The bible provides a course on what to believe...why would you need a group of anybody to tell you what to believe?

12Alpha Meetings! What are they? Who are they?
by freeborg ini was wondering if any one has ever been involved or are involved in a group known as alpha.
they provide a 15 meeting course on their beliefs.
these groups and others like them have made me wonder if we all agree that wts is corrupt and harmfull what makes another group with strong beliefs and convictions right, are we not falling into the same trap as when we were witnesses if we get involved in any of the hundreds of sects, cults, denominations that are out there.. http://alphacourse.org/about/whatis.htm

Cygnus..I had to sit through 30 minutes of explanation about why we grow old and die and what Jehovah purposes to do about it at the Kingdom Hall yesterday.
Are you back at meetings? Why?
Hang in there dude. Sounds like you have been going through the 'what is truth thing' again.The witnesess and some others divert the real meaning of what God wants....Love your fellowman/woman as yourself and love him. All other stuff is fluff!!!!!!!! Nice to hear from you dude.

Answer to give dub:
"I'll answer you sister if you can tell me what other religion claims they will be the ONLY survivors and only they have the truth?
What other religion has killed people by policies on medical matters?
What other religion have prophesied the end of the world 6 times?
What other religion changes there beliefs on matters as you people do?
Other than CULTS,,,,I can think of none. -

Quote.....One of the ways the WT tries to get you into believing you are not going to heaven even if you d not have faith in Christ is by saying that if Adam had not sinned we would all be living in a paradise earth.
The watchtower also teaches Jehovah NEVER changes his plans.
Apparently he did!How? He changed his whole plan of man living peaceful on earth with no need of Jesus as a sacrafice or as a mediator to.....now needing a government made up of Jesus, 144,000 (which will live in heaven with Jesus forever) This supposedly wasn't his original plan!
We could speculate forever on the scenarios that COULD have happened.
One thing the bible say's....He chose Jesus as a ransomer before the founding of the world.God gave us free will from the gitgo....he knew the choice we would make....he had a plan for the messup.
Hard to swallow but I do.Why would he start something destined to mess up? We may have to wait for the answer on this one!
