  Are you telling me you don't think the account where a doney talks to a man is real?"

  That one annointed donkey should have been inspired and filled with holy spirit.

  Who was the devil that tested Jesus in the Wilderness?

  by Doug Mason in

  when i started investigating "the temptations" at matthew chapter 4, i had no idea that i would develop the ideas contained in my study paper.

  so it cannot honestly be said that i set out to prove the conclusions i arrived at.. it is available at:.

  This is how religious people retrofit their religious events with the modern understanding of things

  Jesus = Real

  Satan = Not real. Just a Temptation

  Mountain = Not real. A metaphor.

  Moral of the story. Resist temptations like Jesus. Don’t take the events literally.

  This is how religions survive, even in Scientific era

  In the same way Jehovah destroyed the nation of Egypt with the use of 10 plagues

  An Almighty god can free his people in an instant with infinite ways. Why negotiate and bargain with the Pharoah and punish the innocent people with all those plagues. A very silly and horrific fairly tale

  The Bible is total nonsense. We can't make sense out of nonsense. Then why take the pains to investigate.

  The Trinity explained from the Whiteboard

  by JW Answers in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  a lot of people are confused over the teaching of the trinity, some doubt it, some outright deny it, where some can't get their head around it.

  the bible supports it through scriptural evidence.

  this video explains from the whiteboard the difference between the god of the watchtower to the god in the bible.

  Also,Trying to Prove 1+1+1 = 1. I dont think this this can proven even anywhere in the universe.

  Arguments I’ve Had: Historical Accuracy and the Bible

  by Saethydd in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  when i was a jw and still living with my parents i remember the way my father held what could almost be described as contempt for archeologists, paleontologists, and other scientists who dared to try explain what happened in past.

  he justified this attidtude with the argument that these people don’t have enough evidence to make such claims with any certainty.

  however, i see now that his viewpoint was more likely a defense mechanism to protect his presupposed conclusion that everything described in the bible actually happened.

  Two elders came to my home recently to revive me up.

  It started with Noah’s flood. They argued it was true

  I asked them "If Noah’s flood is true, why don’t any of the Science channels today authorize that such a world wide event happened"

  Their reply. "All Science channels are against the Bible"

  What else to argue with these “Self Deluded, heads buried in the sand” zombies

  How were God’s true worshipers to determine virginity of pagan girls?

  by Ireneus in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  in the genocidal instructions supposedly given by god we find this interesting command: “now kill all the boys.

  and kill every woman who has slept with a man, but save for yourselves every girl who has never slept with a man.” (numbers 31:17, 18).

  in the midst of killing and plundering, how were the israelites to determine whether each girl “has slept with a man” or not?.

  Now kill all the boys. And kill every woman who has slept with a man, but save for yourselves every girl who has never slept with a man.” (Numbers 31:17, 18 )

  I was never shown these type of verses during my Bible study, nor in my Sunday Schools.

  If shown, Would have become an atheist sooner in my life.

  If You Told A JW That His Religion Was “False Religion “ What Would Be His Response?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  witnesses are used to saying that every other religion but their own makes up “false religion “....how would a devout witness handle being labeled as a member of a false religion??

  ?.

  Perhaps their reply would be:
  

  Only the Bible is true out of all religious books and only JWs use god’s name out of those 32K Christian Denominations.

  Perhaps we can ask them: “Really, and this Almighty god of yours, who kills a man instantly for preventing the ark from tumbling down, didnt do anything when his Holy name was taken out of his Holy book and remains silent for 1875 years, until CT Russell came to restore it."

  When 999 religions out of 1000 are false, why cant we scrutinise that one one "True" religion with the same criteria as you did for those false ones ?

  Why are they announcing 2019 conventions so early?

  by Richard_I in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was just told there will be international conventions in canada in 2019. .

  so i looked at jw.org and i see that there's a whole bunch of conventions now listed on the site for 2019.. isn't this odd?

  normally we were told the location of conventions during the first week of january.. did they realize there was less in attendance in the 2018 conventions, and want to give ppl more time to make travel arrangements??

  United Nations

  hello, recently, i talked with the witness of the united states.

  "jehovah's witnesses" in the united nations.

  as far as i understand, the organization had to fully accept the un charter and cooperate with the un.the jehovah's witness replied to me that there is no contradiction in this.he said that witnesses are allowed to apply, for example, to courts or other organizations for help.when i told him that the organization is participating in the osce, he is said to be normal too.he said that they are not affected.

  If it isn’t wrong to be a member of the UN, why did they then withdraw their membership in 2001?

  Yes, why did they withdraw. Also, they withdrew it hastily when they were Exposed by a UK Newspaper
