God & Santa

2. beliefs
just like people choose to believe in santa claus and the easter bunny, knowing they're not real but it's fun to believe, is there anything wrong with going to church and believing in the christian god when deep down you know its not real either?

that's where i'm at these days.

how do you feel?.

IS THERE ANY JUSTIFCATION THAT THE GOD OF THE BIBLE KILLED BABIES.??

.

assuming the bible true:.

thinking of the story of the way that jehovah, through samuel and saul, dealt with the amalekites; with the discovery of the criminal gene, could this justify the god of the bibles actions against these nations, when he put out the order to not have compassion for them, and the israelites were ordered to put to death, man as well as woman, child as well as suckling...??

What Do You Say To Those Who Have Lost Someone In Death?

i find it more difficult to be genuinely helpful by my words when condolences are in order.

when i was a jw, i'd give people the "ressurection hope" and feel i could give a measure of solace.

now, i feel inadequate when offering my thoughts.. what do you say when a dear loved one passes away?.

Are you scared to watch the news?

i'm a newbie as far as delving into information other than wt based, and have only just started posting on this board...so maybe the following thought will be old hat to some of you, not a concern or perhaps something you occasionally think about.

but, are you scared to watch the news?

purely for the fact of seeing things go on in the world that would prompt you to think about your jw upbringing?

How much apostate is in each JW ?
by inbetween in
1. jw
2. experiences
recently i talked to some jw, even so called strong ones in the truth:.

i noticed, they do not believe everything from the wts, for example:.

one older sister, a close relative of mine, she has been pioneering for years, babtizes over 40 years ago, mentioned, that sometimes she wonders about certain teaching, but she can not say anything, because somebody would say, she speaks against jehovah himself..further she said, she remmebers 1975, and that the society tried to blame the brothers, but was clearly responsible itself... i was quit shocked to hear that from her, and i added some careful comments in the same direction.... other brothers do not agree with certain teachings, like resurrected ones will not marry, or animals will not eat each other etc.... maybe those are "minor" issues, but if you doubt one teaching of gods channel, doesnt that mean, you doubt the whole thing ?.
