What say you Christians ???

by wobble in

it seems to me that most, if not all christians are really hung up on sin and redemption from sin and how naturally evil we all are.. my question, and observation is this : i had nothing to do with whatever you say adam and eve did wrong, i have always, throughout my life, treated whoever i came into contact with compassion, respect and love.. i have lived by the golden rule.. not many people, hand on heart, can say that, i can.. so, is your god going to judge me for the "sin" of some mythical forebears of mine ?

is he going to say that , because i did not believe in him, i willl be judged adversely, even though i lived by the precepts he is supposed to support ?.

all i can say is, if your god is like that, i refuse to worship or acknowledge him.. and i certainly do not want to get to know him.

Wobbie,

Althought we will be judged for our own sins, and not for Adam's transgression. The fact of the matter is is that we were yet unborn when Adam sinned, and we have all inherited the death sentence from Adam. So, if you're growing older and you think you'll die in the next 80 to 100 years, then yes, Adam's sin does have consequences for you, although they are not some mystical 'judgement' to be meeted out to you in the sky, but in the here and now, the fact that we're all growing older and then we die is proof enough that God did indeed sentence Adam and Eve to death, for if they had not sinned, we would all live forever in perfect human bodies right here on this earth.

JAPANS EARTHQUAKE - Aftershock Sequence

by sizemik in

jw
friends

below is a link to an interactive map of the japanese earthquake and it's aftershock sequence.. there are a number of interactive tools enabling a close examination of what took place .

ie; you can speed up the sequence and select various periods of activity.

you can also pause the sequence and hover the pointer over specific quakes to determine depth, magnitude etc.. the map will open beginning with day one .

So, did any of you OPEN your homes to the Japanese brothers and sisters who lost it all? They were calling for this back in early April, asking all the Japanese JWs to OPEN their homes if they had a spare room to house a needy JW family who had lost it all during the floods and the tsunami.

FAITH, the biggest excuse for IGNORANCE.

by nicolaou in

when you claim that some impossible account from the bible is true are you doing so because of evidence and honest reasons or simply because you want it to be true?

if the evidence your claim is based upon ends up being proven false would you stop making the claim?.

if your claim is based only on wishful thinking then you are being dishonest with yourself.

witnessofjesus

Faith is a PRINCIPLE OF POWER...with it, we can heal the sick and raise up the dead, and if our faith were perfect, we could see into the eternal world that lies beyond this one and see our true potential. Again, faith is not an excuse for ignorance, but the very opposite of such ignorance, because with faith comes the very knowledge of God and we only receive a witness, after the trail of our faith. This I know to be true...

Any ideas on what 'new' publications they might be releasing this year? I understand that the 2-part of the DVD series about the origins of JWs is due this year, any other ideas? Any insider tips from someone who is still 'active' on the inside? My uncle is a JW, but he's been inactive for YEARS, and he remains so. He attends the Memorial one per year, and that's about the only time you'll see him inside of the Kingdom Hall.

I'm not a JW, but it looks like they're targeting you 'apostates' in Day 2, as "Enemies of the Kingdom", are they saying that the WTB&TS is the Kingdom? I'm certain you're not enemies of the actual Kingdom of God, only of the WTB&TS correct? They really are putting down a hamper on their members, and I feel so sorry for you folks. I'm glad I never became one of you, or them, and I'm so grateful that I never will. Life is hard enough, without a slave driver organization making it harder through subtle mind games and brain washing. Wow! I'm happy to be a Witness OF and FOR Jesus Christ, the real Jehovah of the Bible. Notice Acts 1:8 doesn't say that Christ's followers would be witnesses of Jehovah, but of Jesus, reread it in your own Bible, has anyone ever asked their local leaders why this is so? Jesus is Jehovah, the God of the Old Testament became the Savior of the New. Just my take on matters...God bless you all as you strive to leave this organization with, or without, your families intact. It's so sad that Satan is using this organization to tear families apart, but it's happening.

What You Need to Know About Date Setting by Dr. H.L. Willmington
No doubt one of the most anticipated day thus far in this century was Friday, April 29, when William and Kate were married at Westminster Abbey in London. Literally hundreds of millions viewed this around the world. But according to an 89-year old former civil engineer by the name of Harold Camping , there is another day that, in his opinion, will be more significant than any other in all of human history! On that day, Saturday, May 21, 2011, at 6:00 PM sharp Pacific Standard Time, Jesus Himself will return and the Rapture will occur! His, of course, is only one of many false prophecies in regard to Jesus' return. He also predicted the same thing in 1994. Click here to find out more.

Past False Prophecies

2800 B.C.: The oldest surviving prediction of the world's imminent demise was found inscribed upon an Assyrian clay tablet which stated, “Our earth is degenerate in these latter days . There are signs that the world is speedily coming to an end. Bribery and corruption are common.” Wherever more than two people over 30 are gathered together, expect to hear remarkably similar sentiments.

Second Century A.D.: The Montanists, founded around A.D. 155 by a man called Montanus, were perhaps the first recognizable Christian end-of-the-world cult. They believed that Christ's triumphant return was imminent and established a base in Anatolia (699 A.D), central Turkey, where they anxiously waited for doomsday.

1284: Pope Innocent III predicted Christ's second coming would occur in this year. He based his prediction on the date of the inception of the Muslim faith, then added 666 years to that.

February 1, 1524: Panicked by predictions made by a group of London astrologers, some 20,000 people abandoned their homes and fled to high ground in anticipation of a second great flood that was predicted to start from the Thames.

1556: Martin Luther felt this might be the year.

1715: Isaac Newton thought Christ would return.

1792: Shakers predicted the end of the world.

1914: Jehovah's Witnesses have set several dates for the prophetic end-1914, 1915, 1918, 1919, 1920, 1925, 1941, 1975, and 1994.

1844: Baptist preacher William Miller predicted Jesus would return to upstate New York on October 22 , 1844. This became known in American history as the “ Great Disappointment .”

1988: There was even a major book titled 88 Reasons Why Christ Will Return in 1988, by Edgar Whisenant. The following year he published 89 Reasons Why Christ Will Return in 1989, claiming to have been slightly off on his calculations. Make that twice.

Well, how does God view all this nonsense? Actually, His Son provided the answer some 2,000 years ago!

Matt. 25:13, ESV
“Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour.”
Mark 13:32, 33
“But concerning that day or that hour, no one knows, not even the angels in heaven , nor the Son, but only the Father. Be on guard, keep awake. For you do not know when the time will come.”

By the way, the Father already has that day marked on His heavenly calendar!

Acts 17:31 , ESV
“Because he has fixed a day on which he will judge the world in righteousness by a man whom he has appointed; and of this he has given assurance to all by raising him from the dead.”
