How to counter a stupid illustration in the Bible Teach Book
by NVR2L8 inthe bible teach book uses the example of a math teacher who is challenged by a student who disagrees on how to resolve a math problem.
the teacher then lets him attempt to prove his point knowing that he can only fail.
the object of the exercise is to show the rest of the students that the teacher is right - that there is only one way to resolve the math problem....this is likened to jehovah letting satan exercise his power over the world so that the entire universe can witness his failure and that only jehovah's ways lead to happiness.... instead of maths, what if the teacher taught chemistry and a student would want to prove that the teacher is wrong when he says that certains chemicals can't be mixed without causing an explosion that would wipeout the school...would any sane, responsible, loving teacher allow such a student to experiment and wipeout the whole class just so the teacher can prove he was right?

Could the Governing Body be the "Evil Slave" of Matt. 24:48-51?
by matt2414 in48 but if ever that evil slave should say in his heart, my master is delaying, 49 and should start to beat his fellow slaves and should eat and drink with the confirmed drunkards, 50 the master of that slave will come on a day that he does not expect and in an hour that he does not know, 51 and will punish him with the greatest severity and will assign him his part with the hypocrites.
there is where [his] weeping and the gnashing of [his] teeth will be.

Gay Jehovah's Witness Victims
by God_Delusion inhowdy guys and gals,.
ben, a fellow jehovah's witness blog.com author, wrote this great article - http://www.jehovahswitnessblog.com/jehovahs-witness-beliefs/gay-jehovahs-witness-victims/.
we would really appreciate it if you could tell us what you think about this subject and also let us know your personal experiences.. it's completely out of order the way this cult deals with homosexuals.

This good news of the kingdom will be preached ...
by biometrics inso some of my jw friends can't answer a lot of the questions i put to them.
invariably they end up with the comback line of "this good news of the kingdom will be preached in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all the nations; and then the end will come.
" and state that jws are the only ones doing the preaching.. i suspect most jws who've left have come across this.

by matt2414 inwhen one becomes filled with the knowledge of the promised earthly paradise under christ's kingdom, one wants to share it with others.
it is good news!acts 5:41, 42.. doing this is an important way of showing that you are a disciple of jesus christ.
in the bible, jesus is called "the faithful and true witness.

What does the Bible really say about abortion?
by matt2414 induring the current election campaigns for president in the united states, women's health care and reproductive rights have been targeted by conservative candidates in an effort to appeal to evangelicals and religious extremists.
keeping in mind that in the u.s. a pregnancy can be legally terminated as long as the embryo or fetus is not considered potentially viable (not able to survive on its own or with artificial aid) outside the womb, what does the bible say about abortion?
are the arguments of jehovah's witnesses and other religious fundamentalists sound in this regard?.
