Hey Gumby,
I screwed Pokey! How do you feel about that? Let it flow.
Hey mac, why don't you grow up and get a life you newbie immature dipshit. When you can learn to put in some meaningful conversation on this board then maybe you'll be appreciated.
and love is not jealous, and god is a jealous god, how can he be love?
Hey Gumby,
I screwed Pokey! How do you feel about that? Let it flow.
Hey mac, why don't you grow up and get a life you newbie immature dipshit. When you can learn to put in some meaningful conversation on this board then maybe you'll be appreciated.
as i was exercising this morning i was thinking about my decision to step down as a ministerial servant and also to stop attending religious functions of any kind.
i've often felt that jws were somewhat flawed in their interpertation of the scriptures, but this morning it kind of hit me all at once that no 2 religions are going to have the exact same beliefs even though both religions might be using the same translation of the bible.
this disturbing fact raises quite a few thought provoking questions:.
Relax everyone......he'll be here in 2000 more years. He's testing us to see if we'll give up on him.
if i as a parent were to keep a pit bull or poisonous snake in my house, and it killed one of my children, what would the civil authorities do?
what would the media pundits and experts say about my parenting skills?
how would child services act had they known about the situation in advance?
Is the problem with Watchtower theology, or with the loving God concept, or both?
I would say with both. Aside from the W.T. idea.....why would God create animals to kill each other, other humans,etc. This isn't only a problem for witnesess, but for all christians to answer. Why were deadly viruses CREATED? Weren't they there before sin....or did God make deadly viruses after sin to teach us a lesson?
I chose not to think of a loving creator doing any of the above.
and love is not jealous, and god is a jealous god, how can he be love?
SS..
But really, if god was really love, he would kill no one. He would find ways to save everyone. After all, he has all time, all power, all creation, all knowledge, all the angels (yes, even the devil and demons, as the bible says he puts the old hook in their jaws to do his will), all the universe, all the powers of nature on the earth at his disposal to bring all to the realisation of his love. And so, he would win all, by all means. But, we don't see him doing much of anything, do we?
I agree 100 percent. I was only commenting on what I thought was a bad argument. If God is real.....then he could be jealous or angry and not put aside his nature of love.......according to the argument presented in this thread.
and love is not jealous, and god is a jealous god, how can he be love?
If your mate was PURPOSELY flirting with someone else and you got jealous......would that mean you don't love her. Who said love does not have a jealousy of ....."this type"?
Does love mean it CANNOT have any jealousy in it?

Bill....great job! Christianity needs more schooling on the dubs, and this is a good magazine for it.
dr. phil gave this test on oprah.
some folks pay a lot of money to find this stuff out.
don't be overly sensitive!
49 for me.
41 TO 50 POINTS: Others see you as fresh, lively, charming, amusing, practical, and always interesting; someone who's constantly in the center of attention, but sufficiently well-balanced not to let it go to their head. They also see you as kind, considerate, and understanding; someone who'll always cheer them up and help them out.
This is right on for me.
For any of you dub pioneers that might take this test:
When it comes to the walking question.....answer how you walk when NOT in service!

just so i don't miss anybody who is interested.... my results from the ekg and the echogram showed a severe leak in a heart valve.
i am going for an angiogram on the 15th but the cardiologist says the liklihood is great that i will need open heart surgery.
rare for a 30 year old but if necessary, it is necessary.. no word yet on the results of the blood work for liver enzymes and hepatitis.
Cyg. 30 years old and husky........you'll be OK. Keep in touch always.......we ARE the governing body for you......you need us! LOL Take care my friend
i just wanted to share a few things that are on my heart and mind...hope you don't mind reading.
the church i'm affiliated with has several sister churches around the world.
the purpose of those relationships is to encourage and help each other grow in our relationship with god and christ, whether it be by spiritual encouragement or physical help.
Andi. Glad you are doing what brings you happiness, and if that happiness can be passed on...........thats a good thing. Have a great time.........
at this summers district assembly, a new book was released.
worship the only true god.
two chapters puzzles me:
For any lurking dubbers
The chapter briefly describes three dogmatic concepts:
a. The history of the 144,000 and its remnant of today
The history of the 144,000
OK. Jehovah has always had a remnant on earth since 33ce. Pentecost, each succesive class feeding the next correct?
Question: Who fed C.T. Russell his food?
Answer: No one."He INDEPENDENTLY took the bible off the shelf and God turned on the light."
Proof? Read" JW's in the 20th century" page.......27 ...I think
Poor little lambs left without a shepard since ol' Freddie became worm dirt.
