Bets on when the UN prophecy will be dropped?
by marmot innow that i'm free to bet, i figured it would be neat to start a pool on when the watchtower is going to change light bulbs on the prophecy about the united nations turning on worldwide religion.
there is no doubt in my mind that this prediction will be dropped.
not only is this the longest-running unchanged prediction in the wt's history (1925 and 1975 had much shorter gestations) it's the last detailed concrete prediction the society has left in its bag of tricks.

Was the WTS correct?
by chappy inbased on current events, do you think the wts could be at least partially correct on their prediction about organized religion being banned by many governments or even some future un mandate?
what about the western governments (us, britain, france, germany etc)?
think it could or even may happen?

" An accurate picture can only be obtained by lucid observation and clarity of thought based on a view made as broad as possible by contact with as much data as possible from as many sources as possible."
I really like that...keeping it in my file of quotes.

Personally I think there will be attempts at banning it, but don't see how it could be enforced. What is needed is education and religion could end up banning itself. The problem is ignorance. Ignorance isn't the same thing as uneducated. Ignorance is a choice. How many of you have watched the 1hr video "The Naked Truth"? Anyone with the slightest desire to educate their self can't watch it without experiencing an epiphany. If you haven't seen it you owe it to yourself to spend an hour of your time to see it. It's available all over the web for free.

What would you do if you were in charge?

Is the Bible really from God.....
by REBORNAGAIN inor just from everyday people like you and me and christians just held on to it because it gave them something to hope for and put faith in?.
if it really is from god, why are things still so mysterious, i.e.
why are we still in the dark about the future?

To me, the first thing a person must do is determine, in his/her own mind, if there is indeed a Creator. If you don't accept the Creators existance then the question is moot. If you do and also accept that there is some kind of divine plan then how does He/She communicate with us? I personally feel that it's on an individual basis. Is the bible inspired of God and totally without error? Does it mean exactly what it says? It doesn't take a lot of investigation to realize that there are literal and factual errors in the Bible. Many of the errors are errors in interpritation and a lack of understanding of the culture in which it was written. Many misunderstandings are purely semantic. By far, most of the errors are misinterpritations of the real facts. People want to control other people. They want to impose their morality and world view on others - therefore it's their interpritation that's correct. Some of these interpritations make little or no difference in the scheme of things. Remember the story of Shadrach, Meschac and Abednigo and how the king had the furnace heated 7 times hotter than usual before throwing them in? Just a little science totally disproves the 7 times hotter description. Does that really matter in getting the meaning of the story? Of course not; unless there's some religious leader who says God is going to kill you and/or send you to hell for not believing the Bible word for word. I personally can get a lot of inspiration and guidance from the Bible, but it ispersonal. The Bible is the worlds best selling book...and the most misused. Read and understand it for yourself. Apply things to your own personal life. I don't mean that you shouldn't share any inspiration you may gain with others, just don't assume that they get the same inspiration or that it applies to them the same way it does to you.
One other thought. I feel that if a person cannot determine a belief in God without the Bible, or any other holy book for that matterthen they need to re-evaluate their belief. The Bible can indeed be an inspiring book in anyones life, however I certainly don't think anyone is doomed if they don't read and apply it in some way. Anyone who thinks this way is already a victim of the abuse imposed by religion and/or other controlling individuals. To paraphrase a Bible verse (can't remember exactly where) "The law will be written in your heart". Your heart should be the first place you search before trying to make sense of the Bible.
All just MHO.

Would you have been born if your parents were NOT J-dubs?
by Highlander ini think it's very safe to say that i would not have been born if one or both of my parents were never jw's.
mom and dad met because they were witnesses.
if not for this cult, they wouldn't have met and i(their armagedden baby) would never have existed.
