illegal immigrants are statistically more unlikely to commit crimes than native born Americans.
Nonsense. They are committing a crime by being here.

Jephthah's Daughter
by cantleave ini have read somewhere that jephthah's daughter did not really go into temple service but was a victim of ritual sacrifice.
the bible says that after weeping over her virginity that the maidens would visit her annually.
how could they visit her if she was killed?.

God sacrificed himself:
“feed the church of God which he purchased with his own blood”. - Acts 20:28
Jesus, the man, said that no one takes his life, he gives it up because of his own volition.
Lots of people have given their life to save others.
Like a good dad, God put this burden on himself.

Is anyone watching The Handmaid’s Tale on Hulu?
by Biahi inafter finishing season 6, episode 5, it occurred to me that, if the jws were right, (they’re not), the “new system” would end up being very much like this.
picture the commanders as the elders.. it’s a riveting series.
i wanted to see it, because i read the book when it first came out.

@hereiam60
Our brains are supercomputers and are estimated to perform up to to 10^28 floating point operations per second (FLOPS). That count is equal to roughly half of all atoms in the known universe. Our brains are highly efficient compared to supercomputers, which require significantly more power to achieve similar performance levels, which in turn require an elaborate infrastructure of electricity generation.
Our brains do all this with just 3 lbs. of meat. We have a 3lb. meat computer that quickly becomes goo after we die, but not so with your soul/spirit.I think perhaps some atheists, feeling unable to rest their hope on anything because they fear it will lead to disappointment and sadness, somehow resent seeing feelings of hope and assurance, religiously based, in others and so, want to fight or push against it...
Perhaps. Or, maye they feel threatened by the prospect of being conscious forever apart from God and it requires a lot of effort to suppress what God's Word says. .
Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God Who gave it (Ecclesiastes 12:7).
Who knoweth the spirit of man that goeth upward? (Ecclesiastes 3:21).
As Stephen’s body went to its death, earth was receding but Heaven’s gate approaching. He knew that he was entering into another sphere of the living. He prayed: “Lord Jesus, receive my spirit” (Acts 7:59). This disciple of Christ did not seek to postpone death or to fight it off. His murderers held no fear for him. He remembered the words of Jesus: “Be not afraid of them that kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do”
In Christ’s account of the rich man and Lazarus we have the matter summed up and settled that the soul is conscious after death. Both men died and were buried. Though their bodies were in the graves, each of them was alive and conscious. The rich man in Hell could see, hear, speak, and feel (Luke 16:19-31).
By far the formost docrtine of Watchtower is the rejection of the new covenant "for the forgiveness of sins" Jesus offered to "whosoever" at Mt. 26: 27-28. Probably equal to this heresy is the teaching that consciousness ceases when your body expires. This teaching removes healthy curiosity (and gravity) about where a person might want to spend eternity. Without that, the self-resurrection and offers of safe passage that Jesus presented are almost meaningless.
Also, both JW's and atheists do not believe that there will be a judgment after death.
it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment: - Hebres 9: 27
The word of God says that Jesus Christ will judge every person who has ever lived (Acts 10:42).
Believers will be judged by Jesus where they will fully understand the entirety of His extravagant grace while fully grasping the depth of their depravity.
1 Corinthians 4:5, Paul writes of Jesus disclosing the hidden motives in believers’ hearts. In other words, peoples' supression of reality will replace convenient fantasies.
Jesus will expose the true nature of a believer’s heart to him or her.
But I tell you that everyone will have to give account on the day of judgment for every empty word they have spoken. For by your words you will be acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned.” Matthew 12:36-37
I think this is likely what is driving atheist and JW polemics against Christians.

I would ask respectfully, "but then why don't people just send themselves to heaven earlier?"
@Blondie
Because you wont have a physical body in heaven until the resurrection (at the Rapture). Members of God's family who die will be disembodied spirits/souls, awating the resurrection of the body. Being in the presence of the almighty and previously deceased loved ones in a place of pure love and peace is a wonderful alternative to separation from God and all good things he made. But, people would nonetheless like to get back into their bodies as soon as possible.Phil. 3: 21 - Who will transform our lowly body to be like his glorious body, by the power that enables him even to subject all things to himself.
Also, some people don't think that their work here on earth is done yet. Perhaps they have children they are still mentoring and helping.

Watched about 20 minutes of the first episode before turning it off. Depressing. The religious figure (a combination of a woman Nazi officer and Catholic nun-like figure) took out a electric shock stick and shocked a girl in the neck with it during class.
Not into human suffering entertainment. It looked like a total atheist hit-job propaganda piece. Seen it all before.
The Soviets established an Anti Religion Commission in 1922, which advocated and enforced the suppression and elimination of religious beliefs. During their first years, the Bolsheviks executed 1,300 Russian Orthodox priests and killed an estimated 15-20 million Christians.
What do you all think drives atheists to attack people of faith, especially Christians?

in decades such as the 360s (when the Trinity doctrine took shape)
@SBF
This Watchtower doctrine has been refutted over and over and over on this forumn. Why do you continue to say something that you have repeatedly been proven wrong on?

@Duran
The scriptures I cited provide more than enough evidence to answer your questions. Why did you not comment on any of them?
Putting aside for a moment that all you said is nonsense, I want to at least engage in your reasoning.
Probably close to 90 % of my post were just scripture citations. All nonsense?
I can see why you would want to characterize the bible as nonsense and approach this topic with WT reasoning, because it threatens your hope of nothingness and unconsciousness when you die.Imagine being conscious for eternity, alone, abandoned, forgotten forever, and ever and ever and ever. It is this reality that is driving your supression and probably full on repression of the word of God in regards to your tripartite nature.
