  Elder father sent me an email about Feb 2012 WT - my resposne

  by TheStumbler in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i'm not sure if any of you will remember but i posted on here six months ago about a correspondence i was having with my dad, an elder, about who would die in armageddon.

  i was asking some tough questions about children being killed in armageddon and i could tell he uncomfortable with the answers he was giving.. i drafted an email in resposne to his email but in the end i decided not to send it in the interest of maintaining friendly relations.. .

  last week, out of the blue, my dad sent an email link to the february 2012 watchtower article about armageddon and said it would answer some of my questions.. here is my response which is a critique of the feb 2012 wt article and some of the broader ethics concerning 'armageddon'.

  OVER ONE MILLION GREEKS ON THE STREETS PROTESTING TODAY...

  by JustHuman14 in

  1. social
  2. current

  more than one million people are out in the streets today in athens, greece, protesting against the new financial measures that the government is trying to pass.. the building of the greek parliament is blocked by protesters.

  situation started to get bad, since the police had a clash with a group of "anarchist".

  i guess we are all anarchists in greece, since we are looking for a better future for us and our children.. the corrupted governments that ruled this country from 1974, when dictatorship ended, have lead to poverty 11 million greeks.

  Are You The Type Of Person That Really "Loves" People On This Site?

  by minimus in

  i know some here seem to truly be interested in everyone's welfare.

  they seem to be really troubled/happy by another poster's health, life, children, job, sex life, worries, anxieties---you name it, they're very involved in "caring" about people that they hardly know.. i have forged some friendships, i've met some great people on this site.

  i've communicated with many nice people here.

  How big is a demon?

  by Terry in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  things which exist are real enough.

  we can measure them.

  they are just this big and no bigger or smaller.. they are here and not there.. imaginary things have the luxury of being any size.

  Judas and Unforgivable Sin

  by corpusdei in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i'll be the first to admit that i haven't done the research on this one, and i can't remember the answer from my jw days - but there's something bothering me about the scenario of judas and his betrayal of jesus.. considering that the betrayal of jesus by judas was foretold in prophecy, it was essentially set in stone.

  it was going to happen, it was an absolute because divine prophecy is correct.

  judas had to betray jesus in order to fulfil prophecy.. now, i've always personally believed that a person does not sin by an act that they cannot avoid, but this seems like kind of the motherload of standing on the traintracks.

  2. beliefs

  the great doxology .

  the great doxology is an ancient hymn of praise to the trinity which is chanted or read daily in the eastern orthodox and greek-catholic churches.. .

  the hymn is based on luke 2:14 in which the angelic host appears to the shepherds and announces to them the nativity of christ.

  Do You Think It Is Wrong To Stereotype?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i know we are supposed to be politically correct but i don't always feel that this is warranted.. i do think that certain things might be generally true and could be viewed as stereotyping.

  for example, if i see a young person driving a car very slowly, i might think that they are texting and driving (or else are asian).

  now that might not have sounded proper, but i do think it's generally true, from my experience driving in the city.. if i see a "butchy" looking woman, i generally assume the woman is gay.
