  Well I do not agree much with his reasoning but I have to give hime somethnig. He has more 'balls' then most JW's have. At least he is answering question asked to him.

  Grissom,

  there is just some things I do not understand. How can you combine the JW belive with science? Since for exaple it is proved (very solid proof) that the flood never happened. How can you go out in the service and tell people i did? I had a public talk not to long ago about this subject and that is not easy to lie to the congregation about the scientific evidence.

  Another question, all teachings are based on 1914. 1914 is based on 607. But there is no evidence of 607. All evidence points to 583 if I remember corerctly. The reason given by the slave for 607 is that calculation back from 1914... That is like a circle. How to explain this point?

  Thanks Danny

  It's about time somebody exposed this so called "theory of Gravity"

  Fairmind,

  It is absolute! Gravity just is. Gravity doesn't trvel anywhere or at any speed (like light does) it just exists and is acted uopon by the mass of each individual thing that exists in the universe. Sounds confusing but do a Google search on the speed of gravity and you'll find that many scientist support the idea that gravity just is.

  I did do a search, and indeed it is very interesting. Although there are a lot of different opinions on it. I have to rad more.

  I was always tought that gravitons (the supose particle that carrier the information) traveled at the speed of light. Just as photons (the carrier also for the electromagnetic force) does.

  If indeed the speed of gravity is faster the the speed of light, it has many implications.

  Well, as far as I understand gravity does not violate the laws of relativity.

  They did an experiment to messure the speed of gravity and it was within 20% of the spped of light.

  Can't buy god idea! What about Aliens?

  by free2beme in

  okay, so i do not believe in jesus.

  yet i do wonder about life on other planets and see that as much more likely.

  well there are species on this planet we have not yet found of insects, etc.

  This is a fun topic.

  I think the probability is that there are other inhabited planets. It is very difficult (read impossible) to give any estimation of the percentage of planets. It can't be do densely populated though, otherwise we would have more efidence.

  That aliens ever visited the earth is very unlickely. In all millions of years there is not any proof.

  Maybe the speed of light is absolute barrier and it is just impossible to travel any faster. Then all alien races can't spreat through space too far. E.g. it would be almost impossible to go to aother galaxy. Like andromeda, more then 2 miljoen years raveling, would not make sence.

  The Atheist's Book of Bible Stories - Ch. 12 - The Flood

  by RunningMan in

  well, i've been waiting for a long time to post this one.

  it's my personal favorite.

  some angels became inflamed with lust for human women and took on human form.

  As a dub I had the view, (not the same as GB) that the flood was actually caused by god to annilate the offspring of the fallen angels and to prevent the 'heavenly' DNA for entering the human gene pool.

  Funny if I think back on it...

  Trying to get people to "support" pioneers!

  by LongHairGal in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  this was one topic that used to make me furious!

  here the bible makes it perfectly clear that back then they supported their own ministry by working.

  there is also the scripture about "counting the cost" implying that one should not undertake any project without making an assessment as to whether or not they could do it.

  About supporting the pioneer, I think a lot of dubs supports them in order to make up for the low number of hours they make themselves.

  The JW's paid clergy class are:

  1)- Pioneers (Special)

  2)- Missionaries

  3)-Circuit Overseers

  4)-District Overseers

  5)-Bethelites (All working in branches throughout the world)

  6)-Worldwide construction work personnel

  Well paid, yes. But not to much. I would consider them more victims than the other way around. Maybe with the exception of CO and DO's. They get a lot of extra in every congregation they visit. The others are not having that much, they are been used as very cheap labour to make higher profits.

  Man, and then to think I wanted to be a missionary or bethelite. I even did MTS. Terrible to think of it.

  That is funny.

  Remembers me of something we did long time ago.

  They have those small pieces of paper above the cards saying voluteer etc.

  In my language that word looks very much like "free and willing". So we changed the card for an elder to "free and willing". he did not notice. Walked half of the day with it, and wondering why people looked at him. Until he finally discovered it...

  official material not appostate

  hello everyone, im in a bit of a dilema here, ive been dating a girl who is studying with the jws, not babtized yet, but wants to just as soon as she is ready to fully dedicate herself.

  anyhow ive tried reasoning with here concerning scripture only to have her say that she doesnt really now but will ask someone (elder).

  so in an attempt to discredit the wtbs i purchased some materials from watchmen on the false dates and doctrine reversals.

  As for the information you are looking for, its doubful the KH will have it if its old or has "old" light in it.

  I notices that many jw's seen to have a fetisch for those older books. (they do not read them, they just keep them. It is like something almost holy for them. They have them.

  They wouldnt allow you access to it and if your GF asks they will become very suspicious.

  This is indeed a biger problem. Try to find an oldtimer with a lot of books.
