Society & Culture - 19 October 2007

Does Prov 4:18 really justify an organization replacing doctrines and failed prophecies with new doctrines and prophecies, or does it simply contrast the benefit to the "righteous" of obeying a wise father (Prov 4:10-19)?

False teachings can be called "false words" and Prov 13:5 says, "A false word is what the righteous hates..."

When the WTS changes a teaching to something that is totally different, is it like a light that is getting brighter and brighter or more like having one false light (word) completely turned off and a totally different light turned on?
Do you think the WTS would be critical of any other organization that changed its teachings as many times on as many different issues over the last 100 years as the WTS has?

i know this is nasty to some of you, but as a man it is common to go in a public restroom and find left overs in the toilet from someones previous adventure. i just went to use the bathroom and yeah...someone didnt flush their load which is normal for a mens public restroom, but im just curious......do women have this same problem?

the partner and family? From the women you know that did it, how many were raped or had their health in risk?

Men, please, give your girlfriend or the girl you had fun with the support she needs, instead of the meaningless speech "she can do whatever she wants with her body". You guys have responsibility on this, too!!

Also tell me. Through your eyes, do you believe in god?

If you ask me, I'd say "it's the biggest bs story ever written!"
It has taken more lives than anything else. Wars because of it.
Man vs Man... If something is so 'holy', does it give you right to defend it by killing others? If god is so powerful, he doesn't need man to do his dirty work. Do we just like to think that someone will save us or are we just trying to distract our minds from realizing that we are in hell already??

...or would you have had to see him resurrected first? If you would have believed him, what if someone did the exact same stuff today but without resurrection and claimed he was Jesus? Would you believe him?

If there was an island on the earth that was un-discovered. And let's say a tribe of people lived here.
They were a civilized society. They had a set of rules and they were moral people. They did not worship gods, they never heard of religion.

According to you, all these people go to hell?

This question was inspired from this quote:
Eskimo: "If I did not know about God and sin, would I go to hell?"
Priest: "No, not if you did not know."
Eskimo: "Then why did you tell me?"

Everytime I see a PETA "representative" on reality TV, the news, or at school, they seem so overdramatic and insane.
Are they just passionate or bored and looking for a club to be accepted into? It seems that these are the same people that join cults.
Please note that these people are not certified representatives of PETA, just one of the many members.
