Awakened, I have a question. If God is loving and merciful, why should we be fearful of him? That is something I never understood.
Dear Larc,
I hope this Scripture will help you understand. Please ponder upon it - it answers that question for me:
PSALMS 111:10 " The fear of Jehovah is the beginning of wisdom."

some of the folks here have known for awhile that he had been ill, and they have been very supportive.

i am new to all of this, even tho i have not been going to the meetings for nearly 4 years now, through the basic hypocrisy that i faced and the witch hunt i have had to put up with over the last few years.
because i dare to expose the bent dealings of a car salesmen, who happened to be a p>o> i tried to ignore all of this and thought let them get on with it.
my wife continued going to the meetings, and was shunned the whole 4 years, despite both of us being very active members of the cong.
Dear Nightwarrior and Wife,
WELCOME to the board!
I'am so sorry that you have been unjustly treated by the elders.
I'am so happy that you haven't lost faith in God. Yes, Our Heavenly Creator is a God who detests corruption; and those who carry on such practises will be exposed and will have to render an account to Him.

Dear Chilean Rick:
Why would you want to be part of an organization that is fraudulent?

i don't know why i keep burdening this group.
no one else in my life can really relate to the intertwined emotions i am going through.
my bear friends are there, including mitch, and they they try to keep my cheered up.
Dear Joelbear,
(((((HUGS)))))
I'am sorry for what you are going through. I'am happy to know that you are under a doctor's supervision for your depression. Please don't go to the gun store!
In order for us to feel completely tranquil within ourselves, we have to become spiritual persons, dwell on spiritual things and develop a close relationship with God. Our Creator created us with a need to worship Him; and that is what true happiness means to us -that we draw close to Him. I would like to share these Scriptures with you that show us that God cares about us:
JAMES 4:8,10:(8) " Draw close to God, and he will draw close to you. Cleanse YOUR hands, YOU sinners, and purify your hearts, YOU indecisive ones." (10):"Humble yourselves in the eyes of Jehovah, and he will exalt you."

i know the bible is true because.... * it is infallible.
there is not one contradiction with these pages.
humans are fallible; the bible is not.. * the word of god is the source of true wisdom.
This Scritpture describes God's Word so beautifully:
HEBREWS 4:12:" For the word of God is alive and exerts power and is sharper than any two-edged sword and pierces even to the dividing soul and spirit, and of joints and [their] marrow, and [is] able to discern thoughts and intentions of [the] heart."

do you still hope to live forever?
Our Creator is a God of the living, and He desires his children to live forever as He imprinted eternal life in our minds. If you put faith in Jesus Christ, and honor him, the Scriptures assure us everlasting life.
Yes, I would like to live forever in abundance of peace and exquisite delight - its God's gift to His children. How can someone not want life under these perfect conditions?
JOHN 17:17:3:" This means everlasting life, their taking in knowledge of you, the only true God, and of the one whom you sent forth, Jesus Christ."
Christian Love,
