  JWs have more good points than bad

  by lsw1961 in

  1) many who were on the destructive path have been transformed by their teachings (this includes me who was once vicious, and presumptuous and atheistic).

  2) equal monthly pay to all members of the bethel community regardless of whether they are bc members or sweepers.

  this is something that still remains as an unattainable dream for the world.

  Nothing special there.. any cult can achieve similar.

  Jail does the same thing for many..

  Hmm nice try but..

  1 Corinthians 5:6:

  'Your boasting is not good. Don't you know that a little yeast leavens the whole batch of dough?'

  Their own Bible condemns them and the OP's statement.

  a us judge is considering whether it is constitutional to have a law that protects the clergy of just one religious denomination from disclosing what is said to them in confession.

  (including what's said in judicial confessions by peodophiles.

  No more Golden Handshakes, back handers, generous cheques, free dinners and iWatches for them then I guess..

  Not to worry.. there's always toilet scrubbing and window cleaning to fall back on.

  The world's oldest-known living cancer dates back 11,000 years, according to UK scientists.

  It arose in a single dog and has survived in canines ever since, with the cancer cells passing between animals when they mate.

  A team led by the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute near Cambridge decoded the DNA of the cancer.

  It revealed the "genetic identikit" of an ancient husky-like dog, which first developed the disease.
  
  So.. it seems that despite man being only 6,000 years old and 5,000 years before imperfection entered humanity and the natural world and when Genesis 1:31 stated: "God saw all that he had made, and it was very good."
  
  He was already killing dogs and set them up to die very slow and painful deaths.

  Yup the George Orwell image is fake..

  ---

  No, that's not actually a CCTV camera outside George Orwell's old house. It's a photoshopped image by Steve Ullathorne that first took the internet by storm in February 2012. And it's making the rounds yet again.

  Ullathorne has an entire series of these photoshopped images that juxtapose buildings of historical significance with modern day flourishes — like that image on the right, showing a Che Guevara shirt hanging near a plaque about Karl Marx.

  Reading the Bible in 6 months isn't "anything to brag about" - Anthony Morris

  by mac n cheese in

  the 2015 annual meeting, specifically, part 1, right about minute 27, has anthony morris emphasizing that "you're better off reading one chapter (of the bible) and really absorbing it" than just reading the whole thing "as a challenge".

  while i agree with the the whole idea of meditating on anything you read, it was doing this very thing that brought up so many unanswered questions.

  i also came to the constant realization that the jws did not have a clue about what the bible really said.

  Headline: "Islamic Invasion: Europe now scrambles for guns." How true is this?

  by cappytan in

  2. friends

  a year to a year and a half ago, i would have taken this article at face value and believed it.. now, i realize this article comes from a dubious source.

  world news daily has a die-hard right-wing bias.

  so, in an effort to get real information, i'm asking my european exjw's, is this article all true?

  Being kind and compassionate to those who need a home doesn't mean we need to tolerate those who would do evil.

  Agreed .. but how on earth does one tell the difference.
