i know that has probably been covered ad infinitum on jwd.

so...... if jehovah is omnipotent, then there is nothing he can't do and nothing he doesn't know.. and, according to jws (as well as most other religions), god is love.

therefore he had to have known, even before creating all of creation, what would happen.

Have u found friendships w/ worldy people be hard?
by blkblk13 in
1. jw
2. experiences
so, i'm embarking on slow fade and i think it's time for me to start making friends w/ some non-jdubs so that i'll have a support network once i decide to be completely out and everyone ive ever known abandons me.

ive always gotten along much better w/ wordly people than jdubs so i'll haveno problem securing friends but im concerned about being to keep them.. i want out of the org for various reasons but i must admit i still believe many of the teachings.

i just think the leadership and organization itself is corrupt.

Is Jdubs practice of Teenage baptism really any better than Infant Baptism?
by blkblk13 in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
so i was thinking the other day about how the jdubs always mock the catholics for baptizing infants who can't make a true commitment to god so the sybol of dedication is empty.

well, as anyone who's been in the org knows there is a culture of pressuring teenagers to get baptized.

if u r over 12yo it is a question that is constantly asked.

Do you get upset when people don't believe that same way you do?
by loosie in
1. jw
2. experiences
is it a normal reaction to get mad when you talk to someone who doesn't believe that way you do?.

the reason i ask is that i don't believe in the most common christianity.

when i come across a person and they ask how i feel about something and i tell them how i feel.
