"....you will be like gods, knowing good and evil."
by Lilycurly ini know this has been mentioned before, but i'd like to bring that question to the front again.
not only from a jw's perspective, but also from all other christians.. who lied to man and woman in the eden story?.
yahweh god says to men: 17 "nevertheless of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you are not to eat, for on the day you eat of it you shall most surely die.

The bible says god said: "The DAY you eat from it you're gonna fricken die"
Satan says: "No you won't. You'll just stop being naive and ignorant."
It is right there in black and white.
They didn't die that day and their eyes were indeed opened. God lied. Satan didn't. God didn't say that they would never die if they didn't eat from it. Actually, they would still would have died unless they ate the other fruit, apparently. Sooooooooo, the only way to explain that away is to decide that god meant something other than what he actually said. Which seems to be where this discussion has headed.
..."when god said they would die that day, he didn't mean die as in no longer be alive..."
..."when he said 'that day', he didn't mean the same day,he meant that they wouldn't live forever"
Does that really make any sense?
Say what you mean and mean what you say! Let your yes mean yes and your no, no!

But what if they're right............still the Truth?
by ScoobySnax inthis will probably apply to few here, but to me it'll always be that way.
it's the what if syndrome maybe, but it's always there.
i still think that as a core belief system the jw's have it right, even if their delivery isn't always right.

Did you really LOVE all your brothers and sisters?
I usually did love sistersWere your thoughts humble and pure, chaste and righteous?
Damn!!haha... Hilarious. Anyhow scoob, after all you have seen that they do have wrong what is it exactly that you are looking for? What would it take for you to realize that they don't have the truth? Seroiusly. Let's say you for some reason believe the bible. Clearly they have some f#&*ed up interpretations of scriptures. They have made false prophecies which would in turn make them "false prophets". It don't take a genius to figure that out. Do they have to come right out and say "Well, I guess we were wrong. Sorry bout that. Turns out what we thought was holy spirit was just some really good hash."????? That ain't gonna happen. I would really like to know, what would it take to realize that they do not have the truth?

I am supposed to go to a cousins wedding this month at the local KH in Southbridge, MA. It's just a building. I'll be sitting near the "worldly" relatives who go. I'll point out to them the pagan act of exchanging rings which they might chuckle about.

I'm pretty sure that no law abiding people are supposed to buy stolen goods so what this would have to do with just JW's? and define "true christian".

What were your seating habits at the hall?
by JH ini would always leave a space between me and someone else.
i hated when someone was seated right next to me.
didn't feel comfortable.. i also loved sitting in back of a tall person, that would hide everything, like that i could close my eyes and the speaker wouldn't notice.....lol.

I preferred to sit in the back. I hate not knowing what is going on behind me. We had a weird setup with a large center row and rows of two seats on the side. I liked getting the side seats. Up toward the front there were wings, and sitting in the back of one of those wings was ok as well. I also did the mics for some time. A lot of people seem to think we feel "priveleged" doing the mics. Maybe that is the case for some, but I liked it because I didn't have to sit or pay attention (other than trying to pay attention to whom was called on so I could find them).

So, why is sex a sin?
by Gill inso, why is sex, without marriage a sin?.
why when someone is talking about morality, do they really mean sexual activities, and not lying, cheating, child abuse, wife beating, bad tempers, being a horrible person, murder, generally bad behaviour.. those other things, i would say are more immoral.. but, sex, why is it a sin?
if two people are in love, have no other ties, want to be together, why is that a sin?

Even if you buy into that Jehovah bull he clearly said he was going to let man try to do it their way after they ate the fruit. ; That being the case he needs to shut his #$%ing ;mouth and sit the #$%* ;down.
haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. Fricken hilarious, yet it makes so much sense.

By the way, I just reread your initial post which actually said you had blank firing devices (essentially noise makers to let you know that something that may be a threat was nearby) which were just to warn you. Like I said, I had a few drinks, so I guess I misread that for booby traps. I'm stupid so forgive me my ignorance. I actually like your ideas. And your fear was of camping in the woods, not just the dangers of the woods. So forgive me the "flack" if you will. I stand by my comments, they just don't really apply to you. They apply to whomever thinks what I thought you were saying, not what you were actually saying. And bears are f*cking scary.
