The Triune Polytheism; the 'Trinity'

by the-Question in

the most ridiculous of all dogmas anywhere in the universe is the very foundation of churchianity.....thus, all their other claims are just blah, blah!.

.

If turned off by the GB's latest bloopers- do you still have faith in God and Christ?

by the-Question in

some go back to churchianity!.

and that, to me, indicates they never had real faith in god- but it was in men.....

the New World Translation, which USED to be the most accurate translation there is

..really? I beg to differ.

Not all churches teach God is "three in one"

Not all churches teach that the soul is immortal

The God of the bible is Sadist regardless of whether you go to church or not

The bible is not clear regarding what judgement there is beyond death, but it does speak of it

Not all churches teach that the earth will be destroyed

Not all churches teach Jesus was alive those 3 days

The bible teaches to obey Governments

A question for those who still go to the meetings

by no-zombie in

and it is ... why do most at the hall prefer to sit at the back and leave front rows empty?.

Sanchy

even most of the elders don't want to be at the meetings. Most of them find an excuse to get up several times in the span of 2 hours

So true. I for one thought the best part of being elder was that there was always reason to get up and do something during meeting. Made time go by so much faster.

The Results Are In: On average, for the past 90 years, 1/3 of the world has been banned

by ILoveTTATT2 in

so using some amazing features of excel and the starting data here, i managed to get the average, the maximum, and the minimum percentage of the inhabited landmass of the earth where jehovah's witnesses have been either active (reported) or "not banned".the average is 66.10%!!

that means that for 90 years, ever since there is data, 1/3 of the world's area has not been preached in or been fully able to preach in!the minimum occurred in 1943, when only 26.77% of the world's inhabited area made a full yearly report and/or wasn't banned.the maximum occurred in 1991 because the yearbook said that the ussr was included.

the maximum was 82.47%.

Nice chart Ilovettatt. Given that these areas where the "kingdom message" hasn't been preached in tend to be densely populated, I wonder how many millions, if not billions of people are missing out on these "good news".

Women's March on Washington

by azor in

jw
friends

my support is with the marchers in washington and around the country today.

i was raised through my formative years by my mother and sister while my father was out of the picture.

they gave me the compassion i have today.

Sanchy

These folks protest and march, yet really I see no clear direction nor objective, as was the case with the occupy movement. For the most part I just see angry folks venting, throwing their fists up, and claiming victim status. On the opposite side of the political spectrum, shortly after Obama's rise, the tea party organized itself to win political victories nationwide in local, state and federal seats and policy.

Dose Wt really have that much cash.

by joe134cd in

i realize that wt has got a wind fall of cash through various means.

so my question is in the greater scheme of things is it really that much.

for example let's say with all their real estate and cash on hand they are worth about $20 billion dollars.

Why the resurrection must be true

by slimboyfat in

okay i was thinking about it.

and it is a transhumanist argument and nothing new, i do realise that before anyone points it out.

but it struck me afresh today that the resurrection must happen.. firstly, to state the obvious, a rational materialist conception of reality seems to exclude resurrection.

Sanchy

The phraseology "require more energy than exists in the universe" seems to imply that once energy has been used to accomplish a function it is thereafter lost. But that is not how it works as I understand it.

Well I was thinking more in line of one needing at least a few atoms within a storage system just to map the location of a separate single atom. Now multiply that by all the atoms in the universe times every fraction of a second in time and you'd quickly run out of storage space, or energy, since you'd need more than exists in the entire universe.

That is of course unless the existence of the universe as a whole was procedural and could be described mathematically with formulas that describe where all elementary particles were, are and will be.

Wouldn't it be the case that mapping the location and state of every atom that has ever existed require more energy than exists in the universe itself?
