well, my sil and best friend came to this site on my recommendation (jw).

i just wanted her to check it out without judgement as we have always been able to talk about everything.

she basically was disgusted, said it was full of crap and lies and would never look at it again.

WT 1/2005 questions from readers... :it is his angel ..acts 12:15

2. bible
i was wondering if anyone else has read this article in the watchtower ?.

here, someone is aking the question: upon hearing that the imprisoned peter was at the door, why did the disciples say: it is his angel ?

to my reasoning ...if it walks like a duck and quakes like a duck ....it is a duck.

Why isn't the WTS more direct in regards to "apostate" web sites?????????

i wonder why the wts does not specifically tell its hapless adherents to not go to apostate websites?

references as to what to beware of on the internet seem to be painted with broad strokes.

always first is pornography, then chat rooms.

JOB's children celebrating birthdays

1. watchtower
2. bible
can anyone give me their view on why the bible says that after job's children celebrated 'their day' he went out and made sacrafices to god in case they had sinned and cursed god in their hearts ?.

the first part is a great talking part especially regarding job being a rightous man but the latter tends to counter act it some how by impling that job thoughts were that birthdays were wrong, in gods eyes.

especially as he did this after every birthday, so i can't really debate that it was one off event that might have encured some wrong doing at one particular party........if you understand what i mean.. thanks for any iput.
