the missing 21 year old woman in oregon got me thinking...so many jws comment on her fb page 'praying for you'...'constant daily prayers' etc.
what is the point?
i know it is a natural human emotion, to want to contribute in some small way when something bad happens.
I always doubted. Things didn't quite add up. "Why did prayer work for them, but not for me?" I would chalk up those inconsistencies to, "God has a time for everything, he's in charge, he knows what he's doing."
I'm a naturalist, I believe everything has natural as opposed to a supernatural explanation.
how suicidal thoughts can take over your life.. i lived most of my life thinking about suicide.
i have clear memories when i was 8 years old thinking about what it would be like to die.
i went to sleep every night of my young childhood saying the prayer:.
I don't want to be the next person everybody is talking about.
Thank you for sharing, Lady Lee. There is always someone willing to lend a helping hand. I can relate. I've had some of those thoughts myself over the years, and I'm lucky I've been able to bounce back.
was just going through a few topics and this caught my attention, and since that thread looks pretty much dead i thought i would create a new one to add my thoughts .. so i would start by replying to as much criticisms as i can okay.
@jam: .
the purpose of the flood, because man grieved him to.
Why did God allow the angels to procreate with female humans (I wonder why no angels were gay, given they are the ones that are supposed to induce that sort of inappropriate behavior, according to Christians)?
Aren't the hybrid populations what screwed up the earth? How would women have fought off predatory angels? LOL, I invented a new term, predatory angel.
hello everyone, i'm not on here much these days, but thought this might be worth the post for you veteran x-dubbies to help me.. .
i've got a min servant and his wife coming over this sunday.
the brother has already called me up and invited me to his first public talk that day, which i respectfully declined.
Authentic in that it didn't plagerize from other religions before it? We know that's bs.
Accurate in that the miracles and other stories such as the Flood and Creation account are 100% factual? Also bs.
Another line of argumentation to consider is Biblical canonization.

i'm an ms (accounts servant) in a large congregation in canada.
over the last several years i've faught a hard-won battle to rid my mind of all religous and supernatural beleifs.
I agree that Outlaw's position seems reasonable, but I will repeat again, if God exists, why doesn't he settle the debate once and for all?
how many people existed before the biblical flood?
in the bible from adam to noah they have around 1600-1700 years.
adam had at least three children (one dies and not counting the daughters) in a 930 year life span.
God created a hypercube within the Ark that allowed for more space than that which is normally allowable.
God didn't leave any evidence of a Global Flood, he wiped that out so that you could rely soley on faith about this account.
There are no arguments against the Global Flood. They do not withstand God's mighty power.
okay, i don't know lots of people that were df'd, but of all the times i've encountered df people when i was a dub, they actually blanked me!
it was always something that i had fixed in my mind that the jws had dead wrong, even when i was an uber dub.
i remember several times when i used to arrive late at meetings, and i'd make a point of getting eye contact with the poor dub at the back sitting on the naughty step.
i am a born again christian, not a jehovah's witness.
i have had many experiences with god, hearing god's voice, seeing minor miracles, have seen a woman healed instantly through prayer in jesus name.
what is your view on the miraculous.
Why aren't miracles ever documented on video? Is God hiding?

Because nobody can prove God doesn't exist.
But if God did exist, he could prove he exists, yet doesn't... kinda strange eh?
a video will be posted later today where all the mysteries of god, the disgusting thing causing desolation, all the contradictions in the bible, why god in the old testament seemed so cruel, why was satan created if god is good, how is god love?
all of the prophecies jesus had foretold which were hidden and lost yet being fullfilled the entire time.
this is the good news that will then spread worldwide, and then the end will come.
black jesus
But.... Jesus is black.
