  How the WT would look if written in 1st person: SO DISGUSTING

  by Antioch in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  how would the watchtower of july 15th read if the watchtower was written in 1st person from the ones allegedly preparing an dispensing spiritual food (ie the watchtower)?

  why is it written by a faceless 3rd person telling readers what to think about the people who are allegedly dispensing the very material i'm reading?

  i was reading the july 15th article and laughed at the ridiculousness of it all.. .

  here's 22 questions asked by creationists of evolutionists, on the night of the nye/ham debate: we've got alot of people who can help these creationists out, right here on jwn, so it seems the neighborly thing to do, right?.

  Qc-lets simplify it

  noun 1. any process of formation or growth; development: the evolution of a language; the evolution of the airplane. 2. a product of such development; somethingevolved: The exploration of space is the evolution of decades of research. 3. change in the gene pool of a population from generation to generation by such processes as mutation, natural selection, and genetic drift. for instance: The scientists showed for the first time how the virus called "Lambda" evolved to find a new way to attack host cells, an innovation that took four mutations to accomplish. This virus infects bacteria, in particular the common E. colibacterium. Lambda isn't dangerous to humans, but this research demonstrated how viruses evolve complex and potentially deadly new traits, noted Justin Meyer, MSU graduate student, who co-authored the paper with Richard Lenski, MSU Hannah Distinguished Professor of Microbiology and Molecular Genetics. ....now did God make a happy virus that didnt hirt anyone? Just made the girus to kill animals until man sinned? Because if it changed from animals to humans then some forM of evolving took place.....but alas i feel im spinning tires with you..

  Jealous Murderous OT Yahweh Jehovah really is Satan?

  by Shanagirl in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i would love to start a discussion (not a debate) with others that follow the gnostic writings from the nag hammadi library.

  i am a believer that pretty much every belief has some truths and fallacies.

  some say its a game of 'only taking what you like out of something'.....i say, its using discernment to find the 'pure nature' of what god would be and is.

  Fhis is the birth of the Atheist (i will show u when im lowed to post)

  You feel it?

  god. He is merciful....in what way? The way a human recognizes it. with feelings and pleasure, emotion, pride.....yet the Bible tells us to negate all said things...why? We are human--imperfect, fucked up, because god did t see that apparently free will lead to our forgetting him....but if im wrong God created us, our being our emotion , iur flaws--and left us to chals....to prove a point? To prove man cannot rule lurselves? Hmmm..interesting. Or is it that. godeft us long ago to our chaotis ....our philosophosing?. So where is God to judge us now? I questioned him!!! But why would my leasley life compare to countlesss others who died and not cause Jehovah watched em? F*ck me it is APPALLING how out of touch MOST hikans are with real life....God help us...for no one else will

  So this is it? This is life? In this bubble? To the time of "sunshine, (adigio in D minor) listen to it and i promise it will change u!

  No i think not . I may be a husband to a JW wife, a father to jw kids (if they even know what it means) but this is the straw. The final straw. I have a vacation in Colorado...with all in and Baptised Jws. But i have an obligAtion, a TRUTH. I must share it. I have an OBLIGATION not to lie to witnesses...if truth is counter to them the. I MUST be more truthfil, no matter the consequences. So i shall buy my under armour my strength my imperfection...and ask the Questikns i know no indoctrinated Witness would ask. I have to know and address my problems and questions in Co USA..i hope my wife and mother inaw willl accept my imperfection ( hoch i know means absute truth)....i will expose them. My mom in law ready know that the GB should not and does not rule lver their beliefs.

  ny wife is on the brink...hera put her there when she told her not to judge her inqctive sis....oh yes a small gem. Help us. Raise us up to the human capacity of hogher learning...to just tiink beyond the WT help us!!!!
