DId Darwin kill God?

Yes, Darwin killed God. When Darwin visited the Galapagos islands, he didn't notice God and accidentally stepped on him, thus making extinct the only species known as Goddus imperceptus.

What is the Biblical Support for Observers at the Memorial ???

by RubaDub in

i have never gotten a good answer for this questions from any other jw's other than "everyone was of the annointed back in the first century" or "we are showing our respect for the arrangement" or some other nondescript comment.. even the notion that we "celebrate" the memorial is not accurate since the "celebration" part is limited to 8 or 9 thousand people and the 15 million or so that attend are merely observing or watching.. is there some other biblical support for people to observe the celebration ???

in all my life as a jw, i still don't quite understand the significance of it from a biblical persective.. rub a dub .

As a child, I was small for my age, so I often sat on my Bible to better observe the untasted wine and crackers being passed around.

Does that count as biblical support?

To athiests who hate God

by EndofMysteries in

question, if this is true, in the book of enoch chapter 10:11-12, "all the sons of men shall not perish in consequence of every secret, by which the watchers have destroyed, and which they have taught, their offspring.12all the earth has been corrupted by the effects of the teaching of azazyel.

to him therefore ascribe the whole crime.

if that is god's truth, and your only accountable for your own wickedness and actions, would you feel guilty for your accusations against god?

EOM: I'm speaking of those who say they hate God, the bloodthirsty, etc, etc, on top of not believing in him.

One of the most stupid statements I've ever read -- ANYWHERE.

As A JW Who Would You Rather Imitate---Jehovah or Jesus?

by minimus in

witnesses say jesus christ, the son of god, followed his father's example perfectly.

we also must imitate christ as he did his father.

but in reality, do jehovah's witnesses really want to imitate their god, jehovah??.

parakeet

That's like asking, "As a serial murderer, who would you rather imitate -- Jeffrey Dahmer or Ted Bundy?"

This is not one of your better questions, minimus.

HELP ME REPAIR THE WORLD

by Terry in

let's roll up our collective sleeves and repair the world!.

world repair is a central idea of judaism, after all.

you leave this world a little better than how you found it.. most of us spend our lives busy with our own self.

Donating money (even just $5) is as easy as dialing your phone nowadays.

Every month, donate whatever cash you can spare to the cause of your choice.

I donate to parrot rescue shelters. Parrots are extremely intelligent animals that need highly specialized care to remain healthy and happy in captivity. Many parrot owners find they don't have the time, skill, or commitment to do this and have to give up their parrots. The shelters care for the parrots and rehabilitate them if they've developed biting, feather-picking, or screaming problems. Just Google "parrot rescue" and your state, and you'll come up with dozens of sites.

Just a suggestion.

Just write something completely goofy!

so this is inspired by my favorite poet edgar allen john doe!

sometimes we just need to say something completely goofy to relieve tension and have fun.

the pineapple king, with a feather in his hat and a spring in his step, finally helped the chicken cross the road!.

Mythbuster: This book doesn't work. I've tried the "praying" method to get a new Porsche 996 delivered but to no avail.

Myth busted!

A starlit night

immersed in fireflies and enchanting lakeside glows, is worth a monstrous toil through grayed out city lights and cigarette butts scattered round listless strangers scurrying to and fro.
