  What is your personal definition of evil?

  how do you see evil in general?

  recently a book i came across people of the lie by a well known psychologist m. scott peck discussed evil and evil in some of his patients.

  to him any harm whatsoever inflicted on another person is evil and a mental illness that can be cured.

  My personal definition of evil is when someone persists in knowingly and maliciously harming someone else.

  That is something. I remember the 1975 yearbook making much of his shorthand taking ability.

  I feel so unproductive!

  Smellsgood, honey child, I know this is a trite expression, but I believe it's quality not quantity that matters. It's good to have you back. When are you going to have another round with Tyrone van leyen?

  ... finding a heavenly hope...

  by Redwood in

  being brought up as a jw in the 70's +++ it was instilled in me that my hope was for everlasting life in a perfect world.

  only 144,000 were going to heaven to rule with jesus.

  my heart was shaped by a very traumatic event 3 yrs ago this labor day.

  Just by looking at the avatar, I thought WTWizard had fallen completely out of his tree!

  Welcome to the forum, Redwood. I would say to you, don't worry about "finding" anything. From a reading of the Gospels, especially John's, the Holy Spirit will find you. Peace and love on your journey.

  When was Jesus born?

  by Anti-Christ in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the wt always put a lot of importance on the subject that jesus was not born the 25 of dec. now my question is why is there two different stories in the bible about jesus birth?

  in luke 2 there is one story and in matthew there is an other.

  in luke it says that jesus was born during a census when quirinius was governing syria but in matthew it says that he was born when herod the great was still alive.

  Galatians 4:4 But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law ...

  The above statement works quite well for me, thank you for asking. My faith in Him is not dependent on knowing when He was born.

  The newbies just keep right on a-comin' and a-comin.' The least we can do is give them a helping hand.

  There would be four words that would be the top of the teaching list and that would be, Faith, Hope, Love and Peace.....

  That's it. And the greatest of these four is love.
