Did the early Christians teach some "wrong teachings"?
by booker-t ini was talking to my "devout" jw's mom when she called and invited me to the memorial.
i love my mom dearly but i have told her a hundred times that i will not go back to the wt.
she kept on and on about how it is the truth and that jehovah is revealing new things to the jw's because he wants his organization to be as close to perfect as possible.

Can God see the future?
by Adolfius ini've been out a while, but i remember thinking about this as a teenager and being confused, (my mother told me i must be posessed by demons to think such things and so never offered me an explanation).
what do the jws say about it.
if jehovah can see into the future, he would've known what a mess he was going to make of creation so he would've decided against it before he even thought of it.. based on the theory that he went ahead and created everything anyway, that must mean he can't see into the future.. i also seem to remember that god doesn't interfere with man, because we have free will, so all our actions are down to us and in no way "steered" or "influenced" by god.. so how can he make predictions about the future, i.e.

Kings of Isreal and 607/586
by GramblingMan incan someone help me out here, i have been going back and forth with the jw study, regarding 586/607, from reading what has been written here and visiting the library.. i have been able to present what i understand.
now he is saying that the jw also were able to locate the date for the fall of jerusalem based on the kings of isreal.
i serious doubt it, he should me the list of jews kings in the "insight on the scriptures" but could tell me how they arrived at the start date for the 1st king.

The Scientific Reasonableness Of Noah's Ark Demonstrated
by FireNBandits infinally, someone in holland (where floods weigh heavily on the collective subconscious) has built a 1/5 scale model of noah's ark.
this proves that noah built the original ark.
if noah hadn't built the original ark, how could someone build a 1/5 scale model of it?

One of the greatest threats to the sanity of humanity- HISTORICAL MYOPIA
by nvrgnbk inthe world is a huge and somewhat baffling place.
human nature tends to cause us to attach greater significance to the events of our lifetime than reality would dictate.
couple these two facts together and we end up with- historical myopia.. example: about a century and a half ago, there was little or no concern about declining oil reserves.

Questioning Armageddon. How can wife hang onto the Bible? (If she wants to)
by Open mind injehovah wiping out 99.99% of humanity, babies included, is a "problem" or "question" that i think can be very powerful to use with jw family.
especially when presented from a "i just really have a problem with this idea at a gut level" standpoint.. but i haven't used it with my wife (yet) because i see it as a slippery slope that leads to "jesus believed the whole flood story" so i guess we need to throw out the whole bible.
(which, btw, is the very slope i have gone down.
