  Freewill - does it really exist?

  by eyeslice in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  paul wrote in romans 7:19;"for what i do is not the good i want to do; no, the evil i do not want to do.

  this i keep on doing.. so is there such a thing as free will, or are we all driven by our nature (our genes), .

  our nurture or both?

  You know, I've yet to meet a JW who can explain this

  by Lady Zombie in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i know that has probably been covered ad infinitum on jwd.

  so...... if jehovah is omnipotent, then there is nothing he can't do and nothing he doesn't know.. and, according to jws (as well as most other religions), god is love.

  therefore he had to have known, even before creating all of creation, what would happen.

  How is the Internet changing us?

  by Narkissos in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  open question: i really don't have any ready answer for that one.... my basic assumption is that mankind has always been different.

  every period and situation of history can be construed as a "system" involving specific political, economical, social and technical conditions and a corresponding set of ideas, or beliefs, allowing for a certain type of self-, community- and world-understanding.

  most random scripture citation EVER

  by veradico in

  1. social
  2. humour

  did you ever notice, particularly in unimportant filler articles, that sometimes the writers of the society's publications cited scriptures which had very little to do with the subject at hand?

  i'm not talking about the misleading use of scriptures, that is, when they would perpetrate amazing feats of eisegesis.

  i'm talking about when they cited scriptures just because they felt like the sentence needed to end with a citation.
