  Guys, Would you be afraid of her if a very hot lady tell you if you do not behave, she will bite you very hard?

  No Room for George. He's been m.i.a. for a bit now.

  I think the crux of the matter is where she would bite.

  are you storing treasure in heaven?

  by StopTheTears in

  the bible tells us to lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven.

  this is true wealth.

  so many people have departed from the christian faith because of love for money, whether it be paper money, gold and silver, real estate, et cetera.

  Better to reign in hell then serve in heaven

  is there a tiny part of us who left the truth just because we were fed up of following rules?.

  i know the truth/troof is not all it is cracked up to be but i have been a little bit of a rebel all my life and so rebelled.. .

  did you leave partly to get more booze, sex, drugs and sex?

  I did want a gf and sex, but not necessarily a crazy, debauch life either. You have to be smart about your life, not squander it. Excess is bad in most contexts.

  I am an intellectual rebel. I can't stomach their rationale. I want the freedom to say what I really think and feel. Not what they, the Bible, or anyone else tells me to say.

  Have you wondered "WHERE else could I go"?

  by Fernando in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the question has an inbuilt fatal flaw.

  it forces only one answer nowhere.. this question is also based on a false premise that we can be right with god if we find and follow the correct rules, doctrines, moral code and knowledge.

  this is in direct opposition to what paul teaches over and over on imputed righteousness (justification, being counted as righteous, as a free gift that cannot be earned, deserved or paid for).

  Fernando, don't get me wrong, I like the "ideal" Christian morality. I just don't jive with things like "leave family, friends, etc. for me (Jesus)". That's why doctrines like DF exist, and advocating anything that painful and unnecessary, is just well.......

  Fernando, is your belief one of philosophy, or one of concretely believing in the divine Jesus?

  I don't mind which one you choose, but I certainly side philosophically with the good aspects/teachings of the Gospels.

  Fernando, besides the prophetic blunders, incredible (and I mean it in the original sense of the word, not believeable) miracles, and Apocalyptic message that Jesus preached, I can jive with texts like Matthew 7:12.

  But, to say the Bible and the Gospels are 100% factual, is demonstrably false. To believe in the Bible as the Word of God presents serious problems for a rationalist, fact-finder.

  Watchtower Dec 2011 Makes fun of fools who think the end is 2012. Ironic??

  wachtower dec 1 2011 p.10 "french village faces influx of apocalypse believers...they believe the world will end 21 december 2012 when the end of....ancient maya calander...despite predictions by calamity-howling religious leaders, pseudoscientists, and any other prognosticators, earth will be in existence for a long time...when will this occur?

  no human knows.

  jehovah's witnesses do not try to predict when god will destroy the wicked...{really?

  The end can't come when anybody is expecting it. So as long as anybody is expecting it, it cannot come.

  I would childishly play this game, albeit far too real for me, that by thinking Armageddon was coming today, that it could then not come. Anyone else ever do that?

  Militant religionism is pretty quickly purged here - but militant atheism has not been.

  Hmm... I wonder why....

  The facts on crucifixion, stauros, and the "torture stake"

  by Leolaia in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  finally, i will look at biblical and patristic evidence bearing on the crucifixion of jesus in particular.

  we need to examine the earliest known descriptions of the kind of crucifixion adopted by the romans and the specific terms they used to refer to it.

  apparently the society believes that crux still meant "stake" in the second century a.d., when tacitus composed his annals.

  How about "you're dead to me"?

  Even though my mom apologized, it still hurts. It shows where priorities lie with JWs.
