  Father's day approaching, can we get some respect.

  by James Mixon in

  father's day got its start in unlikely spot.. commentary robert rector.

  moms have been worshipped since time immemorial.

  dad not so much.. to hear tell, the first father's day was held in spokane, wash., in 1910.. the suggestion of a father's day was often met with laughter, but when.

  In our house Mom and Dad were equal: neither of them received a card for Mother's day or Father's day. Mom, a JW, thought it good, Dad had to put up with it. Being a child in a "divided household" was hard, at times unbearable.
  

  My Dad never understood and it is just today that I'm coming to understand myself. Today, I understand that it was just a day for Dads and nothing more. It was not wrong. But it's too late to tell my Dad this. Sorry Dad, I did not mean to hurt you though I know I did.

  Your son, Frank.

  Very Offensive Statement Directed To JW Parents-Watchtower 4/15/2015 Page 11 Paragraph 9

  by JW GoneBad in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  wt is insinuating, worse yet, blaming senior jw parents for there not being more younger brothers reaching out to be ministerial servants and elders.

  page 11 paragraph 9 reads as follows: .

  "elders in affluent lands may face an added challenge: how to motivate baptized brothers in their 20s or 30s to get involved in congregation activities.

  The Watchtower loves stupid. The more I learn about my religion the more I see that "stupid" is/was the order of the day. Some days I feel like jumping off a cliff but for the fact that I love my God and my family!

  All Christians Should Accept EVOLUTION

  by FusionTheism in

  2. beliefs

  it is time for christians to accept evolution, in my opinion.. there are many reasons why i think it is long overdue for all christians to finally accept what science says about evolution.

  below i will show these reasons.. .

  the bible tells people to pay attention to nature to see the glory of god (psalm 19; romans 1:19-20).

  There are some things we know for a certainty. These things will always be true.

  Evolution is one of these things.

  I hope some day to meet and discuss all this stuff in person. Until then I'm your friend, (if you would have me) even though we are at different ends of a spectrum.

  "Reality" is what we understand it to be today is it not? What I mean is, "reality" changes when our perceptions of reality change. So in truth, what we call "reality" today may be disproved tomorrow. Science itself has proven this true.

  Cofty, do you believe "reality", as it is known to man, remains the same throughout time?
  

  As for bashing it no longer matters to me so go right ahead! :)

  Cofty: Sorry Frank but reality cares not a whit about your opinion.

  Cofty, you know what I regret? I regret not coming to know you personally. You have a bald honesty mixed with a kindness about you. I do regret not knowing you personally.

  Perhaps some day. ;)

  "Reality" is what we want to make of it. "Reality" is here today and gone tomorrow.

  Fusion Theism: It is time for Christians to accept evolution, in my opinion.

  I do not believe evolution is the driving force responsible for all the beauty, majesty and genetic order around us.

  That is my opinion and am stating it for the record, without debate.

  Big Logical Problem for New JW Beliefs

  by FusionTheism in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  there is a huge logical problem for the newer jw doctrines and beliefs:.

  watchtower, august 1, 2010, page 22:.

  so although jehovah does not promise that every individual will receive exactly the same opportunity, he does make sure that an opportunity is held out to all honesthearted ones.

  Br. Splane's alice in wonderland world does not require that he make sense. He is not interested in truth so much as in keeping his place in the Organization. Something Jaracz thought was paramount. This is the only real desire of the GB because they are not 100% sure they are of the anointed.

  Is RIDICULE acceptable in online debating?

  by nicolaou in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  this topic was inspired by one of fhn's comments on the 'warzone' thread, so i'll just restate my post there .

  .. "i've been wondering for a while now if ridicule really is an unacceptable feature in debate - it certainly isn't a valid form of argumentation.

  the thing is, some individuals really do come out with the most laughable nonsense and parade it as a serious proposition that merits attention.

  And most here are not using ridicule as a weapon of intolerance either.

  
  

  I agree but that was not the point was it.
