I don't see how it's a bag of candy since there were countless other bags of candy in the garden they were allowed to eat from, they were told the consequences , it was no big surprise even tho the devil promised they positively would not die on the day of eating from it , I think technically they became mortal and thus a day became 24hrs not a thousand years any longer so they didn't die on that 24 hr day but died before they hit 1k years old .

I've quit before and what will happen is a couple of months later the elder shepherders showed up wondering why I quit . I was so sorely tempted to tell them I really thought they are a bunch of dooshes but refrained and said my heart wasn't in it . Ahhhhh they really are a bunch of dooshes

You can't fault God for the mistakes of Adam and Eve , all he did was leave a way for them to decide where their loyalty was . The angel with the sword doesn't show up until after the evictiion so that they couldn't eat the fruit of the tree of liife and still live indefinitely, not dying of old age .IMO

What is the Biblical basis JWs are not allowed to 'witness' in churches?
by isaacaustin inwe know the book of acts shows paul doing just that.
since the wt claims to model itself off the 1st century christians, why this change?.

They already condemned the "churches of christiandom" as being the whore of babylon and the call was to ,"get out of her", not visit them . I'd like to know why the KH I attend here lately is putting down new carpet if the world is going to end any minute now ...............

Should America just pull out and leave Iraq and Afgan today regardless of outcome?
by Witness 007 injuly and august have seen the worst fighting and bloodshed since the war began....the general in afganistan has asked for a staggering 30,000 more american troops!
should america do a vietnam and pull out leaving the country to fend for itself.
i think civil war will come regardless of when and how.....today or 2012 will make no difference.

Every time I hear in the news of more and more innocents being killed is murder to me . It's already been proven that you cannot have a war on terror , there is no such thing . These wars are happening for the global elites to enslave people . I would answer yes to your question , I have no love for the military.

Yah they did step in a big pile of poopy over there . As we find out the exit strategy in Iraq worked just fine , they aren't going to end all violence in the region , I mean jeeze they can't do it in the states so why expect more from a bunch of backwards cultists? All I see is the military murdering innocent people and making the taliban the hero , The US is in big trouble economically so to believe they can sustain a presence there is really stupid . You are probably right on the trying to enslave them for economic gain . They also want control of the poppy fields to produce illegal drugs .

i almost panicked!

This religion I can see really appeals to polygamists, I think that cartoon was very freaky myself . It seems like there are some things that come from the bible , I wouldn't have a problem saying that jesus and satan are brothers since jesus is believed to have been arch angel Michael who remained loyal to God where as satan rebelled . If you join you may wind up with several wives ......he he

Governing Body's excuse - "the apostles made mistakes too"
by xelder inwe have all heard how the gb can make mistakes and it's ok because jesus apostles had wrong expectations too.
for instance.
peter had faults, james and john too - also, "lord, are you restoring the kingdom to isreal at this time" - etc.

We have this forum to throw around some thoughts on , judas was destined to do what he did, at least it isn't us .LOL I know it's hard to adhere to religion as I have tried in the past , christianity is a way of life not just a belief or a religion , I do believe that all religion has fallen short of divine standards and all people as well , even the apostle Peter proved himself a hypocrite , the bible itself has been bastardized by world rulers and charlatans . All you can do is strive to be the best you can .
