perhaps you recall the instance in the bible where samson made a wager with the philistines that they couldnt guess his riddle.
as it turned out they wheedled the answer out of him by his fiancee, but the point is that they had a wager.
since the underlying assumption of the apostasy is that we are not living in the last days of this system of things, and that this world is not facing anything remotely like the biblical apocalypse, at least not any time soon, in the spirit of such antagonism, i would like to propose a similar wager.
YK,
If you have information like this:
Once weapons of mass destruction are brought into the picture, whether by terrorist or the U.S., it will certainly change things in a big and lasting way. / You KnowIf you have information of intended use of weapons of mass destructon you need to report it to the FBI not us.

three little scriptures that i feel reflect the opposite of all that christians claim biblegod to be.
i merely asked a hard-core defender of the faith to justify these as actions of an all-loving, enlightened supreme being.
here they are along with the "explanations" of them (in a nutshell):.
siegswife,
I think that was a rather poor illustration(gun to daugther's head).
I think your trying too hard to make a point.
Why not just be honest and say,"we don't alway know why God does this or that".
Sometimes it's just a matter of faith he's right in what he does.

if i may... and may you all have peace.. at risk of chafing some... uh, 'positions' with regard to the current 'situation' facing this nation (u.s.) and a good part of the world, i have to ask:.
just now, i was watching the opening of president bush's address to congress.
as he entered the room, bush was given a grand standing ovation, whistling, cheers and great applause.
lauralisa,

this is the kind of circumstance that some jw's love to.
speculate about - with regard to the un and religion.. events like this drive people towards church, not away from it.. likewise politicians (bush) quote the bible and tearful priests.
give last rights to victims in the streets.. turn against religion?
Met,
I was watching on the news last nite.
That there was a Catholic church very close to the WTC that didn't even get a scratch on it when the WTC came crashing down.
I wonder what the JW's think about that?

you know if you can find one prediction that came true that the society made i will mail you one dylan cd of your choice?.
i don't mean things like their prediction that the 2nd world war would end, because all wars eventually come to an end.. i mean something substancial.. .
i'll defend your right to say it, but it doesn't mean i beleive it.
Picture of D Wilt saying to YK hey how come you never reply to this thread? D. Wilt charged YK and ripped the cuff of his trousers >>>

lets play a game!.
let make beleive that this post is headed by elders from you know congregation, and they have heard rumors about you know apostasy, but before they can get a committee together the need solid facts that you know is truly an apostate.. the poster can play either the part of elders who are investigating, or that of a loyal jws bringing facts to the elders attention about this matter.. i think this could be fun, or i maybe totally wrong and nobody wants to play this game.. we might even get enough facts together to form a committee and disfellowship him (in our game).
i'll defend your right to say it, but it doesn't mean i beleive it.
(witness to fact finding committee)
I heard also that You Know has been gambling and making wagers(trusting in the God of Good Luck (Isaiah 65:11)).
He made bets on a discussion board that his own private predictions that are out of harmony with the WT Present Truth.
And if he looses he will give $100. to an Apostate discussion forum. Thus becoming a sharer in their wicked works.
