If you know that God reached this man personally and god touched him,  you should go up to this man and ask him about God.  And then you will actually know.

If this feels awkward, just pretend to be a jw.  Knock on the door.  Ask him how he is doing and perhaps have any brochure on family life handy.  If he is interested in the bible at all, as h…[Read more]

For autism, there is no cure yet.  Anyone who believes their child was cured of autism, that child didn’t have autism.

1. What did the doctor day when he was cured of autism?  This must have made history and have been written up.  It was probably on the news.

Was he Confirmed through tests to have autism.  Do tests now show that he doesn’t?  (T…[Read more]

The violent family, with the screaming,  think I know who mean because I live just next to them but on the other side.

I remember that loud night also that made you feel scared for them and yourself, because it scared me too.  Half our neighbors must have been scared.

When I called the police, this time it seemed different.  They were there lo…[Read more]

“David believe me there are still true mircales being performed even today just as there was in the days long ago.”

Are there gene? Miracles “just as there was in the days of long ago”?

Today when a Christian helps feed the poor, he might pray or give money, but we don’t see fish and bread appearing almost as if by magic.
When Jesus healed…[Read more]

Hi miia

How do you judge what is actually a miracle and what is not, given the human minds ability to self deceive?

For thousands of years people who worshipped a thousand different gods have believed they were seeing miracles just as you do.

I think a lot of this is the post hoc ergo propter hoc fallacy. Just because something comes before…[Read more]

1. Does anyone here think I have given any reason for anyone to believe that I:
A. Am catholic?
B. Believe the Trinity?

I don’t believe everyone should be allowed to use the Internet.

I actually saw this video a couple weeks ago. I was going to answer the question and was surprised when this video was the same video I had already watched.

I almost don’t trust this though. Even if religion isn’t the “cause” of most wars. I feel like it is still used to get support for the war way more than 7% of the time.

Proverbs 14:15. The naive person believes every word, But the shrewd one ponders each step.

Often stories (personal anecdotes) are told. And repeated. And that child’s game of telephone or whatever it’s called goes into effect. Soon the story is miraculous. Boring details forgotten. Other details enhanced. Even when this miracle comes from…[Read more]

Hi,

If you do not believe in miracles guess what.

You will never see any.

Hi miia

I think what you said was simplified in nicks post here. The problem with this thinking is that it sets the person up for delusion.
If a person begins with a belief in Allah and looks for coincidences and miracles he will find things that could be perceived…[Read more]

Can someone tell nick that I would still like to know how to make a signature that explains all the reasons why I no longer respond to him.

Nick, how do I make a signature?

Hi Miia,

I guess he is checking his shattered evidence for God being some sort of Babylonian trinity.

It may take a while.

Okay, I’ve only made about 2500 anti-Trinitarian posts.
And, I haven’t mentioned the trinity for like 2 years.
So obviously in nicks mind, I am sad that my (and his) “evidence for God being some sort of Babylonian…[Read more]

Who said I joined them.

So you went to a anti-JW website to accurately educate yourself on them. Need I say more?.. probably.. Again…SCRIPTURES.. Not anti-JW websites. What are their teachings today…the day you slander them.. I gave you their current teaching of 1914, not one from 104 years ago..104 YEARS AGO???..Every religion has changed it’s beliefs in one way o…

UMB5, I was getting to the root of the problem – which is the JW teachings.

I want you to imagine for a second that I a a magician, who spent the last 30 years looking for actual genuine miracles. Along the way I studied how people fake miracles of every sort and how easily people are deceived and how they want to deceive themselves. We w…[Read more]

however, you say you don’t like those who attack a group of people when the very group that you here are defending claim that all other people (i.e., non Jehovah Witnesses) are not in truth and will be utterly destroyed (see quotes below). i do not usually attack other beliefs. i was merely trying to help David. David replied to an old post of m…

I didn’t call “all others on this thread mentally ill.” I pointed out some of the cognitive distortions associated with mental illness that I have been noticing lately.

You say that society or time was set up so women would have a choice.

What is it called when women don’t choose tor want to have sex but are forced to?

As far as I know God never sanctioned rape or sex-slavery.

Some people call it institutional rape.

If ordered to go and kill all the men and children but keep the young girls or virgins for themselves, who were made to be their wives, and not by choice, this today we would call INstitutionized rape.

Your family and husband have just been…[Read more]
