Restrictions
by WildTurkey insomething that always bothered me was society's policy of putting restrictions on people for wrong doing.
folks get reinstated, and full restrictions its like being punished and when you and then punished again how loving.
its just another way the borg uses to control people.

Q & A on Jesus and God. The real TRUTH.
by apostate man in23. if jesus is the first and the last, why did god say in isaiah 44:6 that he was the first and the last?
matthew 1:20 says that the holy ghost was the father, while romans 15:6, ii corinthians 11:31, and ephesians 1:3 say that god was the father.
51. does the bible say that jesus was god with us?

Evolutionary questions.
by sleepy inis the model we have of evolution water tight?.
i have no problem with evolutionary theory ,it describes how we see nature working today , and assumes this carries back down into the distant past , without much interference, but a few things niggle me.. lets take for example the evolution of speech.. it has been said that evolution of speech must have taken a very long time and was very gradual.. a little advance at a time.
first a grunt ,then a cry until we have the oxford dictionary on english words.. so obviously by the time people could talk fluidly like today, they were very different to non-talking creatures to such an extent they we didnt know we they came from them.. but how do we know this ,as speech can leave no evidence?.

Schools call in Ed Psych's for JW children!
by dmouse ini was chatting with my 14 year old son today and he happened to mention that his teacher had recommended he talk with a counsellor.
this was news to me, sounds like an educational psychologist and i was quite disturbed that they had instigated this without contacting us as parents.. however, my son tells me that the counsellor said to him that she has a number of jw children on her books (but didnt give any details issues of confidentiality i guess), and that she was used to handling the sort of problems that jw children have!
apparently my son told her how trapped he felt by the religion, with no possibility of escape until he was older, she said that she was hearing this from other jw children too.. does this mean that my local education authority has identified jw children as possibly needing psychological support?

our speaker from bethel told us that something big is coming from the apostates in the next few weeks, something is afoot.

I don't understand the logic of religion
by Leander inif you ask a jw why does god allow suffering, more than likely you'll get the response that god has allowed satan and mankind to follow their own course to prove that only god has the right to govern over man.
for a long time i accepted that answer as being correct and i never even took the time to really think about what that meant.
now however when i reason on that logic i realize that it does'nt make sense.

Offer to Reconcile
by Amazing inthis will be my last new thread for a while.
i am not leaving, but plan to confine my comments to the threads started by others.
i will finish my jfr-trial series elsewhere, and maybe at some time in the future i will post the balance here.. a plan: over the weekend, i watched the threads bouncing up and down on the active screen, and saw some very good ideas.
