  Closest to the truth?

  by punkofnice in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i know many jws that state that the watchtower corporation is the 'closest to the truth'.

  thus they quiet their cognitive dissonance.. i don't have access to a corporation library any more.

  is this a stance that the watchtower corporation has actually claimed?.

  Humans are mammals, that eat meat, and also lay an egg(s) once a month... you just can't see the egg(s) with the naked eye. We don't have duck bills or beaver tails though.

  this will be only the 3rd time he's spoken from the oval office in his seven years so it's probably going to be something pretty big.

  combat troops being sent into syria?

  unilateral movement on gun control?.

  As Bart Ehrman has said, when he teaches his classes, on the first day he asks who are believers? and they all raise their hands and then when he asks who has read the Bible?... not very many hands.
  

  We are all fed interpretations of scripture and maneuvered through the Bible by religions as they cherry pick the scriptures they wish to use for their agenda.

  Religion is a snare and a racket. It is cancer disguised as candy. It is slavery presented as 'works' to control. Faith requires abandonment of logic and reason. It demands you become a liar, that you become intellectually dishonest, and that you accept fantasy and myth as truth and reality.

  As with the Christian Bible, there are many, many different translations of the Qu'ran. Both the Bible and Qu'ran are based on the social system of Patriarchy. And that pretty much says it all.

  Question for Cofty about God and Bible defences

  by slimboyfat in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i thought about sending you a pm but it might make an interesting open discussion.

  i've seen you express the lack of good pro-god ex-witnesses to engage with.

  i don't know about ex-witnesses, but there are a few witnesses who've written on these issues.

  ttdtt said:Defending the flood is like defending leprechauns.

  There is no proof and no evidence - and the reasons it could not be are to obvious and numerous to list.

  This made me chuckle. And to add to this, I would state there is actually quite a bit of evidence that counters the flood myth. A lot of discussion on this board in the past has occurred on the flood topic. It may have been a localized event; it was definitely NOT a global one.

  Changes and why

  by Formerbrother in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  so far these are all the recent changes i know of, please add more if i have missed anything.. 1. all construction projects have either been stopped or reduced.. 2. all bethels are downsizing by at least 20% within one year of the announcement, and almost certainly more in years to come.. 3. remaining belelites will have to make their own food, do their own washing and cleaning.. no more laundry department, no more kitchen and waiters, no more housekeeping!.

  and you still only get 80 per month, but no rent or bills, and food will be provided in the family fridge but you have to prepare it yourself.. as to why, it has been said several times officially its not because of a lack of funds, but how could that possibly be the truth?.
