damn!
how can you go around telling people that!

God loves everybody, but that doesn't stop him from judging and sentencing to hell some of those that he loves.

There is no such thing as hell mr. satan, how can a human body endure extreme heat forever and forever? Christ baptizes with fire meaning a cleansing of our sins.....

i was raised as a jw, most of my family is still in, i regular pioneered for 5 years, elder for even longer.
preached for over 40 years that the 1914 generation will see the end, etc, etc... believed every single word, and preached it with total conviction.. i have not been active for approx 7 years, completely faded now, mainly because i couldn't believe a loving god would destroy me, after coming to terms with and admiting i was preaching a lie.. i'm extremely happy i'm out, although still hitched to it somehow by my past, i guess like many of us on here.. i do have a question for all jws.. how can "god, who cannot lie" a god which is love, justify destroying the world, including all of us that left, and saving only the jws, when for decades one of the main teachings of the jws has proved to be a lie?
a teaching no one wants to discuss anymore, which got covered up by a new light, which most can't even explain.
Why would GOD put satan in prison while destroying those that satan has misled? Also why would he destroy people only to resurrect them?
E.
whether you're a former jw, or active jw, or some other religion, or atheist, what do you say?
do you fear death and, whether yes, no, or i don't know, why?
have changed religious views changed your view of death?
I don't fear death, just the manner in which I would die. Like for instance, I would hate to be buried alive or suffocated....

lurkers.... check your calendars... october 2, 2014 is only 500 days away.... look for illogical nu-lite from the wt in publications and conventions that will attempt to explain this away.. they've already bought themselves some time by splitting a "generation" into 2 overlapping generations... still, they have a lot of explaining to do... this should get really interesting... stay tuned.... .
I might be considered a lurker and I say that the reign of Jesus Christ begin after the 911 attacks say sometime in the year 2005 say March 11th or so to be exact lol.....what about those apples?

i was listening to the horrible news about the tornado damage in oklahoma, and especially about the elementary school that collapsed and the kids that are feared to be trapped.
so this 72 year-old man was interviewed.
he said he wasn't afraid and had told his wife that the lord would protect them.
I bet the tornado will be spun (pardon the expression) as a sign that the end is near.
Rub a Dub
We are in the time of the end regardless......
damn!
how can you go around telling people that!

GOD loves everyone just the same as we love our children even when they are doing something we do not agree with. Have no fear GOD will give everyone a fair chance to repent....

But let us say that GOD acted in this man's behalf. Very good indeed. What does that tell us about a GOD that lets the storm rage on most and protects a few here and there?
Yes I understand. How many Christians were there in the devastation? Did it mean that this man had more faith than the others? GOD can only intervene to an extent in mans affairs, as we currently have free will. This man believed that GOD saved him, so let him be if he feels this way. There is no harm done....
11 I returned to see* under the sun that the swift do not have the race,+ nor the mighty ones the battle,+ nor do the wise also have the food,*+ nor do the understanding ones also have the riches,+ nor do even those having knowledge have the favor;+ because time and unforeseen occurrence befall them all.

this is the parable of the faithful and discreet slave, put up from the three gospels, so you can see their differences (3 gospels out of 4 relate this):.
matthew 24:42-51: (prefered by the gb/fds/gb).
42 keep on the watch, therefore, because ?you?

But the Lord was with them? Where and how?
How would you know where GOD acts and does not act? Is GOD to blame for the severe weather? Truly in The Kingdom of GOD this devastation would never occur....

"Who really is the faithful and discreet slave whom his master appointed over his domestics, to give them their food at the proper time?46 Happy is that slave if his master on arriving finds him doing so. 47 Truly I say to ?YOU, He will appoint him over all his belongings. 48 "But if ever that evil slave should say in his heart,
Compare "happy is that slave" to "if that evil slave". So do you have the faithful and discreet slave as well as the evil slave, or is the verse saying that the faithful slave will be evil? It does not read "the evil slave".......is the true meaning lost in translation or is the faithful slave and evil slave one in the same person? Who is the master of the evil slave?
