BART EHRMAN answers my question

by TerryWalstrom in

as a member on bart ehrman's blog, i am able to ask him direct questions.is jehovah in the bible?.

question:.

how firmly grounded in reality is the claim of jehovahs witnesses that the divine name (jehovah) belongs in the new testament?.

People who read and understand the bible tend to be the ones who stop believing in it.

Wife fully awake.

by cappytan in

i learned this past week that my wife is now awake.

i just shared the pbs newshour segment with her with no comment other than something along the lines of, "jw story on pbs.".

she is furious at the arrogance of these men.. thats what happens when you get a momma angry!.

Why does the Almighty need a mediator?

by economy in

god is alike to all of his children, hence cannot elevate one child above all others just because one was brought into existence before others.

(ezekiel 18:4) someone has to be first-born which does not give him any superiority over others!

interestingly, jesus simply dismissed the whole idea of one being placed over the others as pagan.

Witness My Fury

because atheists are always born as atheists and theists are always born as theists, yet their beliefs are their choice, and both the group are happy with their choice.

That's total utter bollocks (along with a lot of what you say). Preconceived ideas much?

POLL: Will You Be Attending The Memorial & If You Are---Why?

i was just invited.

i thanked my old elder friend and he left.

(i'm not going).

Witness My Fury

No I am not going. To go to please family members is a sell out and would serve only to weaken your stance.

Man up and quit.

hi im a 14 year old former catholic trying to find a religion and or faith my parents will drop me off at a service they support me no matter what i was wondering if anyone can prove to me their is a god cause right now im confused!

Witness My Fury

What if their isnt a god hell or heaven devil or soul what if that all is fake?

Then you can lead the rest of your one and only life free from the superstitious nonsense inflicted on mankind since cave dwellers tried to come up with reasons / excuses for what they saw around them with their limited knowledge.

Please help me figure out my dreams

hi everyone, this may be the stupidest post ever.

i am stumped for an answer and would love to hear your opinions, though.

every week or two for the last couple of years, i have a dream--or at least that's what i'm calling it--that consists of me waking up or thinking that i've waked up, and seeing the ceiling of my darkened bedroom filled with algebraic equations.

Witness My Fury

Not sure if you mean you dream you wake and then see the symbols or of you mean you actually awake and see them for a minute or two, but Oliver Sacks is the go to guy on this sort of thing.

You would probably be better off doing it on the current set of cult recruitment propaganda whatever that might be these days....

God's supposedly chosen earthly organization (WTS/JWS) doesn't pronounce or spell god's name correctly !!!

by Finkelstein in

this came up on terry walstrom thread topic recently and i thought it would be good to explore this further.

the jws are quite boisterous and arrogant that they use the proper name of jehovah as the divine name of god.

but a little investigation discovers something quite different.

Witness My Fury

Yesterday in the wake of terrys post on YHWH I casually asked my uber dub mother if she knew where the name Jehovah came from, she refused point blank to engage in any conversation she deemed or sensed as being negative (i.e one that doesnt support the JWs) so we never had that conversation.

"The Truth" sure has a hollow ring to it when it runs away from scrutiny at every occasion me thinks....

KH 1st timer, could use some advice

by rathernotsay in

hey people, .

i am soon going into a kh for the first time and i could use some advice around etiquette etc.

i know next to nothing besides the fundamental beliefs of jws, i personally dont believe in any religion, and that stance isnt ever going to change, however i don't want to come across as rude or disrespectful.

Witness My Fury

Dont go, just don't. Dont start going, dont think about starting going, dont mention anything about you thinking of going to your wife, if you have then make steps to undo that nonsense right now.

As well as being a wastefest, it will look like you are checking up on the men your wife meets and you will look like a possessive fool. so it is lose lose if you go. So dont bother.
