  Qcmber,

  You wrote that the bible "hints at" life before earth life.

  Where is that found in the bible?

  Prayers at mealtime!!?

  by Frog in

  who still find it strange years on to dive straight into your mail meal without 'giving thanks'?

  i say main meal, because dad's prayers were always considerably lengthy before a main meal, and are an institution in every jw household.

  even now after a few years i'm just about ready to tuck in when i find myself saying a simple thanks under my breath.

  Rod P,

  According to Strong's lexicon, amen simply means "so be it".

  i want to practice a thechnique that was shared with me today about opening the eyes/minds/hearts of jws.

  i need someone to argue the way a jw would about the following question and i will reply and so on until the end.

  can i experience "eternal life"?

  To answer that question, a JW would quote John 17:3 from their NWT: "This means everlasting life, their taking in knowledge of you, the only true God and of the one whom you sent forth, Jesus Christ".

  I'm referring to Shawn's question "Is there a passage that says 'eternal life' is even available?"

  Art, Worship and the JWs

  by Sirona in

  1. jw

  i was reading the thread about "worldy churches" and it made me think about how the jws have a hatred of certain types of worship.. they hate anything "traditional" and state that it is corrupted (pagan).

  they hate going into churches because they see religious symbolism like crosses, altars, candles and chalices.

  big ornate churches are not beautiful to them, they are a symbol of satan.

  I agree with you, Annie. When I was a JW, I never once felt that the KH was a place of worship.

  Kingdom Halls are really more like training centers.

  gdt,

  At Hebrews 1:8, I know the NWT translates it as "God is your throne", but that is not what the original Greek states. It says "But of the son, he says, 'your throne, O God (ho theos) is forever and ever".

  In that passage, God the Father calls Jesus ho theos, The God.

  gdt,

  You state that only the Father was called The God (ho theos). Jesus was also called ho theos in John 20:28.
