i've gotten nowhere debating theology with the jws in my life as a result of circular logic.
are you 100% sure of your beliefs?.
have you proven them to yourself?.
"You shouldn't ask questions for which you won't like the answers?"
A fair statement... You'd probably already have a good idea as to what the answers to the questions would be.
I've found topics like these get them to evaluate their own morality. They're the hard questions that they would prefer to not think about.

I've gotten nowhere debating theology with the JWs in my life as a result of circular logic. Lately I've taken a different approach.
----
Are you 100% sure of your beliefs?
Have you proven them to yourself?
Are you willing to bet your very existence on it?
Do you love me?
If a friend was dying of cancer, would you spend their last days with them?
If you could live for a day with me or an eternity without me, which would you choose?
How real is paradise to you?
Do you understand the implications?
Will you remember me in paradise?
If so, will you have any regrets? (Will you miss me?)
What happens if you change your mind?
What is your definition of free will?
Uncomfortable answering any of these questions? Don't worry, you'll have plenty of time to think about it in paradise.
hi guys ,i hope you can help here .i'm currently researching the tower of babel and the reasons for building it in the first place?
could it be that nimrod had information or plans based on a pre-flood building ?
bab+el=gate+god could it be an attempt to rebuild a pre-flood structure that served as the gates to the god's (whether materialised satan+demons) or base of angels on earth ?
i watch porn as much as the next man but recently stumbled on the history of jehovah's witnesses.
i was expecting it to be apostate but sadly it was not.
normally i would just turn it off but now i am hooked.. .
I'd say it's a tie. Finding out about pyramidology early in WT history gave me abit of a stiffy.
unemployment is skyrocketing, the markets are crashing.. a several thousand year long struggle is coming to an epic conclusion.. a new order is on the horizion.. prospects of knowledge, advancement & unity.. unite the chosen ones, speaking the chosen language.. your saviour has brought you this far, imagine what the future will hold.. change the world.. .
the catch?
billions must die.. .
Awen,
Was the biblical flood just a natural disaster, unfortunate for those alive at that time? Or did God execute them? If it's the latter, do you support that decision? Are you able to live with the blood guilt of all those people?
If you can, then you'll make it to paradise. Myself on the other hand, wont be present aslong as unconditional faith in God and his actions (Genocide) is a prerequisite.

Is this scene out of the Watchtower? Or the Third Reich?
i was reading genesis the other day and stumbled across genesis 2: 11, 12.. the garden of eden had just been created and the surrounding areas were being described.. genesis 2.
(10) now there was a river issuing out of e'den to water the garden, and from there it began to be parted at it became, as it were, four heads.
(11) the first one's name is pi'shon; it is the one encircling the entire land of hav'ilah, where there is gold.

Genesis 2
(10) Now there was a river issuing out of E'den to water the garden, and from there it began to be parted at it became, as it were, four heads. (11) The first one's name is Pi'shon; it is the one encircling the entire land of Hav'ilah, where there is gold. (12) And the gold of that land is good. There also are bdellium gum and onyx stone.
I found it interesting that gold was mentioned this early in the bible.
Gold has always represented material wealth and power. It usefulness in bibles times would of been limited to decoration and a store of wealth.
Why was it so notable that not only gold, but 'good' gold was described in Genesis 2? This should of been a time before greed or material wealth had even been conceived of. In my own personal view, I feel the storing of wealth for personal gain has limited our progress as a society. (Income disparity)
I've received a few explanations on this topic from friends, family and elders:
- Moses was describing the area as it was in his time. Material things such as gold, bdellium hum and onyx would make the area notable in that era.
Surely the materialistic nature of people would of been present in Moses day. Wouldn't wealth and materialism have no place so close to the perfection of Adam and Eve?
If he was just relating to common things of his day, do we then have to take the rest of his writings from the perspective of when they were written, not the time period they covered? Perhaps we should reinterpret the bible for the time we are living in, not taking it literally?
- Gold was God's institution and control of an economic system
If this is the case, then God enabled materialism by giving us a tool to make it more efficient. Gold is way easier to stockpile than livestock and produce.
- It doesn't matter that gold was mentioned in Genesis 2, you're over reacting.
Maybe. I'd just like to know why (in my opinion)the cause of wars and famine was mentioned before the Original Sin.
I think my next kingdom hall contribution will be in Gods currency of choice. Storing up riches in heaven, one 1/20oz gold coin at a time.
I'm looking forward to hearing everyones thoughts on this.

let's visit the falcon residence for a dinner-time discussion, shall we?.
mf: mom, why is there such a large variety of animals?.
mom: because jehovah wanted us to enjoy all the different species.. mf: but why was there such a vast and diverse variety of dinosaurs if they were never meant to co-exist with humans?.
