  Books!

  by dynamiterose77 in

  i feel like i wasn't allowed to read a lot of books when i was younger, a lot of which i'm discovering are positivly phenomenal.. i was allowed to read edgar allan poe, who remains my all time favorite writer.

  but, i've discovered the joys of stephen king, anne rice, joyce carrol oats, neil gaiman, george r. martin, david sedaris... and so so so many more.. i'm currently getting through "the shining" so i can move on to "doctor sleep".

  i'm interested to see if anyone else that discovered the many joys of "worldly" literature, jumped immediately into what they weren't allowed to read... and what was your favorite?.

  Order in the universe

  by Rattigan350 in

  this topic was covered in book study last night.

  some commented that the universe is ordered and the stars don't collide.. that has nothing to do with order.

  it is more to do with that there is more space between the stars and planets and things go between them if they were in the same area.. and do they not consider that the many things that colliided with the moon to make those crators?.

  Good point.

  Just for reference: http://www.universetoday.com/107244/can-stars-collide/

  Too bad none of us wont be present to see this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andromeda%E2%80%93Milky_Way_collision

  Ah, and the craters on the moon? Remember, it's made out of cheese.

  about 5 minutes ago i get an article emailed to me from my mother telling me that i need to find a way to get back to jehovah and his saving arm... she read an article in a reputable newspaper that all the friends are using to show that its not just jehovahs witnesses who see religion about to get attacked by the u.n.. it concludes with a link to the article and her desire for me to please read it in light of my recent situation.. .

  here is the article http://www.examiner.com/article/is-the-un-preparing-to-attack-religion.

  the writer bill underwood is a jehovah's witness.

  A preist , Pastor , or minister of religion that uses the Bible or an i-pad , who in your eyes would command your respect .

  i ask this because of an experience over the weekend when two witnesses came to my door , and he tried to use his i-pad to witness to me, which i wasnt intersted in.. my theory is this is going to backfire on them .

  the majority of people in christendom , whether they practice it or not have a reverence , if not a deep respect for the written word , the bible , as a holy book.

  a sacred book.. i dont beleive a householder who is a christian is going to be impressed by someone who quotes scriptures from an i-pad.. religous books have been considered sacred for centuries , their is an awe about them .

  I know what you mean smiddy, but look at it this way: The Bible was not written as a book, that's "new" technology when you compare it to scrolls. So, from a person using scrolls, the introduction of the Bible as a book was something new. Will be the Bible as sacred printed in books rather than in scrolls?

  My point is that the medium does not make any difference. The content does.

  next week's wt is full of helpful encouragement not to believe satanic propaganda that might tell us that the world is getting to be a better place to live in.. .

  well, i stumbled across this article here, that contains lots of so-called 'facts' and 'figures', i'm sure glad i read my wt first so i can recognise that this is nothing but lies, all lies.. .

  The best time of humanity was right before 1914. Around 1913 or 1912 if you will. According to WT/FDS/GB.

  What is "The Truth"?

  by EndofMysteries in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  to jw's if you think about it, this is what "the truth" is..... .

  "the truth" is that you must be in 'the truth' and spend every waking moment you have getting others in 'the truth'.

  anything the governing body says to do is 'the truth'.
