god would not say: “you should not eat from the tree of good and bad, which would make you like me” because through jesus he said: ‘you must become like me by imitating the qualities of sun whose only concern is giving (of light and warmth) which means having no expectation of anything from anybody’ (mathew 5:44-48) .

this also means we should have no human teachers because we can have answer to any questions by ourselves, through inference.

(pro 25:2) how to go about inferring?

What I find ironic about this thread, and the response to it, is that materialist atheists and believers are in the same boat, even if they don’t realise it. They both believe that “humans can get the answers”. Believers get their answers from God and materialists (such Lawrence Krauss) believe science can answer the ultimate question of why there is something rather than nothing.

I would suggest this is rather presumptuous, whether you believe in God or not.

No, Cofty. But it’s not welcome, so I shouldn’t bother.

Why put words Into a child’s mouth to make the point? That’s all. You might find it “pathetic” to have faith, but the person whose image you are using may not.

I find atheists putting words into the mouths of starving children equally distasteful as believers doing the same.

They may be a believer, or maybe not. (In all honesty the vast majority in Africa are believers, that’s just a fact) But whatever their own views are, starving children deserve more dignity.

Considering now after the vote even Abbott now supports legislation for gay marriage, my guess is it will pass easily.

Good result. I'm slightly surprised it wasn't higher in favour, but still strong result. Opinion in the United States and elsewhere is rapidly moved no in favour of gay marriage. Even a majority of Evangelicals and Republicans now support. I wonder what WT will do when opposition to gay marriage is as frowned upon as open racism or sexism.

Is it really possible to disprove the Watchtower?

dear brothers and sisters,.

considering the end is so near at hand we thought it important for to reiterate that it's absolutely impossible to prove god's "one true organisation" wrong.

there is nothing on heaven or earth that could ever be shown to be false or incorrect in our entire .

Yes it depends on your background and perspective how persuasive arguments will be.

I don’t think it’s possible to prove JWs are wrong. It’s not possible to prove they’re right either, of course, until Armageddon comes.
