What happened to the questions in the Watchtower and why?
by Listener incould someone please advise why the questions for public study on a sunday are no longer in the watchtower?.
also a while ago now the gatherings in private homes during the week for study also stopped.. i was told that it was in preparation of armageddon so that individuals could become more independant and have more time to establish their relationship directly with jehovah.
this was because the gb felt people were relying on the organization too much in providing their spiritual needs and with armageddon it may be that jws will not be able to access the support network that they currently have.

What if God's existence was PROVEN TO BE TRUE?
by nicolaou inthis isn't a 'prove god exists' thread, it's a 'what if' thread .
what if god's existence could be proven beyond any doubt?
what if god were to actually show himself so that nobody could doubt his existence?.

It is not about our perceptions of who or what god is.
We cannot answer the question to your specification until we know your perception of who or what God is.
Only then can we discuss how proof of God's existence would affect us. This is a complicated subject.
Once you have had your nap you might care to share.

What if God's existence was(were)proven to be true? - Is a provocative question because many people believe that it has been proven. The title is and assumption that it has not been proven. This is bound to be challenged.
I have barged into Christian threads and made, what I thought at the time were pertinent remarks, challenging statements that were made.
This is an open board and threads can meander and develop as a number of differing views are expressed. The more the merrier, or more importantly, the more the deeper and more balanced the discussion becomes.

If our creator is love (as my God is) and he granted that ability to his creation, then we can reflect the emotion of our creator. I think emotion is how we can come to know our creator.
Tammy - if the God of the bible was like you, the world would be a better place. I know this is a back handed compliment because you believe God to be all love, so you give credit for your loving disposition to him. This is what selfless people do. You always see the good in people and project your love on to them. I don't thank God for that - I thank you.
If God is the creator, then he is responsible for all emotion, both positive and negative. If not he would be only half of the equation and depend on a partnership with a devil to balance the universe. What you believe works for you, and allows you to make sense of who you are. I have nothing better to suggest replacing it with.

To believe that a 'deity' or 'intelligence' that "created" the universe" would be in any way, shape or form, physical or mental, like mere HUMANS, is just more insane human hubris.
This is the point I am at. I rule nothing out and nothing in. But the idea that 'God' would be in anyway like man seems a very limited horizon. Mankind is a fairly recent mammal to inhabit this particular planet.
Its a big universe out there. The Coma Cluster of galaxies (over 1000 galaxies) is 300,000,000 light years from earth. This puts our puny planet and humans in perspective.

leavingwt you would be competing with thousands of millions of other people all asking questions.
We already know that God is slow to anger and slow to answer, so you could die of old age waiting for an answer.
Prayer and supplication are more likely to succeed.

"You can't just tell someone their faith is wrong without offering a replacement!"
by sabastious ini have heard this from several witnesses.. the assert that it is insensitive to expose someone's faith as invalid without offering another more valid spiritual path.. "the jehovah's witnesses don't have the truth, because xyz.".
^ i have been accused of offering a disservice because i can't offer the answers to the questions that i am debunking as fradulent.. has anyone else ran into this obscure argument?.
-sab.

If my car gets written off, I get lent a new car free of charge, until a replacement is found.
Perhaps a religion insurance policy should be available. Temporary religions on loan to fill the gap.

Tread Softly
Scenes from my life
By
Annelies Becker
As told to
Paul Marsden
HAD I the heavens' embroidered cloths,
Enwrought with golden and silver light,
The blue and the dim and the dark cloths
Of night and light and the half-light,
I would spread the cloths under your feet:
But I, being poor, have only my dreams;
I have spread my dreams under your feet,
Tread softly because you tread on my dreamsW.B. Yeats

Former Jehovah's Witness hanging on hooks! ..... Why would he do this?
by koolaid-man inwith his split tongue, a tattooed scalp and earlobe piercings the size of hockey pucks, it's easy to mistake richard ivey iii for a sinister character with angry, boiling insides - or a chap as peculiar as queequeg, the doomed polynesian whaler from "moby dick.
" ........... notice the word apostate tattooed on fingers.

This guy used to be a big poster on this forum a few years ago.
He used to tell us about his latest escapades at his kingdom hall. He seemed to like attention and fame.
