Yes, if you then go and search all the possible answers and then pick the one that is best.

Animals didn't sin so why do they kill each other?

by Spectrum in

how does a benevolent and loving god explain away his ecological system whose very persistence relies on the killing and suffering of animals that have fear and pain receptors and know when they are about to get it?

.

can the personilaty attributes religions have given this god be reconciled with his creation?

moomanchu

If only Jehovah could have created some really fast growing vegetation we wouldn't be in this predicament.

I think he wanted it this way all along. He liked abels animal sacrifice didn't he?

Are the 144000 Virgins or not?

by SickofLies in

rev 14:3 and they sang a new song before the throne and before the four living creatures and the elders.

these were redeemed by jesus from among men, the first fruits to god and to the lamb.

these are they who with women were not defiled, for they are virgin; these are they who are following the lamb whithersoever he may go; these were bought from among men -- a first-fruit to god and to the lamb -- (ylt).

The Rev. book speaks of spiritual adultery.

"What characterizes this class is a spiritual virginity they have avoided spiritual adultery with worldly politics and with false religon."

Using their screwed up reasoning,

What about spiritual sex with the WTBS whom they love to get it from uh huh.

Really to be a spiritual virginity would mean no spirituality,

but they add the adultery part and so the spin begins.

Sexual virginity means no sex period. adultery, within marriage, or anything.

Thanks hellrider,

But I didn't see an explanation of "being in paradise today" which makes me wonder if the JW's do

have it right.

Memorial annual event?

by moomanchu in

yesterday i was talking with a co-worker about another co-worker who is a jw.. i told him wed was a big deal for the jw's because it is the only day they recognize to celebrate.. he asked me why they only celebrate it once a year.

i told him it's because it was the annual .

passover that jesus was celebrating and they are continuing the memorial as an annual event,.

moggy lover,

like the analogy.

I went to a church with a friend and they had communion. It was a good experience. I actually partook of the wine ( grape juice) and bread. When you do that it really personalizes it and really makes think.Gives you a much greater appreciation for the sacrifice.

It was really interesting the way it was all handled I think the service was more solemn and respectful then the witness thing.

Will the robber be with Jesus in heavenly paradise? I don't recall heaven being refered to by JW's as paradise.

Yesterday I was talking with a co-worker about another co-worker who is a JW.

I told him wed was a big deal for the jw's because it is the only day they recognize to celebrate.

He asked me why they only celebrate it once a year. I told him it's because it was the annual

passover that jesus was celebrating and they are continuing the memorial as an annual event,

and its the only day recognized in the bible where it says keep doing this.

His comment then was "why do they attend all the meetings and assembies they do, it's not mentioned

in the bible how often to do that".

I had no reply.

Also the jw co-worker asked me if I went to the memorial, I said "no", he said "I see" with a perplexed look on his face. I then asked him if he went, he respond "of course" laughing. That was the end of that

discusion.

Thought I'd share

Doesn't #1 sound like yesterday Jesus wasn't telling the truth
and he hasn't made up his mind about tomorrow.
