And this comment shows that you DO NOT know what I believe. It also shows me that you weren't born again and still think Christianity is based on JW theology. Obviously the Spirit is not magic. He is a person.

But I agree that we can agree to disagree, and I will no longer talk with you about this subject since you are so much more educated than me in every subject including the Bible.

I just wish you didn't take it to the personal level and bring out my age as if you being old has any bearing. The GB are old and they are fools. (Not saying anything about you of course... )

Good Or Bad Idea?

i recently faded and my mother is bugging me to go to the memorial this year.

i have no interest in going at all!

however i have an idea and i think it would be funny.

brotherdan

I'll tell her its because when I die I'm going to heaven.

Do you believe in Christ as your savior? Whether you do it at home, at a Kingdom Hall, or at a campsite it is still a celebration of the hope that Jesus gave you and the thanks you have for Him giving His life for your personal sins. Don't do it just to be funny or rebelious. Read Romans 8 and 1 John 5, and then decide if you should partake.

I've heard comments just like this from COs on the platform, but not at the memorial. It does not surprise that he would say this though. JWs are just waiting for the change of message from one of hope (paradise earth) to one of judgement (you're all dead now).

If Armageddon came tomorrow, would Jehovah kill a billion children?

i just looked up some population statistics.

i saw there are over a billion children under the age of 10 on the earth today.

(didn't research too hard - just googled it.

When I read your posts I get the feeling that you are confident with your Biblical defenses. So these statements of yours don't make sense to me.

I am making a defense of my faith. I'm trying to show that I believe in God. I am to defend God to others according to what I've learned about Him and Jesus Christ. I don't see how this doesn't make sense. I am strong in my faith. And I am confident in my hope. God does not NEED little ol' me. If I can help 1 person to see that the accusations of God being a murderous monster are invalid then it's worth it to me. According to the Bible that person would have been helped by someone else eventually, but I consider it an honor if I can be used as part of God's purpose.

I guess it would be like me saying, "Evolutionary thought does not need your defense Sab. Why do you feel like you need to defend it. It will live on without you."

if you're really interested in truth and not fairy tales, then you'll have to start thinking logically with fact based research

According to you, what is truth? I do much fact based research outside of the Bible. And I've posted my views on evolution and atheism on other threads. They just don't hold up, to me. I don't have any cognitive dissonance going on. It may seem that way to you, but the conclusions I've come to (IMO) are the best that I can accept based on available information.

When I question your knowledge of the Bible it is because some of the things that you have brought up are clearly talked about in the Bible and you haven't acknowledged them. It would be like me acting like an expert on the arguments of Richard Dawkins when I don't fully understand why he has said the things he's said. But if I was offensive by saying you didn't know the Bible, then I apologize.
