  Not Religon...not Belief....Not Inerrancy: INTERPRETATION is christianity

  by Terry in

  2. bible

  what the bible "says" isn't religion or doctrine or belief.. interpretation is.. proved how?.

  there is not just one christian church.. ask yourself "why?".

  here is a logic puzzle easily solved!.

  My own story.

  i'm a long time lurker, first time poster.

  i think i have a similar story to others who were brought up in the so called "truth" but after reading so many stories i thought i'd finally get around to writing mine:.

  like i said, i was raised into it and almost my entire immediate family where (and for the most part still are) serious members.

  Very good story. I wish I had been thinking clearer at 18. I was 32 before I finally realized that I had really never believed any of it, but simply went through the motions trying to convince myself that this stuff was real.

  Profits and Non-Prophets!

  by smmcroberts in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  have you ever heard of the weekly world news?

  it was a popular tabloid in the u.s. which sometimes made bible-based predictions, even setting dates for their fulfillment!

  does this sound like another magazine you might be more familiar with?

  What do you replace it with?

  by konceptual99 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  so... i am coming to the conclusion that pretty much all of the doctrinal stuff that i have believed for 25/30 years is built on a house of cards and it's about to come crashing down.

  question is what do i replace it with?.

  my intellectual head says that that whole thing is junk and there is almost certainly no god at all.

  I, like many, tried to replace it with "traditional" Christianity, but in due time that avenue also proved to be unbelievable. You have to replace it with "Living in the Now" and making the best of it instead of just trodding along in this life and placing all your hopes and dreams of a better one in the future.

  Who On This Site Would You Like To Meet?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  there are a lot of interesting people that frequent this site.. sometimes, we get an idea of what the posters are really like in "real life".

  and i'm sure i could be easily surprised by some that you think might be strong personalities because of their board presence, and in reality, they might be shy in a face to face setting.. i would enjoy meeting simon.

  simon used to be terribly annoyed by my posting and now i think he's accepted with tolerance my being here.. farkel seems like a grouchy cantankerous fellow but i think he'd be very interesting company!.

  I wouldn't mind meeting anyone on here as I am interested in hearing different points of view. I have met Terry twice and he is as enlightening in person as his posts are here at JW.Net.

  Do Jehovah's Witnesses know what happened to them in 1954?

  by Terry in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  1954: the year jehovah's witnesses stopped worshiping jesus christ.

  watchtower charter: http://www.jehovah.net.au/books/1945_cha..._wtbts.pdf.

  did you know that from 1879 until 1954 the writings of c.t.russell, j.f.rutherford, nathan knorr and the watchtower's own charter all agreed that jesus christ was worthy of worship?.

  Great Post Terry. Your posts nearly always point out some new flaw in the Society's operating manual that I have never considered previously.
