JW and communion

by Canadian Sunshine in

a few years ago i attended the kingdom hall during "easter" as my mother in law asked me to come to a service.

i was hesitant at first, being a christian and a believer in jesus, she told me that jw believe in jesus and to come see for myself.

i finally agreed to go.

I was in that religion for 11 years and couldn't understand that.

I don't think anyone can provide a convincing explanation, even its Existing members (Including their priests and Popes called as elders and Governing Body ..)

Earth quakes - Bad design.

Cant the Almighty recirculate the soil (As Earthquakes does) without damage to life and Property. Should ask this to a JW next time.

Atheists - How Did You Become An Atheist After Waking Up?

by pale.emperor in

i consider myself an atheist.

and right now i'm reading a lot on atheism in general (books written to answer creationists).. i'd be interested in knowing how you became an atheist after leaving the jws and how long did it take?

was it instant or did your belief in a deity gradually decline?.

607 BC - This triggered off my (REAL) research about WT

Bears maul 42 children in Bible. This triggered off my research on the ridiculousness of the Bible.

Turned out to be a Happy Atheist in a Year. Thanks to WT and Bible

4 zombies at the door.

i come out with the nwt and ask who wants to talk about the bible.

if you don't want to talk about the bible why the fuck did you knock and counting time.

EverApostate

JWs are captives to a concept and should be pitied but most are still good people.

How can they be "Good" people when they allow their own children to die based on some vague concepts ?

Death

by Charles Gillette in

jw
friends

i often wonder about death.

no one has any idea, do they?

people have speculated since the beginning of time but each original concept of the hereafter as been absurd as the one before.

EverApostate

We humans are just as good as any other living species on the planet. Once gone, the chapter is closed. We cease to exist and are nothing thereafter.

Heaven, Hell, reincarnation, after Life, eternal Life, and resurrection are all Bogus, as far as the evidence until now.

With all respect, but if you trust your God to be your rock, why do you ask others?

Because Rocks are lifeless

Shunning: Reasoning With JW's

by The Fall Guy in

perhaps this line of questioning could agitate a jw's thinking.

it can't hurt.. you: is shunning a biblical teaching?.

jw: yes.. you: so it must be god's law?.

EverApostate

Canadian Sunshine, Have you read the Bible Fully, especially the violence filled Old Testament.

You say so much about "Holy" Bible and Love.

Also, we can very well Justify shunning from the Bible. The Bible advises to slaughter the Unbelievers and Jesus himself says the same point figuratively. As well as Paul who says not to invite anyone into your home, who does not accept Christ.

Iran vs. Israel - could it be the beginning of Armageddon?

by tartarus in

i have recently read in the news that an attack on iran is planned sometime after the olympics in beijing.

here's a bit of background to it:.

when irans fledgling democracy was overthrown with support of cia the shah of iran was giving israel free oil thru a pipeline that still runs thru saudi arabia to a refinery in the israeli city of haifa.

Armageddon was a word coined by a Disillusioned, Dysfunctional, Paranoia in the middle east. Dont give a heck about it

Christ's sacrifice

by dogisgod in

so, i am having lunch with a group of women with varying backgrounds.

i asked the circle how many believed in the story of adam and eve and the snake.

no one believed it literally.

Christ's Sacrifice

According to Cambridge Dictionary

sacrifice meaning: 1. to give up something for something else considered more important: 2. to offer the life of an animal or a person to a god or gods in the hope of pleasing them, usually as part of a ceremony

What was the Outcome of the supposed Christs (If he really existed) so called Sacrifice ?

Oh No. Not those christian Abstract concepts like "Christ died for our sins, Christ is our Savior, redeemer, Christ paid the Ransom......."

Rather, any Tangible benefits that we could verify ?

Yes, Ransom is the concept that JWs introduced to tie up with the Supposed Christs Death
