This board is not for me.

friends

when i came to this board, i thought that it was for encouragement amoung people who had been treated badly by the wtbts, i did not understand that people were going to come here and bash god, his son and the bible.

i could understand some embitterment over religion but some of you people are down right insulting.

not to mention the fact that i have tried to contact others on the board and have had my messages ignored.. .

However what I have found is that some people here are not interested in finding the answers, they just hate God, pure and simple and need to be vocal about it. Now that is thier business and they are allowed to do so.

Brother,

Yes, we are allowed. That's the beauty of freedom!

Maybe you're just not used to it yet.

Don't let what others say or do affect you so much.

You need to put your ego aside and drop your agenda.

I personally am not interested in converting to your point of view, nor am I interesting in converting you to mine.

1.What color is four?

There are four elements, each with a corresponding colour: Air = yellow, Fire = red, Water = Blue, and Earth = green. If you mix these colours together, what do you get? Brown. So, the colour of four is brown.

2. Can you be ENraged and OUTraged at the same time?

Yes.

3. Is life being "broadcast" by the universe and we are merely "tuned" to our own particular channel?

To a degree.

4. What is the dividing line between SUBjective and OBjective?

John 6:53-54 So Jesus said to them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless (on the condition that) you eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood(barf!), you have no life in you (you deserve to die!); he who eats my flesh (How appealing. Does that include the penis?) and drinks my blood (I'll give my vampire friends a call and invite them over for dinner tonight! Blood is on the menu!) has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day (The rest of you will rot in hell!).

Mark 16:16 Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved; whoever does not believe will be condemned (sumarily executed).

""Hello, my name is Jesus. I love you deeply. I have loved you since you were conceived in the womb and I will love you for all eternity. I died for you on the cross because I love you so much. I long to have a loving personal relationship with you. I will answer all of your prayers through my love. But if you do not get down on your knees and worship me, and if you do not EAT MY BODY and DRINK MY BLOOD, then I WILL INCINERATE YOU WITH UNIMAGINABLY TORTUOUS PAIN IN THE FIRES OF HELL FOR ALL ETERNITY BWAH HA HA HA HA HA!"" http://www.godisimaginary.com/i21.htm

Would you die for what you believe?

by avidbiblereader in

with many strong feelings or beliefs either way for christianity, atheism, jw would you be willing to die for your beliefs, or are they just feelings that never come from the heart?

if faced with death for your beliefs, would you?.

What would you prove by dying for what you believe?

Is there a point?

Or, possibly, if you chose to die for your beliefs, you would discover that there is no death, and that you remain. Thus, dying for what you believe doesn't work in this case either.

You are the only proof for what you believe.

Without you, belief would not be possible.

Investigate all your beliefs until you discover there is no need for belief of any kind.

Belief transforms into a knowing and that knowing equates to being.

To know is to be. To be is to know.

If you chose to die for that, what would be left?

Nothing.

Would you die for nothing?

A man who is willing to die for his beliefs is pathological and a danger to himself and to others.

He is like a man who would lead others on a journey accross the desert on foot without water because he believes oases are real and convinces his followers to believe in him.

Do you believe you have a particular purpose in life?

by journey-on in

jw
friends

i ask this because as a jw, you are programmed to think your only purpose is to preach the good news of the kingdom....period.

but more and more, i've noticed in my own life a strong pull toward something i won't elaborate on, but it has me thinking that maybe we really do each have a particular purpose and it's up to us to discover what it is.

i know i'm kind of new to the forum, but please let me know if any of you have experienced this same kind of unusually strong pull toward something you can't fully explain.

Does Knowing the Truth Make you a Happier person?

by gumby in

many of us who were once jehovah's witnesses had a measure of happiness in our lives.

for me, i had a hope in the future, i had answers as to why we are all here, i believed in a loving god who looked after me and cared about me, i had answers to all of lifes big questions.. when i found out the truth about the witnesses, i was lost in a great big world and now had no answers other than the fact that what i once believed was "the truth" in actuality wasn't the truth.i now had to start all over in my search for truth.

for me, it wasn't long before i found what i thought was the truth since i always believed in the bible.
