Lack of open-mindedness

a lot of religious folks can have an open-minded discussion about their beliefs without getting defensive.

some can actually consider things from another point of view and point out the validity in the other person's point.

obviously, a lot of jws may just be scared to think/speak in a semi-detrimental way about their religion.

Are you a Christian Who Accepts Evolution?
by cofty in

if you identify as a christian but you have accepted that the diversity of life - including humans - resulted from a process of biological evolution could you add your name please?.

just to be clear i am referring to the fact that our physical lineage could literally be traced back all the way to non-human species.. if you like maybe you could comment on why you see not conflict between evolution and your christian faith.. there is a tendency to conflate evolution with atheism.

it would be good to show that this is not the case..

i haven't posted in forever and a day, but i feel like this is a great place to ask this question because of so many people who are unsure of their beliefs.

my mom was diagnosed with stage four breast cancer about four years ago.

How Do They Still Preach & Teach The "End" Is Right Around The Corner And Never Get Embarrassed?

from from the very beginning, the watchtower has been wrong about every prophecy regarding "the time of the end".

they still continue to spout false information.. go out and preach before it is too late!

The 7/14 APOSTATE study articles are preparing the rank and file for new light!
by ADJUSTMENTS in
1. watchtower
2. bible
i believe the last two wt studies in the 7/14 wt study articles were planned for this exact time and did not come about by happenstance... the jw cult is preparing the rank and file for some faith altering "new light" to be announced fairly soon, and these scare tactics will do just the trick.... the articles are preparing the rank and file to become apostataphobic, they have the rank and file in such a frenzy, even have them questioning themselves and their own motives for being in the borg!.

with paragraphs like:.

if you hear someone that has doubts or questions about the borg avoid them like the plague, and tell your local elders, but don't judge them!!!.
