  JW says "how could anyone learn the truth with only a bible"

  by clarity in

  i would appreciate your help trying to explain to a jw, how someone could just read a bible on their own and understand what it is all about.

  without an organization.. also, how could nonchristians or pagans etc find out about christ without someone to teach them?

  after 45 years of using the bible, it is easy for me to say to jesus question "who will you go away to?

  2 Tim 3:16,17 says the scriptures make you "completely equipped".

  Complete means you don't need anything else AKA WT mags

  Does your Cat want to sit on your Lap while you are on the Toilet .....?

  i don't know what it is ...... but it's becoming disconcerting.

  he's going to just have to sit outside the door and wait.

  i know it will be dissappointing to him , as he purrs like crazy while gathering in the experience.

  Do you enjoy watching predators hunt and kill on Nat Geo, Animal Planet, or Discovery Channel, etc?

  i've got a guilty pleasure, i enjoy watching the great white sharks sneak up on seals and ducks and all those teeth ripping flesh.

  they are beautiful creatures.

  those huge bodies flying through the air with a seal in their mouth smashing back down into the water.

  My thoughts exactly LWT...

  The idea that "God is love" is not compatible with the concept of the food chain, where most organisms must kill, frequently violently, just to survive. God of love my ass.... how about god of violence.

  Since watching porn will likely be considered brazen conduct, some of the GB's might get DFD. LOL

  Im afraid Jesus is a myth taken from the Egyptian savior Horus

  Jesus has always been seen as a positive force and associated with light, as opposed to darkness.

  Tell that to the muslims killed during the crusades and the witches burned during the inquisition. Christianity has a bloody history.

  Stop ridiculing!!!!!!

  Dionysius is not a myth. And he's upset that you all are questioning his authenticity by comparing him to that later fraud, cooked up by radical Jews, called Jesus. Drink wine, be merry, and do not doubt!

  Do You Think It's Improper To Make Fun Of The Name "Jehovah"?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  some people say "hovah' "jehoovah", etc.

  or they'll say instead of jehovah's witnesses, "hovies"....etc.. do you think that it's appropriate?.
