Help me find this quote: "Bible cannot be understood apart from the WT"

by UnConfused in

thanks.

KateWild

They always quote Romans 10:13-15 I have not got a WT quote. But it's about calling on the name of Jehovah, and the need to preach and teach people. - Kate xx

PS I will try and find one and post it later

Faithful Daughter Shuns Aging Mother

Very funny, I think it is extreme enough to make it obvious it's satirical. Having said that some posters haven't got onto some of the satires on this site yet. I suppose some of them are too subtle.

Well done Etude, made me smile - Kate xx

Atheists, what is the best argument FOR God?

by bohm in

there are no convincing arguments for god, but some are worse than others.

i thought it would be interesting to see what people consider the best (of the bad) arguments for god?.

in my oppinion it is the fine-tuning argument from cosmology.

KateWild

Adam, oh yeah? Well then, how did the puddle come to be?-rip

Thats the point. I know Bohm wants to ask mainly Athiests, I would then say God's water cycle is amazingly created, when I look at water and it's properties it draws me closer to God.

But Adam has a good point too, he would then say well who created God, God's God? It's a cicular argument. Believers and Athiests are both bias. At least I can admit I am.

Love Kate xx

Dawkins Chapter 2 - Dogs, Cows and Cabbages

by KateWild in

i have to say, i am afraid i found this chapter labourious to read in most places.

imo i felt he just wasn't getting to the point.

i don't get why dawkins felt the need to teach me all about platoism, essentialism and rabbits.

KateWild

religious people believe that animals will always reproduce "according their kind" so an explanation of essentialism / platoism may help them to step out of the confines of their existing paradigm. - cantleave

Ok that is a fair point, but like I said to cofty, Religious nuts are not taking over the world. There is more wrong with the education system in the UK than the teaching of evolution. And there is more wrong with the infastructure in the UK as a whole. But I am trolling my own OP now. Having a stressful day. Sorry guys.

BTW, I just private messaged Nugget on FB.

Gosh, what do you do with people like this?

by Julia Orwell in

ok i'm chatting on facebook with a guy who's studying with jws, who isn't yet an unbaptised publisher because he can't kick the cancer sticks.

now i don't believe in the bible anymore, but i say i do to get a bit of common ground with this guy.

it's a common attitude among jws.

KateWild

if I can save one person the trouble of becoming a JW, that's pretty good.-Julia

I am so with you on that point. It may take days, months or years before he realises what you have told him is accurate, but it will stay with him. If you continue to comunicate with him no matter what, he will see you care about him and you have no other motive.

The only thing is you may have to help him recover after he has been a JW, that is also a possibility. Please stick with it.

Julia, I read the conversation carefully. You have got through to the study well done. They totally get your points. ATM they want the JWs attention and calling round and association in the KH.

You, however have provided an alternative, that's great. I am not surprised it's still going. Please don't give up, be there for the study. You are teaching at the same time as the JWs are teaching. Be that pioneer again Julia, you are reaching him/her.
