Mary--Perpetual Virgin?
by sinamongurl in

2. beliefs
i read an excerpt from the book of mary stating that she was a perpetual virgin....joseph was quite up in age and was a widower with children, but was a god-fearing man and so did not sleep with her and kept her chastity...the only reason she was married was because that was apparently the law back then....so "thru god" he was chosen to take care of mary and jesus....apparently he did not have a long life after raising jesus.

jesus was born in a cave and later when everyone was called to their birthplace...joseph, mary, and family all went to bethlehem...with no room in the inn they were in the stables but jesus was already born by then and quite possibly no longer an infant.

this is very interesting to me because i was taught that mary did not stay a virgin (jw teachings) cause the bible mentions that jesus had brothers and sister, but this very well could have been josephs children from a previous marriage.... the excerpt came from a book called "lost books of the bible" by rh value publishing.

hey!!!

i know how opinionated you all are so dont kill me....just wanted to bring up an interesting thought i had.....not that this necessarily shows my beliefs, but in an effort to still try to find myself and discover the truth, it is something i have been pondering for quite some time now.....

so, if the only law we need to follow is to show love to one another.....

JWs--cult or am i just bitter?

1. watchtower
2. beliefs
after reading many experiences and comments on the board, i have begun to have questions.

questions that i really didnt know i until i read them.

as a recently df'd person, i am still struggling with whether jws are really a cult or is it just that im bitter for being torn away from the only thing that i knew, where i had friends that i thought loved me.

Christian astrology--is there such a thing?
by sinamongurl in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
although i consider myself to be christian, i am very much interested in astrology and the study of its affects on us.

i belive it is a science, however according to some of our previous and current beliefs, this is a no-no.

i was wondering if anyone else has an interest in this and how much of a conflict it really is with christianity?.
