If SATAN could offer you something desireable, would you accept it?

by JH in

jw
friends

if it was possible for satan to offer you something desireable, knowing that god wouldn't approve of it, would you accept it anyways.. now, if you don't believe in god, you won't believe in satan either so this question doesn't apply to you..

"You can dance with the devil but you can't lead." 1 John 2:16, "...everything in the world - the desire of the flesh and the desire of the eyes and the showy display of one's means of life - does not originate with the Father, but originates with the world."

Gun control logic

by Gregor in

the v tech shooter bought his guns legally.

gun control laws don't stop this kind of determined killer anywhere in the world.

the defenseless victims couldn't carry a gun legally on campus if they had one.

Repeat; "People kill people not guns".

Looking for a scripture...

by Tuesday in

any help would be fantastic.

the scripture is one that is lik luke 21:8 saying beware of those saying the end is near.

however i'm fairly sure it's in one of the books of timothy.

Since no man knows the day an hour of the end according to the account in Matthew 24, the scripture that I sent to the org for them to mention dates is in 1 Corth 4:6 which says, "Do not go beyond the things that are written," Matthew 24 gives no dates., signs yes, but no dates.

Also at Galations 1:6-9 it talks about good news "beyond' was it declared it should be considered accursed. I hope this helps. By the way, the org. never responded to my 22 page letter.

Duke Vindicates Jehovah's Ways

by Justitia Themis in

i found this on the "e-watchman exposed" db.

the post speaks for (or against) itself.

the duke case is a tragedy, but is certainly does not argue for the "two-witness" rule.

Can you cite some examples of unfairness? I give credit where credit is due, I apply this to organizations & individuals.

Did Being In The Organization Produce Anything Good?

by The wanderer in

did being in the organization produce anything good?everyone has his or her perspective and viewpoint about the watchtower society.. true, most of us on this board know the history and story behind the watchtower.

however, is there anything that you learned from your jehovahs witness past that .

you appreciate even today?.

I lived during some of the exciting years. Beginning in the late forties and fifties it was action filled. When I did street work as a kid I was called a communist. The organization battled against the C.C. They battled for the right to preach publicly in courts. As influential as the C.C was, the witnesses won their case to publicly preach. Not saluting the flag was interesting. This is but a few of other happenings that were exciting, hey folks, the times were much different. Witnesses of today can't equate to such experiences.

I've extracted the good out of such experiences and applied them to my personal life. I've done good for myself.

Are You A Pharisee? No? Are You SURE? :-)

by FireNBandits in

are you a pharisee?

have you ever wondered what the modern equivalent of a pharisee wearing a phylactery is?

(for those who dont know, a phylactery was a little box that ancient jews would secure to their forehead with a strap, and inside the box was the shema or other important scriptures.

Pharisee's are self-righteous persons !!!!!

What is the solution?

by purplesofa in

jw

most of us seem to be concerned about world problems, from iraq, oil, darfur, katrina victims, mental illness, global warming, starvation, crooked politicians, child abuse, healthcare, racism, prejudice etc etc etc.. we know there are just really people out there that don't care or pay attention to the planet or each other.

daily things get worse.

if they are getting better the media fills us with negative negative negative all day long.. i think some here believe things will always be the way they are, its human nature.

What is the solution? A very good question. Since I believe in a Creator, that means I also believe he is the solution. Why do I say this, because time is not on our side, he is time! Man is trying to prove that he doesn't need a lawgiver to direct his life. Man has chosen to be independent of a Creator. Man thinks he can survive without a Creator. Well, what has man accomplished during his independence? What does man depend on? Air to breath, water and food for a continued existence. We have no control over shitting and pissing. We cannot live a normal life without proper sleep and lastly we will grow old and die. Do we have control over these facts?

Many people besides JW's think about world problems and solutions. There are some people who spend their time and energy in making others aware of what's going on in the world i.e. view www.newswithviews.com and read what Devvy Kidd, Nancy Levant and many other writers have to say about world problems and they're suggestions. There is a solution.
