  JW.ORG delivering food to JWs in California

  by NikL in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  so a couple of weeks ago my wife (who is an active jw) got a delivery of apples, oranges, potatoes, carrots and onions.. the story i heard was that the "branch bought a bunch of food that would go to waste and was delivering it".. i am in california and a friend of mine in another cong.

  50 or so miles away had the same thing happen.. a few days ago we got another delivery and as a matter of fact my wife was asked if she could "help jehovah with delivering his gifts".

  unfortunately she is in poor health and unable to so so.. anyway, the story seems fabricated to me and i am wondering what is really going on.. does anybody have any ideas?

  Are you all sure "WT is stealing from the USDA?" I know where I live, they have started food pantries and are making sure anything perishable gets divided out to those who need it before it goes bad. I am inactive and had a phone call that if I needed any food to contact any local elder. And if I had any canned food or water I could take it to this elder's house so they could distribute it in a crisis.

  Quoting a Breibart page always reminds me of an ocean of orange soda!

  It's all a Fanta-sea

  I am very right leaning, but that made me chuckle. Nice one oppostate.

  Jehovah? Oh dear.

  by Giordano in

  some recent new friends on this forum like friend kosonen are fixated with god's name being jehovah...unfortunately they are wrong:.

  a quick bit of history:.

  "about the 13th century the term “jehovah” appeared when christian scholars took the consonants of “yahweh” and pronounced it with the vowels of “adonai.” this resulted in the sound “yahowah,” which has a latinized spelling of “jehovah.” the first recorded use of this spelling was made by a spanish dominican monk, raymundus martini, in 1270.. interestingly, this fact is admitted in much jehovah’s witness literature, such as their aid to bible understanding (p. 885).

  I've always thought people were way to fixated on it. I speak English. That made up God from the Hebrews, in English, is pronounced Jehovah. I could give a rats ass on how it was pronounced in Israel 3000 years ago, with some dead language that no one speaks.

  Who is considered more bizarre?

  by incognito2014 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  jws or mormons.

  from a public point of view not from people within the religion as that would be obvious.. examples of extreme beliefs or behaviour would be useful..

  Epicurean Paradox

  The main flaw in the Epicurean paradox, as I see it, is that it makes a semantic error. It assumes that if a thing has omnipotence — the ability to do anything— then that thing is then capable of doing everything simultaneously. It reduces to the sillier and more obvious question: “If God can go left and right, why can’t s’he do both?” Of course, perhaps an omnipotent being could manage somehow to go left and right simultaneously, but how would it have to change the world as we know it in order to make that possibility a reality?

  The problem is that we humans are not omniscient — not all-knowing — and so we can only reflect on things from our tightly delimited and separated worlds of experience. If we live in Florida and there’s a flood that kills 20 people, we shake our fist at the sky and say “How could you let this evil happen? 20 people died!” But what if the consequence of preventing that flood would have meant a drought in Ethiopia that killed hundreds? And what if the consequences of preventing both would have resulted in a war in Ghana that killed tens of thousands? and what if the consequences of preventing all three would be a plague that ravaged Asia and killed millions? And what if preventing all four entailed some subtle change that would make life more or less impossible on this planet? We already see this effect from our own short-sighted efforts: our hunger for mechanical and electrical power has polluted the atmosphere in ways that are driving up global temperatures, risking any number of world-wide catastrophes and extinctions. A God is by definition not short-sighted — s’he is omniscient — and so s’he will have a very broad and clear view on which path is best to take. But still, s’he can’t easily take all paths.

  Of course, I suppose we could imagine a world in which a God constantly intervened to prevent all badness to everyone. It would be a world of constant miracles in which there was no consistency or predictability; where natural laws changed from moment to moment and person to person in order to protect everyone; where no one ever really got to make any choices for themselves, because God was always redirecting things to keep them safe and happy. It would be like living in a universe run by an all-powerful, all-seeing, and all-meddling (and all-stereotypical, apologies) Jewish mother. How horrible would that be?

  We lack the knowledge to evaluate the morality of natural events, because we cannot see what a God might see. We should focus on the morality of our own acts.
