What about new light?
by spectromize ini just wanted to ask a question concerning the expression," new light," whenever the brothers and sisters are talking and when we suddenly see a new point in the watchtower or a new teaching from the society as far as our beliefs such as the change in doctrine like the generation teaching.
is it really accurate to say new light or just plain and simple error ?.
you see i grew up as a catholic and before i became a witness we considered our church and the pope as god's representative.

Why are people 'Bad' ?
by Caliban inas far as i see it, people are bad / evil (call it what you will) because of two possible things:.
1. they are genetically that way.
they are born like that.. 2. the way they have been brought up has made them that way.. either way, the influences are out of their control.

To wait or not to wait?
by Frenchy inokay, this need not necessarily be controversial but i would like some honest opinions on the matter.
from time to time (in last sundays wt lesson for example) i read in the magazines or hear brothers say this in their talks.
(with some variation) arent we grateful that jehovah has waited this long before loosing armageddon on mankind?

Question for this forum???
by spectromize inhow many here still believe the organization is ahead of any other religion as far as teaching truth from the bible despite some of the wrong teachings that we perhaps have???.
i will be the first to answer in saying, i still believe we are ahead of any other religion for the present but it can change.
only time will tell wether the organization wants to adjust to some of their mistaken chronology and teachings.

Dinosaur's & fossils records
by moman ini have been in the "truth" for some yrs., & just can't seem to reconsile the huge fossile record with the society's timetable.
if each creative day waz 7k yrs., that means the dinosaurs only lived on this earth for a few thousand yrs.= (sixth creative day 7k yrs.
to noah's flood).

I still like the old stuff!

i love the old masters like heinlein, norton, asimov, wells, clarke.
i must admit that the little that i have read of the new stuff is mostly incomprehensible to me.
