Critical thinking

by Freedom rocks in

what kind of questions would you use to get a child'scritical thinking skills going from a young age with regards to the bible/god/jesus/anything to do with the religion??.

my most hated answer jws gave to people when they said you can't see god so how do you know he exists was "well you can't see electricity or gravity but you know they exist".

sorry but that doesn't prove god exists.

EverApostate

"well you can't see electricity or gravity but you know they exist".

Ok true.

I can demonstrate anytime that Electricity works by turning on the Light and the room brightens up

I can demonstrate anytime that gravity works when you throw a ball up and it comes down.

Both these Experiments are immediately demonstrable,verifiable and tangible and can be done by anyone, anytime, anywhere.

Is there something similar we can do to prove that God Exists. The Proof should be immediately demonstrable, verifiable and tangible at anytime, anywhere for everyone.

God and the afterlife. Do you need to believe in both

by moley in

i consider myself an atheist, i completely reject the idea of a totalitarian desert god/any god and the bible is a book of fairytales and folk legends.. i do however sort of believe that this life is not all there is.

i’m not talking about heaven or hell but in a tangible state of being.. there are a few experiences i’ve had in my llife.

could be imagined could be real.

EverApostate

God(s) were created by humans. AfterLife is a wishful thinking of Humans.

When you believe in Afterlife, you are deluding yourself by thinking that humans are a special species in nature and that they deserve an afterlife. That is not the case. Humans have evolved to use their brains in a much complicated way than any other species. That’s it.

Otherwise nature treats every living thing equally. That is, every living thing suffers and eventually dies and is gone forever.

How Long Before They Introduce Tithing?

by pale.emperor in

when i was a full-on believing jw i had an obsessive fascination with mormonism.

i read, studied and watched their propaganda with strange interest as well as their apostate mormon books.

i have to say, they have a good scam going claiming that "the lord reintroduced tithing" in the modern age.

EverApostate

FedUpJW, were you in the Writing department of Watchtower. That is so precise..

I dread any letter like this, as my JW wife would take my earnings and donate to those goons

Has God preserved His word today?

by JW Answers in

has god preserved his word today?

many people attack, doubt and fault god's word.

yet god has made several promises in his word.he promised to preserve his word unto every generation,he promised that every word would be truth,he promised that we can rely and depend on his every word.satan wants nothing more than to dismiss, and cast doubt on god's word... so the question today is... do we have god's preserved word today?

EverApostate

The Bible was compiled by Roman Politicians, centuries after the supposed death of Jesus Christ. Many supposed holy Books were excluded in that compile.

The Bible was circulated through handwritten copies until men invented the printing press. Not a very efficient way to spread god’s word

Almighty God’s holy name was taken out of his Holy book and he didn’t do anything about it for 1875 years until the JW religion was established.

Translation of a book into any other language would twist the original meaning, culturally and grammatically. This is what linguists say.

Still the Bible is undergoing revisions, as many verses are deleted from it, from various Christian denominations.

Jehovah created paradise to be perfect, right Dad ?

by Not_Culty in

EverApostate

How could an All perfect God make creatures that could choose to sin and become imperfect.

God cannot sin. Thats what the Bible teaches. So should have been human kind, created by a sinless god.

What would you do or say?

by Butyoucanneverleave in

a brother who is not baptized ( so there's still hope for him ) had a sister recently run into him at a store.

show wanted to know if he's going to the kingdom hall.

she asked him to write a letter for her to give to his mother ( who's deceased) in the paradise explaining why he didn't make it.

EverApostate

There are several Nutty cases like these in the JW world.

One brother said that he would start to tremble whenever he misses s meeting, and would become normal only when he is at the meeting again.

Another nut came to the hall to give his part, when his father was dead.

And mosquitoes will drink orange juice

Some elders or Ministerial servants would have the privilege to prepare Mosquito special Orange Juices.

So the animals too would be perfect, as it has been promised that death would be no more, nor crying nor suffering.

And all carnivorous creatures would be eating Vegetation.

And what about leprosy germs, TB germs, Virus, and Flesh eating bacteria. Oh... they too would be made perfect, to be more virulent? We have to wait and see

And people won’t gossip, be selfish or harm others or even the slightest apostate thinking won’t come to their mind.

And meetings - 5 times a day to praise Jah. What if I skip meetings , as I always did in the old world.

No field Service, and fake time reporting, as all would be JWs. Phew…..That’s a good relief.

No fear of Job Insecurity, Layoffs, Inflation, Pollution , Corruption, Crime. All taken care of by Jah + Jesus + 144K

No Inorganic food stuff.

And people can choose to live some 10 million years in the Alps, the next ten million years in the Americas, another 10 million in any tropical Island. You know, these are minuscule periods of time when compared to eternity

Wow! Quite a situation, to live on forever. Looking forward.

Did the jw's leadership ever apologize for 1975?

by dugout in

jw
friends

talking to my friend who's an elder, when i asked him did the leadership ever attempt to apologize for the 1975 prediction fiasco he said they did.

and he was going to show me.

i'm still waiting..................................................tic toc did they???

EverApostate

This never fails to get to me.
"It is to be regretted" -- passive voice.
Even in an "apology", they refuse to take personal responsibility.
Imagine "apologizing" in this manner in any other situation.
"It is to be regretted that your best friend was slept with by myself on the eve of her wedding..."
"It is to be regretted that gasoline was poured by myself all throughout your house, and a match was lit, and a fire was started..."
Link Dislike Like sir82, very good. You have best explained the manipulative Language of WT

Anyone know the significance of the three days and nights Jesus is dead?

by Crazyguy in

in my studies i’ve come to realize that most dying and rising gods such as inanna, jesus and others all were dead three days and nights.

the moon is dead as far as man not being able to see it in the sky three days and nights but many of these gods are not associated with the moon, osiris maybe being the only exception.

have any of you in your research come up with a plausible idea on why there all dead just threes days and three nights?.

EverApostate

Its all Myth, copied from some other earlier myths. Hence......
