Does the Bible scare anyone else here sometimes?

2. bible
maybe i'm just messed up, but i get really freaked out sometimes.

i can't understand the bible,.....in some places it seems like it's saying all you have to do is one or two things, then it seems like it's saying you have to do different things to be saved.... so many different people and religions have so many different takes on the bible.

i don't know which to beleive, and it scares me that if i beleived the wrong thing that i could go to hell, or just go to sleep forever as the witnesses say.

i have read the topic "no trespassing..." and can't keep frm asking "are you afraid of dialogue?".

i thought we were in america where we have freedom of speech, i have the freedom to approach my nieghbor oin conversation and he has the right to either continue the discussion or say "not interested" .

this whole thing about wanting to erect signs seem to cut off the freedom of speech that america says it prides itelf on...what happened?

hey y'all.

the thread (via free minds) on "the real truth facing aging witnesses" has me back on one of my old topics.

namely, that full-time sales people, administrative and factory workers of a religious publishing company must be provided for when they retire - and i believe they should be paid minimum wage to boot!

since joining the board and doing research, i have found out so many things about the organization and feel no longer compelled to preach or go to meetings.

my friends are not taking me missing meetings well, things are not going to be fun.

but this is my decision and i plan to fade away, because of this decision it leaves me with so many unanswered questions...... which bible is viewed as the most accurate?.

in another thread, there is a discussion about young people leaving the jws at a rate of something like 88%.

we see the rules given to the sheep for raising their children and we shake our heads saying, dont they get it?

what is wrong with the org that it cant see how they are treating the youth?
