A lot of Odd logic, along with some strong innuendos are used in the WS_E_201604 Magazine. These are my comments for this article. Feel fee to use these at your local congregation.

The article is "Being faithful leads to God's approval"

Paragraph 4 question : "4, 5. (a) What command did Jehovah give the Israelite's when they entered the Promised Land? "

Answer : "At Deut 7:2 We see that Jehovah commanded his Organization to completely destroy, the people who were living in the Promised land. He implored his Governing Body to "Show no mercy", as we know from other scriptures such as Deut 2:34 To completely destroy people includes the full on Murder of Babies,Women,Young Children, and Men.. When God gives the command to Kill he means to Kill Everyone! We see also in Deut 7:16 that he commanded them to Show No pity.

This is relevant for our time today as well.. We as Jehovah's People having replaced the Israelite's for their disobedience, could be asked to Murder all of the Worldly Babies and People in Warwick. Perhaps we will be commanded to not use Guns, or bombs, do we have enough love for Jehovah, to run a Sword through a New Born's belly, slit the mothers throat and stomp the fathers head? This exact command may or may not come, however we should be prepared.'

Paragraph 6 Question : "What worldly inﬂuences exist today, and what must we do?"

Answer - "The Israelite's failed, to follow God's commands to Genocide their enemies. Because of their failure to Act, they were Influenced by the Violent ways of the People that they were supposed to murder. If they would have simply Murdered them ahead of time, they would have removed all Violent Influences, and they could have lived in Peace.. Likewise today we need to make sure we are not viewing Violent movies."

Paragraph 12 Question : "What vow did Jephthah make, and what did this involve?"

Answer - "We are reminded of a very important fact in this paragraph. "Jehovah hates Human Sacrifice". When I studied this paragraph, My heart was touched considering the loving arrangement, it was for Jehovah to Make a Human Sacrifice of his Son Jesus, in order for us as his people today, to have the opportunity for life. Similar to what Jehovah did in Offering his own Son, Jephthah offered the life of one of his family members.. This is truly a Courageous act, to sacrifice someone other than your self. Because of Jephthah's Burnt Offering vow with God, which normally included some form of Sacrificial Death, and burning on a Pile of Sticks, Jephthah's daughter took on the Life of a virgin.. Symbolically sacrificing the lives of all of her would be Unborn children."

Charles Darwin was not an Atheist

by LAWHFol in

personally i have the same viewpoint of darwin, when he said : " the safest conclusion seems to me to be that the whole subject is beyond the scope of man's intellect".

i'm not trying to convince anyone about the existence or non existence of god.. rather, i encourage everyone to keep seeking.

keep searching for the truth that makes the most sense to them.. darwin is the grand father of evolution, and his findings and life work, did not make of him an atheist.

loveuni - Many people assume that Darwin, was an Atheist. I feel that assumptions are harmful, when one is trying to re-create their belief sets.

One assumption that got many of us... "We have the Truth"

Thanks Landy - I think that science is better off (generally speaking), operating as though there is no God.. This likely drives them to much deeper understandings.

freemind - That takes A LOT of self control.. i wish that I would have displayed more self control about my Beliefs, when i came out of the Org.

Especially since most of the things I believed to be true when i came out, have completely changed.

Landy - When you say "god of the gaps"...

Is the meaning of that, when someone cant explain an occurrence or phenomenon, they just say "Must be God"

?

Thank You freemind.

This lesson has been a humbling one for me to learn.

When I first came out of JWorg I was concerned with Deciding on the Truth, and finding the Truth. However now I turn the search internally, and do all that I can to strip away Un-Truth. I hope to do this, until I have No Beliefs left.

That makes sense as well Landy. Similar to what many JW's do.. Continue to keep the peace for the sake of family.

What I like about the above quotes, is that he didn't really take a Dogmatic stance either way.

Interesting Cofty, thanks for the response.

I'll take your comment a step further and say, if 99.9999% of people who have ever lived, did not believe in God. It would make a lot of Difference, for the better. (Wars,Stupid Laws,Prejudice,Cults)

Belief in God in a personal way, and belief in God in a religious way, make a big difference.

A few quotes below taken from - From - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Religious_views_of_Charles_Darwin

"With respect to the theological view of the question; this is always painful to me.— I am bewildered.– I had no intention to write atheistically. But I own that I cannot see, as plainly as others do, & as I [should] wish to do, evidence of design & beneficence on all sides of us. There seems to me too much misery in the world. I cannot persuade myself that a beneficent & omnipotent God would have designedly created the Ichneumonidæ with the express intention of their feeding within the living bodies of caterpillars, or that a cat should play with mice. Not believing this, I see no necessity in the belief that the eye was expressly designed. On the other hand I cannot anyhow be contented to view this wonderful universe & especially the nature of man, & to conclude that everything is the result of brute force. I am inclined to look at everything as resulting from designed laws, with the details, whether good or bad, left to the working out of what we may call chance. Not that this notion at all satisfies me. I feel most deeply that the whole subject is too profound for the human intellect. A dog might as well speculate on the mind of Newton.— Let each man hope & believe what he can."

From Origin of Species :

"Another source of conviction in the existence of God, connected with the reason and not with the feelings, impresses me as having much more weight. This follows from the extreme difficulty or rather impossibility of conceiving this immense and wonderful universe, including man with his capacity of looking far backwards and far into futurity, as the result of blind chance or necessity. When thus reflecting I feel compelled to look to a First Cause having an intelligent mind in some degree analogous to that of man; and I deserve to be called a Theist."

One more quote :

"I may say that the impossibility of conceiving that this grand and wondrous universe, with our conscious selves, arose through chance, seems to me the chief argument for the existence of God; but whether this is an argument of real value, I have never been able to decide. I am aware that if we admit a first cause, the mind still craves to know whence it came from and how it arose. Nor can I overlook the difficulty from the immense amount of suffering through the world. I am, also, induced to defer to a certain extent to the judgment of many able men who have fully believed in God; but here again I see how poor an argument this is. The safest conclusion seems to me to be that the whole subject is beyond the scope of man's intellect; but man can do his duty."
