If he knew God was real, not just "thought", would he still try to steal your car?

I couldn't agree more...that adversary could hold some knowledge I don't, and could also be trying to keep me from making a bad mistake I am not seeing. What is going to happen to me if I kill him????? Is that not almost "self destructive"?
Very good point!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
much thanks!!!!

i'm d/f for about 2 years and my dad ( an elder ) hasn't spoke with me since, my mom sometimes talk to me , but i always have to call her , just to see how's she's doing, and guess what, when she answer her phone is : oh, i was preeching!!!.

they're always preeching, but my brother contact me today telling me that we can speak again due to the fact that i'm d/f , what do you guys think?

?

Amen to Call of Duty!! I beat finest hour then my ps2 took a DRE!!
I would say....what is the highest authorities definition of "brainwashing"? Does it fit their actions?
Maybe they are "blindly obedient" to a few "misguided, well intentioned" people?
Maybe that is "brainwashing"?
the actions is the only way to discern with any accuracy in my opinion.
If they start ordering their people to kill others, well, I would say something is wrong, bad wrong!!!

War? Or "disagreement"? How do you win?
Do you kill all those who disagree? Is it because you are incapable of convincing your opponet to do as you wish, or see things your way?
Can the average person do this to win a disagreement?? Does this not separate people, and keep them from working together?
Is there any positives to killing to win a war or disagreement? Does it mean you are strong? If that is the case, the one with the most powerful weapon is always going to be "right". Correct?
What about PROOF? Or PROVING your case? Is this too hard to accomplish?
Is it because there are people who are in positions of great authority who do not posess the knowledge to do their jobs correctly? Is this the problem?
Any thoughts?

Which Church do I go to now?

2. beliefs
i personally feel no particular need for institutionalised religion, but recognise it is a benefit to many people.

however i am constantly asked, "where do i go to now?

what is the best answer to give someone?
DavidChristopher

Me and a friend talk and search for truth (God) while we shoot pool and drink beer and eat pretzels in his basement. Or how about today with my friends at Bumper to Bumper auto parts? That is my "church".

My question of the day...
by DavidChristopher in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
if jehovah brings a new plan to light, a new idea...does that make him a different god, or the same god with a new plan?

if i start doing things different, does that make me a different person, or the same person with different ways of doing things.. i still have all my past experiences in my memory don't i?

so what i am saying is does becoming "wiser", or growing up, make you someone different?
DavidChristopher

If Jehovah brings a new plan to light, a new idea...Does that make Him a different God, or the Same God with a new plan?

hi everyone, i have a question about tattoos.

i was told by a jw that getting a tattoo was going against jehovah, and that he forbid them is that true?

is it wrong?
DavidChristopher

Rebel, that is really sickening. I cannot believe that people could be so cold, and judgemental. If they are right, then I am truly a unrepentant sinner because I like my tattoos, and would like another. does that mean I don't love Jehovah? Or I don't love the Jehovah they have made for themselves, and serve?
This is my question of the day...

Any thoughts on this?????

I have 2. A evil clown ripping out of my right upper arm, and a spider web on my right akle with the words "dirty white boy" in it. (I was a big forigner fan in the day) I plan on getting another someday, unless I find it is wrong to do so, or someone proves it to me.
