  WT Study 1/10/16 Encouraging Child Baptism And More Nonsense

  by JW_Rogue in

  i've noticed that each wt lesson really only has one or two points they want remembered.

  normally they build up to these by about the third subheading.

  this week's lesson though was different, the main point was insidiously made through an experience in the first paragraph:.

  “But,” she adds, “we also knew that as teenagers our children would face many challenges."

  
  

  
  

  AKA get them baptized before they are teens so if they "play around" they will get dfed and shunned at age 14/15.

  this is what europe is becoming?

  my work colleague in germany sent my this article in an email and it is perhaps one of the most disturbing things i have heard yet.

  i have been hearing about many of these recent homophobic and transphobic hate crimes taking place across europe but this one slipped through the cracks.

  But when did racism and hatred become socially acceptable? Is this the Trump affect? The man says hateful, racist nonsense and his poll numbers continue to rise.

  Your first question is one of the problems. Thankfully Islam/Muslim is not a race, it's a religion and political ideology. While Trump has made some bold statements, some of the so called real bad ones have been taken out of context. I was shocked at some things I heard so looked up the whole story and things were twisted.

  This past year and ongoing 'political correctness' is at it's wits end with many people when problems are continuing to rise and 'political correctness' deems the best solution is to ignore them and allow lies to spread. The longer a lie is spread, repeated, and unchallenged then eventually many will believe the lie is a fact. That is why a certain "culture" not race but "culture" feels they are being attacked and systematically killed by a certain 'race' when all statistics and facts show that to be absolutely not true. But it's been allowed to be said, unchallenged, and now the statistics are showing the exact opposite of what that 'culture' claims is happening and on the rise.

  It would be one thing if every culture, religion, and belief WANTED to intermingle and become a one world culture/accept all and everything and be 'good people'. Unfortunately some cultures and religions do not want that and some of their beliefs cause big problems when mixed with others and ignoring and pretending it doesn't exist is not helping it.

  Why don't people believe Facts?

  by The Rebel in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i have enjoyed some fascinating debates on the forum.

  i have found it interesting when" facts" have been presented to support a viewpoint, yet the " facts" have then been rejected.. what does this mean?.

  well the " truth" is as a dub, i was often presented with " facts" that the organisation was wrong, yet as this information challenged my belief system i convinced myself the " facts" were either completely wrong or misinterpreted, .

  How many so called facts have changed through out history? How many things are presented as facts on this forum that are still not 100% certain nor been observed?

  Is it a fact that the sky is blue and the sun is yellow? Actually no the sky isn't blue and the sun is not yellow.

  Since coming out of the WT org and closed off to politics my whole life, only in the past few years have I learned about politics and what liberal and conservative, etc, mean. I must say I've come to really dislike far left liberals and think they are complete idiots! They are to blame for opening the gates of Europe to let the flow of so called refugees go in unchecked.

  The problem with liberals is that they even though intentions may be good (equality for everybody, help everybody, etc), they are utopian and unrealistic. Let EVERYBODY in, they will be good, all people are good. "Let's not worry about jobs, about who will pay for it, about potential crime, about ISIS sneaking in, everything will be just fine. Let's let EVERYBODY in the worst parts of the world come in then the whole world will be fixed and happy!"

  Meanwhile in German, gangs of the nice refugees gang raping on NYE, the OP posts, in London the Muslim districts trying to force sharia law, rapes and crime majorly increasing in Sweden, entry points in Greece out of control and overrun, and attacks starting such as in France, the train, etc.

  Evolution is a Fact #1 - Protein Functional Redundancy

  by cofty in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i intend for this to be one of a series of bite-sized ops on the evidence for evolution.. introduction to dna genes are sequences of dna made up of words (codons) each of which are three letters (bases) long.

  there are only four letters in the genetic alphabet (acg&t) each word or codon is the recipe for one amino acid.

  there are 20 different amino acids in living organisms.

  Creationism has absolutely nothing going for it all. On the other hand evolution is supported by an overwhelming amount of objective evidence. The information in the OP of this thread should be enough to convince any rational person.

  When man created machines and computers, did he completely reinvent the wheel? In the late 1800's why didn't they just create the iphone as it's shown today? Since computers can be shown to have evolved then that information shows that man didn't make computers but they all evolved on their own and had no human input. With that being said, why do you limit a creator to having to make all life forms distinct with no sharing characteristics or base?

  I predicted a lottery number from a pattern, is the lottery NOT random or is random held to a universal force?

  by EndofMysteries in

  i've studied and observed several lottery patterns.

  this one is now gone so nothing lost by revealing it.

  i had a certain history search and noticed that almost each week the past few months a list of numbers not used recently were being used 1 per week.

  So far based on the answers, none explain how i knew a 1 or 34 would get selected. Out of all possible 69 numbers from a certain date, there was a pool of numbers that eventually were not selected yet, while several were selected a few times. The past few weeks each of the remaining numbers that weren't selected yet were getting finally selected. Last night it was down to two, 1 and 34. Lo and behold 34 is picked.

  Technically both numbers should have had a 1/69 probability of being selected but the fact they hadn't and each week 1 from that small pool of numbers was being selected. 1 is now overdue. I'd be surprised if 1 was drawn next because it's the only 1 left but it will be very soon. I'll have a 1 on one of my draws for the next few ones.

I had a certain history search and noticed that almost each week the past few months a list of numbers not used recently were being used 1 per week. The last 2 numbers were 34 and 1. I KNEW tonight either 34 or 1 would be used. (1 may be used next but since only 1 left that pattern may expire).

  Are the lottery winning numbers truly random? Flipping a coin in the long run you'll have 50/50 heads and tails.

  Did 34 get pulled because it was selected to make the numbers equalize and appear random or did a cosmic force make it because random must eventually have all numbers equal out?

  WT beliefs keep somebody I know from suicide, any suggestions?

  by EndofMysteries in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the religion is like being on a dangerous drug or major abuser of alcohol in which suddenly stopping it will kill them even though remaining on it is also killing them.

  someone i know has poor health, on welfare and very poor, and unable to turn around and change their life.

  they are very depressed and been on care and had several close calls and suicidal thoughts.

They are very depressed and been on care and had several close calls and suicidal thoughts. A big part of their life's situation is due to the lifetime of following the WT and they said what held them back from suicide is loosing their hope and not being forgiven, etc.

  Seems the damage can't be undone and if they really awoke and learned TTATT then reality of their situation may just have them end their life, especially since too late to change anything. What are your thoughts?
