in the public edition of the april 1 wt, the questions from readers twists scriptures, meanings, and language to come to the conclusion that hell is not a place.. whether you believe in hell or not, you have to agree that their methods of arguing this point are dishonest.
note this quote:.
"jesus knew that the very thought of burning.
"God is not against burning wicked people alive".
Well isn't that just great. He sounds like a great guy. You say that as if it's a good thing.
"never intended for Isaac to be killed, but merely wished to see if Abraham would obey".
Again, such a great quality this so called "loving" god has. Makes me just wanna tear up with joy.
"If God does not judge and punish, then he is the ultimate enabler. And THAT is perfectly logical".
Yeah... makes a TON of sense. Very logical indeed.
there are many "proof" texts that people (including jws) use to justify their rejection of anyone that is gay.
there are a few scriptures that you can pull up and try to make a case for show homosexuals why they are evil and wrong.. i've been researching more of these scriptures and i'm coming to some very different conclusions than many other christians hold, especially jws.
i wanted to talk about the first text used by many people to condemn homosexual behaviour.
"Genesis is a history book".
Oh dear!!!!
talk about courage.
these people are literally risking their lives.. .

"look at our world through the eyes of suzie, a devoutly religious girl who sees divine love and intervention everywhere.
this cocoon of comfort keeps her ignorant of science and safely away from critical thought, but it sure makes her happy.
if you've interacted with the deeply religious, you've probably met someone in your own life that is just like her".

some here know, i am a firm believer in 12/21/12.
so i asked, can you deny it?
it started in 2007, comes to a height in 2012 and ends in 2018. enjoy the ride, your screwed.
"If you do the SMALLEST amount of REAL research on this, you will see that there really isn't anything there to believe in".
Oh the irony!!!
i've seen several posts relating to the mood among longtime jws here recently.
i thought i would add to that collection and recount a discussion i recently had with my dad and a small group of folks about his age.
quick background on the group:.
I'm with Quendi on this. This organization isn't going anywhere folks. Yeah it's going to have to adapt to survive, and it will. We just have to be here for our friends and family when they're ready to leave to help them pick up the pieces.
Oh by the way, welcome Quendi.

"throughout our history, religious leaders and organizations have claimed that their holy books provide accurate prophecies about the end of the world.
the examples shown in this video are (relatively) fringe organizations, but despite their overt activism and cult-like behavior, organizations like familyradio.com provide a glimpse into what the more mainstream religions adhere to and believe.
pastors, priests, apologists, ministers, religious philosophers and leaders of every kind, from every generation, have quoted from the books of daniel and revelation about the end of days.
Sorry OBVES. I forgot you are also a Camping follower. Should have included your name in the title.
Talk to you in about 3 1/2 months.
