  Something to Think About

  by Mr. Falcon in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  how will it seem years from now when all that we cherish and believe will become as dusty exhibits in a museum?

  we are constantly finding ourselves in different states of being, between breakfast and dinner.

  perhaps, even that final snack before we are carried off in a realm of terrifying heights or ages undreamed of.

  Do People Believe We Are Condemned B/c of Adam and Eve?

  by Band on the Run in

  i find the notion that we inheirited sin through adam and eve to be a quaint, silly notion.

  if you believe in the power of god, why would god create such a flawed creation?

  few people believe the stories in genesis.

  How Science has advanced since the Victorian Era...

  by ziddina in

  1. social
  2. current

  buttonhooks, steam-run horseless carriages, corsets, steamships, gaslight streetlights, wax candles..... these things were considered the 'latest' in "modern conveniences" during the victorian era.. the victorian era also ushered in some exciting new scientific discoveries and inventions - uranium, x-rays, electric telegraphs, bicycles, and a good part of the industrial revolution.. of course, nowadays we wouldn't dream of using buttonhooks to 'button up' our shoes, nor would we even consider having a steam-powered "horseless carriage" in our garage.. we wouldn't allow a dentist to work on us using 19th-century tools or techniques, nor would we trust a psychologist who insisted on using "phrenology" to determine why we have mood swings or depressions....

  Looking After Widows and Orphans... and Spending One's "Riches"

  by AGuest in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  to the household of god, israel, and those who go with... may you all have peace!.

  from time to time the issue of how to fulfill the "form of worship that is acceptable to god," mentioned by james in his letter, namely, looking after widows and orphans "in their tribulation"... comes up.

  given the issue of tithing, the plethora of institutionalized charity choices, and the existence of ones in need, perhaps in our own households and families... but certainly in our towns, countries... and around the world... how does one fulfill this requirement?

  TIME TO VENT - What Is Your Least Favorite Thought Terminating Cliche' ?

  by Perry in

  2. beliefs

  definition: a thought-terminating cliche is a commonly used phrase, sometimes passing as folk wisdom, used to quell cognitive dissonance.. here's mine: we don't believe that way ..... we are christians in this home..

  Does God's foreknowledge take away from free will?

  by Christ Alone in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  just by knowing what will happen, that doesn't mean that we can prevent or cause something to happen.

  my knowing that does not prevent them the free will of making the choice.. it's the same with god.

  if god is not restricted to existence in the present, then the future is known by god because god indwells the future as well as the present and the past.
