Real one------Yes they are in the Bible, you can take any word out of the Bible and turn it around and make it what you want it to be.

But that don't make it right to be calling people on the board names. The Bible tell you a stories about 2 Daughters slept

with there Dad, so are you going to tell people its OK to sleep with there Dad, Mother, Sister and Brother. There are more

storyies like that, it does't make it right.

real one

im going to pray for you Barbie

God Bless You!

There are many people that are going to die and be tortured forever. God does not want that to happen.

God is omnipotent. God invented the whole system of people dying and being tortured forever. He made up the criteria for judging people that was narrow enough that only few would find it or be able to follow it. It's his game and he made up the rules. So, I would have to say that God absolutely does want that to happen. If he didn't want many people to die and be tortured forever, he wouldn't have made it a major part of his game plan!

Alternative theory: People find other people who are different from them and do not share their values to be very scary. It makes their own sense of safety and security in the "rightness" of their beliefs and behaviours feel very uncertain. People don't like to feel scared and uncertain about themselves, their behaviours, or their future. So their need to be rewarded for being "right" is very strong. Conversely, their need for those who are different (wrong) to die and be punished forever is equally as strong. So strong in fact, that they constructed an omnipotent God who will carry out this wish for them.

This is similiar to the security a child finds in their belief in an imaginary friend who will be their friend and agree with them no matter who else excludes them. The survival need for "group" is so strong in our species. Of course, in order to have an "in group", there must also be an "out group".

Homerovah the Almighty

The human imagination can believed just about anything if it wills itself so, as others have stated inner fear is a protagonist to beliefs when it is placed in the sub-conscience

mind and the marketers of the WTS have known that for decades. There two parts to organized religion one are the people who seek answers and direction for themselves and the other

part are the people that are willing to offer that direction, the bible is just that medium that can accomplish that very effort.

History has shown us that the belief in gods or a god were mainly structured and developed on the basis of human ignorance or the lack of knowledge of the world we live in.

In a counter balance to that known ignorance, scientific discovery and established facts derived from those discoveries has swayed modern man to stop thinking that there are

invisible but powerful spirits swarming around causing climactic damage to humans and inciting fear to the detriment to the population. It does seem to me and probably many

others thats it's better for man to live in a world of continuing knowledge and to work with this knowledge with the intent to better the human experience. It also seems in an

unfortunate way that religious men like the JWS. have utilized and exploited that ancient ignorance and fear to cultivate their own source of power and control, negating the advancement

of man to better his existence along with it. So the question we have to ask are selfs would it be better to let the gods or the men that say they are gods governed and control us or are we

better off to do it are selfs ?

My vote is on the humans !

because they really want to believe they are right and their god is going to gallop in and save the day **add in crashendo music** one or two scriptures are used to prove their point and yet when shown other scriptures out of their very bible that tell them to mind their own business, they don't get it (very witness like)

I too am a Christian and I don't like the way realone is preaching on this site. I have pm'ed him and offered some advise but he turned on me questioning my faith. I think he will learn the hard way that you cannot cram your beliefs down people throats. I wish he would go preach somewhere else cause his giving not only all Christians a bad name but his giving Christ a bad name too. So sad.

here we go again. i am just quoting scripture! why do ppl keep saying im judging?

Well, you've been sticking to the nasty, judgemental scriptures. No wonder people think you have it out for them. Barbie Doll, for instance, is a friendly, helpful person who has been patiently trying to point out your error. Your response? You'll pray for her. I got the same response from a fellow Christian who also happened to be a neglectful mom. When I told her I would no longer help her because she was mistreating her children, she said, "I will pray for you." Now what was that all about?

No-one will listen to you until you have first broken bread with them, listened to them, and helped them. That's what Jesus did. Go and do so likewise.

Here's some other scriptures worthy of quoting.

1Jo 4:18

There is no fear in love ; but perfect love casteth out fear : because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love .

1 Cr 13:1 If I could speak in any language in heaven or on earth but didn't love others, I would only be making meaningless noise like a loud gong or a clanging cymbal.

Rom 13:8

Owe no man any thing, but to love one another : for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law.

Gal 5:13

For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only [use] not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another .
