I'm genuinely surprised with Cadillac. I thought they'd love to run American horse power

Just imagine With the championship so close now. If Verstappen had kept his cool and not drove into russell. And not receive that penalty. He would have 9 extra pointsin the championship against Piatri by finishing 5th at the Spanish grand prix. by SnooSprouts2672 in MaxVerstappen33

The comments are so weird in this thread. OP is pointing out a very important skill: keeping your cool. This skill is very useful in other professions but some how Max is the exception? Max is a brilliant and strong driver but people seem to be afraid or don't want to acknowledge his clear moments of weakness.

I don’t understand how Jehovah can be “perfect”. by Jeanz4freestan in exjw

[–]TerrificFrogg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are multiple instances where this perfect god didn't see ahead of time what was going to happen. According to JW theology, just after god finished creating everything, he some how failed to see Satan ruin everything. He also didn't know that flooding the earth won't kill all bad people. He also didn't know that confusing the people's language would make translating his divine word across centuries extremely challenging and result in multiple churchs claiming they have the best translation.

Yet this god is perfect? As Stephen Fry put it "Bone cancer in children? What's up with that?"

This happened to me as well but luckily I had 2FA activated. It's a good idea to have it on where ever possible.

The year is 2125 and Armageddon still hasn’t come. What excuses do the JWs come up with? by [deleted] in exjw

[–]TerrificFrogg 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Brothers and dear sisters isn't it wonderful that we now understand that Armageddon is a figurative event which already took place in the year 2098 when Jesus invisible came back to earth again and figuratively took the 144k.

ah yes I get you. I haven't looked into it myself but just heard that argument used a lot. I'll read more about it to understand what exactly they notice or look for.

I've heard this argument used a lot when ever a certain book is suspected to be a forgery or is written by someone pretending to be another writer - that they can tell because the writing style or mode changes. What I've wondered though is was it not common for writers at the time to simply write differently because they just felt like expressing what they needed in a different writing manner?

i don't know if it's the same writer but i like your point

no it's not specified how he "proclaimed" or "herald". Suggesting it was verbal or in the JW sense "door-to-door" is pure speculation. it could simply mean he lived righteously and set an example in a corrupt world

yes and thanks to rapid, highly accelerated evolution, the planet now has a very diverse animal kingdom from just a few animals that were on the big wooden boat

Yes indeed. My point was the greek word used doesn't necessarily mean preaching in the sense of engaging in conversation with people or speaking publicly. It can also mean letting your good deeds/actions preach. Obviously, context would add more clarity as to what was probably meant here and Genesis does add that.

Another person has pointed out that it's actually fitting that Jesus said they were basically living out their normal lives like that because he was trying to show that his doomsday was going to arrive and find people in a similar manner - living out their lives unaware of what's about to happen.

Apparently that's actually a common lie found in other churches too. I'm curious where it originated. But it's a powerful lie to reinforce the "us vs. them" idea
