Finding the value of God; Isn't it better to believe in a deity?
by Caupon in
1. jw
2. friends
the question as to what believing in this entity called god entails is a fairly important question that needs to be answered first.

to me, the key difference between a universe in which god exists versus one where god doesn't lies in the idea of teleology.

in my view, a universe with god entails some sort of process towards an end, an end which can be characterized with words such as bliss and unity and others.

it has to be starting to fade somehow.

my wife is taking a literature course at a local college.

this was her final topic of the semester: why rational people buy into conspiracy theories?i automatically thought of this site and of jws.

the jws i knew, were the kind of people that would believe in conspiracy theories, and i noticed a small following on this site.. the article that was referenced for this course was: http://www.nytimes.com/2013/05/26/magazine/why-rational-people-buy-into-conspiracy-theories.html?_r=0.

like it is so annoying.

as tired as i am and as painful these meetings are to listen to, i can not for the life of me fall asleep.

Still pointing your Finger when having a Rafter in your eye?
by DocHouse in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
yes- everyone has faults and makes mistakes; an organization even more so.. yet, you ignore all the fingers pointing at you.. many here have no faith.

many here go to churches who lie about everything biblical; look at x-mas!.

but at least we know god and christ and try to live up to their name!.

The Revelation of Saint John the Divine
by Caupon in
1. watchtower
2. bible
apparently there are anointed members of god's earthy organization, or the jehova's christian witness church.

my understanding of this is that those select few appointed by holy spirit directed by he who is above will rule over the other sheep with the jesus in heaven.

their biblical proof of this is supposedly in the acts of the apostles and the last book, the revelation.

Where are the scriptures to back up the highlighted assertions?
by Brainfloss in
1. watchtower
2. bible
9 through his son, jehovah established an arrangement here on earth that works in harmony with the invisible part of the organization.

why is a visible arrangement needed to accomplish the work described at matthew 24:14?

consider three reasons.. 10 first, jesus stated that this preaching work would take his disciples to the most distant part of the earth.
