  What is truth?

  well, i have been lurking on this site for several months and i recently decided to join as a member.

  i have made several observations and would like to make a few comments.. first, i am perplexed by the attitude of many on this site that are either former or active (but apostate) jws.

  they seem to have a strong hatred for the wts and also for rank and file jws.

  ALL religions are a cult. Christians worship Jesus (or Mary)

  You did not say ALL "Christians" so your statement is not all false. JW do not worship Jesus but view Jesus same as Jews viewed King David for example but even higher than that believing that Jesus is the" Messiah" so JW love and respect and esteem Jesus in is his Messianic role," the chief agent of life," without worshiping him understating that he is inferior to God (God does not assume the role of Messiah otherwise the messiah would be self anointed ).and appreciate his loyalty and devotion and obedience to Jehovah, as a fellow creature and also because of Jesus' self sacrifice that resulted in human salvation.

  Getting back to truth, "Truth that leads to eternal life" is a book that contained the truth back in time but today a lot of that information is no longer the truth, hence truth is not what people think the Bible says, however, truth is God's promises that never change and will be fulfilled when the time comes. -Revelation 21:4,5

  happened to have his wishes met,

  That is what you see?! You are not looking at what I wrote.

  Although evidence from God is a basis for hope, you would still need to be able to think (that requires faith) though to understand and to be able to see that hope realize someday; However, such striking proof is not the actual realization of some hope or answer to all of your prayers, it is only a guarantee that hope is plausible.

  A sincere message to those from the organisation monitoring my posts....

  by stuckinarut2 in

  so, i know there are some from my congregation or from bethel who monitor my posts..... maybe you're looking for something to catch me out?.

  just a question: rather than trying to find fault with me, have you stopped and looked into the issues or facts about the organisation that caused me to come to a place like this forum??.

  facts are there for anyone to find nowadays....one just has to be willing to pull their head out of the sand.....

  WT officials browse the web and extract information from websites that concerns them. They do not monitor any activity of any individual on any website including this one. Not even on a local level is any WT "appointee" authorized to follow or monitor anyone.

  My life experience tells me there's no one there.

  POI mine does and believe me I have suffered more than most. When people tell me that God has not given them any evidence to base their faith upon, I am dumbfounded. God gives solid evidence to people to experience so they can put their mind at ease and have hope -at least that is what I have personally experienced and I am not any more special than anyone.

  POI, I cannot bear even to think about such things -let alone watch a video! God will have to provide reasons one day. Same as you feel, I do not know if I would be able to accept those reasons, at least when I think about it now I cannot understand, and figure that there cannot be any justification from my sense of good and bad but i have chosen to trust and put my good faith in God and wait for his explanation. I just cannot believe that he is to blame. I trust him with my life. I will wait and see what He has to say and then I will see if my heart can accept it. Deep in my heart, I just know that he is innocent..

  -----If he was a loving creator......

  You are attempting to measure God with your ruler. Even then, it is not just to convict anyone without having all of the facts and especially without having the patience to listen to the defense's side.

  I like the NWT rbi8. I think that it is a magnificent masterpiece ( but what do I know ) and read it same as I would a poem. I really enjoyed its allusive literary style, and mastery of the English language it uses to interpret the translation. The NWT highlights by its style of writing that the text refers to more than the context.

  Evidence of Human Activity in Northern Siberia 45,000 years ago.

  by fulltimestudent in

  1. social
  2. current

  this information makes the biblical dating of human origins a sad joke.

  quote: " when they dated the remains, the researchers got another surprise: the mammoth died 45,000 years ago.

  that means that humans lived in the arctic more than 10,000 years earlier than scientists believed, according to a new study.

  Your argument is not a proof. It is only an argument that purports to show your formula to work.
