  why do animals die?

  by doogie in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  if man dies because of inherited sin (as pretty much all bible based religions believe), why do animals die?.

  if sin is "falling short of god's will" and sin results in death, how have animals "fallen short" thus deserving death?

  if there was a dog messiah, would animals be redeemed as well?

  They die because they weren't baptized as a Jehovah's Witness...so they can't go door to door and tell about the goodness of Jehovah...so they die..along with all the other millions of people that die...

  Do all snakes go to hell because they were cursed???Are there even any animals in hell or heaven for that matter???/

  Yeah I know...I need to go...

  I would get ecstatic when the weather would get toooo bad for anyone to be one the road...Bad thunderstorms, etc. and they would cancel the meeting....Or one time the air went out and they deemed it too hot to have the meeting.....Next day in field service, some of the holier-than-thou sisters were complaining talking about why cancel the meeting because of no air...our brothers and sisters in Africa with no electricity do all they can to have a meeting with no air at all...Even at that tender age I truly wanted to say *itch shut the F*** up!!!!!

  If its good, God did it... if its bad Satan did it....

  i've read the bible and i don't recall satan himself actually ever doing anything evil or harmful... however i read many accounts where god killed or tormented countless thousands of people for arbitrary reasons.. aside from prophecies where jehover says that satan will hurt people in the future (hasn't happened yet, and no sign that it will happen), can anyone cite an example in the bible where satan actually harmed anyone?.

  Whew..silly me...I actually read ALL 7 pages...I guess I was intrigued......Anyway..my little thoughts on the matter is first of all...

  1. If God is all knowing, why was he walking through the Garden calling for A & E if he knew where they were already? Just a thought.

  2. Also if God is all knowing, (similiar to the thoughts about breeding the rabbits), why did he continue to let A & E breed? Because to my knowledge (I may be wrong) I have never read anywhere except for school books about dinosaurs and Cavemen, but it has been proven that they did exist. So if cavemen and dinosaurs came AFTER the first man and woman, why are they not mentioned in the Bible? If they came BEFORE A & E as some textbooks show( many more years ago than 6000) what happened to them? (Damn I'm confusing myself as I type this..its in my head but getting it out is the crucial part).....anyways what I'm saying is in the textbooks I always seen cavemen were always pictured as very non-intelligent in alot of ways. So maybe God wasn't too happy with humans, how they turned out looking and wiped them out along with the dinosaurs and started again with A & E...SO how are we to know (as someone else had mentioned) that we're not the 3rd, 4th, or maybe even 12th try...All i know is whenever people did something against Jehovah that was mentioned in the bible they were immediately punished in some way...The flood, Sodom and Gomarrah, Pharoah and his army...seems like to me any human that ever got in his way are messed up the plans was dealt with....Why doesn't he just deal with Satan the same way?

  3. Not picking on the book because I am still reading it and enjoying the overall message...but in A Purpose Driven Life...the book mentions that God knows about us before we are even conceived as to how our whole entire life is going to turn out due to him having a purpose for each and every life....so with that said...all the murderers, rapists, molesters...are they fulfilling their purpose? If he knows they are going to stray from his purpose why let them even come to be...Just to screw up someone else's purposelife?

  I have many more points but my brain has went into overload now..

  Are You SURE JWs Don't Have The Truth???

  I still sometimes beat myself up because of this, but lately I've finally come to the realization that if they do have the "truth" and I've been bad mouthing them...OH THE HELL WELL!!! I guess I'll be one of the ones falling into cracks like many of their infamous artists depictions of Armageddon. So if not being a JW means death..I guess I'm already dead so I'm trying to live life to the fullest..without all the headaches of having the JWBI(Jehovah's Witnesses Bureau of Investigations)elders after me all the time...

  Tigris and Euphrates rivers

  by undercover in

  2. beliefs

  something just hit me as i was reading the genesis account.. genesis chapter 2:.

  10 a river watering the garden flowed from eden; from there it was separated into four headwaters.

  11 the name of the first is the pishon; it winds through the entire land of havilah, where there is gold.

  VM44 what are you talking about???

  This also shows that the original writer(s) of Genesis did not know about the water cycle, and the origin of rivers.

  Don't you know that GOD/JEHOVAH inspired these original writer(s) of the bible, so how can they make a mistake like not knowing that water falls from the sky and not up from the ground. They just wrote the information they dreamt/was inspired to write down wrong..It was just a simple mistake..

  Society says,"The 144,000 are sinners and have made mistakes!

  by Blueblades in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  by permitting pressure and allowing his servants to come into new situations jehovah gets to know their motives and is able to select the 144,000 "sons" from the earth for his government.. the question is not: have these members always done the right thing?

  since they are sinners and have made mistakes.

  so, the society admits this in a public talk given 22 years ago!.

  I read somewhere where a "anointed" person took a blood transfusion and they weren't disfellowshipped for it...so was that considered a mistake or a sin??? Did they remain a part of the 144,000??

  i was speaking to a lady today who isnt a witness.

  she's a very intellegent, well educated and well travelled girl, and she tells me how much she enjoys reading the watchtower and awake.

  i said to her that she has to be joking, and she tells me that she she likes them a lot.

  i scan through them and sometimes read them to find out what they are changing because of "new light". Like i read the one about birthdays and they also had an article in the awake one time talking about fireworks. When i read this i only thought of really 2 occasions when fireworks are displayed in US and wondered why did they even do an article on them...like a JW will ever be able to enjoy them. Because dubs are not supposed to celebrate New Year's Eve and they don't celebrate July 4th either, so when would they see the fireworks.

  But on another note...i just through away a large stack of them yesterday when cleaning out my room....In some deep recess of my conscience the JW pieces still left were crying out,"NOOOO don't throw them away,", but guess what...I did it anyway.....
