  Where would you draw the line?

  by chappy in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  assuming 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.

  Take sides now

  by chappy in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i spent a couple of hours today with jw relatives and of coarse the usual subjects came up.

  based on our conversation and after leaving, a couple of the old questions came to mind.

  i'm curious about the rest of the boards thoughts.. now this may be conjecture but what if: god made it known,in no uncertain terms, that h/she exists and is finally going to put an end to all the evil in the world.

  Dangerous Stuff!

  by chappy in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i'm including a partial quote of an article posted by tallyman on kents website.

  now most of you who know me are aware that i don't have a great deal of regard for the watchtower corporation.

  but this kind of extremism scares me.. "i am in need of references to watchtower publications that contain images of united states government buildings, especially the white house- depicted as being violently destroyed by the watchtower society.. i have much of the wt literature pre-1992, and a bit of the post-1992 stuff, but it is such a tremendous task to sift through all this literature to find these watchtower-generated images of destruction of u. s. government property and buildings, as well as the text or captions accompanying such.. please send me the name of the watchtower publication and page number and i will scan it and am in the process of making a webpage which will contain all the seditious material i can compile on the watchtower.

  What gets you "unsaved"?

  by chappy in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  assuming a belief in a creator and that s/he has made provison for an afterlife, what does everyone think would prevent you, doctrinally, from being "saved"?

  i'm not talking about moral charactor, but specific religious beliefs like the trinity, using gods "name", baptism, reincarnation, accepting all biblical accounts as factual etc.

  include beliefs of all faiths; buddists, muslem, new age - all of 'em.. later,.

  1. jw
  2. friends

  one of the basic tenets of the wt org.

  has been the establishment of a one world government.. you may have noticed news reports today on the g8 summit in italy and the demonstrations and riots associated with it.

  there have also been lots of other public discord at some of the earlier international summits like the wto conference in seattle wash.last year.
