Is theology, as a branch of philosophy, an overly neglected subject? Is humanity in need of some new theological ideas?

“The Witnesses contradict almost every basic Christian teaching. And those they don’t contradict they usually ignore. They are fundamentally unitarians. A leaflet published from the London Office called What do Jehovah’s Witnesses Believe? tells us: "Since there are many ‘gods’ and many ‘lords’ the true God has a personal name to distinguish him from all other gods." The name is Jehovah. The truth is that there is only one God, and he certainly has not got a name to distinguish him from other "gods." Even the word "Jehovah" is not really biblical. The original writers of Holy Writ did not know it. In Hebrew they wrote "Yahweh" which means "He who is." It is an alternative name for God. The Witnesses claim that Jehovah is a personal name for God. It is very hard to decide exactly what the Witnesses mean by all this, but it seems that for them "Jehovah" is to "god" as "oak" is to "tree"—one among many but the best of the lot. The expression "Jehovah God" so commonly used by the Witnesses is nowhere found in the Bible.”

It was their god who did it. I am constantly seeing people bash evolution and make insane claims that they read on some Christian website, then they have the nerve to act like Intelligent design is some sort of exclusive Christian ideal all the while ignoring the what...Thousand or so other creations stories throughout history. I mean is it possible for a Christian to be open minded or is that about as possible as the virgin birth?

"I'm no girly man's" espousal of the worship of Crom is starting to become very attractive to me---of course, he himself is attractive, so that might account for me being drawn to it. Am I too much of a girly man to make a good follower of Crom?

“As for civil authority, they say they owe their only loyalty to a "Theocratic Kingdom" and refuse the duties of earthly citizenship. There are two groups in the world, the "Theocratic Kingdom" and "Satan’s Organization." This latter includes all churches and governments. Just as among the churches the papacy is the "Beast" par excellence, so amongst the nations are America and Britain.”

Is a unified world order, where there are no countries, kingdoms and borders, like the one proposed by Rabindranath Tagore (a great Indian poet and novelist in the early 20th century), and also shown in the Star Trek Series, possible in the near future?
There would only be one central Earth government. No movement restrictions, discriminations, war, conflict, economic imbalances between global regions, as there is now. People would be free to move, live and work WHEREVER they wanted.
People currently referred to as Africans could stay in China, Europeans could work and live in the African continent, Indian farmers could cultivate crops in Argentina...In fact, then, they would not be known as Indians, or British or Americans..just Earth humans. Fascinating scenario, don't you think?

Many protestants don't know anything outside of their own very narrow bible interpretation. What do they know about the Divine Missions in the Trinity, Circuminscession (Its not circumcision), Relations in the Trinity, etc. All these concepts are connected with the scriptures.

When you ask someone a question lets say a hypothetical like why do they call a bus yellow? You know how people will answer a question with an answer like, "Well they say that buses are yellow because of........" Who are the "they" that are being referred too? I want to know these "theys" they have all the answers. Does anyone know the orgin of the they's? Or am I just dwelling on the rediculous cause I have nothing better to do? I dare you to think about it, lol.

I'm feeling really tempted to try drugs. I don't know why, but I just feel curious. I know drugs are bad and blah blah, but I don't know why I feel so tempted.

I also feel tempted to try sex. Everyone says it feels so good and its wonderful, that it sounds really apealing to me.

What's your advice/response?

“The Witnesses have no time for the Christian churches. Russell said that in 1878 God had rejected all existing churches and made the Russellites the only spokesmen thenceforward. Rutherford went further. He did not like to admit that the churches were all right till Russell came on the scene. After Christ’s Resurrection, he said, the devil built up a great empire, the papacy. Later, he inspired the creation of the Protestant churches. So, all Catholic priests and Protestant clergymen are of the devil, enemies of God, Antichrist. The Witnesses deny that they are a church or a denomination. There is no justification, they say, in the Bible for a church or a hierarchy.”
