Bible study Questions

by bite me in

what is the best way to have a bible study without the use of watchtower or awake magazines, just with the bible itself?

is the best way to just read a book of the bible and study that or read a chapter of a book, or word (topic).

then once you figure what you want to do, what is the best way to break it down.

That was actually useful information and exactly what I was looking for. In a way I do that already; look at outlines. I thnk would be something that I would want to do, create outlines on my own with information I understand on my own. I think that is where I have the most difficulty. I have a few study books that I got from local christian book stores. They pretty much hold questions which allows the readers to find the information themselves. I'm really skeptical on studying that way because I really want to find the information myself and not spoon fed.

I have a book that has every word of the bible in it, I tried studying that way but became overwhelmed. I tried studying a full book of the bible, even a small book and still found it overwhelming. I guess my next step is to break it down by chapter.

I used to have a book that helped with that, but my problem was not really knowing what to put down.

I have not tried the audio, I have thought about that but at first it seemed to elementary for me. When they read it, is it slowly drawn out or does the person reading the bible do a great job? Any recommendations on which brand/author to see if I can find?

Once again thank you for the info.

Baptismal Questions

by LovesDubs in

i was baptized june 1, 1985. thats the day they started using the new baptismal questions in their baptismal talk on the baptismal day to all the baptismal candidates.

did any of you actually hear those questions they made you stand up to hear read?

would any of us at that moment in time actually have said anything but a resounding "yes!!!

bite me

I had a question regarding "God's spirted directed organization" found in the baptismal question. Since the watch tower teaches that the Holy Spirt (althrough they lower case it) is God's active force, would that mean Gods active force is guiding the organization?

What lengths did you go to, to not miss meetings?

by exwitless in

i posted this in another thread, but i thought it would merit a thread.

the elders in our cong.

likened missing a memorial to an "unforgivable sin".

bite me

I have a question:

What does one mean when they say "I will get into trouble if I miss another meeting" ? This is coming from a grown adult. What kind of trouble and why?

Don't invite any witnesses to the study. They would be of no value without the society's literature

Exactly what I was thinking. I need ideas that would not need the use of their literature, using the bible as it was meant to be, without mans twisted interpretations.

I set myself on fire!!!

i was wearing a cotton bathrobe this weekend and went to the gas stove to adjust the coffee pot.

suddenly there was a burst of flame on top part of my sleeve.

tore the bathrobe off, threw it to the floor, and stomped it out, although the fire caught on another part of the bathrobe and i had to keep stomping.

bite me

That "big burst of flame" is scary. My oven does that a lot. I get scared Im going to get burned one day. I had my robe on one day when i saw that flame and I thought, geez what if it caught me on fire. That would be the end of my victoria secret robe. . So I don't wear long sleves and hope that my arm doesn't get burned instead.

Becareful everyone.

Then once you figure what you want to do, what is the best way to break it down. I've found sites and books that seemed to be useful, but I am interested in seeing if anyone here has some other ideas that would be a great way to dig further into the bible.

Personally I have read the whole bible about 5 times through, but I am interested in reading it again but this time really getting into it.
