Undaunted I read the article about Prince, as if HE would ever get disfellowshipped... I heard the lyrics to one of his other "goody-goody" songs and was shocked. I guess even if he does slip a word in or two he won't get df'd because of all the publicity about him being a JW. Just like Venus and Serena running around the tennis court carrying the flag...anyone else would have been pulled in somebody's committee room...

Trinity
by XBEHERE ini still dont believe in the trinity doctrine completely.

I'm confused about the Trinity also and my scripture I like to use is John 1:1. In the beginning was THE WORD, and THE WORD was WITH GOD, and THE WORD WAS A GOD..(as it reads in NWt)..so my question is if THE WORD is supposed to be JESUS...and this scripture is saying he was A GOD...how does this go along with other scriptures that says Jehovah is the ONLY TRUE GOD????

Banned From the Bible
by Sweetp0985 ini may be late in seeing this special on the history channel, but did anyone else see this show.
it was about books being banned from the bible that further explains events that may or may not have happened the way it is written in the bible.
this show peaked my curiousity and i went to the library and found the book who wrote the bible?

Do you believe the Bible is the inspired word of God?

Yeah Bryan I was wondering along those same lines also. No where in the bible does it speak of dinosaurs or cavemen. I don't believe Adam/Eve were cave people but scientific evidence gives proof that they existed, so where do they actually fit into this timelime after adam/eve??? or somewhere before adam/eve???

Strange Exodus - Second Installment
by Frannie Banannie injuly, 1988. .
i had a dream/vision........i call it this because in many instances, the visions related in the scriptures were actually profound dreams that turned out to be prophetic in nature.
i was living in a subsidized government housing project at the time.....and i dreamed one night that i was walking down the sidewalk there from my car in the parking lot to my apartment when suddenly a small black man approached me out of the dark and stabbed me to death....(ie; i was killed by him)....instead of falling to the ground or sidewalk, i looked up to the sky.....i was searching for the lord....i expected him to "meet" me upon my death, you see.....but all i observed were dark clouds all around....clouds and more clouds.....no jesus, as expected.....when i awakened, i was puzzled....the dream had been very profound and i didn?t view it as just a dream....i saw it as predictive of something to come.....my death....but i wondered why i was still alive.....and why didn?t the lord meet me as promised in the scriptures.....somehow i knew that the little "black man" was called israel....and the clouds played an important part, too.....and i knew that the dream was metaphorical in nature......it was both metaphorical and prophetic, as things later turned out.. .

Jehovah blesses his faithful cult members
by Nosferatu inremember when something good would happen to you, and another jw would say, "well, jehovah has surely blessed you!
" when i was on my way out, that really used to piss me off since i knew it was all crap.
no, jehovah didn't bless me by letting me find five bucks on the ground.. my mother told me, long after i left that jehovah must still be blessing me.

He's blessed me more since I've been out of the borg then when I was in it. Most recently he blessed me with a new car, being accepted into a major college ONLY 10 years after graduating high school (I know he's the only one that got me in there), and just many other things that every day I have to thank him.
My question to one of the elders recently was how come Jehovah is still blessing me if I'm supposedly so bad and unrepentant and evil and NOT a JW. His answer was God still makes it rain on good and bad. But my thoughts are since JW is the only true religion why does he continue to bless people that are not a JW?

I'm confused. I know some of it may be, but how much has been changed by men that's what causes the confusion.

Do you believe in God?
by XBEHERE inafter reading the wt for last week's lesson on god's creative works i couldnt help but think that there really is a god, there has to be.
i dont want to start a creation vs. evolution debate but you have to agree that its an extremely remote chance that the whole universe, the planets, stars, the sun, the earth, the animals, humans came about by accident.
i mean, what the chances really.

I believe in God but my only question to him is why does he allow all this suffering in the world. Like my brother said one day (in layman terms) Why is God allowing all the badness in the world for a bet to Satan? I thought about that and wondered the same. Like in Job's case, God allowed him to be tested almost to death to prove a point to Satan. Like now, God is allowing Satan to try to get as many people as he can to follow him so that in the Great Tribulation/Armageddon he can destroy all the ones that followed Satan. Why test us imperfect humans like that. God already knows what the outcome is gonna be so just go ahead and end it already. I say this prayer often that even if I'm not one of the chosen ones to make it into ???heaven??? or stay here on earth in ???paradise??? then for the ones that are being faithful to you whomever they may be to go ahead and bring the New System for their sakes.
