who/what do you think jesus was?
and how did you arrive at that conclusion?
In nutshell, Jesus is the word of God.
God's word is so awesome that it is a projection of himself. His words are alive and are life.
When Jesus 'put on the flesh' [or became man], the fullness of God was content to dwell within him.
Sorry, no scriptural reference points for my nutshell
i was listening to my brother in law talk about his job this week.
he had a stable job for a long time.
it was not without problems but it was there.
Many times people curse a lot because of a limited vocabulary. More education [from an accredited source say even BYU] would certainly help ones dialect to improve exponentially.
6 weeks ago some jws came to my door.
i've been inactive for 8 years.
after they gave their presentation i told them i was inactive.
I agree with Cofty, sure the world can be awful and hateful and it can be intimidating, but also beautiful and wondrous. There are those who love God with all their heart and love their neighbor as themselves....and there are those who do not. It has always been that way.
Let your God given intelligence with sound reasoning guide your decisions on where to turn.
Also, it is good that JW.org is out there. People will be seeing JWfacts and other JW websites that are doing research.

child murder, sodomy & corrupting the human genome are not new sins, they are old ones.
what is new is their institutionalization.
but even that isn't totally new.
Morality is an interesting thing. There were certainly moral people throughout history, but there was no standard of morality until the church established it.
The same is true of civil/human rights. Of education, of healthcare,of caring of the old, the poor, the feable, the handicap, etc. There were always some people who did these things, but there was no standard until the Church [the Catholic church} established it.
just saying it cause it's true
i was told there was new light by a former jw.
i wanted to verify if it was true.
the new light claims the annointed class/144k is always male.
Wow, my sincere apologies for my rude post
sorry

144k annointed virgin Jewish males who follow the lamb where ever he goes.
Ya that sounds exactly like the WTS governing body
just saying that this whole idea is a big fu*&ing joke on anyone who believes such nonsense.
What a fu*^ed up thing.
just my [not so] humble opinion
recently, since my d/aing, i've heard the same old cobblers has been said to and by my family members.
(more than likely referring to me).. ''jehovah(tm) will judge.
he knows who will survive and be destroyed at armageddon.
With the whole 'lying for the truth' or 'spiritual warfare' thing, how do you NOT make stuff up? Doesn't that mean that you decide when to be truthful?
just asking

i was told that today by a jw...no more to say.
you may accept orange fractions in the form of orange juice (without pulp, of course) or combined with vanilla ice cream in the form a Creamsicle pop.
ugh, that's so gay!
i have no problem saying atheists and christians are equal.. but some people seem to have the belief that atheists are more likely to be morally good, or more likely to change the world for good, than christians and theists.. but what evidence do you have to support this claim?.
if atheism is what causes people to do great positive things for the world, then why weren't martin luther king, jr., william wilberforce, isaac newton, francis collins, barack obama, mother theresa, abraham lincoln, or john f. kennedy atheists?.
An interesting question. Here's my answer.
I agree that there are good and bad people of all faiths and of no faith at all as stated by others posted earlier.
I think the standards of morality that we now have are because of people of faith in a supreme God.
I think the same thing of hospitals, old age homes, orphanages, food banks, shelters and universities.
Specifically those institutions were started by the Church and were only later adopted by others who saw the good and wanted to continue the good without faith.
Again, that's not to say that there were no doctors, teachers, or those who wanted to help the poor, it's just that there weren't any of those people organized before the Church did it.
just saying
