Could you ever really relax in a self-driving car?

by Simon in

i love science and technology and we are living in a golden age right now.

the world has changed in so many incredible ways just in the time i've been alive.. my first car was a vauxhall viva.

it was brilliant because it was my first car and represented freedom.

Biblical Prohecies That Came True?

by Viviane in

recently there have been several claims made regarding prophecies that came true.

i've not personally seen a prophecy that i would consider as having come true.

i would consider the following as the requirements to say something is a prophecy and evaluate whether or not it came true:.

Wishful thinking is as salve to the mind of those who require comfort from the acceptance of that which requires blind faith. The fear of the judgement of their perspective god keeps the mind captive and bereft of reality.

Updated Chronological Timeline of the Great Tribulation -- after the New Light from July Watchtower

by FusionTheism in

the july 15, 2015 study watchtower article entitled "your deliverance is getting near", along with the jw broadcasting video entitled "gerrit losch: fortified by "the prophetic word," and chapter 21 of the god's kingdom rules!

book presented a large amount of new light or clarified understanding of the events of the great tribulation.. here i am presenting it in chronological order -- this is the governing body's updated chronological order of events for the time right before the great tribulation through armageddon:.

the final sealing of the anointed occurs just prior to the outbreak of the tribulation.

If They Stopped Shunning Tomorrow?

by cofty in

imagine that the cult decided to stop shunning family members on the proviso that the dfd person was not actively trying to attack the cult.. (please don't debate whether or not this is likely - it's hypothetical).

how would you respond to your family?.

personally i think i would be less than cooperative.

If those who shun because of an organisations directive, require same to abandon this practice then they are still of the same controlled mindset.

It is the natural act of loving association as far as close family primarily that I would have to be convinced of. In my experience those who shun to the most exaggerated degree have a problem with natural affection and may never be able to humble themselves by admitting they were guilty of such a despicable act. In my personal experience I'm afraid a change in the shunning practice would make little difference as I would have to feel genuine love.

A big hello and thank you

by iwasblind in

i just wanted to introduce myself and say a big hello to all of my mentally diseased friends.. i say friends because i have been lurking for some time so it feels like home (us lurkers are a bit scared and cautious so it takes a while).

i won't bore you with too many details, but i am a born in, currently serving as the cobe of a congregation.

my wife and i have pioneered for the last 10 years and were shaken awake by that ridiculous 15th july 2013 wt about the generation and 1914.. my wife who is much smarter than me has questioned for years.

Welcome...I am an atheist and felt no compulsion to seek god or jesus when I left the jws. My investigations into other forms of Christian worship or otherwise led me to realise that the jws were a part of and completely interlinked to the worldwide falsehood and deception of .. god head ..jesus..claimed human representation...reward..all achieved by conceding your absolute right to live your life without fear of failing to be worthy of reaching the standards set by some ancient dubious writings.

Best wishes.

Why I remain one of Jehovah's Witnesses

by Brother Jeramy in

allow me to begin with a clarification: when i say i am one of jehovah's witnesses, i don't mean that i am an advocate of the watchtower society or a devotee of some of its more controversial false teachings.

i mean that i am a christian, a disciple of jesus christ dedicated to jehovah god, and who remains in union with my brothers and sisters who make up the family of faith that globally refers to itself as jehovah's witnesses.

some totally understand the distinction between the family of brothers and sisters and the corporate organization known as the watchtower society (wts).

Jeramy try sending your post to the elders in your cong' and see how long you ' remain a jehovah's witness.you are deluding yourself!!

Jeramy...you call them your brothers and sisters! See how brotherly they will be towards you if they knew your innermost thoughts about their beloved mother organization. It seems to me you remain associated to this religion in a clandestine form afraid to face up to the reality of being exposed .

Quote or Misquote?.. Here are the full quotes from the June 1st 2015 Watchtower- How Science Affects Your Life

by defender of truth in

quote from 1 june 2015 watchtower:.

galaxie

These jw writers are being thoroughly and knowingly deceptive. They quite obviously seek out these scientific articles read them thoroughly and cherry pick to bolster their belief with the sole purpose of controlling the reader by misguidance. Imo it is dishonest bordering on criminal , otherwise they would endeavour to expand the further content of the article from which they are quoting. There are of course many precedents of this watchtower tactic.
