  what i have noticed since pulling away from group thinking, mindsets, rules and superstitions, that i am open to a broader range of loving people.. i am not sure i can blame all this on the jw expericance.

  as children we are taught from our tribe, (family and enviroment, church, school, extended family, neighborhood..........who to love and who not to love.

  i used to believe as the witnesses taught, you have to "beat" the evil out of children.. have you ever watched a group of small children unattended?

  I understand your sentiment. My advise if you have trouble reading the Old Testament then just stick with the New Testament for a while.

  I was logged off which out requesting this and BB will not allow me to log on as "Jehovah Saves" any more.
  
  I assume someone thinks this is applicable?
  
  NWT 7 “You must not take up the name of Jehovah your God in a worthless way, for Jehovah will not leave the one unpunished who takes up his name in a worthless way.
  
  If so all people with the name "Joshua" are condemned as their name means "Jehovah Saves" from the Hebrew?!

  The Holy Spirit

  by Frenchy in

  okay, i'm interested in what everybody thinks on this.

  i believe that for the most parts all religions start off with a good motive, i.e., to provide a forum that will help people to serve god.

  (basically).

  This is how...
  
  John 14
  Jesus Promises the Holy Spirit
  
  15"If you love me, you will obey what I command. 16And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Counselor to be with you forever— 17the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be[c] in you. 18I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you. 19Before long, the world will not see me anymore, but you will see me. Because I live, you also will live. 20On that day you will realize that I am in my Father, and you are in me, and I am in you. 21Whoever has my commands and obeys them, he is the one who loves me. He who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I too will love him and show myself to him."
  
  23Jesus replied, "If anyone loves me, he will obey my teaching. My Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him. 24He who does not love me will not obey my teaching. These words you hear are not my own; they belong to the Father who sent me.
  
  25"All this I have spoken while still with you. 26But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you.
  
  1 Corinthians 6
  19Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; 20you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your body.
  
  Titus 3
  
  5 he saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit,
  
  1 Corinthians 2:14
  
  14The man without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned.

  Hi purps,
  I am here in love, not to offend. Please forgive me if I have offended you in any way.
  
  I too was raised with Biblical teaching, but without the JW influence on my life (save the odd knock at the front door once in a while).
  
  None of us has the answers-only God. Not surprising as He was there in the beginning and knows the end already.
  
  Yes there are only two paths in life-the narrow one to God or the broad road which leads to destruction.
  
  It is good for none of us to judge, as Jesus (who is the judge) says 'judge and you will be judged'.
  
  God loves accepts us as we are. Gay or straight, black or white, rich or poor, yourself, myself and BarbieDoll included. All have sinned and fallen short of His glory. He wants to change us and save us from the consequences of our sin, which is death. All we have to do is ask.
  
  Would it be more loving if God just destroyed us all such as the world in the days of Noah? He is giving us a chance which we don't deserve so grab it with both hands.
  
  Love TLK

  Would you live your life differently, if you new what happens after death?

  so i had a thought today, that may spark some interesting conversation......

  if you were able to die.....totally, and utterly dead.and see what there really is for your own eyes/soul after death......not what the bible says, not what your mom, dad, preacher, rabbi,faithful and discreet slave, conscience ...whatever says will happen....but what really happens......( who can say for sure they know by the way), and then somehow you were brought back,

  would you live your life differently?

  Good verse-maybe you are a prophet in the making?!
  
  Only problem is it doesn't say that Gods will delight in your destruction. It is His will than you won't perish. I think you have a verse for that already?

  Did Jesus come to save Satan and other sinners?

  by LouisVILE Slugger in

  2. beliefs

  did jesus come to save satan and other honest admitted sinners?.

  or hypocrites and liars who are successful at covering up their sins and crimes to those who follow and look to them for guidance?.

  what happens if satan is forgiven..who will everyone blame for their problems and shortcomings then?

  "In reading the bible I cant tell where satan has really done much wrong compared to Joehova"
  
  Well try reading Ezekiel 28-it is clear.

  What is better, my opinions or God's?
  
  NWT 8 “For the thoughts of YOU people are not my thoughts, nor are my ways YOUR ways,” is the utterance of Jehovah. 9 “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so my ways are higher than YOUR ways, and my thoughts than YOUR thoughts
