  Do demons really exist?

  by Inisc in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i mean, is there really any scientific evidence to support their existence?.

  is it used as a scare tactic of thewts?.

  and i suppose if one doesn't believe in god, a belief in satan and demons and angels for that matter would be contradictory... im not sure what i believe now but would love to hear everyone's thoughts..

  Regarding independent thinking, what other type of "thinking" is there. If it's not independant, then someone else is doing it for you.

  Good luck in your future. As has been mentioned, you are on the track that many of us wished we had been on earlier.

  we believe that 99.9% of earths population will be soon put to death because of their unrighteousness and hatred of god.

  this probably means that you wont make it.

  sorry bout that.. god is using us to warn the entire world of mankind.

  Does anybody still believe in God and the Bible?

  by tornapart in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i just want to know out of interest how many here still believe in god and christ and that the bible is god's word.

  my faith in the wts is gone but i still love god and his son.

  i've noticed that many here have lost their faith in god as well as the wts.

  OTWO,

  Great post! I too dislike the word "lost", to me that is like saying you "lost" a tumor you had removed from your body.

  WT Flip-Flops on Jesus’ Inspection… Was it in 1918 or 1919?... Did the WT PASS or FAIL?

  by Alfred in

  2. bible

  this is utterly ridiculous.... .

  the more i research this particular subject, the more flip-flops i uncover.

  it seems the fds cant even make up their minds regarding what happened in 1918 (or should i say 1919?).

  I know this goes back a page or so, but since I have been mentioned in this thread I want to say something.

  When I first discovered my grandfather's letter on Marvin's blog, I'll admit I was a little taken back, but after giving it more thought I came to this conclusion. I posted the letter here because I felt it needed to be seen by those interested in such things. I could have kept it in a box in my garage, and kept it to myself. But why?

  I'm glad Marvin picked up on it and publicized it. I have a couple others on here he must have missed as I think they deserve a spot on his site as well.

  FYI, I am presently going though boxes of old stuff from a family who some may classify as hoarders who were involved with this organization from the early 1900's. It is very overwhelming. If I come across any more interesting stuff you will see it here. The last thing I want is to see an old letter tossed in the trash by someone uninterested. I suspect at this point that a scan posted on the internet will perpetuate it. That to me is a great thing.
