  Humans can have answers to any questions

  by venus in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  god would not say: “you should not eat from the tree of good and bad, which would make you like me” because through jesus he said: ‘you must become like me by imitating the qualities of sun whose only concern is giving (of light and warmth) which means having no expectation of anything from anybody’ (mathew 5:44-48) .

  this also means we should have no human teachers because we can have answer to any questions by ourselves, through inference.

  (pro 25:2) how to go about inferring?

  deegee - Good Points. I would save them

  A plant grows on an abandoned building. The building was not designed for plants to grow, but plants grow there due to favorable conditions.

  Like wise, life arose on earth due to favorable conditions.

  John's Two Witnesses...Who Are/Were They?

  by Cold Steel in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  do the scripture writers at hq allow for any scriptural exegesis that recognizes the state of israel as fulfillment of ancient prophecy?

  isaiah, for example, writes: .

  and it shall come to pass in that day, that the lord shall set his hand again the second time to recover the remnant of his people, which shall be left, from assyria, and from egypt, and from pathros, and from cush, and from elam, and from shinar, and from hamath, and from the islands of the sea.

  CS - I haven't read all of your posts but on the outset I feel you belong to some sect of Christianity. Had you been a JW before ? How come you are still so zealous in your beliefs ? Just curious.

  I think your family or loved ones are not in. Whom you mention as JW friends are not friends at all. They are merely associates of WT, who would dump you mercilessly if you leave. My Experience.

  Then why bother ? Dash out and experience the freedom and joy of living without superstitions

  Casting Out DEMONS

  by Cold Steel in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  if someone believes they're being plagued with demons or they have problems with hauntings, things moving by themselves or hearing voices or footsteps, who they gonna call?

  i know they take demons very seriously, so who in the congregation do they go to when they need to bring out the big guns?

  do they try to handle it themselves or is this a job for the elders?

  If someone can tell me the address of that Haunted home in the VDO above, I could bargain it for a dirt cheap price.

  I bet they wont sell, because this is the groundwork for another book and a Horror movie

  Do they even realise how disgustingly immoral this is and how badly it reflects on the God they worship?

  by doubtfull1799 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  found this little gem when going through the daily texts.... so let me get this straight.... god knows your suffering really badly and wants to help.

  he knows you feel like you're at your limit, but he also knows that you are not really - that you can handle some more suffering.

  so instead of helping, he "patiently" waits till you are at your absolute limit, and only then does he help!?.

  God is patient and make us endure trials

  This is Just a lame excuse given by religious people,especially Christians , to make up for their non existing god.

  i heard many times when i was a witness how much "learning the truth" helped people.

  many have been said to have become much better people.

  addictions were given up.

  If only the major news network would do a story on the watchtower

  by nowwhat? in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  with the shit hitting the fan with all these molestation charges against celebrities and notable people.

  the time would be perfect for a u.s. major news network to do a story on the pedophile cover-up of the organization.

  since dateline did a story about this 15 year's it would be great for them to do a follow up report on how not only have the watchtower not changed their ways but have become firmly entrenched about their pedo policies!

  My JW wife and I watch dateline regularly. I bet my wife wont watch any such Dateline, that reviews the WT.

  So are the Majority of JWs
