ok. i've just read this in the march 2006 - i reckon its an out and out lie and i challenge anyone to find a school where this is happening.. this is in the young people ask section:.
'how can i say no to sex at school?'.
"every day, kids are talking about sex.
there is one group of people that do listen when they are counseled on matters of morality,can you guess which
Santa & his elves? Snow White and the 7 Vertically-challenged carpenters?
ezra: you left your pants down, hon.......
Could you perhaps make it just a bit more challenging for us to kick your cute little ol' ass? Otherwise we will get bored with you (and PBJ) and become cranky whiny-butts.......unlike how we are the rest of the time.
just wondered as im prob about to give up so much, coz i dont think it is the truth but its come as such a shock!.
my family believe it so much, my dad feels he can answer any question i have, and being brought up in it sometimes it scares me.
coz my family believe it so much, .
Nope, nada, never!
Your dad is probably pretty well-versed in responding to anticipated questions - you should ask him to read Crisis of Conscience and answer some of the issues raised by Ray Franz.
However, just because he can some up with some contrived, convoluted answers, doesn't mean you have to be satisfied with them. Then it can devolve into a plain old argument - wouldn't Jesus be proud to have people twisting each others arms over the good news of his kingdom?
You can always point out the lack of genuine love in the organization as proof enough.
jesus spoke to jehovah god in prayer.jehovah being the allmighty god.the nt is centered around jesus.thats true but this does not mean jesus is the one we should worship.surley we should all want to pray to the god jesus prayed two
What did any of that have to do with the subject of the post? There are plenty of threads discussing the alleged contradictions of scripture. Your collection there has been answered over and over again, ad nauseum by apologists who look beyond the surface trolling skeptic.
Shining One: It seems appropriate to me in any hair-splitting discussion of biblical quotations to occasionally point out that the Bible is full of contradictions and inaccuracies. With all due respect..............

BIBLICAL CONTRADICTIONSby William EdelenJune 13, 2004 | |

Two weeks ago I asked this question: "How, in the year 2004, can people still believe that the bible is 'reliable', 'infallible' and without 'contradictions'"? Questions have come to me asking "what contradictions?" To go through the thousands of contradictions in the Old and New Testament would take more space than is available in this entire newspaper. So, only a few to get your brain working. Which of the following contradictions is the one "without error", "infallible"? It cannot be both. At what time in the morning did the women visit the tomb? At the rising of the sun (Mark 16:2) or when it was yet dark (John 20:l). Was the tomb open or closed when they arrived? Open (Luke 24:2).Closed (Matt. 28:l). Who came? Mary Magdalene alone (John 20:1) or Mary Magdalene and the other Mary (Matt. 28:1) or Magdalene, Mary the mother of James and Salome (Mark 16:1), or Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of James and other women (Luke 24:10). Did Mary Magdalene know Jesus when he first appeared to her? Yes, she did (Matt: 28:9), or No, she did not. (John 20:14). The "Annunciation" took place after Mary was pregnant (Matt 1:18-21) or the "Annunciation" took place before Mary was pregnant (Luke 1: 26-31) Jesus was born during the reign of Herod, who died 4 b.c. (Matt 2:1), or Jesus was born at the time of Quirinius, in 6 a.d. (Luke 2;2). Jesus was crucified when it was the third hour (Mark 15:25) or it could not have been the third hour since he was still before Pilate (John 19:14) At the hearing before Pilate, Jesus answered no charges (Matt 27:14) or Jesus responds directly to all of Pilates questions (John 18:33-37)? The mass of contradictions are comical. Believers are told in Mark 16-17 that they can "drink any deadly thing and it shall not hurt them". For those wanting to 'prove' the "reliable bible without error" try a little arsenic and see how "reliable" it is. Or you might try playing with a few rattlesnakes to test the "without error" bible. The Old Testament is such a mass of contradictions it would take 500 pages to document them all. Which of the two creation myths is the one without error? Genesis 1:27, man being created last in the sequence, or Genesis 2:7 with man created first in the sequence. It cant be both, so flip a coin. In this day of biblical scholarship anyone who still thinks the bible is "infallible"... or "reliable" or "without error" should change what they are drinking or smoking. They are living a full bubble off plumb. # |
I agree with this gentleman - the Bible is just a book. BB
well as most of you know, amanda and i separated early last month.
it has been for the better, as amanda and i have had a troubled marriage from day one.
i havent heard from her in a week, she is living with her mom and stepdad in maynardville tennessee, just northeast of knoxville.
Keep up the good fight, and lets all take comfort in knowing that one day the WT Society is gonna come tumbling to the ground.
Amen and Halleleujah, Brother Dave! Thanks for your 666th post!
the story is beyond excellent.
every line is so well crafted and the story, published in the new yorker magazine in 1997, is much more than two young men falling in love.
one of the major themes of the movie is fear.
Uhhhh......they both assume the position?
.
can someone direct me to scriptures in the bible that show that adam and eve will not be ressurrected.
i ask because my wife, who is a jw insists that this is bible base, yet she cannot provide me any scriptures.
.
i don't read it anymore.. i figure that i know enough of it, without having to go back and read it again.
well that figures you stopped reading your bible and look what happened lokkat yourself ,youve become a wildbeast.
You just can't argue with well-reasoned observations like that! Bizzy Bee (of the wildbeast class)
