  Is God just your "imaginary Friend?"

  by Witness 007 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  when i had money problems i would pray to god for help.....i never got any envolopes with cash delivered to me anonomously.

  {like some pioneers} ..unless i got off my butt and earned some cash my problem remained.....when i was sick i would pray to get well...but only the doctor was any real help.....so i ask you, is jehovah or god just your imaginary friend to stop you from feeling alone?

  The Word

  by R.Crusoe in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  'in the beginning was the word.........'.

  i ask myself if i understand what 'word' means in such a context?.

  if i stand with a female in a room the silent stillness can become enchanting.. the same in a wood or anywhere in nature.. the word is in my being and temporarilly encased within my form (body) until this form dissolves and it moves onward.. the word is more than speech and essentially is not speech.

  What happened when Jesus didn't COME BACK QUICKLY? History shows...

  by Terry in

  2. friends

  clearly people in the 1st century who were jews and christians obviously felt they were living in the last days.. they lived in the roman empire.

  jewish apocalypticism influenced such thinking.

  it was a time of foment, upheaval and insecurity.

  by wings in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this topic is about the end of a relationship.

  i was reading in an old self help book on surviving divorce.

  he put the survivors into the dumpee/dumper category,and then there were the mutuals that i know nothing about.

  2. experiences

  ok, so this morning i get a call from my aunt (active jw), in a panic.

  she's telling me about what happened to her this weekend.

  apparently my scumbag of an uncle (non-jw, he faded) came home drunk, and pushing her around, raising cane, and apparently hit her a few times.

  Where do you start to find the answers to God?

  by Hope4Others in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i thought i have relatively had everything figured out, like life, death, god does he exist or does he not.

  is the bible make believe?.

  can we really be sure that it is inspired, after all we were not around to see the process being done.

  Atheist need to start fighting fire with fire LITERALY

  by 5go in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i was watching some program on the inquisition.

  you know that thing christianity would love for you to forget happened.. when the court system of rome failed the christian courts took over they instituted trial by ordeal.. simply put any accused of a crime would be tortured tested to see if they were innocent by many forms of painful test to see if god would come to the accused's defence.

  if they were innocent then no harm would happen to them because of their faith, of course pretty much 100% of the time they were hurt an were summarily executed punished with all the love of jesus in mind.. atheist should due the same accuse all of christians of crimes and force them into trial by ordeal to prove their innocence and backed by god.

  Dispelling Watchtower Myths of RC Beliefs

  by Amazing in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  over the last two years, as i moved back to the catholic church, i have been confronted with objections by several people regarding certain catholic teachings.

  these concerns are almost always the same, and are founded in mythology created by the watchtower society, and some evangelical denominations.

  god can and does use fallible men to do infallible things?
