  BIG LIE IN THE BIBLE!

  by Gill in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  god makes the sun shine and the rain fall on the righteous and the unrighteous!.

  that's what it says in the bible, (paraphrased to more or less).

  matthew 5 :45. so, that being the case, why does he not make it rain in drought stricken areas?.

  There are a number errors being made by Gil. I will only point out the most outstanding ones. The first is that he was lifted the passage out of context. The second is that the poster is taking a general metaphysical statement and attempting to shoehorn it into a specific physical statement. This is also known as equivocating.

  Are you tired of the whole atheist/believer debate?

  by nicolaou in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i'm usually the first one to stir this particular pot but it get's so frustrating to keep coming up against the same old arguments.

  the phrase "banging your head against a brick wall" springs to mind.

  how many times have believers argued for a designer but refused to answer the obvious question of the designer's origin?.

  The main reason that I believe in God is simple. I have not read every book, volume or article in the Library of Congress' collection of nearly 800 million pieces. If I do not posses that sort of knowledge on a finite level, how can I possibly say that God does not exist or that "harder" evidence of His existence does not exist somewhere.

  I got off easy because my father is an Elder

  by Pwned in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i was reading the story of james caputo on his site disfellowshipped.org when i came to the realization that i received favorable treatment because of who my father is.

  i was 17 when i told my father that i didnt want to be a jw anymore because i just didnt really believe in it, i think i said something along the lines of i just don't "feel it" anyways he told me that since i was a minor i would have to keep going to the meetings and that i would have to tell the elders how i felt.

  so a few days later 2 elders who had known me since i was 6 years old came over and talked to me, although they made it clear from the outset that it wasn't a jc.

  JW life can be a bewildering amalgam of positive and negative experiences.

  That is such a profound statement.

  Auld,

  Were you ever referred to as Bro. So-and-so's son? I hated that. It was as if I didn't exist as an individual, just the recreation of my dad.

  Congratulations on getting off easy. You seem to be the rule. I was the exception. I got thrown to the JC twice. Both times by my PO father. It's OK, and I'll tell you why. I respect people that don't use their position to get their family off the hook. Personally, I think parents that do that produce members of society that cannot function in the real world.

  Is David Blaine Possessed?

  that is a question i used to ask myself in my dub days.

  prior to that, i'd always enjoyed magic and stunts, simply for entertainment, and always felt it was just a bunch of bologna.

  then, when i studied the bible, there were the answers, so i thought!

  I think he is creepy looking.....but not as creepy looking as Cris Angel.

  I think Max Maven ( Mentalist) is really creepy looking.

  I bought Mark Wilson's Complete Course in Magic last year. I haven't ;taken the time ;to work with it yet. Any opinion of him? I dont even really know who he is, but this book got good reviews on Amazon.

  He does a very basic course. I think it's a great place to start.
