  often the wt claims that the writer of job believed in the resurrection doctrine as espoused by the jws.

  the usual verses lifted from context are 14:13-15 which says: .

  if only you would set me a time .

  Yup, but it is made to sound like it is in conjunction with their birthdays.

  My bad, Job wasn't at the celebrations, all his kids were, but he does call them and offer gifts after such feasts.

  -if ever in your mind you wonder as to whether the leadership at watchtower has some level of sincerity, or perhaps as you move deeper into your pursuit of the real truth, you find yourself having doubts that you are doing the right thing in "doubting" the watchtower ?then read on.

  Great thread guys.....

  Ok, if God hardened Pharaoh?s heart, where was Pharaoh?s free will? Did he have a chance? Was God using him to prove how tough he is? What about all the deaths the plagues may have caused? When I was under control it seems like a great story showing God?s mercy and giving Pharaoh chances to turn around. But now I see it a bit more clearly?.Pharaoh didn?t have chance, God wouldn?t allow him to turn, even if he wanted to. The more I read and study the Bible?.the less sense it?s starting to make?..

  Peacefullpete, your not supposed to read the context, what?s wrong with you? Job is a pretty interesting book; here?s a thought, what of followers of God hold to local traditions and/or customs? Here?s what I mean, the book says that Job was the greatest of all the Orientals, what if his customs differed from Middle Eastern customs, where most of the Bible takes place? In the opening verses of Job it mentions Job celebrating birthdays with is children. This may explain his seemingly different opinion on the resurrection. Different location, different views but still a "faithful" one. Just me thinking??..

  I've got 2 friends there now, they keep telling me it's amazing what the news isn't reporting. I guess in the media, bad news is news and good news is no news.

  That person needs the truth!?!?

  when ever jw?s hear of a person falling on hard times or personal tragedy the response seems to be, ?that person really needs the truth!?

  that always seemed to bug me.

  so happy people with things going good, don?t need the truth?

  What good bible wisdoms do you know?

  by Bas in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i'm not much of a bible expert myself so i was wondering what good bible/jesus wisdoms do you know?

  things that can help you in daily life by keeping them in the back of your mind.

  also i'm not looking for cliche's that everyone knows regardless if they ever opened the bible, more like philosophical wisdoms that even atheists should know.

So happy people with things going good, don?t need the truth? I?m just venting but that seems to go hand in hand with the thought that they pray on the weak and frail ones, people searching for anything that makes them feel better, a utopia. Your thoughts on this or anything else that ticks you off.

  ...then you thought wrong.

  richard wolf, an elder in the north salt lake congregation of the jehovah's witnesses, enjoys an occasional visit to the strip.. wolf joins other salt lake valley religious leaders in saying it's possible to stay true to one's principles in sin city ?

  and be prepared to be vigilant.. "i think they need to protect their spiritual life," said the rev.
