Cain and Abel..... why the disagreements?
by anti-absolutism inwhen i was quite young, (about 8 years old) and i was told about the abel being favoured by god, cain getting jealous and killing abel story, i couldn't help but wonder why god was so hard on cain.
i am certainly not condoning cain killing his brother, but since god made both the animals that abel was offering and the veggies that cain was offering, why was cain looked down on?.
also, why did it seem better to god to kill an animal that abel offered, as opposed to thinking, well at least cain is only wasting some food.

Does anyone TRULY die?
by anti-absolutism ini have been reading the book, "the power of positive thinking" by norman vincent peale.
he is/was a christian minister, but his thoughts on god are somewhat different than what i thought a minister's thoughts would be.
in the second last chapter he expresses an interesting viewpoint.

Clarification sought
by donkey inok...as you know donkey's are dumb and i am no exception.. i am thinking about 1975 and how jw's got into that mess.. according to the calculated chronology at the time jw's thought that 1975 would be the end of the 6000th year of man's creation (also coinciding with the advent of armageddon).
is that correct?.
did they claim that there would be 1000 years of earthly rule to conclude the 7th creation day (god's rest day)?

Why Do Jehovah's Witnesses View Disfellowshipping The Same As The Jews?
by minimus injw's are so fond of quoting the scripture about treating a sinner "just as a man of the nations and as a tax collector".
since this was clearly an unloving jewish practice, why does the society feel obliged to use this jewish practice in disfellowshipping??
?

Do they imagine that they have some sort of special powers mandate ?
by A Paduan indo elders, or other jws, convince themselves that they have some sort of divine mandate which allows them to walk over the top of people's rights ?
i know some jws who appear to simply do as they please, whether or not it infringes on anyone's privacy, or impacts on their lifestyle, or even their natural rights, and i've read posts here which would indicate that elders in particular may simply enter someone's home uninvited, and worse.
what's your experiences of this imaginary authority?
