If I might say: you know that religions preach something very different to what our ministry declares
Ah, so you do have followers. I thought so.

Welcome. a lot of us have left suddenly and it has left us in financially dire straits. The end didn't come so now we have to wipe our own asses and deal with real life problems. It can be overwhelming at times, but things get better. What caused you to leave so suddenly? Seems like you are entirely dependent on the organization. It must have been something traumatizing. Really interested to hear more details.

Acts 6:66:
What happens when humans start colonizing other planets and build sustainable space stations?
Will your flying pasta monster destroy those too?
What happens when humans decide that religion is a racket and a snare, that unhealthy thoughts of doomsday are stiffling the growth of civilization and productive, happy people?
I was reading an article on CNN that showed paintings depicting doomsday biblical scenes 500+ years ago.
The same old bullshit for hundreds of years... god will destroy this... god will do that... you and your ilk are such a worn out broken record that keeps spinning not knowing that its dead and the world has already moved on...
guilt and fear

What's a word that describes the way Witnesses behave as a group?
by paul from cleveland ini can't recall the word that describes a group that keeps to itself like the witnesses do.
i thought it was "insular" but i don't think that's the one i'm looking for after reading the definition.
i remember an elder using the word "clannish" and that has the proper definition but it reminds me of a group of elves.

Christadelphian
by Billy1000 inmy name is stephen and i am new to the forum.
i am a christadelphian and through my discussions with fellow members of my ecclesia it has inspired me to reach out to other religions to find out exactly what others believe to enhance my own faith and further bring me closer to our heavenly father.
in no way do i mean disrespect if it has been caused.

Oh come on Acts 529, the real reason you are here is to peddle your website and " your ministry" which is nothing more than regurgitated Watchtower spin off doomsday bullspit.
Chinese whispers? Really?
I doubt your "friends in heaven" have any room for a racist (insert colorful word here) like you.
FYI we call it the whisper game or messenger game in classrooms here in Asia (Try and guess why)

I'm an agnostidelphian. Nice to meet you. Don't believe Acts 5v29's claim that he isn't a part of any religion. He thinks he alone can unlock the secrets of Revelation. He is trying to start a religion of his own. -

It's too early in the morning to look it up (eyes are still crusted together), but I think I read somewhere that the man-made, superstitious title for god, "Adonai" was used and the vowels of this title were infused into the tetragrammaton to provide the vowels that give us the name Ye (ai) ho wa. Can anyone clarify or verify that? Thanks. -

Their biggest problem? Every day that doesn't bring an end to "this system of things" means another day that they have to look at their ugly selves in the mirror. All that fear mongering and doomsday clap trap... and nothing.
The boy has cried wolf for over 140 years and now the village people just tell him to $$$$ off.

Somebody has to stop the Hitler's, the Mao's, the Pol Pot's and the Kim Jongs of the world when they rear their ugly heads. What would Kim Jong Un do if there were no military consequence to fulfilling his goals? No doubt he would send his goose-stepping ass clown goons to rape and pulverize Japan and South Korea.
Until we learn to overcome language, race and religious barriers the military is a necessity for peace.
