  Why are there no black angels?

  by snare&racket in

  jw literature is racist as hell.

  jesus looks like an american folk singer, the governing body look like a corrupt version of an enron luncheon.. the jw's literally print different magazines for africa with african pictures, black people instead of white, to make it 'more appealing' to them.... just to be clear that means they think the opposite is true too!.

  ....and then there is the lack of black angels..... .

  Angels are blue like Shiva. And all of them wear red boots. Nobody can prove me wrong about this.

  If (1) conscious observation collapses the wave function, and (2) God sees everything, and (3) we have wave functions everywhere.

  So there is no God.

  There is no such thing as an overlapping generation in the bible. The generations in bible are very very specific: 40 years (Moses and Jesus) or 70, 80 (Psalm).

  It's beyond my logical understanding how someone can swallow such nonsense and fight to death for it... pure madness.

  What kind of people will be attracted (or remain) to this organization from now on ?

  as a former witnesses, i have spoken to tons and tons of christians since my exit.

  some want to convert me to their faith, heal me of what they see as false information in my youth and so on.

  when ever i speak to them, not being a christian now, i have certain things that guide me.

  Is there an official name for this comedic device?

  by Island Man in

  2. humour

  is there an official name for the comedic device where one replaces one word with another word having a similar pronounciation but a different (usually derisive) meaning?.

  for example, some skeptics deride the bible by spelling it "buy-bull".

  same or simliar pronounciation but entirely different meaning.

  by Perry in

  2. bible

  of course we were all shamed for not having enough faith in god's spirit directed organization, the elder arrangement, the f&ds ....blah, blah, blah.. but what else is there?

  .....another organization, faith in jehovah, faith in jesus, faith in the bible?

  what precisely is the primary object of faith for a christian?.

  I think (neo)pentecostalism it's the last breath of organized christianity. Organized religion it's in decline, just local decentralized congregations seems to survive. People will avoid mega centralized religions. Theists will be more and more self service believers (like tec).

  JW's Unanswerable Question & Why Doesn't Everyone Take Them to Task For This?

  by Perry in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the one question that is absolutely unanswerable by jehovah's witnesses that actually understand their own doctrines is this:.

  can you show me even one new testament scripture that shows how a person can get their sins forgiven while outside of the new covenant?.

  most of us are familiar with the one proof scripture that has all the necessary elements tied together into one neat doctrine - matther 26: 27,28:.

  The truth:

  Original Sin: Telomeres with a decaying DNA sequence due to blind evolutionary process

  Saviours: Elizabeth Blackburn and Tetrahymena

  Redemption: Resveratrol and genetic therapy (like Glybera).

  So what types of people actually flourish under the JW regime?

  by Julia Orwell in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i sure as eggs know which types don't:.

  creative types: to do well at a creative industry one must dedicate a lot of time to developing one's talent, and as a jw one simply doesn't have time.

  since writing a story or painting a picture doesn't contribute in any way to prestudy, meetings or fs results it's considered useless anyway.

  lurkers, debaters, haters, lovers, the lost, the found, and the misplaced.

  I think an ex-JW starts to live when indifference comes towards JW issues. And then the JW world becomes just an old culture we share, like we lived on a distant land someday.
