Who are Jehovah's Witnesses? Would you like to know?

Jehovah's Witnesses have been the focus of the vast majority and my studies in recent times, if you couldn't tell already ;-)

And my last post received some insightful comments that brought up some things that need to be considered. For example, are Jehovah's Witnesses Christians? If not, why not? Does one need to believe in the Trinity to be saved? Where do we draw the line?

But more so, many people don't know who Jehovah's Witnesses are. Where did they get their name? Why do they believe that only 144,000 go to heaven? Why don't they believe in hell?

So i'm asking all my readers; is this something that you are interested in? If so, why? Or does it even matter? Am I wasting my time with them? Should I move on to more important things? Should I write more blogs explaining how to answer their arguments? I need your opinions! Leave comments, write me messages; just let me know what you think!

The too often misunderstood...Salad Fingers

You are either gonna love it or hate it. He's really weird and really twisted. Yet he's kinda cute, I must admit. Let me know what you think of him.

Bad logic and...that's what she said

This guy, Ray Comfort, is going to be soon debating an atheist on the existence of God...without using the Bible (You can read about some of the details here). I don't want to get into why I think this is a really bad idea right now, but just wanted to show that if this guy uses the "banana" illustration, then...well, you be the judge of that.



A few things to note. First, "that's what she said." If you don't watch The Office on a regular basis or if you are a lot more mature than me, then you either won't get it or won't think its funny. But just for kicks, count how many "that's what she saids" and post a comment. And second of all, there are a few banana species or types that are near impossible to peel with your fingers. In fact, you have to cook them. According to Ray Comfort's logic, would this be evidence against God?

I don't know, I just think these are really bad arguments and only work for Christians. And maybe its because i'm a presuppositionalist and not an evidentialist. To say, "i'm not going to use the Bible," just means, "I'm going to temporarily abandon my presupposition and allow you to stack the deck."
