i think the people who said's that they are going to heaven is the ones who are so upset that when they lose a love one or see death, they just put aside and say in their heart that armageddon is not coming, a new earth is not coming, therefore im going or we "must" go to heaven.. i dont agree with the jw on everything(some things they say dont make no damn sense), but one thing they taught me is that god's cares for his footstool.
in the bible it said's: the earth was creator for a purpose and this purpose was not made in vain, the earth has a purpose, behold the earth is the home of humans.
the bible is full of evidence that the god will not get rid of the earth and a new holy city(which is a new heaven and a new earth) is coming.

according to the bible, the angels saw the daughters of men, materialized into human bodies and married the women, had children.
here's my question...did they create for themselves a human body or did they transform themselves into a human body that already existed?
i know this may seem silly, but i was just wondering where the sperm came from to impregnate the women?
Many think these angels were aliens. It IS an interesting parallel with all the claims today about women being abducted and impregnated by aliens. Are they back at it again?

the december issue of discover magazine contains an interesting article that cites michael fossel, an expert on.
aging research.
some of his comments:.
Discoveries in this area have been comming fast in the past few years. However, the social and political implications are vast. For example, if the magic bulliet is actually discovered would it be available for everyone? What about population control? Would children become a thing of the past? What about "undesirables". What about prisoners sentenced to "life"? What about social security payments? Would the economy support enough jobs for everyone?
My fear is that the rich and powerful would find a way to keep this to themselves.

i was raised a jehovah's witness and like most are aware, they presently belive that by and large everyone who dies ceases to exist.
i accepted this fate for most of my life and i guess i still do for the most part, but now that i do not go to the meetings what am i to accept death to be, as i will die as well as my friends and family at some point.
i think that idea of being in gods memory made sense to me as i have excepted it for forty five of my fifty years of being alive.
We go back home. Life here is part of our education. Remember how God told Jeramiah that He knew him even before he was born?

this is a topic in the new awake.
their thinking is that some of them are not upbuilding, crude, pornographic, filthy etc.
the implication is of course that since some of it is "bad", stay away from all of it.
This is a topic in the new Awake. Their thinking is that some of them are not upbuilding, crude, pornographic, filthy etc. The implication is of course that since some of it is "bad", stay away from all of it. Based on that logic, why not the following articles?
Should you read the Bible?
Should you read?
Should you wear clothes?
Should you talk to people?
Should you eat?
Should you have neighbors?
Should you think?
Any more? chappy
i'm certainly not anti - christian, however the true history of christianity is truely an appalling series of events.
it's certainly not the legacy that christ intended.
carl sagan was an avid athiest and was instrumental in exposing many of the crimes of christianity.

Carl Sagan was an avid athiest and was instrumental in exposing many of the crimes of Christianity. Here's a short synopsis of some of his facts on Christianity and how reason survived despite the Christian church.

the recent post by randy watters is very good regarding the watchtower selling assets.
some posters suggested that maybe they were doing this because the clean-up of asbestos is too expensive, making a sale more rational.. .
in the usa, any building containing asbestos insulation must be dealt with by the seller of a property.
I wonder who'll be pocketing much of those "liquid assets?" Millions can be skimmed; who'd be the wiser?

hi folks, been quite a while since i've posted on the board but visit regularly.
i need a reference/link on john 1:1. i've been told that the addition of "a" (word was "a" god) is incorrect in it's context from a greek lanquage point of view.
i need some kind of reference(s) explaining how this is a gramatical error.. later,.
Here is part of a later post I entered. Would my assumption (God=Panel) be correct?
It seems to me however that the witnesses misrepresent what trinitarians actually believe. I was always told that the trinity doctrine meant the belief that God and Christ were the same individual or entity. However this is what I think the trinity doctrine means: God is not a person or entity, but something akin to a panel of 3 judges, lets say Tom, Dick and Harriet. The panel = God, Tom = the Father (chief judge), Dick = the Son, Harriet = the Holy spirit. The panel (God) IS the group. In my mind this clears up the confusion about Christ praying to Himself. He was praying to another member of the panel(God), in this case Tom (the Father).

thanks to cassi and onacruise for the info on john 1:1 earlier; ie: need a reference.
i haven't discussed the trinity doctrine or any religious subject with my family (all witnesses) for quite a while.
personally, the doctrine is moot - much ado about nothing.

I haven't discussed the trinity doctrine or any religious subject with my family (all witnesses) for quite a while. Personally, the doctrine is moot - much ado about nothing. Both positions can be biblically supported. It seems to me however that the witnesses misrepresent what trinitarians actually believe.

Does this sound just as confusing as what the witnesses say the trinity means or does it make sense and represent what most believe.

i need a reference/link to info.
on john 1:1. i understand that the addition of "a" ("a" god) goes completely against greek lanquage rules.
