*** job 1:4-5 ***

4 and his sons went and held a banquet at the house of each one on his own day; and they sent and invited their three sisters to eat and drink with them.

5 and it would occur that when the banquet days had gone round the circuit, job would send and sanctify them; and he got up early in the morning and offered up burnt sacrifices according to the number of all of them; for, said job, ?maybe my sons have sinned and have cursed god in their heart.?

I don't see what the wts have against birthdays!!!
There is nothing pagan about it!
Our birthday is all about celebrating our birth if anything i'm sure it would consider to be an honour to god/jehovah
because he created us and he would love to see people gather together in celebration on your special day.
I dare one of you jw's to walk up to an elder and say "happy birthday!" on his b-day!
If the elder asks if your actions are rependant say it would be for a year!
If you get marked its worth it to just see the twisted expression on the elders face! it would be priceless!
To everyone whos b-day is on today 19/4 I would Like to say one thing.... HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!

If you were God ,The Creator of all things, how would you handle rebellion?

so many times we second guess god or our conception of him and we discuss why this or that does not make sense or could not be, or is not fair.. then how would you if you were god (with unlimited power) handle rebellion?

Ok so you left the idea of God - what would it take to come back?

one point that has played many times on my mind (and is fairly central to my world view) is that if god exists its up to him to prove it.

what would it take for you to accept god?

Well said lehaa
No one can really prove Whether there is or isn't a god. So i'll just conclude it at that
Look deep in your heart and just follow what you believe in, remember to look out for signs.
just remember if you ever want to return to god (and I know most of you don't want to)
God/Jehovah is there with open arms waiting for you to come back quick to forgiveness like the parable of the prodical son.
If you want help with your faith then go to,
bbs.crystalcathedral.org click on enter one community then click on share and care. Its a christian forum.
The people there are very nice and understanding.
Or go to www.newhopenow.com and talk to a christian counsellor.
I don't want to force people into doing things they don't want to do, and I don't like shoving religion down peoples throats.
You all have the free will to reject or accept gods grace.
I'm sorry if I caused any offence. My peace be with you all

The bible has been around for a long time and came from history that people have written down as true experiances
The bible is like a golden artifact, it is historical and contains Historical evidence.
The day after tomorrow is a recently released movie that is oviously fiction and was only made for entertainment purposes.
God gives you more than a doller, He gives you eternal salvation, he gives us peace and guidance. If we invite him into our lives
Would someone just make up the bible and claim it to be true? What about all the things that the historians have discovered?
What caused the big bang? their would of been some force that sparked it off
If you feel that god is not answering your prayers then go to bbs.crystalcathedral.org
Debate with them on this issue if you want a more in depth response

God doesn't take a peice of you he gives you many blessings!
God gives you light and eternal salvation!
God doen't act with our eyes closed if we look hard enough we can see his works in our everyday lives see him create paths for you! many christians see that happen but those who shun him wont!
The tooth fairy is influenced by our parents God was infuenced by our ancestors! The belief of god has been around since the beginning!

The tooth fairy is a silly theory made just to entertain kids like santa claus and the easter bunny. The tooth fairy isn't even a religion.
God is from a religion!
Their are evidence from history of his existance eg. the bible.
Historians have also uncovered sites mentioned in the bible like the wedding a cana and where john the baptist baptised people.
Has the tooth fairy been worshipped since b.c? no it hasn't!
israel and jerusalem has been mentioned in the bible and such cities exist today
Religions offer the way god offers the way.
The tooth fairy just leaves a doller next to your bed.

The good news of the kingdom prevents suicide?
by JH in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
an elder once told me that many worldly people commit suicide because they don't know the good news of the kingdom.

with all the bad news in the world, he said, many just give up and don't want to keep on living.. personally, i know a few jw's who committed suicide.

it wasn't because they didn't know anything about the kingdom, but because they weren't happy being a jw.. i wonder if the jw's saved more people from suicide, with their good news, or did more people commit suicide because of them?

The jw religion, invite people in, chew them up and spit them out! Anything good about that?

DOES THE BIBLE CONTAIN ANY VALUABLE OR USEFUL FACTS AT ALL???
by Terry in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
fact: a statement or assertion of verified information about something that is the case or has happened

i've read the bible many times in many ways with many methods.

but, i don't really see in it any information that contains factual material that benefits anybody.
Evanescence

God works differently from us, he is very myserious and is byond human understanding.
The bible isn't full of medication tips! the bible is full of wistom and guidance.
everything turns out best for those who believe in god!
