  Is the Bible God's word? Help please.....

  by Freeandclear in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  so real quick, i know this comes up now and then and i've looked over some of the posts from the past but here's the thing.. when i was a jw i drank all the cool aid, i was 100% and so i have all my own arguments (from the jw's) for why the bible is inspired.

  i no longer believe this but i'd really like to read something that is pretty much 100% academic on this subject.

  i want to read what scholars have to say about the authenticity of the bible and it's claim at being the inspired word of god.

  What is the current suicide and mental illness rate among JWs and previous members

  by 060702015 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  there seems to be no current data on this information and there is questions concerning the validation of past data.

  apparently there is high rate of mental illness and suicide.

  jehovahs witnesses suicide rate 5 to 10 times above average.

  do you have feelings of hopelessness and fear for not having a religion?.

  do you envy happy jehovah witnesses and living their lives carefree?.

  Going to a bad place when i die

  by 060702015 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i've thought and said too much to ever gain jehovahs forgiveness and love if i want to be a christian again.

  i made a topic on my unforgivable sin and blaspemy of the holy spirit.. i feel saddness everyday having no relationship with god, no religion and fear of the afterlife.

  even when i was kid i feared death and the end of the world.

  Is this a big reason that JW's are so attractive to some out there?

  by dubstepped in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  in another thread i saw it mentioned that this elder and his wife were trying to preach to the poster here and said that they liked that jw's had answers to their questions.

  i've heard that over and over throughout the years, and it does make sense on a level.

  people in other religions sometimes have questions and are told that this or that is a mystery, or that they just have to have faith, etc.

  VIEWS ON RACE (My own)

  by TerryWalstrom in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  my views on race.

  my grandmother and mother came from new orleans without any perceivable sense of superiority toward people of color.

  the infamous n-word was never uttered in my household.

  if you had to pinpoint the time or experience that finally made you open your eyes, what would it be?.
