Is Satan Real ?

by jdash in

i've been pondering on this question for awhile now, and i'm starting to think this malevolent spirit creature isn't real.

.

do you guys believe satan is real?

JWs all tell those scary stories about demons changing the colour of the publications to freak out witnesses who inadvertently call at the home of a spirit medium or similar.

As a child on hearing these and similar unprovable tales I thought "Wow! Cool Trick. Why can't God do that it'd attract more people."

I've done quite an extensive study into the black arts and even tried a ouija board, yet I have never encountered any issues with the dark side.

I think history has always been a struggle of what one perceived as good versus what one perceived as evil. To explain why badness or goodness exists people created gods and devils.

a pet peeve of mine is that there are numerous christian denominations (other faiths with their 'holy' books too), all claim that their interpretation of their 'holy' book is the correct interpretation.

my conclusion is that either their god is a very poor communicator or simply doesn't exist.. i used to believe all this stuff when i was a jobo and later a church going christian.

i simply cannot, in all honesty subscribe to it all any more.

Your pet peeve is something I used to wonder about as well.

WTS condemned everyone as stoopid except themselves. But you look at those other religious places where people are allowed to study in a university, and get to wondering how they are all wrong compared to 6,7,or 8 men from Brooklyn!

And the WTS would reply that Satan has blinded their minds so as to stop the light getting in.

Now you realise how much they are all tarred with the same brush including the WTS. In fact if God needed to get a message across would he really pick a group that everyone detests especially when they come unannounced to your house. If anything it would obscure His message further.

It's just so pointless in the end.

No Bible = No God?

by menrov in

some doubt about the bible completely, some partially.

what if the bible turns out to be a product of humans, nothing divine.

would you still believe in a creator?.

ie the Ten Commandments.

"Thou shalt not kill." It was unacceptable to kill someone from your own tribe, but it was perfectly acceptable to brutally slaughter every Philistine or Canaanite you came into contact with because your god had told you to do it.

As a book it does very little to draw me to a loving Deity. Quite the opposite in fact.

Bible Prophecy and the GB

by Lost in the fog in

ofriends, having followed many of your posts on this website, i am convinced that the prophecy of the last days as penned in 2nd timothy 3:1-7 is actually now being fulfilled by the present governing body.. .

2 tim 3:1… but know this, that in the last days critical times hard to deal with will be here.

(definitely, we all face hardships from the gb policies.

Neat Blue Dog.

Of course I am not taking it seriously. 😎

It is only that the letter to Timothy was written to those inside the early Christian Church. The WTS always applies it to the world outside of the Organisation.

It could be applied to any group of people past, present, or future. However it seemed to me that the description of those verses could equally fit the GB's actions which we see at the moment.
