frustration is that even when this is pointed out to the devout believer they still don't see the problem.
they still see faith as a virtue and something superior to 'sight'..

'Sight' may also be equated to having an understanding as in ' don't you see '. Those who don't wish to understand or seek education may fall back on the lazy excuse of blind faith ...very foolish!. -

"In the beginning, God created the Heavens and the Earth . ."
by nicolaou inso where did god exist before he created the heavens?

As we are all the result of a physical state which existed as a result of forces which may be beyond the limits of human comprehension as per the make up of our brain, we have to work with the evidence which presents itself either by scientific study or natural occurrences. Where god exists or did exist or will exist is a deviation , sometimes deliberately so to detract from reality in our knowledgeable and enlightened times. -

Thankfully there are many elders who have ' seen through ' this watchtower sham and excuse as gods representatives . Most of these so called elders are cherry picked puppets who cant see past their own egos and will hold onto their position whilst inwardly realise they are part of a falsehood, otherwise their delusion is really a sickness. -

What is BELIEF ?
by EdenOne instemming from the 'absentheism' thread, an old question came to my mind.
what exactly is "belief"?.
is it the same to ask: "do you believe in god?

There are mountains, trees and people...they exist I need no belief that this is so.
There are no unicorns, fairies or supernatural gods...I need no belief that this is so.. they quite simply don't exist now or ever.
The idea formed in the human brain that unicorns,fairies or supernatural gods exist is a belief held by individuals for reasons best known to themselves.
If someone tried to convince you of the reality of the existence of unicorns,fairies or supernatural gods...which would you dismiss as fantasy?
