sorry, just kiddin. carry on...
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.

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?
(edited because i can't spell for crap)
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
another person with a direct line to god. you can probably move on bud. we already have a few of those on this board. i think we're set.

oh lord...not another one. is it something in the water?
a few days ago we had snow in colorado.
i was walking in from outside and i mentioned to an employee who i know is a witness that; "boy this is some crazy weather huh?.
his comment was "what does the bible say".
maybe he was just asking because he truly doesn't know what it says? does he know how to read?
he was probably just claiming that the weather was a product of man damaging the environment. that's going to be my new thing...whenever anyone tells me anything i'll just say, "well...you know what the bible says..." and i'll just kind of raise my eyebrows and nod.

Ok Tsu, I changed my mind. I dare you. Be cool and crazy and wild. Knock yourself out.
hahaha. it's been awhile since i was in high school, but i think you might be on to something here (at least the crazy and wild part...)
firstly let me say that i am not trying to offend believers - i was one for most of my life.
nor is this a discussion about whether god/religion is a 'good' or 'bad' thing, that argument will rage forever.
what i'm asking is really a simple question;.
So long as their is mysery there will be a "god".
i know what you mean, but at first i thought you were saying 'as long as there is mystery, there will be god.' i actually believe this. there will always be disasters (and death and misery), but i think (relatively) few people in florida last year really believed that a god was punishing them with hurricanes. as long as people don't know WHY disasters happen (esp natural ones) they will rely on the "god did it" explanation.

yes. i've felt that way for awhile. religion and god in general have occupied a smaller and smaller place in society as history has moved forward. sure, there will be little spurts of fanatacism here and there (like right now) but i think that there will come a day LOOOOOONG after we're gone when the concept that we hold of 'god' is only described in history books.
