He was praying to His Father in heaven. A brush up on what the trinity actually teaches (compared to what the WT says it teaches) would probably help you to understand a little bit better. In short, it teaches that God exists as three persons, but one substance. The persons are not to be confused, nor the substance divided. Saying that Jesus is God is in agreement with that teaching. However, He is not the Father or the Holy Spirit. He is the Son. Hope that answers your question.

Religion
by Undecided inis there anyway to verify any religion as having the truth?
is it just a feeling some have that they get from believing something "spiritual" caused them to have a relationship with a god.. the preacher of the church that my wife and i attend said that jesus was god today.
i was reading in the bible about how jesus would leave his disciples to pray.

Do the beliefs of JW's actually improve the quality of their lives?
by gaiagirl indo the beliefs common to jw's cause them to have a happier worldview and a better outlook on life?

No. I completely agree with what others have wrote so meticulously. This religious sect utterly destroys families and basic human expression. The progressive method of indoctrination embeds learned helplessness and produces a system of bondage so evil that, for the most part, people are powerless to escape. The tentacles are so invasive that even for most of those that have left, it continues to influence their lives extensively. The WT sect is the epitome of satanic manipulation and only serves to keep its adherents in complete darkness.

Any "Born Again" Christians here?

Absolutely, even though I didn't understand at the time what was happening. The Lord baptized me in the Holy Spirit, placed me in the body of Christ and revealed the Father to me following a time of intense self-examination that resulted in earth shattering repentance.

What is truth?
by ldrnomo indo you remember that question that was asked of jesus by pontious pilate almost 2000 years ago?.

You don't believe what I just said or you wouldn't have posted this thread or responded in the way you did. Simple reality is that you don't have to believe what ANY HUMAN on this earth says when you can personally know the truth in the person of Jesus Christ. It's not a make believe relationship where you talk to open space, it's a personal relationship that's established by simple faith through the power of the Holy Spirit. He spread his arms to embrace humanity 2000 years ago. He's alive today and forevermore and is knocking on the door of each person's heart. But heaven forbid that you should believe what anyone says. Experience truth for yourself, if you dare. Are you 'truly' a truth seeker? Stop looking all around you. Look up and seek with a pure heart and meet Truth for yourself. Then you will wonder no more....AND you will possess the power (the filtering power of the Holy Spirit) to discern truth in others.

road to paradise (witness E-mail)
by darth frosty inwarning this is the worst witness e-mail i have ever read.

The burden of their load (no matter how heavy or light....20 meetings, 1 meeting) falsely leads them to believe God owes them something. Reality is that He doesn't. Nobody will ever work their way to paradise. Our life here's a journey. Christ effectively vanquishes man-made loads. Too bad so few take Him at His word. The 'gap' is already bridged. And He adds no burdens to his gift.

I live in an area that offers dialup or satellite. We were on dialup for years. It was slow and constantly aggravating. I hated it and would periodically call around for better service. Then we learned about the internet cards offered by alltel and att. We bought one and LOVE it. You might see if one would work in your area. BTW, it's wireless and plugs into a laptop USB port. When we travel, it goes with us. It makes surfing the net a snap, even on the highway.

I never quit praying. And when those prayers stopped being about me and simply a seeking the face of God out of a pure heart (something else I had prayed for), that's when it all turned around and He answered my prayers beyond anything I could have imagined. He really is there. Motives are what counts.

Prove That Jehovah's Witnesses Do Not Act As "True Christians"
by minimus inwitnesses pride themselves as being "true christians".
i think they are frauds!
how would you show that, in reality, jws are far removed from real christianity?.

Being Christian is not an act, it's a transformation, an ongoing process aided by the Holy Spirit himself.

Dear Changeling,
Been down that road too. It is, however, a time for you to develop another dimension of life. This time it's about you. Take the time to enjoy things that make you happy. Before you know it your babies will be blessing you with grandbabies. And THAT is a whole other dimension. I LOVE it!
