being witnesses
by speffot indont get me wrong, i dont mean to sound critical or rude, but how can some of you say you are witnesses but not attend meetings and stuff...or go witnessing?
its what jehovah says to do, so how can u not do what jehovah says, but yet call yourself a jehovahs witness??
?

Play on words
by chappy inthis verse is something that just crossed my mind.. roughly paraphrased:.

This verse is something that just crossed my mind.
Roughly paraphrased:
1."The great and fear inspiring day of Jehovah"
2."The great and awe inspiring day of Jehovah"
The word awe probably reflects the correct meaning in the verse. Just goes to show how the JW's love to choose a definition to induce dread into their followers.
There's a BIG difference in the impression one gets by changing the meaning of one word. Fear implies just what it says. Awe promotes a sense of wonder.The devil's in the details, no?

Interfaith Relationship
by Christina77 ini am currently involved in a relationship for the last year and a half with a man that i found out about 2 months ago is a jehovahs witness (and i am catholic).
the only reason why i found this out, was that i was pushing the issue as to why his parents do not know that i exist.
this really irritated me since he has a very close relationship with his parents.

Where would you draw the line?
by chappy inassuming the creator exists, how far do you feel he/she should go in interfering with the exercise of our free will?
wouldn't any direct interference negate such freedom?
seems to me it's a very thin line between puppet like control and absolute freedom.

really want to give up your individuality? Give it a lot of thought; think long and hard about the details. The ramifications would be endless and IMO probably unacceptable to most of us, pain and suffering not withstanding.later,

The second angel sounded his trumpet, and something like a huge mountain, all ablaze, was thrown into the sea. A third of the sea turned into blood, a third of the living creatures in the sea died, and a third of the ships were destroyed.

10/1 WT: Creative days = 7,000 years
by Seeker inthe fourth paragraph on page 30 in the october 1, 2001 wt says this:.
"getting back to paul's statement in hebrews, we note that he pointed out that "there remains a sabbath resting for the peoples of god," and he urged his fellow christians to do their utmost "to enter into that rest.
" this shows that when paul wrote those words, "the seventh day" of god's rest, which had started some 4,000 years earlier, was still in progress.

In all fairness, the WT has taught for quite a while that the earth was much older than 42000+ years. "In the beginning" implies no set time; could be millions. The creative days started when "the earth was void and without form".

Jay Dubs right about 1914
by FrightMare inplease study this chart very, very carefully: http://www.sru.edu/depts/artsci/ges/d-3-2.htm.
why has such an unprecedented boom in population and technology occurred during the specific time the bible points to the 'last days', 1914?

Of course you're correct about the drop in disease and people living longer, but what do you think was the catalyst for all this progress?
Humans have been living on the earth for tens of thousands of years with little or no progress; then suddenly an expolsion in progress.
I'm not necessarily implying anything biblical, but you have to admit is is thought provoking.later,

Questions="dishonest baiting"?
by Julie inthree little scriptures that i feel reflect the opposite of all that christians claim biblegod to be.
i merely asked a hard-core defender of the faith to justify these as actions of an all-loving, enlightened supreme being.
here they are along with the "explanations" of them (in a nutshell):.

AmazingProgeny, you hold the view that I feel the majority of Christians have. The radicals and fundies scream the loudest and lead most people that theirs is the prevailing attitude. If my belief in the Creator depended exclusively on the bible, I would be in dire straits.
