  Today's groundless speculation thread - so why would a German copilot deliberately fly an airplane into a mountain?

  just can't wrap my head around this.

  the guy (a) evidently did all of this on purpose, and (b) evidently had no reason at all to do so.. there is a huge chunk of the puzzle missing from this one (so far)..

  He had a reason in his own mind at that set of moments, but there is no excuse for killing all aboard for any reason, go kill yourself on your own time, no need to be a prick and kill everyone around you too is there.

  As there doesnt seem to be any islamic conversion angle so far then I reckon it was something stupid like he didnt get on with the pilot and there was some final straw that made him snap and all the way into the ground the pilot failed in some maddening sense to say or do the "right " thing to make him stop.

  That is just a guess, although it is more odd that he didnt seem to say a word all the way down, which i think he would have done if he was angry at the pilot, so maybe scratch that idea and plumb for some kind of psychotic break.

  I guess they will figure out a likely reason soon enough.

  Oh Damn...I have been sprung!

  i knew it could happen one day...yet i was so careful..... sitting at the sound cabinet, i had our awesome forum open on my tablet, and didn't see the microphone brother looking over at me...... he wandered over and asked me "whats that site?".

  i quickly responded "oh, i googled to get to our jw.org site, and this must have popped up" while quickly closing it.... he didn't look too fussed, but my heart was beating..... he is pretty chilled out and certainly not an "uber-dub"...but this was a wake up call to be more careful...i am fading fast, but don't want anymore attention from the nazi-elders while doing so!.

  be careful all!

  As long he didnt see porn then i wouldnt worry about it, he cant read anything apart from large font stuff at 4 feet anyway.

  Him saying brother SIAR2 was on a worldly website during the meeting just makes him out to be a petty brown noser to any reasonable elder.

  Yes, as Pete Zahut said, the face is the same, bad angle, weight gain, stress, clothing choices, makeup etc etc.

  A meeting about a meeting. Have to fill in time somehow.
  What do expect to do for half an hour, read the Bible?

  If only. Many more would wake up and quit if they did actually study the bible.

  SOT I go where the evidence leads, it leads plainly and easily to atheism. I considered myself agnostic for about a year, but continued research soon put an end to that.

  People like me dont willingly become an atheist just because the watchtower is a cult, you are making a school boy error in thinking so or else the programming of the watchtower is still working in making you think all atheists are bitter twisted apostates. It's early days for you on your journey so you will be making these mistakes so all is forgiven.

  I gave the bible every chance to prove itself when i left the JWs 5 years ago, i read and read and read the bible and everything about it i could lay my hands on, it failed, it still fails and will continue to fail. Anyone who doesnt think it fails hasnt given it the chance to do so and is not being honest with themselves.

  After being lied to all my life as i too was a born in i made the single honest choice that i would double check everything and not be lied to anymore, i chose an evidence based life. That means not choosing to believe something because it feels good or gives the warm and fuzzies, but because it is based on damn good evidence however unsettling the result may be. I wanted there to be a god, i wanted the bible to be true and mainly if i am honest so that my whole life up to that point hadnt been wasted stuck in a cult believing in fairy tales. It was painful to follow the path of evidence straight to atheism, it was not what i wanted but was the truth.

  Those who continue to cling to believe in god simply havent done enough honest research.

  by TerryWalstrom in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  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.

  Why does the Almighty need a mediator?

  by economy in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  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.

  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?
