The Bible Character Who Said, "Wait on Jehovah"
by metatron inonce upon a time, the bible tells us, there was an authority figure in ancient israel.
he observed the corruption, the decay, the wrongdoing and the nepotism and he wagged his finger vigorously !.
instead of taking action, he warned, 'you just wait until jehovah takes care of you !

How long into the future do you feel it will take before the majority of mankind give up on "God" to solve their problems?
by StoneWall ini mean the above question out of sincerity and honesty and not trying to belittle anyones beliefs or lack there of.. my point is if armageddon don't happen or the rapture within the next 1000 years or so, how long will man keep holding out hope for a divine being, whether it be jesus, jehovah, allah or "fill in the blank" to come and solve all the problems?.
do you feel that there is a timetable of any sort?.
if god hasn't manifested himself/herself/itself in say 5000 years from now to all mankind, do you think the majority at that time will still be clinging to a belief in a higher power if nothing at all has changed as far as their "appearing,coming, calling us to them etc."?.

Watchtower: You Need To Clean Your Organization, NOW!
by metatron inthe leaders of jehovah's witnesses are faced with a dilemma: they endlessly praise themselves as a 'clean' organization that has god's approval while dealing with the day to day reality of internal corruption, barely hidden decay, long term serious sins and a loss of vitality.. it should be obvious that there are countless elders going thru the motions simply to please their families - and much the same is true of publishers, as the society's own statistics manifest a profoundly unproductive preaching work.
worse yet, there is plain evidence of outright disloyalty as confidential documents pop up continually on the internet.
want a new elder's manual?

Is the New Testament Just a Pagan Corruption of the Old Testament?
by Diest ini find myself asking that question more and more of late.. my first reason is the claim of a virgin birth.
all of the jewish sources i read say that isaiah 7:14 does not talk about a virgin birth, but rather a birth to a young maiden.
it was only the greek septuagint that shifted this belief to a virgin birth that is similar to their greek myths.. .

"Doubting Jesus' Resurrection" by Kris D. Komarnitsky
by bohm inthis is a very simple idea i had not encountered before, and i hope other will find it interesting to.
the essay is taken from http://www.infidels.org/kiosk/article809.html, but i would also strongly recommend the more recent answer to wlcs critisism of the argument at: http://www.infidels.org/kiosk/article835.html.
"doubting jesus' resurrection".

Sorry about this absolutley CRAZY insight to my mind.
by dm6 inhello everybody.. even thinking about typing this thread as i lay here in bed at 11.30 at night, is hard enough, but i found some sort of motivation to do it.. i dont expect a massive response really, i guess all i really want to do is empty my mind out and stop things whirring over and over.. i am worried for my brother (younger brother he is 23) he is in guernsey channel islands (uk) and is in and out of intensive care drugs etc an there are a thousand more strings attached.
(drugdealers after him, homeless, jobless, about to go to prsion long story).
its a worry for me as his older brother.

i am so hurt, my heart is broke, and feel completly defeated.
he refuses to call me, blocked me on my facebook account, and went back to the people in the org who threw him under the bus, called him names, slandered him, stole from him and these were so called brothers and sisters!
