Spirit-Directed Organization
by UnDisfellowshipped inthis is what the watchtower society claims (i can post quotes if anyone wants them):
* jehovah does not directly communicate with anyone today.
* jehovah is using the watchtower society and the faithful and discreet slave class as his only "channel of communication".

Is God able to help everybody all the time?
by Gopher inlet's assume that there is a creator of life who gots things started eons ago.
that's my persuasion, although i am not actively religious.. one major problem with belief in a creator is that he/she/it is supposed to be benevolent, loving and caring.
many evangelical christians feel he has helped them personally in various ways, emotionally, even financially.

Why TYPE B prophecies make no sense to me
by Pole inlet's say there are two types of prophecies :) .
type a: god says: everything's gonna be allright.
these are irrelevant to my point here.. type b: god says: a certain man will commit a certain sin (on a certain date) and i will have to put him to death because he will choose to sin.. 1) the latter type of prophecies presuppose that the future can be predicted.. 2) now, if the future is predictable then it's predestined.

Guess who is being spoken about.
by Maverick inthis information is taken from my daughters college philosophy text book, "the story of philosophy" by bryan magee; .
(this group) tended to regard their beliefs not just as personal opinions but as scientific knowledge, and therefore as "known" with absolute certainty.
this gave them enormous confidence and made them famously intolerant of all alternative views and opinions; and whenever they got into power they forbade the publication or teaching of any ideas that were incompatible with theirs.

Bible research can be dangerous - an analogy from the area of UFO studies.
by Pole ini've found an extremely interesting article about researchers falling prey to paranoia.
i know, i know, there's 10 pages of it.
but i think this analogy works for some bible researchers too.
