31Did You Ever REALLY Love Jehovah?
by minimus inwitnesses are taught that they must love their neighbor and jehovah god.
when persons fade away or leave abruptly or get disfellowshipped, you often hear this statement:"well, they obviously never really loved jehovah anyway"........looking back, can you say that at one time you really did love jehovah?

I love you - do I?
by donkey inrather than participate in the thread asking if people really loved jehovah i have a different question to ask but it requires a contextual setting prior to being considered.
many posters here at one time loved jehovah and we know our concept of jehovah was that which was created as a result of wt teachings - only to find out that the teachings had no factual basis.
we can also observe people all over the world who worship idols or nature or other gods such as allah or vishnu etc and we know that these people are in love with a god who is not true - if their beliefs about who god is are untrue then they are logically in love with a concept as opposed to a real person or spirit being.

Rather than participate in the thread asking if people really loved Jehovah I have a different question to ask but it requires a contextual setting prior to being considered.
Many posters here at one time loved Jehovah and we know our concept of Jehovah was that which was created as a result of WT teachings - only to find out that the teachings had no factual basis. We can also observe people all over the world who worship idols or nature or other gods such as Allah or Vishnu etc and we know that these people are in love with a god who is not true - if their beliefs about who God is are untrue then they are logically in love with a concept as opposed to a real person or spirit being. Now I understand that everyone who still holds some notion of a belief in God will hold that their version is right - and most will love God as they perceive him/her/it to be - but would you admit that you love the concept of God as you perceive God to be or as you want God to be rather than love God for who he is?
Another way to prove that people love the concept or idea of God is to look at the fact that the very belief that God exists in the first place is because people have faith (a belief rather than evidence) that God exists and they further have faith that if God does exists then God is who they believe God to be (more faith). The fact that faith is required is proof that people can only love the concept rather than the being they claim to be God.
If we take it a step further and admit we loved the concept of Jehovah or the concept of XXXX God then we are faced with the question - can you love a concept? Is this really love? I think there is no such thing as genuine love. Do you love a person or do you love what you perceive the person to be? Do you love the person or do you love how they make YOU feel? I am not advocating the abandonment of love as I would rather live in a world filled with love than with most other alternatives. - I am merely looking at the human emotion as being atomic unto the individual who shows the emotion rather than the emotion flowing from one person to another.
Lots of love, (sorry couldn't resist)

THEY'VE DONE IT!!!! The WBTS set a new date!
by dmouse inthe latest watchtower, dec 15th 2003, is an out and out attack on the rank and file for dropping into a drowsy state spiritually.
ok, so armageddon didn't come before the generation of 1914 grew old and died.
but does that mean that the big a isn't near?

I guess you know why I have the avatar of an ass now: it must be my comprehension skills.
I read this thread and the article and I do not get the same message that others hear are so keen to see and interperet. It would seem in our over-zealous desire to be anti-WTBS we might be making inferences that are a stretch...
But then like I said I am an ass...

How did all the animals fit on Noah's Ark?
by hooberus in.
many skeptics assert that the bible must be wrong, because they claim that the ark could not possibly have carried all the different types of animals.

This thread proves once and for all that size does matter. Everything else is irrelevant if you have lenght and girth - just ask a creationist.

Satanism is not a religion. It is total freedom.
