  Can God Really see the Future?

  by Randomthoughts in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  this is regarding the garden of eden/apple dispute.. if the all knowing, all powerful god sees/knows the future then surely the angels (that he created) should know the god knows the future.. now god knows that humans cannot rule themselves, hence the angels should also know this 'fact'.. why does he need to prove this point to the angels (as is taught by the wt)?.

  do the angels doubt the almighty god or do they have a reason not to trust or believe him?.

  Pixar the production company is jealous of Caleb and Sophia video's

  by life is to short in

  2. beliefs

  so said the co last night.. apparently a jw was on a flight and just happend to sit next to some big wig from pixar and when the man from pixar heard that he was a jw the pixar man just gushed over what great work that the watchtower has done in producing the caleb video's.

  he siad he only wished pixar could do such great work.

  the co said we are able to do it because we have free labor and jehovah behind us.. my husband stayed home from the meeting but wanted to tie in by phone and that is what the co said in his talk.. the co also talked about all the changes that have happened in the last ten years and how if some of the friends did not like it they needed and to quote him "they just needed to get over it" these changes are going to happned period.

  Not willing to meet with Elders? DF?

  by thedepressedsoul in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  if a person says that they are not willing to meet with the elders or does not meet with them, will that get them df'ed?

  there is a rumor about a person who has left the truth (went inactive) about being imoral.

  they do not have the 2 person witness so they can't take actions because of this.

  Athiests: Do you ever wonder... what if?

  i'll start by saying, i'm a ministerial servant who is trapped in the religion.

  my wife is hardcore...but i've slowly been getting her to lighten up, so i'll take it!

  all my friends and family are jw's, and i am employed by a jw (who is actually a great boss).

  Richard Dawkins defends “mild pedophilia,” says it does not cause “lasting harm”

  Without a universal absolute, we have no foundation to say that Pedophilia is or isnt wrong.

  Our abhorrance of paedophilla has strengthened as we understand more about the psychological damage it can cause. In the same way our view of slavery has changed through the centuries as we realised that their is no such thing as an inferior race. This IMO demonstrates the subjectivity of morals and how increased knowledge moves our moral goal posts.

  Incidently neither of the above are condemned by that monstrous book "The Bible".

  BBC Radio 4 reference to 607 Babylonian conquest?

  by 88JM in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  was listening to bbc radio 4 late sunday night, and in a programme about migration, they referenced the "babylonian conquest of jerusalem in 607 b.c.

  " which caught my attention.. did they not mean 587 b.c., or did i understand it wrong?.

  the link to the programme is below - sorry if you're not in the u.k. as you probably won't be able to listen to bbc programmes.

  this is funny and yet so spot on.

  Can an Anointed be Disfellowshipped by the Elders of Earthly Class Now?

  by ProfCNJ in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  hi folks.

  anointed jws have heavenly hope, including the esteemed privilege of reigning as kings and priests with jesus christ.

  while they preach and share practially the same spiritual activities as members of the other sheep (os) do, an anointed jw has a greater distinction.. come now the disfellowshipping standards.
