i was just wondering, what if afterall, christainity is right, what if there would be a ressurection, what if the heavenly hope is a valid aspiration god has set in place for faithful servants, what would be the hope of about 1.3million apostate dissidents who turned their back on the jw brand of christainity, where would they be?, some here seems to represent the anti-christ depicted in the bible, but what would be their hope, would god out of his abundant mercy shield us somehow and what would be the rationale behind his protection?.
life as we presently live it is confusing, the future as perceived is unpredictable, we may think our corpses are deemed to serve as manure, but whereas what if there is really life after death.
how would god judge those who seem to have spat on his face?, would he view us as mere victims of abundant hypocrisy in a confused world?.
Your question is a classic case of half full/half empty. Either/or.
You ask what if Christianity is right? How about ask, what if they are wrong?
It depends on how you look at it.
When you've been conditioned for years to think it's the only right way, what else can be considered right?
It's time to think outside of the box.

for some reason i have allowed myself to let my tv channel stay stuck on... wait for it... "the maury povich" show!
talk about a train wreck... or several train wrecks... looping... over... and over... and over... and after each scenario i tell myself "change the dang channel!
" then... another "wreck".
LOL @ Shelby!! I used to watch Maury when the show came on at work. And I was always shocked at the same thing.
What is wrong with those people? Why air out your business on TV? Is it really entertaining? Apparently it is or it wouldn't be on TV for so long.

i wanted to relate this experience i had on sunday while renewing ties with an old friend.
we argued about the meaning of daniel 4 and nebuchadnezzar's "tree dream".
my friend had insisted this dream told the reader the length of the gentile times.

a persistent meme that floats around on jw related internet forums holds that christ's second coming was moved forward 40 years (i.e.
from 1874 to 1914) in the year 1943.
(this appears to be based primarily on a statment in the book god's kingdom of a thousand years has approached on page 209 and to a lesser degree, a footnote at the bottom of page 133 of the publication jehovah's witnesses - proclaimers of god's kingdom.).
that it's "jewel-ry"... and not "joo-lery" (may you all have peace!)?
i know, i know... very small potatoes in the grand scheme of things.
but, dang, if you're gonna host a television jewelry show, shouldn't you at least be able to say "jewelry"?
No worries Shelby. LOL It's fun!
Here's some other ones:
Apricado instead of avocado
Shacuzzi instead of jacuzzi

@ Shelby - I just find it funny. I have pointed it out to him but it didn't phase him. So I just go with the flow.
