Please Perry do understand this is called a self-fulfilling prophecy as well as any "prophecy" about the "restoration of Israel" is horrifically and world detrimentally self-fulfilling. eg the Gaza strip

Real Prophecy vs. Watchtower Prophecies
by Perry inwhile we had our eyes fixated on our "one-time" idol the watchtower and their false prophecies like the generation of 1914 that wouldn't pass away, 1975 etc.
; a number of real prophecies were unfolding.
we just weren't taught to look for them.

Did any of us ever enjoy meetings?
by stephanie61092 inthis is a legitimate question.
did any of us ever find real joy in being at the meetings?
did any of us ever finish a meeting and think "i feel so enriched"?

I've never actually liked going to meetings. Been going regularly since 1973. -

Like Father, Like Son
by cofty inwhen faced with awkward questions about the morality of god many christians respond by distancing themselves from the old testament and focusing on "gentle jesus meek and mild" of the new testament.. for bible-believing christians this is intellectually dishonest.. according to christian dogma jesus was the god of abraham isaac and jacob.
the logos, the alpha and omega who is "the same yesterday, today, and forever.".
he claimed that "he that has seen me has seen the father" and that "i and the father are one".. in short, christians assert that jesus is almighty god from all eternity.. it therefore follows that jesus was the god who ordered the nation of israel to take slaves as inheritable possessions.

I've seen this "the Israelites couldn't kidnap" defense on the issue of slavery several times, but I'm still waiting to see why this matters.

Only a few days ago I was entirely lost and without hope the rug was pulled out from under me
by elderess inonly a few days ago i was walking around the house in a mindless wander thinking if i needed to seek professional help.
then i got the courage to seek the comfort of complete strangers on the internet and found a world of support here on this website.
thank you simon and whoever else has made this website possible.

Unicorns are hard to find, finding two of them in the same bed, that's much harder.
You've won the lottery, and looks like you're going to spend your fortune well. Congrats to you both and welcome to the real world!

by Sabin inso my hubby has been on a bit of a roll about the jdubs, we were talking a lot about them & he said the buzz word he hate's the most is "worldly" why?
because he say's "with that one word they have condemned (according to their believes) a person as being worthy of nothing but death.

If I were a Christian I would also try to avoid discussing this aspect of Christianity, which is the point that Cofty is making here.
"But that was the Old Testament" is proffered over and over again out there in the real world. No, it's not said by professional Christian apologists (for the most part), but it is said over and over again my millions of nominal Christians. I've been hearing it for 40 years.
The point here is the separation of the Son from the Father and Yahweh in the minds of many Christians, not just the atrocities committed by Yahweh.

God does something that appears to be good, the Christian appreciates the goodness of God.
God does something that appears to be not good, the Christian doesn't understand the mind of God.
Kind of like a mother whose son is a serial killer, she loves him anyway.
