Side ads are hijacking this site!
by WingCommander into jw admin:.
for about a week now, i've noticed that whatever ads you are allowing on this site are basically "hijacking" any attempt to read threads.
well, the side "ad" thing plays video advertisements, but that's not the problem.

Superstitions ,Numbers , and Miracles of the Bible Writers ? Why then & not now.
by smiddy3 indoesn`t the bible with its fascination / significance with numbers indicate that its authors were superstitious and written for the benefit of superstitious people in mind ?.
numbers such as 7 ,10 , 12 , 40 , 144,000 , and the amount of times and applications in scripture , sometimes a multiple of such numbers are used.. coupled with its magical claims of miracles , curing the sick by touch,raising the dead ,curing the blind ,walking on water ,axe heads floating on top of the water ,calming the weather during a storm,curing leprosy ,etc,etc.?.
all of these instances on a limited occurrence of course and only in certain cases.

CAN you remain Human and be a Jehovah's Witness?
by TerryWalstrom intwo ball bearings manufactured at the same time, in the same factory, by rigorous engineering standards, and produced to serve the same function inside a particular machine.. question: are they identical?.
the practical test of identity is separateness which identifies some reason for a rational distinction our mind demands!.
you can replace one ball bearing with any other ball bearing of the same batch.

God, Religion and Semantics
by Onager inthere is a slight possibility of one of my jw relatives coming to have a read of this forum, which has made me really excited and endlessly hopeful, but also worried that they might read some of my angry comments from back in the day and throw their hands up in horror.
i've also been thinking about the book by christopher hitchens "god is not great" recently and i think there are similar defences to be made for both.. there is a topic that i started called jehovah god is not real and there are also comments that i have made where i have said that jehovah god is cruel, stupid or even evil.
i appreciate that this sounds like a personal attack on god, just as hitchens' book "god is not great", sounds like an attack on god, but the truth is that they're not.. the title of hitchen's book: "god is not great" is (deliberately) a negation of the islamic phrase allahu akbar "god is greatest" and my topic on this forum called "jehovah god is not real", was in direct response to another poster's topic "jehovah god is real".

The Kardashian women are double agents for the Patriarchy
by LoveUniHateExams init's absolutely true - jameela jamil said so in a channel 4 interview and guardian columnist frances ryan agrees.. kim kardashian promotes an appetite-suppressant lollipop to all her instagram followers ... because that's what the patriarchy (the male of the species) wants, right?.
kim k has her own ideas about health and beauty, and chooses to push that onto her followers?.
get real you mug.. actually, she's a double agent that seeks to do, not her own will, but the will of the patriarchy that sent her.. yep, god's honest.
