How many of you atheists, agnostics, deists are celebrating Xmas??
by SweetBabyCheezits inwe are celebrating xmas this year for the first time.
it's kinda weird because, even though we're doing a xmas tree, decorations, gifts, we're more or less taking the christ out of christmas.
so how about the rest of you non-christian heathens?.

What is the distinction between dogmatism and sincere conviction ?
by caliber ini do sincerely want you opinions .
is there a difference in sharing your hope as opposed with pushing your religion ?.
is it in attempting to set some sort of standard for other peoples lives or what makes the difference in your view ?.

The audience is everything.
If your audience is in full agreement with your beliefs or ideas, then you can be dogmatic and it will be seen as conviction.
If your audience is not in full agreement with your beliefs or ideas, then you have to be diplomatic and tactful or you will be seen as dogmatic.

Now Muriel plays piano
Every Friday at the Hollywood
And they brought me down to see her
And they asked me if I would --
Do a little number
And I sang with all my might
And she said --
"Tell me are you a Christian child?"
And I said "Ma'am I am tonight" -

A chance at the big prize - just because they ate too much!
by THE GLADIATOR inthis jw teaching that those who die at armageddon will not be resurrected but those who die before armageddon will be resurrected, always seemed unfair to me.. many have given up waiting for god to get his finger out and cleanse the earth of sinners like me.
they have concluded that the awe inspiring day of jehovah - armageddon no less - is a hoax.
dreamed up by john, high on something hallucinogenic and presented as a divine revelation.

miseryloveselders - Didn't want you to think you were a thread killer. This thread died all on its own. Unless - God killed it! Perhaps he's got it in for me.
God staking his whole career on one day of vengeance does seem rather reckless. If he were clever like the Devil he would be cunning. Any good restaurant will let you taste a wine before you commit to it. How about a little taste of Armageddon. Blow the top of the odd Mosque or two. A warning to show us that he really exists and can throw a mean thunderbolt or two.
At the moment God is basically unemployed. So it would be a good example to us if he got off his throne reminded us who is boss. Then we would know he is powerful and fear inspiring and that he means business. All those deaths and needless resurrections could be avoided.
We could fall into line and return to the nearest kingdom hall. Sing songs of praise to him from the new song book provided by the faithful and discreet slave class.

If you want to scare away spirits, dress as a gladiator. It works for me.
Trouble is it scares away most people too, even on this forum!

Thinking that EVERYONE got resurrected, even those who died at Armageddon.
The kingdom's not that big Tammy.
Anyway what's the point of chopping up all those people, then all the king's horses and all the king's men trying to put them together again.

It's Really Just a Social Club
by Eiben Scrood inat least for many..... i remember looking around at meetings and so many in the audience seemed to be in another world.
people would get up and talk at the back shamelessly.
meetings were a good opportunity to make plans with friends.

My father-in-law once told me, 'Even if it's not the truth, it's still a good club to belong to!'
He no longer talks to me because I refuse to be a hypocrite and it has cost him his daughter. Silly man!

The evidence was irrefutable and beyond doubt and you rejected my people.
Unforgivable by any standard!
What happens to those faithful but faint hearted people who can't cope with seeing so many millions of people being slaughtered by angels, and die of shock during Armageddon?
Dropping dead like that could be seen as disapproval of the methods used by this loving God. Why resurrect these wimps, when they have shown by their action that they cannot stand the heat in the kitchen.
Best let the birds of the field eat their fleshy parts and only allow gladiators into the new world.

Is the Soul Immortal...Biblically Speaking?
by Vanderhoven7 ini wonder if someone would care to produce a list (full quotes) of all the proof texts in scripture they are aware of that establish that the human soul is innately immortal?.
just the scriptures...without comment please...so everyone will see just how clear the bible alone (sola scriptura) is on this issue.
vander.

According to the bible we have an immoral soul, allegedly inherited from the first freedom fighter, Adam.
This is one biblical truth that I have proved, to my satisfaction, to be true.

This JW teaching that those who die at Armageddon will not be resurrected but those who die before Armageddon will be resurrected, always seemed unfair to me.
Many have given up waiting for God to get his finger out and cleanse the earth of sinners like me. They have concluded that the awe inspiring day of Jehovah - Armageddon no less - is a hoax. Dreamed up by John, high on something hallucinogenic and presented as a divine revelation. For this they are deemed to be without faith in God and therefore unrighteous. The penalty apparently, is to be executed at Armageddon.
Were anyone privileged to receive a resurrection into a transformed word, they would also be able to see that Armageddon had occurred. Reunited with their loved ones, they would have no need for faith. The evidence of their own eyes would irrefutable. Faith with hindsight, after seeing the fulfillment of prophecy, is not faith at all.
They would also have the added advantage that my buddy the Devil and his demons would be banged up for 1000 years in a special prison called Abyss. Jesus would have replace all politicians, stopped all wars, and JWs would be the ruling class.
How can this Johnny come lately class be worthy of a chance at the big prize - just because they ate too much and died before Armageddon? Caesar will never allow this!
