  Marking Talk of Couple

  by Hadriel in

  2. beliefs

  at no time did the elders ever mention apostasy.

  days later after a shepherding call which only covered child abuse handling they are being marked as if they are trying to get their own followers etc.

  so so sad.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ktm7fsqwrw.

  Bringing children into this System of Things.

  by Nihilistic Journey in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  before i left a number of years ago i remember getting bombarded with the message that we shouldn't have children as it wasn't fair to them.

  they would have to grow as conditions got worse during the end.

  is there anything in the literature or was this just through talks.

  Not much is said directly anymore, but certainly implied.

  http://truthhistory.blogspot.com/2016/04/a-review.html.

  the book costs 140.00, but i bought it.

  i agree with dr. de vienne's review.

  Any thought behind your " Avatar"

  by The Rebel in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i think that's the correct phrase?

  anyway when i first came here, that little picture that "the rebel" hides behind, was a self portrait of a very sad man, who simply had too much knowledge.

  now i feel after 7 months here, i should repaint that " avetor" give some happiness to the eyes, and a contented smile to the lips.. in short my " avetor" was a self portrait of a man with too much knowledge.

  Dear Jehova's Witnesses I have a question about your views in evolution.

  by Deimos_Sec in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i have been wondering why your organization cannot accept evolution?

  (when i say "cannot accept" i mean: you see it as anti christian) the reason i'm so curious about this is because by putting this here i hope to get smarter answers than i usually get, and also because you don't seem to put things like quantum theory, string theory, under the "evil scary scientific stuff label", also many religions have accepted evolution as most likely possible, or as something that is ok to believe since god could have used evolution to create mankind, in fact evolution isn't a "religion" and automatically doesn't get you labeled as an atheist, unless you are talking to the wrong person.

  i am by no means trying to make you believe in evolution, i will respect you views, i believe every man has free will, well it kind of says it in the bible.

  JWs believe in creation.

  "In the beginning, God created......"

  How about reading up on it at JW.org to get the real JW story about their beliefs, instead of coming here to disgruntled cyber-land?!

  "from 1955 till present, popular music has declined to the point where it is now consistently "stupid" and homogenous.

  but, here is my question....do you think they will announce on the site that they sold the brooklyn building for $700 million?

  my bet is no!.

  Theists, why does God allow suffering..

  by The Quiet One in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  ..specifically, the suffering of animals.

  you can talk about free will/sin/people choosing to not listen to god etc to explain human suffering being allowed.. but how can you love a god that allows animals, that haven't sinned or chosen to not have anything to do with god, to have their short lives ended in often long, drawn out, painful ways.

  i could list stories i've read that would probably make you feel ill, but i'm not looking to shock anyone or start an emotional debate.

  Death is part of the circle of life. There will always be death in all forms and of all things; nothing is forever.

  When it comes to money, the WTBTS is no different than Christendom. Totally disappointing for sure.

  UN Library again... The "NGO Resource Center"

  by AntiEntropy in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  as we know, there were at least 2 ways to enter the un ngo bldg : 'ground pass' and 'library pass'.

  and the 'ground pass' matters was dealt by many posts in old times.

  basically, the policy of 'library pass' had not been chaged before 9.11 as we read.. however, some pro-jws have been insisting that it was not the un ngo bldg.

  It was never explained or apologized, just like all other inconsistencies. JWs accept blindly any decision from the GB, assuming that they'll be responsible to God for whatever.
