as he was going up on the way, there were small boys that came out from the city and began to jeer him and that kept saying to him: "go up, you baldhead!

go up, you baldhead!

Are u kidding. I want to believe. I want to know who God is. I want to be his friend. I want to walk with him. I want . i want i want.....But i cant i cant i cant. Im forced by the Bible itself and a silent God into agnosticism. If you know God introduce me in all sincerity.

What I meant, kind sir, is there so I don't know all ththat I wasn't e circumstances

Thats certainly a fine way to respond to this conundrum. Its the same way I would have responded when i was still a JW to a question I couldnt understand. I dont fault you for your reasoning at all. But you have to admit it does READ like fable, myth or story. If we say that we dont know all the circumstances after reading these verses and walk away with an unclear impression AS believers,then it follows that"OUR GOD" has not ensured his Word was made more clearly understood, A great many passages in the Bible are in the category of "I wasnt there I dont know all the circumstances"....lets take for example THE RESSURECTION. I wasnt there and I dont know all the circumstances. Was he really killed, did they really hang him and then take him down , did an angel appear , did he really appear here and there after he died ect ect....I wasnt there I dont know all the circumstances. Based on Christian history and its ever changing styles Im going to go with this is strictly story. UNless of course its proven otherwise.

Humm...intresting how the "hard and fast" Christians never make an appearance on threads such as these. I d like to know why. If your reading this ...explain to me how this scripture makes sense to believe in . Explain to me how its WORTH believing in this scripture. Wrap yourhead around a mercyful loving God setting an example for dumb children by KILLING THEM WITH BEARS. Lets see.....if this was myth or folk, then IT would make sense..

My Story-A Sioux Indian in the Watchtower Organisation

by ExjwSiouxChief in

friends

my name is chief waneta ('the charger') of the sioux nation.

since the leaving of the seven falcons when i was a child, my family joined the jw cult.

chief waneta wanted to do a rain dance.

chrisjoel

Hi Chief! I d be intrested to know more about your time as a JW. Was it only the fact that you couldnt participate in pow wows and other sioux nations culture things that made you leave or something else. I have a friend in Niagara Falls Ontario who participates in pow wows near Windsor Ontario Canada. Its not often that I hear a chief leaves the organization. Do any of your family get the "urge" to understand your point of view?
