  My interesting anti-witness to a phone rep......

  by megsmomma in

  2. experiences

  i am really excited about this...i feel like it was "meant to be".. i called my cell phone company to see about getting my grandparents on the same net work, but had to make sure they would get reception in both places they live.

  (they go back and forth from nevada to ohio) i also checked into getting them the same type of phone i have so i could show them how to work the darn thing.. the woman i spoke to was very nice and she said she wanted to commend me for showing such love to my grandparents and how there weren't a-lot of people who would do that.

  i told her that they were wonderfull grandparents and are really like my parents because they have taken over the parent role to me since my own are in a cult and have disowned my family.. we talked a little about that and i said i wasn't angry with my parents, just sad because they are being tricked into thinking they are doing the right thing...and she asked "if you don't mind saying, what religion are they in?

  So, MM- what do YOU believe to be "the REAL truth"?

  Please don't say "Jesus"; he is, as we all know. I'm talking about your perception of who God and Christ ARE, and what their will is!

  Should Christians be involved in politics?

  by jwfacts in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  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.

  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!

  What kind of positive proof would you need....

  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!

  A funny thing happened on the way to the Hall...

  by Uncertain in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  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!
