How did you find Jehovah's Witness meetings?
by Vanderhoven7 ini personally have only attended a handful of meetings at kingdom halls.
i did not enjoy any of them nor was i impressed by anything that was conveyed.
perhaps others did not find them boring as i did.. nadia viotto has this to say about her experience.

What would Jesus be doing?
by eyeslice inwould he be working on the massive audio/visual complex being built at ramapo?.
i overheard my wife listening to some update broadcast this morning and immediately thought would a true humanitarian such as jesus, mahatma gandhi or albert schweitzer be at all interested in such things?
these were 'people' persons not interesting in the stupid trappings of life.. if the gb were to sanction the building of hospitals, orphanages, refugee centers and the like, maybe we would have a little more respect for them but this ramapo project seems like a sense waste of time, energy and money.

If he is riding a white horse now as a conquering king, what do you figure he is conquering? Remember all the horsemen have been ongoing for over 108 years since the conquering goes on on the earth to completion. It figures that the the conquering has to do with the defeat of earth’s kings earth-wide. The JW teachings and activities moves forward and keeps growing. The preaching converts a lot of people. That is the whole purpose of the congregation, the preaching work. —Isaiah 6:10-12

Was Satan in Heaven while Christ was crucified?
by Sharpie injust a shower thought came to mind.. while jesus was nailed to the stake/cross (take your pick) because of the witnesses lack of belief in hell.
does that mean according to witness doctrine that satan and his demons were in heaven while jesus was being executed?.
what about after jesus went to heaven?

In Job, the Satan was in heaven. According to JW Bible interpretation, Satan was cast down from heaven later on (circa1914). Jesus prophetically saw Satan cast down from heaven. Satan had that kind of power to resist God in such a way that had Jesus killed, so he had to be in heaven at the time Jesus was put to death. -

Everyone believes whatever they like and sometimes that’s inconsequential but if salvation depends upon belief then you’d better choose the correct answer on the exam.

Jesus taught that works save - see the sheep and goats Matt. 25
Salvation has different facets. One aspect is work and another aspect is that slavation is a gift that cannot be earned or merited. Paul’s gospel was same as Jesus but he explained in such depth that requires understanding same as understanding John 1:1 and not jumping to conclusions about Jesus being God almighty. Need to understand what Paul is saying.

Weight Loss and Insulin Control
by cofty inask most fitness coaches, nutritionists or health professionals and they will tell you that weight control is about calories in versus calories out (cico).
after all, you can’t ignore the laws of thermodynamics!.
the flaw in this simplistic reasoning ought to be obvious; a human body and a steam engine are two different things.. our bodies have evolved complex systems of control and feedback loops in order to maintain a steady interior environment, also known as homeostasis.

Significant weight loss will definitely cause lowered blood glucose levels in some people —and exercise also helps for some people. You won’t know if it works for you until you personally try it. Important to remove lots of sugars like sodas cookies candies pastries from your diet. Use sugars in moderation, only very small amounts to sweeten tea for example is ok for some people. The drug glucophage is amazing. Send any money to me that you wish to spend on natural medicines and expesive snake oils. Glucophage is believed to sensitize your body again to insulin if you take it long enough and stop consuming all that sugar and regulate consumption of carbs and starches.
Sad to say, nothing helps for male pattern baldness except a wig or expensive cosmetic surgery

Why Do JW`s still use the Name Jehovah ,when they admitted in the Aid Book that it is not the correct pronunciation of his name ?
by smiddy3 inisn`t that an admittion that they don`t have the "truth" ?
about god ?.

The karaites today use the pronunciation yehovah as the name of God. Unlike rabbinical judaism, they dont hide the name of God and interestingly pronounce it like JW. There are no vowels in the ancient text and the pronunciation in hebrew was lost resulting from rabbinical superstition. However, Rabbinical Jews do say the name. I’ve heard a Satmar angrily say to a Lubavitcher: “Jehovah doesn’t belong to you!” I think that in Hebrew the divine name is pronounced: Ye’hovah.

Is it Logical To Beleive In A Creator - GOD ? In This Scientific Age ?
by smiddy3 ini don`t think so .
hasn`t science ,astronomy ,time , .....proven it an illogical beleif ?.
with the information about this solar system and it`s planets ,other stars and their planets that we have information about ,and the fact that no god has ever revealed him/her self in any shape or form 'there is no evidence that a creator / god has ever existed.. except in the minds of humans who want to control a section of humanity .. the fact that religions rely on "you have to have faith" to beleive in a god ,surely is a cop out.. i look forward to your comments .. and a happy new year to you all..

In other words, a god is necessary for the universe to make sense.
Not if the universe always existed—that is to say the substance of the universe and its properties which changes and transforms according to its drive. Now given the universe and then taking it away and creating a void for example to illustrate a condition without the universe, how then can the universe come to existence from that void. That is not logical. I’m not saying it is not possible but it doesn’t make sense. Miracles from God can’t be understood, that is to say the mechanics of it but since there is a mechanism that causes it —God, it makes sense.

All guesses and science fiction of the mind aka what happened before the big bang. We think in terms of the rules of reality as we know it. Logically though either the universe existed eternally or God existed eternally
