  What Is Wrong With This Picture ?

  Tally,

  You know for the most part I agree with you, but this part here:
  

  But, you Atheists ... if there is no god,
  who is going to carry out this Death and Destruction
  wished for, longed for, preached for, prayed for
  and graphically represented in these images?

  jehovah's Witnesses, the REAL LIVE PEOPLE -
  not the representations in these Watchtower-produced images -
  are growing impatient that their Long-Overdue-Armageddon
  has not arrived and their Paradise has not started.
  How dangerous does this potentially make them?
  Will they be content to wait forever?

  Well I think you are exaggerating on this one, and may not be taken seriously.

  My Encounter with a Witness

  by Unclepenn1 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  well, the other night i had invited a young man to my house to share with him, respectfully, the false prophecies of the wt, using older wt books.

  the conversation started very nicely, with the usual small talk and such.

  i decided to ask some questions, that i knew the answers to, but just wanted to get the gears in his head turning.

  Thanks Randy.

  It made me think back when I was an elder, I hope I was never that bad.
  Being blinded for all those years, I'm glad I'm out now.

  Cult Fighters are short sighted fools

  by proplog2 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the anti-cultists are narrow minded and uninformed to say the least.. you see a lot of this here.

  it is mostly a cover for irrational hatred.

  most religions organized in a way that they expected their members to take their beliefs seriously.

  Need help locating WT destroying U.S.Buildings

  Wiz,

  About the WTC survivers you said:
  

  When many of those people escaped that WTC devastation are you going to tell me that many were not happy and
  hugging each other. When family members were rejoined, don't you think they laughed/smiled/cried tears of joy?

  I think most of the survivers are happy to be alive, but I don't think they are laughing and feeling Joy right after the tragedy.
  They probably are not even feeling happy right now, WHY?

  Because they feel bad! Like most normal people feel at this tragedy.

  NBC Dateline vs WTS & WTC

  by Amazing in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  in the past few days i have been wondering if the wtc events will cause trouble or help the dateline show regarding the wts and child abuse.

  at first, i feared that the wtc terrorist attack would so overwhelm the news media and the hearts of america, that the jw issue with abuse would seem rather second place.

  but .... then again, the wts issue could keep the jws so glued to the tv because they think the great tributaltion is starting, that when the daeline story airs, it will catch them off guard.

  Amazing,

  I think and it's only my .02.

  I don't think the WTC will overshadow Dateline among the JW community, as much as the United States in general. Maybe?

  I think their having their hope postponed along with the Dateline airing will make many leave.

  I feel that if a few month more pass from the WTC Tragedy, it will have more of an impact on the Whole JW community and even the whole USA.

  In the big scheme of things, Jesus'....

  by SixofNine in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  ...suffering was not so bad.

  his "perfection" and understanding of the situation would certainly have mitigated his suffering.. his death was not really death, not in any meaningful sense.

  it was a 15 second nap, using bible reasoning.

  Isn't it funny how everbody has different sets of facts, and how they all claim to be right?

  Well I just beleive.

  I'm not a scientist I don't claim to be very smart. I don't have the ability to pour over many many books and study at this or that university, I'm about as regular as they come.

  So each side has its facts, so I say to myself with my very limited education and book learning, "I think its better to beleive in God and Jesus it makes more sense to me"

  I think things that God does are very difficult to explain we only have lived a few years, maybe if we live 5 billion years are veiws change and we see!

  Thats my $.02 I don't want to convert nobody yet, maybe someday when I'm smarter.

  1844
  1859
  1874

  The Identity of God and His Son
  The Name of God
  "No Part of the World"
  Doctrines of Uncertainty

  Wouldn't that be a gasser?

  Why are JWs scared of death?

  by NikL in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i have been thinking a lot lately about death.

  this is not surprising considering the turn of events on the 11th.. i have been re-awakened to the transient nature of human life and how it can go in the blink of an eye.

  as the bible says life is vanity and a striving for the wind.. with all of the talk about world war 3 and how dangerous this world has become, i have been on a bit of an emotional roller coaster this past week.. the fear of dying is a normal and basic emotion.

  NikL,

  You got it pretty much right on track.

  When my father who only studied with the JW said to me:
  "The only reason your a JW is because your afraid of death. I'm not afraid of death"
  When my father said those words, and every word is true, I started to wake up.
  From then on, I was on my way out of the JW's, even though it took four years.

  Shelby, good post so far.:)
