  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?.

  Definitely. Near sized shoes will cripple any horse.

  "Most women would prefer to be stay at home housewives. Women's lib did alot of damage to women!"

  by purrpurr in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the above is a quote from a jw female relative.

  this was in response to a discussion about the suffragette movement ( and the movie about it that's currently in cinemas).

  she seemed to think that it would be so much better if women were just daughters/ wives/ mothers and didn't go out to work and have career's?

  What a load of rubbish, Jesus did use the divine name man many times. for example he said it is Jehovah your God you must worship and him alone,

  'Jehovah' is unpronouncable in Hebrew.

  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.

  Obama to speak from the Oval Office tonight (8:00 eastern)

  by Coded Logic in

  1. social
  2. current

  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.
