  Perry,

  "To deal with this problem, atheist professors come up with stuff like parallel universes to try and explain away the fine tuning."

  What would you know about quantum physics? As far as "explaining away" the fine tuning this is their explanation:

  You can have a gazillion universes which are not fine tuned such as ours in giving rise to everything including life. Furthermore such fine tuned universes would be in a drastic minority. If our universe were not to be one of the fine tuned ones (by forces that have nothing to do with God) we would not be here discussing it. Another universe would have those features.

  Perry, "Atheists say, "in the beginning, nothing"."

  I corrected that on two previous posts. Cosmologists are now making reference to a Multi-verse. If the Atheist is not aware of that then he needs to do some research. You just cut and paste without truly understanding what either side is saying.

  The video that you put up concerning the Multiverse is probably something that you did not watch. And where are the Cosmologists to give a rebuttal?

  A prospective juror(JW) really ticks of Judge!

  an appellate court has reversed the conviction of a bacliff woman who recorded her boyfriend raping his 14-month-old granddaughter on her cell phone, saying the trial judge tainted the jury by arresting a prospective juror during jury selection.

  alisha marie drake had been sentenced in 2013 to 15 years in prison for using her cell phone to record the act.

  her boyfriend, jason grant, was charged with aggravated sexual assault of a child and possession of child pornography and is awaiting trial.

  I don't see why the judge was insistent on this man being a juror. I would have let him go and go on to the next potential juror.

  "Rick Fenton, a church spokesman, backed up the organization's practices to The Telegraph: "Any one of Jehovah's Witnesses is free to express their feelings and to ask questions," he said. "If a person changes their mind about Bible-based teachings they once held dear, we recognize their right to leave."

  Yes, yet another damn lie by the Bitchtower.

  Doctrinal Spring Cleaning

  loved this term used in a recent thread.. with the wts' realization/declaration that the freddie franz type/antitype mushroom era is over, questions remain for me over 2 remaining, primary teachings (without even mentioning the daniel and revelation ones).. can someone play apologist and explain:.

  1. why can the faithful slave be defended as what the wts explains this verse to be?.

  2. how in the heck can the chariot in ezekiel be explained away as "jehovah's earthly organization?

  Not sure what you're getting at but I'll throw my 2 cents in.

  The complete removal of the type/anti-type doctrine would chop off the legs of their 1914 doctrine (In whatever form) since it was to be a greater secondary fulfillment of the prophecy about Nebuchadnezzar's downfall for '7 years'.

  CAH closing down in upstate NY

  yet another circuit assembly hall is going to be sold off!.

  they've been reducing the amount of congregations assigned to meet there and using the times when it isn't in use to make repairs.

  elders have now been informed that they are selling off the property and buildings and that circuits would be assigned to attend other sites, twice as far, three or four hours away, like montreal.

  The further the Witnesses have to drive to their meetings the less of them will be attending them. Extra gas mileage will deeply cut into the salaries of those who are poor and barely able too pay the rent and eat.

  Gods_Kingdom,

  " A doctor and a preacher are two different people. To preach for Jehovah or to do anything for Jehovah we must give our best."

  Both doctors and preachers are supposed to do their best as respect to their presentation to the public. Implicit in that statement is the belief that your "preacher" is morally superior to doctors. That is not a reflection of the public but rather your interpretation of how the public thinks and views things.

  "We also must be humble enough to follow reasonable instructions from those in oversight over us based on scriptural principles."

  Humble? We defy your Faithless and Indiscrete Slave, their interpretation of the scriptures of the Bible and their demon god.

  "When was the last time you explained God's Kingdom to someone using scriptures to back up your belief?"

  Do you realize that you're on an apostate website?

  Gods_Kingdom,

  "We must take into consideration that Jehovah’s people are under scrutiny by the world. The message of the Kingdom that they are taking to the people is sometimes judged by the appearance of those bringing it."

  My doctor has a beard and I doubt that his patients are leaving him in droves. It is not what the world thinks but rather traditions of men - the Watchtower - that determines things.
