i believe in jesus christ the son of god conceived of the virgin mary and who is one and the same as the father and the holy spirit, and through him all things where created.

i believe that he was crucified as a perfect sacrifice for our sins and on the third day rose from the dead and later ascended in heaven.

it is through jesus christ that we enter the kingdom of heaven and there is no lack of space in heaven.

lets say that i write a book today. this book will say that the world will end 'soon' in an unspecified fashion. you will know when the end is drawing close because of the pudding. it won't explain what is meant by 'pudding', just that pudding would somehow be involved. my book will also say that many will not believe in the upcoming pudding calamity. these unbelievers will say, "'There has never been a pudding calamity before, there will NEVER be one!'...WOE TO THOSE THAT DO NOT HEED THE PUDDING WARNING!!!" the book will go on will insinuate that those that do not believe in the impending pudding inspired doom are simply blinded by evil forces and need to put more faith in the "Unspecified Controllers of the Pudding."

you would probably call the book ludicrous and the predictions lunacy. ah, then you have PROVEN that i am a prophet because i said very clearly that some would not believe!

of course, you can see my dilemma with the bible.

But, doogie!!! By then it will be too late!!! Wake up, doogster! The world is headed for disasters!!!

yeah, that's the clever little bit of it, eh? be just vague enough to never be proven wrong. except, the other side is you'll never be proven right either. unverifiable and unfalsifiable. clever, but i'm not buyin.

God's prophets are into prediction, man

...and if you can name one end of the world prediction that has actually come true, i'm sure abaddon would be glad to retract his statement. until then, "lunatic" seems to apply.

your JW experience hides something deeper

by seesthesky in

as odd as this may sound i believe that your continual struggle with your past life as a jw is in fact a cover for something else - i do not know what that something else is but i am almost 100 percent certain that somehow someone or something has used your jw experience to disguise some greater violation of your souls - any thoughts?

"your continual struggle with your past life as a jw is in fact a cover for something else" - this struggle it seems is not unique but manifests itself in various way - i.e., people struggle deeply with various aspects of themselves on all sorts of matters - such matters include phobias, hatreds, obsessions and so on - and it seems that these struggles with the immediate represent something greater, perhaps something spiritual, something we rarely understand because we are essentially physical

ah. i think i see what you're getting at. and it could likewise be said that individuals with a propensity for offering unsolicited, intimate counsel to strangers may very well be dealing with some deep, unrelated, emotional struggle as well. perhaps the counsel offered, while on the surface appearing to be directed towards an outside audience is actually a manifestation of the subconcious trying to work through these very same personal issues itself. no?

Do you miss feeling that "Jehovah" was listening to prayers?

friends

this is hard to explain, but i will try.

the other day, my neice was put in the hospital for test , after having two seizures, she is 20 and has never had any medical problems at all.

i now know, that by doing that it seemed to take the burden of helplessness off of my shoulders.

Wander I am happy right where i am at. In the safety of Jehovahs Organization. I am the one responsible for my life, i do not put it in anyones hands but my own thank you.

then what the hell are you doing here?! oh right, service time. by the way, is someone telling you to turn in a field service slip every month or did you come to that conclusion through your own study of the bible? i hate to say it, but you are led by the hand to your beliefs.

what is your motivation for coming here? love and concern? jus wonderin...

I have in recent months been called by my Father God to research various cults that are operating in the world today
