  huge crowds of angry people showed up to support these martyrs.

  in bali most people treat them like rock stars....the same with 9/11 middle eastern people dancing in the streets.

  Higher Education - do you know any witnesses who are College Lecturers?

  by eyeslice in

  it has become increasingly apparent that the society is currently taking a hard line on university/college education for the young.

  however, this policy must put some witnesses in an awkward position.

  i know of an elder who is a prominent university professor, in fact he is a world authority in his field of work, which is a medical area that seeks to better the lot of humankind in general.

  Has anyone seen "Population 436" ?

  wow - the striking similarities to cults stood the hair on my neck.

  the pictures in the 'prophecy book' looked amazingly watchtoweresque also, and lead the lead character to immediately investigate 'biblical numerology'.

  i had seen it before - but there must be less and less fog in my mind nowadays - since i didn't see any of the same similarities i saw when i watched it last night.

  And this was how it was a little ok to go to college...

  by Inquisitor in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i don't know how the situation sits with the congregations these days in light of certain overt anti-education directives.. see seeker4's thread fallout from gb anti-college.... but where i grew up as a witness... there was an unwritten loophole (among the r&f) that made going to university "palatable" to the witnesses.. if you were going to uni to be trained it certain professions it was deemed worth the sacrifice made.

  it was believed that:.

  lawyers could defend the wts from the menace of government oppression, aiding in the release of incarcerated bros and sis.. lawyers would have sharp oratory skills.

  Gay Marriage - The War for Equality

  by Inquisitor in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i've just read lola28's thread "for those against gay marriage".

  i thought i should present a clear message on what i think the gay marriage issue is all about.

  the trouble with most discussions on this issue is that it gets clouded by a plethora of side-issues, non-issues, cave-men chest-thumping and medieval puritanism.

  Atheist need to start fighting fire with fire LITERALY

  by 5go in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i was watching some program on the inquisition.

  you know that thing christianity would love for you to forget happened.. when the court system of rome failed the christian courts took over they instituted trial by ordeal.. simply put any accused of a crime would be tortured tested to see if they were innocent by many forms of painful test to see if god would come to the accused's defence.

  if they were innocent then no harm would happen to them because of their faith, of course pretty much 100% of the time they were hurt an were summarily executed punished with all the love of jesus in mind.. atheist should due the same accuse all of christians of crimes and force them into trial by ordeal to prove their innocence and backed by god.

  Dispelling Watchtower Myths of RC Beliefs

  by Amazing in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  over the last two years, as i moved back to the catholic church, i have been confronted with objections by several people regarding certain catholic teachings.

  these concerns are almost always the same, and are founded in mythology created by the watchtower society, and some evangelical denominations.

  god can and does use fallible men to do infallible things?
