Religion & Spirituality - 12 April 2007

Christians, this may be considered blasphemy, but there are rumors going around in a bunch of books from the middle east that say that Jesus was hung from a tree! The accounts say that the sources are eye witnesses. Is there any truth to this?

Whats your opinon? No offense intended, just seems funny that it is legal (in some countries), and people are in disbelief about it.

I have noticed that the system in our forum has a basic flaw. People answer in a way to please the asker. Is truth always the popular answer?

A story went through the congregations in the 1980's that a new family at WT Study one Sunday let their daughter bring her Smurf Doll to the meeting; and, that during the meeting the doll jumped off the chair and said, "I've had enough of this ****," and walked out the door. As you may recall, it was commonly believed in the WT that Smurfs were representative of demons.

My question for current or former JW's who were in the Tower then, how was this received in your congregation; and, do you have any other incidents you remember?

I'm all for freedom of religion, but do you think it should be illegal to brainwash children too far? I mean there are actually lunatics who are putting creationism on equal grounds with evolution, an undebatable scientific fact, with thousands of pieces of evidence. Please evangelicals, do not mention the word theory in this thread without first researching gravity and what the word theory in science means. They home school their kids and specifically tell them that evolution is false and creationism in 6 days is the truth. When does this become child abuse? They are closing their child's minds up, and only promoting hatred and bigotry to spread, some would consider this an especially hanus form of child abuse.

Okay, first of all...sometimes I joke around that there is no god just to see peoples reactions. Though in reality I am more of an agnostic because I honestly think there is no way of proving or disproving the existence of god, rather it's a matter of personal beliefs.
Let it be known, however, that no matter the stance on religion I think ORGANIZED religion is a joke due to the large amount of hypocrisy in the church.
Moving on. When I was younger and religious. I remember a sermon, in that sermon the preacher was talking about his discussion with someone who believes in evolution.
He went on to ask the evolutionist about where planets came from and stars and everything else out in space. The evolutionist says "They were just there"
Then the creationist goes on to say that they couldn't just "Always be there, someone has to put it there"
Yet they claim god was "Always there". How does that make any sense at all? Why is it God can always be there but nothing else can?

Than use a Bible translation that took God's name out, wouldn't you? We all know that this is a fact. Why do you continue to support a translation that took our Heavenly Fathers name out? I respect the commitee that translated the New World Translation and thank them for restoring Jehovah's name.

(1Jn 2:27) But the anointing which you received from Him abides in you, and you do not need anyone to teach you. But as His anointing teaches you concerning all things, and is true and no lie, and as He has taught you, abide in Him.

So how about the Designer some postulate? The Designer did not have a designer, despite his unmistakable complexity. If the Designer can come about without the aid of a designer, why not everything else?

Here it does not matter whether the Designer has always been or not - he did not have a designer and is quite complex, proving that even very complex things do not need a designer.

How can you continue to use the "it's too complex" argument in light of this fact?

There seem to be more and more atheists, obstinate in their defiance, day after day.

I hate how people condemn the Bible for it's validity before they've even read it. And, as usually is the case, they never do read it.

It seems to me that the diminishing number of Christians correlates to a growing laziness when it comes to reading the Bible, and actually hear what God has to say.

I know that I will no longer be in my body after I die. I have a very rare decease, that there is no cure for. I know that after death, I will no longer be in this body, I won't be needing it. Maybe they can take this body after my death and learn from it to help someone live a fuller, happier, healthier life. I have not yet made up my mind, my children and grandchildren won't be needing a grave site to visit as they live many states away. What do you think?

Ecclesiastes 1:5
"The sun rises and the sun sets, and hurries back to where it rises."

Please don't add Issiah or something else. That passage itself obviously implies, at the very least, that the sun moves around the earth.
