Active JW's, can you defend "THE TRUTH?"

by DATA-DOG in

as of yet, no member of the jehovah's witness faith can defend their unique beliefs.

when the dust settles, it all comes down to blind faith in men's ever-changing ideas.

this "unique belief" was not a "true teaching of the bible.

jw's are suckers.. they got fooled.. they devoted their life to a fraud.. they have been ambiently abused.. they have been used for the money.. they are stuck in a sick mindset.. with sick people.. in a sick temple.. and (the real estate fraud) makes money off the sickness.. i say run away fast.. get your family.. get your friends.. get your kids.. run as fast as you can.. don't look back.. eventually you will heal.. eventually..

W.y.d, I am sure athiests do care , especially concerning deluded individuals who who spout their supernatural NON.....SENSE on this and other forums.

As for ' raging' .I sense a tinge of rage in your reply.

"Nobody cares"...to which nobody's are you referring?

"Scream it from the mountain tops ".....No need its staring you in the face if you'd only care to look.

Best wishes to you.

Perry if jesus wasn't available, in the way you perceive him would you still be part of the cult?

Remember the cult is also an interpretation of jesus(in part ) would you agree therefore they are misguided/ delusioned ?

Your own interpretation is no more than a symptom of the same thing.

I do however understand your commitment to your belief but consider the many many millions that believe in christ

that you would disagree with. Your reasoning only works for you because you need it for a purpose.

That purpose of course may not even exist except in the workings of your consciousness.

I personally feel a different approach could give you a more realistic existence.

Best wishes to you

Eh wait just a doggon minute.!

Perry makes his wild FAITH! based statement asserting that jesus has made us free?

There is obviously no assumption on his part, no proof, nothing except his own supernatural belief system.

Cofty in his own inimitable way is correctly I.M.O, pointing this out.

I dont see a bait trap.

Don't insult your own intelligence perry.Its not too difficult to research and understand that faith baseless NON.....SENSE cannot

stand up against scientific, historical and reasoned facts.

Are the gospels just midrash?

by yadda yadda 2 in

some responses to this common claim gleaned from internet sources;.

the idea the gospels are simply midrash has several problems associated with it.

one is that the genre as such did not exist yet in judaism as the midrashim are a few centuries later.

Kate ....." Can I still believe in God but not the bible " yes you can but why?

Either side of the fence gets you somewhere right or wrong , but sitting on the fence results in frustration

which can lead to inner turmoil which is not good for your phsych or physical wellbeing.

You can have a fulfilled and happy life without supernatural belief or input.

Best wishes to you.

http://www.borehamwoodtimes.co.uk/news/11016729.former_home_of_cardif_pinnacle_bought_by_jehovah_s_witnesses/.

.

the former home of an insurance company will now be used to store bibles by a christian sect.. jehovah's witnesses have bought 1 elstree way in borehamwood, formerly known as pinnacle place, from cardif pinnacle for 4,928,000.. the building will be used by the international bible students association, a corporation of the jehovah's witnesses which distributes bibles and other religious literature.. the non-profit organisation currently operates out of properties throughout mill hill and borehamwood, with headquarters in the ridgeway in mill hill.. it employs 700 people in printing, storing and distributing religious literature throughout britain, europe and africa.. a spokesman for the jehovahs witnesses said the association had outgrown its existing premises and had bought the large building to consolidate its operations.. it will use the new acquisition to store magazines, pamphlets and bibles as well as making full use of the office space.. however it will continue to maintain its headquarters in mill hill, where the literature is printed.. the sale went through in december and the international bible students association is currently preparing the building so it can move in.. jehovahs witnesses are best known for their door-to-door evangelical work, offering bible literature and recruiting and converting people to their beliefs.. the spokesman for the movement said: we are all about bible education and we print biblical literature to distribute around the world.. the people of borehamwood will probably not notice anything different as we are making no changes to the actual building, which is why we did not need planning permission..

Leolaia certainly knows her stuff.Yadda eventually conceded the point but where does that take us?

These ' type ' of studies interesting as they are in terms of biblical, theological, historical study only serve for these purposes.

Do the conclusions actually have a bearing on our contemporary lives? If so how?

Are these subjects offered as a means of understanding ourselves, or as conduit for enlightenment.

If so I personally fail to see it

I think I'll just see it as an interesting subject and live my life without the complexities of ancient irrelevant (apart from historical study)
