Do you realise everything about the X-Mas story is not true?

religions that say they are the sole true path to salvation need to concentrate on their unique points to prove they alone are acceptable to god.
for this reason jws seem to use the point that they do not get involved in politics as proof that they are special.
in the old testament there are a number of examples of followers of jehovah being involved in politics, so obviously it can't be that bad.
The TRUE answer to your question is determined by what God's kingdom REALLY is...an if you BELIEVE it or not! Daniel 2- especially verse 44, shows it is not simply a membership in heaven that's in our warped little hearts! YOUR thought?
jehovah's witnesses vary a great deal country to country.
i think it may be cultural or something.... ive been browsing the forum for a few days now and cant believe at times we are talking about the same religion.
and while i would never want to go back to their way of life, i honestly find it hard to believe that as an organisation they are evil.
Agape!
as you all know , gawd, a lot has happened in the last year.
the sixteen child abuse settlements in california.
now we have a perpetrator of this crime let back on the loose in great britain.
You can reach us by stopping the ridiculous attack- and attacking your OWN church for the same problem. Or, if you're an Armchair 'Christian' just typing out attacks on your puter, attacking the OTHER churches- who, like us, have Pretenders among them as well!
(faith lost in the scripture).
Very well put!
to accept the existence of god?
(i'm not talking about "a big man in the sky" kind of deity.
) what would it take to convince you that mankind was intentionally created by a powerful and intelligent creative force?
"Proof" means something entirely different here! Proof is everywhere in Nature- but few lump "God" with the concept of religion- and thus embrace evolution! Religion has been the very WORST influence in human history! Unfortunately it poisions most peoples minds against believing in God- REGARDLESS of evidence and proof!
anyone ever wonder why ...if there is no hell and we are not going to burn etc etc because god is a loving god......why do we bother because w'all going to die and we are not going to be observing the righteous jw's enjoying through a glass window while we are suffering on the other side......just wondering?
?
Who worries?
somehow, i wound up at a local baptist church.
folks were friendly and welcoming, the hyms made musical and verbal sense (mostly, one was about praising his name but never actually used a name except lord)) and the public talk (umm sermon) was taken from luke 13-34 inclusive.
there was no jumping to unconnected verses and no buzz words instead of logic.
Well now you can learn about the Sacred Mystery of the Catolic Trinity, the Eternal BBQ Pit, etc- and can commit to have a percentage of your paycheck (assuming you work) taken for church expenses- namely that smiling pastor's home & car...I'd be smilin too!
C'mon, BD- to be human is to BE corrupt!
Are you looking for a faultless group?
Are you trying to gimme a heart attack? Kind words on THIS site????????
Thank you, my friend!
Agape,
the Mad JW
