  And besides all of that the scriptures clearly say that God hears all and knows all and reads us by our hearts. He hears all prayers but only answers yes or no in his own due time. God is the creator of us and not us the creator of God. It is also read in the scriptures that if you go through the Christ all things reach the God.

  Wait a darn minute here, theres something missing in that qoute gumby. It should say baptised JW's...

  So I guess with their own words anyone who is baptised ? They did'nt qoute themselves as being the only ones capable of such......

  Defd,

  Aside from belief in a higher power it is a natural instinct for survival even in the animal kingdom it is natural instinct for survival. So how the heck can you say that ?

  I remember the elder that was studing with me told me one day while we were out knocking on doors one day, he said to me " You can't get Jehovahs spirit unless you are out knocking on doors" I thought okay well I have been knocking on doors for some time now and howcome I don't feel Jehovahs spirit then. ? As I sat here and read this thread I began to think back when I was involved, did I really feel Gods presence while I was in ? To be perfectly honest ? NO I did not feel a personal relationship with God while being a witness.

  Now that I have found the truth in Christ and attend a nice friendly church I feel Gods presence all the time. I can actually feel his spirit often. That is an awesome feeling when you feel Gods Holy Spirit and is something that is faked inside the WTBS.

  Defd,

  Question ? What would you do if you were caught here at JWD by your elders ? What would you say to them and how would you act ? Because I know for a fact that if you were caught coming to this site you would be on the Elders hit list.

  LOOKS OR PERSONALITY?

  by Mary in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  ok, if you had to choose between looks and personality, which wins?

  guys: if a girl is only mediocre in the looks department but is absolutely fab-u-lous in the personality dept...........which is more important to you?

  or are they equally important?

  Am I afraid to die ? No not at all, dying is easy. Staying alive is hard.

  I darn near died 8 years ago from a brain anyuerism and I held my fathers hand when he died in a car wreck. It seemed pretty easy for him to leave. Besides all that I have a hope and a freedom in Christ Jesus. All my questions and fears are covered in Christ blood. NO FEAR !!!!

  As far as dying young or old, doesn't matter really. If it's your time, it's your time......
