  No secular evidence for Jesus. What does this imply?

  by Spectrum in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  a man that performed miracles including raising the dead has left no secular evidence.

  but as i write this the question has come to mind of what ancient evidence constitutes verifiable, believable evidence that we can take to the bank?

  we have the nt and the apocrypha, ancient texts that tell a story of the early christians.

  Mary Magdalene

  if it was proven that jesus, in fact, has a bloodline.

  what do you think this will do to religions?

  and is it at all possible to prove that mary magdalene and jesus had an intimate relationship?

  What songs got you through good or tough times?

  by jojochan in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i've been in an upbeat mood lately.

  i don't know if it's all the exercise that i'm doing or what but i've not been moody all 3 weeks.one thing that i've noticed, is that i've listened to certain songs that made me forget about "her" and move on with bigger and better things.

  when i was depressed i listened to some songs from tool, some from the cure, barbra manning, the old babyface songs,some from sade, sweetback, and maxwell and everything but the girl.

  I got off easy because my father is an Elder

  by Pwned in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i was reading the story of james caputo on his site disfellowshipped.org when i came to the realization that i received favorable treatment because of who my father is.

  i was 17 when i told my father that i didnt want to be a jw anymore because i just didnt really believe in it, i think i said something along the lines of i just don't "feel it" anyways he told me that since i was a minor i would have to keep going to the meetings and that i would have to tell the elders how i felt.

  so a few days later 2 elders who had known me since i was 6 years old came over and talked to me, although they made it clear from the outset that it wasn't a jc.

  Anger!!!!

  by FlyingHighNow in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  yesterday, when i was driving through holland, michigan, i was a little lost looking for the human resources office.

  i was heading down a busy divided four lane street unfamiliar, when i looked up and there it was, a kingdom hall in all it's radiant three day quick-build glory.

  and for the first time, rather than just the usual cringe, i felt angry!.

  History of the Bible - JWs will not like this

  by Amazing1914 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  historically, the bible is a secondary support for christians and jews.

  i was raised roman catholic, and our tradition and practices included the bible, but it was not a key centerpiece of our faith.

  the jewish side of my family likewise have a rich history of tradition and faith that is lived, and not pinned down to every word in the bible.
