True religion - anyone have a clue?

by Tin Man in

jw
friends

what is the true religion anyone have a clue?.

i would love to know, if anyone does have a clue; being a witness most of my life it gave me this feeling like i really was in the true religion and god really was with me cause i belonged to the "true religion.. i have noticed that witness's say the elders were appointed by holy spirit, how do they know did they see it, it just dawned on me that all of it has been based on the premise that i had to have faith in what they say rather then substantiated facts; all of what they say simply put is nothing more then words, contrived by men only, if you tell them this you get the treatment like your going to be destroyed which is paramount to going and burning in hell.

What is "THE" true religion according to the Bible?

Hinduism?
Islam?
Shinto?
Money?
Your career?
Bhudism?

hmmmm...

religion, religion....thinking thinking.....

I know that I believe in Christ...

Christianity?

Ah, that must be it. Yes...to me (some have their own belief in what "the" true religion is, and more power to 'em) to me...Christianity is "THE" true religion.

Now...let's ask: Is there a "ONE TRUE" organization? Can't recall any scriptures citing that there is, or should be. I just recall that Christ said I had to believe that he was the Son of God, and who ever believed this...that they would be saved. And, Love God with my whole M-H-B-S. Love my neighbor as myself. And that should cover all. And ah...spread the "word" around.

Don't recall him asking me to fill out time cards. Don't recall him saying that there was someone, some people, or some organization that had to be acknowledged to approch him. Or do service to him.

I do recall him saying that this message was for "everyone".

I have a personal theory that I apply to myself. It may help you, you may see it differently. But perhaps sharing it with you, may aid you.

I think that Christ kept the message this simple because he knew humanity would abuse, twist, corrupt, and alter what he said. That humanity would serve itself in this message. And I dont think I have to cite examples to show that humanity has done this...it's on a grand level for the past 2,000 years since Christ's death.

If you truly have a belief in Christ. Read the Bible and discern what it has to say to you. The Borg have taught that you are not capable of just reading the Bible without their help. I believe otherwise. I believe that the Bible was written for everyone. I believe that the application of what I've read in the Bible is to be applied to myself. That this is for me, and for me to live by.

For those who wonder: D8TA what do you think people should do in XXXXX situation?

My reply: People are going to do what they want to do. Believe in what they believe. I am commanded by Jesus to love them regardless. The judgement of Christ on other people is not my concern, where as the judgement of Christ on myself...I am concerned. Live and let live.

What films and TV shows couldn't you watch?

by sleepy in

jw
friends

what films and tv shows couldn't you watch when you were a witness kid?.

i remmember being banded from watching scooby doo, ghostbusters ,e.t., (some british ones)count duckula, rent a ghost, well basicly anything with ghosts in it.. my parents wouldn't watch any films with much swearing in them, especially the f-word.. which is fair enought.but i don't notice swearing so sometimes i recommend a film without realising its got lots of naughty words.. sometimes a very sensitive brother from the hall would come round to visit, and he would be visably shocked if there was any sex or swearing in a tv programme which often made it embarassing when watching tv when he was round.. once when we had some friends round and we got waynes world out on video, a couple of the brothers walked out as they thought it too worldly.

D8TA

Pretty much everything you listed except for E.T.
Can't remember much of a fuss on that movie.
Smurfs
Ghostbuster Movie (but my "JW" mom lost out to my
"worldly" dad decision, when I reasoned that her favorite
movie "Wizard of Oz" had a WIZARD in it. Woot!)
Raiders of the Lost Ark (Dad 2 - Mom 0)
Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (Dad 3 - Mom 0)
Lord of the Flies-bw version *gee wonder why the society would want to frown on that one...hmmmm* (Dad 4 - Mom 0)
He-Man and the Masters of the Universe cartoon
Any books that were from AD&D universe.
Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit (Dad 5 - Mom 2)
Any type of SPORTS program espeacially football. (Dad 6 - Mom 2)

That's all I can remember right now. Reason I put a score down was, even though I got to watch these programs thru my Dad's permission...my mom would hound me with guilt trips. Jeez, imagine telling a 5-10 yr. old that "you're not going to make it in to Jehovah's Kingdome if you watch those programs". I got that a lot.

Has the mnknds cndition gotten better since 1914?

by D wiltshire in

jw
friends

has mankind condition gotten worse or better since 1914?.

the wt concludes that more people are sufuring more since 1914 because that year would spell trouble that would increase.. a brother giving a public talk a couple of weeks ago said mans life span has not increase any noticible amount even with all the advancement we have made in medicine and so the thought trying to be conveyed was don't trust science.. i know many will eagerly point out the facts.. join the watchtower or you will die.. only jehovah's witnesses have the truth all other religions evil and from the devil.. you must beleive the watchtower or you're going to die a painful death forever, isn't that really good news?.

MaVman

World War I, World War II, Genocide of Jews, Genocide of Balkans, Genocide in Ruwanda, Vietnam War, Terrorism, Abortions, Hunger in Africa and Asia, Threat of Nuclear Holocoust, Guerrilla Warfare, Aids
Nope, I can't think of a thing that's gotten worst since 1914!

Counter:

Fall of Rome and it's warfare, 100's of Barbarian/Germanic/Vandals/etc. warefare, 100's of Chinese and Japanese Dynasty wars, Famine, Plague, Disease, Greater Population of Intollerant Mother-in-Laws (I put that there), More earhquakes in the previous millenium then this one, Average lifespan was 35 years old for how long?, Crusades, 10 of 1000's of tribal warfare in the Africas-North America-South Pacific-South America etc. in the previous millenum, The Inquisition, Brutal Midevial Hack'n'Slash Warfare, Genocide, Rape and Muder, Spanish-French-English Royal Rumble (Live on pay per view),Religous Persecution, Astroid and Giant Meteorite collisions on earth,Continental Fires,Typhoons, Hurricanes, Tornadoes,Islamic Wars, Mid-East Tribal Warfare, Atilla the Hun, Mongolain Raiders, Genghis Khan, Napolean,Longshanks, Scottish Clan Wars, Irish Clan Wars,Drought,Revolutions and Civil Wars,SLAVERY, Madness and Mayhem,Fire and Brimestone, Hail and Fire, Dog and Cats living together....and finally, the great False Prophet otherwise known as the WTBTS is borne unto humanity.

See why the Society condemns a college education...you'll end up knowing more then they do.

Pretty much...things haven't changed a bit from my point of view.

E.T. -- A Bad Movie for Christians?

by dedalus in

i'm pretty excited about the re-release of e.t.

the extraterrestrial, because i distinctly remember not being allowed to see it when i was a child.

as i recall there were too many parallels between the life of e.t.

D8TA

Take it from me folks, NEVER and I MEAN NEVER be drinking a Pepsi when reading something like this. It will cost you a new keyboard, and clear your sinuses at the same time.

My sides are still hurting from laughing.

May 16th 2002, Where are you going to be?

by D8TA in

i'll be in line for star wars episode ii: attack of the clones.. i was 7 when star wars came out.

but saw it a month after it was released.

but for empire strikes back, return of the jedi and the phantom menace...i got in opening day.. uuugh!

D8TA

If you get the EPISODE I DvD and set to the commentary...Lucas stated that TPM was incomplete as will AOTC be incomplete. The prequals I-III will be basically ONE BIG movie. Think of these first 3 as a 9 hour movie.

Pretty much AOTC is going to continue the saga (although it's over a decade later from TPM) and will compliment TPM.

That's my optimistic view of it.

Come May 16th...I may change my view on that.

It's either going to improve the way you look at TPM, or TPM is the biggest toy commercial movie out there. :)~
