when it comes to God we become very critical.
GB: It appears that the creator (if there is one) gave us an open invitation to be critical, in that we have to use all our wits to pry the secret workings out of creation, that is after all all that we can go by to reflect back on the personality of an originator.
The bible and other earlier works because of their errors, are not factual accounts of what went into creation, given too, that the source of all, energy, can not be destroyed, or made, and is therefore uncreated.
Sticking with evolving science and having a healthy scepticism of inspiration claims should serve you well, after all, there is existence, consciousness. family.

They work directly for Satan
Yeah he said that just 1 0r if the "you" was plural. 2 would not die. wtBtS inc made that millions.*
Wr will not admit it mistakes, except that they regret having printed it.
instaed blame the victims.
the mistake was to stop preaching that stuff.
* Olivia de Havilland just died who was just 2 at the time/ an immortal star, but gone with the wind. wt promises notwithstanding.

If he came " to bear witness to the truth" was the co-creator of all, you would think it would be a priority for him to set things straight, leave that kind of a fact- based legacy.
It would have have been a good time to contradict flat-earthers , like satan, and say: I could not possibly see China, India, you know that. ( to have a mental picture, the 2 would not have to climb an usually high mountain", expanding their horizon.

now today this is of course a non-issue.

the wt has embraced the big bang/old earth etc just not evolution.

in fact the creator book has some decent info.. however i have a good copy of the 1958 paradise book.

Ask Russell or Rutherford about astrophysics
MF: did they not believe that the Pleiades were the likely seat of heavenly rule?

Babylon has fallen...

could you guys believe this über borg 'friend' ?.

he says that babylon has fallen because all of the coronavirus restrictions (and the resultant less revenue) are gonna destroy them symbolically.

so he thinks this are the last, of the last, of the last days.
waton

If I remember right, babylon fell first,(according to wt doctrine then) when the wt directors were release from captivity in Atlanta GA penitentiary.
That wording was later changed to " babylon the great has a fall in 1918.
Sorry wt you were and are wrong Religion as a power is stronger than ever. see Sphia Hagia)

beieve in other galaxies all of the sudden?
HTBWC" sobering thoughts: Why do you think that light that arrives from 13. billion years ago, and has been arriving here for ~ 4.5 billion years, affects the ~50 000 years, that wt bible history covers?
Did wt ever believe that the whole universe, or just the bare, wet Earth was 50 millennia old?

hello, here is a new book called state atheism.

free online, but in french only.

have a nice day!
waton

the author, a former jw argues that there should be no influence in politics by any religion. absolute right of freedom of conscious enshrined. perhaps shunning outlawed?
Ps: Try that in countries where "babylon the great"***that according to wt fell in 1918, is somehow still wielding power in many of the world governments.
*** other than wtBtS inc false religions.

Slave class

do you think there is a group or individuals that have taken the role as slave class and fulfilled the requirement?

think they all failed miserable.
waton

Itonically, The slave class is real!
Yes, It is all the fellow-"publishers" of wt material, that roamed the streets and paths to deliver the stuff containing soon to be redundant wt information aka "good news".
ironically, like in the current BLM compensation debate, in some ways, some of the enslaved workers or offspring were better off than the free.

The whole mess started with Gen. 1:1, because it falsely states that the Earth was created in the beginning.

It is more relevant to follow how science's disciplines bring on new theories, laws, formulas to understand the daily new discoveries, than to
worry about how the bible was created, or the bible story books of the wt BtS. inc.
My take on accelerated expansion? There is a lot of more uncreated energy out there outside the universe (as there was before it) and expanding into that realm, it is no surprise that there is increasingly more energy inside, fuelling the acceleration of expansion.
As we know now: distancing is good for you.
