  Why Do You or Don't You Believe In The Bible?

  by minimus in

  do you believe in the bible just because you were raised to believe?

  are you sure it's "believable"?

  .....have you convinced yourself the bible is just another book?

  Funny FS experiences

  by Effervescent in

  1. social
  2. humour

  i was just watching an old rerun of "the nanny" where frans mom talks about trying to put spice into her marriage by meeting her husband at the door naked.

  fran makes a face and her mother says "meanwhile you'll never see jehovah's witnesses in the building again".

  i remember hearing funny stories about people coming to the door naked etc, but nothing quite that interesting happened to me.

  hey all,.

  i am currently studying the topic of intelligent design (id).

  MOSES AND THE COPPER SERPENT......mysterious!

  by Terry in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  isn't it odd; even mysterious that christians think jesus could be represented by a serpent?

  numbers 21:8 and the lord said unto moses, make thee a fiery serpent, and set it upon a pole: and it shall come to pass, that every one that is bitten, when he looketh upon it, shall live.

  21:9 and moses made a serpent of brass, and put it upon a pole, and it came to pass, that if a serpent had bitten any man, when he beheld the serpent of brass, he lived.

  CULT CULT CULT

  by minimus in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i have read many opinions about jw's being a cult.a dictionary describes cult as a system of religious beliefs and ritual .. some have viewed even major religions as a cult, such as the roman catholic church.based upon webster almost anybody or anything that is viewed as ritualistic could be said to be cultic.when someone tries to negate jehovah's witnesses by using.

  the "cult" word, i believe they are not seeing that many others could legitimately be regarded as a cult or at least "cultic".therefore the word loses alot of meaning.

  some have said that the watchtower is a cult because of the control factor.

  joseph smith or rutherford??????.

  i mean rutherford wrote some weird stuff and lots of it, i personnally find his writings hilarious..."the list" is a laugh a minute!..

  but surely ol' rutherford never wrote something as weird as the quote below by joseph smith the mormon prophet?.

  The three wise men

  by Simon in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  just a thought.... looking through the greatest man book, something just occurred to me which i can't recall has ever been highlighted (but please correct me).. i always thought it a bit strange that jehovah allowed the three pagan astrologers to find jesus especially as they were obviously guided to him by satan's star (remember they were led to herod first who wanted to kill the messiah).

  what purpose did it serve?.

  well, a few pages earlier in tgm book, we see mary presenting a dove as a sin offering at the temple - this was the cheapest offering that was acceptable which must have meant that they were pretty poor at the time.. shortly after the three wise men visited the family had to flee to egypt when herod started to kill all the young boys in an attempt to kill jesus.. what would they need to travel and live as exiles for a couple of years?.
