  What am I so scared of?

  by katiekitten in

  ive thought about posting this for a good few weeks, and finally decided to now the initial upset and outrage have calmed down in me.

  hopefully i will be more objective in my post, and more robust to take some constructive critisism.. i have been divorced 7 years, since my daughter was 1.

  50% of the blame was mine, definately.

  Don't let him see her at all. He is not good for her in any way.

  it has been so long since i had anything to say on this site.

  but here it goes.... for those who don't know or remember my story... five years ago i walked out of the kingdom hall for the last time.

  it was the weekend after my dad tragically died and just a few weeks after reading sites like freeminds.org.

  Is the bible inspired?

  by jwfacts in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i am trying to determine if it can be proved that the bible is inspired, and was wondering if most people here believe it is or is not.. i am writing a document on proof of inspiration, but it has ended up more of an article that shows the bible can not be proven to be inspired.

  i will be interested in what people think about it when it is finished.

  however i am worried that posting such an article may alienate those on jwd that believe the bible to be gods word.

  The Catholic Church canonized the bible; (after it is said to have gone apostate) that is its origin. A pope said it is inspired and on his authority we know it is inspired. Jesus gave us a church the church gave us a book that is good and useful for teaching. The book itself does not say it is inspired nor does it claim any authority.

  That said no I don’t think the bible is inspired it is only a part of the catholic Tradition. The bible can not give us anything not can it save a single person who studies it.

  when people pray does god listen?

  does he care?

  when prayers are "answered", is that proof of a divine being?

  My husband's comment on the hurricane looters.

  by wordlywife in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  all he said as we watched a little of it last night, is "and that's in the heart of the 'bible belt' of america".......... to me it was a put down of the south, and completely devoid of any understanding.

  all i said was: "these people down there have nothing to begin with".

  as in another thread, i cannot believe my eyes when i see these thugs are terrorizing hosptials, rescue efforts, etc.

  the "looters" should take what thay need. people are starving and naked who in there right mind, would say a company's bottom line is more important then a victoms needs.

  street witnessing!

  the inspiration for this joke came from seeing a "you can live forever on a paradise earth" brochure on the ground.

  romans 6 vs 9

  by stillajwexelder in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  (romans 6:8-11) 8 moreover, if we have died with christ, we believe that we shall also live with him.

  9 for we know that christ, now that he has been raised up from the dead, dies no more; death is master over him no more.

  10 for [the death] that he died, he died with reference to sin once for all time; but [the life] that he lives, he lives with reference to god.

  The Law, the law, the law must be obeyed by man and god. Under the old law any violation was a violation of all the laws. Atonement for that violation must be made by way of animal sacrifice. What sacrifice was available that would be good enough to forgive all the sins of the world? That sacrifice could only be a perfect animal. Without blemish. No such thing in this world, such thing could never come from this world.

  Jesus took the form of a slave. In this lowered state he could live and die a man. He came to be sacrificed. He was sacrificed and god excepted it, as the law called for. Fulfilling the law and eliminating the need for future sacrifice.

  Jesus was an animal sacrifice

  Jesus was an animal sacrifice

  Jesus was an animal sacrifice

  With all that initials.

  Am I a Sucker?

  the other day, my wife ran into a girl who she used to babysit for and is now 19 years old.

  i remember when this girl used to come to our house, she was always such a little sweetheart.

  she always kind of reminded me of a little doll, just tossed in the corner and forgotten.

  I know she doesn't have any money, so in exchange for her room and board, she will just have some chores to do around the house, like cut the grass in the backyard, wash dishes, just normal household chores that need to be done anyway

  
  

  
  Not a good idea. if she is to work for you in the house, shop, stoor, or office you need to pay at least mininium wage and charge her for the room. slavery is not cool even if you don't see it that way.

  i wish i had a free maid, wait, no i don't.

  President Kennedy's assassination: big conspiracy or lone gunman?

  by greendawn in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  do you think that john f kennedy was killed in dallas in 1963 by a lone psychopathic gunman -lee oswald- or by a large conpiracy that included the cia, the mafia, the military and many others.

  .

  hundreds of books were written on the subject and 85% of americans believe that it was a conspiracy though the mass media world always believes that a lone gun man did it.

  a lone psychopathic gunman -Lee Oswald-

  although i don't know if he was a psychopath or not. He may have simply chosen to change the world for what he thought would be for the better. Assinating leaders has been going on since the time of trbal kings.
