Is Atheism/Evolutionism Dangerous? Questions for Unbelievers
by Perry indoes the belief that there is no all-loving diety in which to be accountable to make it easier or harder to treat and judge others they way that you want to be treated and judged?.
since evolution supposes that life and ultimately man who is at the top of the chain got here through a process of the fittest dominating and killing off the weaker, and since most modern evolutionists in democracies no longer think that this is good to practice, how do you deal with the fact that you are a living contradiction of your own belief since you pronounce the same thing both good and bad?

JWsDon't Read Your Bible! (Hymenaeus and Philetus)
by AuldSoul injws are clearly instructed to avoid all apostate literature and thinking.. 2 timothy 2:17, 18 and their word will eat as doth a canker: of whom is hymenaeus and philetus; who concerning the truth have erred, saying that the resurrection is past already; and overthrow the faith of some.. if jehovah's witnesses adhere strictly to their instructions from the governing body they must avoid reading these verses.
how can such avoidance be necessary for christians if paul wrote down apostate teachings in a letter to timothy?.
respectfully,.

Question for Former/Current Elders.....
by Lumptard ini recently received a phone call from an elder about an alegation that one of my ex-girlfriends brought up to the elders in her cong (the thing that she told the elders about was supposed to have happened 5 years ago when we were still together).
he told me what she had said about me and i said "o.k.
" in order to not confirm or deny that it was true.

Is Faith Dangerous? A Question for Believers...
by AllTimeJeff ini hope this will be as respectful a debate as possible.
here is the premise: many of us (most) seem to be ex jw's on this board.
that means, whatever your motivation, for a time you bought into the theology of jw to one degree or another.

When we quote from the bible to prove a point do we have any right?
by Qcmbr inone thing you'll see me and many others do is the good old bible bash with scriptures flying around.
i cannot move away from the idea however, that when we cannot agree on the interpretation of scripture how can we possibly claim our understanding is superior to anothers?
yet upon such topics hangs the supposed destination of one's soul.

Can JW's value life when they OPPOSE abortion but BAN blood transfusions?
by truthseeker insomeone needs to get the word out that the only reason blood was banned was to incite persecution against jehovah's witnesses.
after the end of world war ii did not bring armageddon.
the book four presidents of the watchtower society says that individuals were considering banning blood transfusions but that rutherford was against it.. jehovah's witnesses say that abortion is wrong, that even if life is just a few cells, it's worth protecting and would be murder if someone aborted it yet.
