how does Jehovah rationalize Babel?
by SpiderMonkey ini'll try to keep this concise... this is an issue i never got an answer to, from the elders or any witness, on my way out of the "truth":.
jws believe that god permits evil to answer the "age-old challenge from satan the devil," that man can't rule himself without god, correct?
(please correct me if i'm wrong).

women in the bible
by blindfool inthe latest debate at bdf's home seems to be about a womans place in a church.
can some ex-jws, or current jw's, give me the scriptures used by the wtbts to keep women from serving as leaders in the congragations?
how about some examples of women used by god to spread his message.. thanks everyone!

Do you beleive in God, the bible or religion?
by Leander ini'm pretty sure this question has probably been asked before but i'd like to put it out here and see what the responses are.
my doubts about the bible probably began maybe 6 or 7 years ago, they were very small ones however and i managed to supress them for quite a while.

6000 years of human rule??...HAHAHA.
by refiners fire innow the story goes that god has abandoned humanity to "self rule" for a period of six thousand years.
correct me if im wrong.. now during this time, mankind is supposedly left to rule itself, and fail miserably, thus demonstrating that only theocratic rule can maintain peace, bliss and happiness.. well, i think gods cheated.. in my humble (satanic) opinion, if man is supposedly ruling himself, the god shouldnt be interfering and moulding events.. a big example:.

Women are Not the Glory of God

Does Knowledge of Evil Condemn Us?
by JosephAlward inordinarily i would post this topic in the "bible research" forum, but i found the following on the "friends" forum, in the "tree of what" thread, so i will leave it here.. achristian explains,.
[when] free people have a knowledge of evil they always, at least briefly, consider doing evil.
and, even having evil thoughts for a brief fleeting moment makes people less righteous than god.

"man's fate is like that of the animals; the same fate awaits them both: as one dies, so dies the other.
