Does god need

by trinity4life in

what did god love before he created?

does god need man to love?

god is love.

I don't think it was just the fact of Jesus dying, but also of him being humiliated. If you were God, would you humiliate yourself, the Almighty God to save humanity. He didn't need to do it, in fact, I dont think he needs us to worship Him. But he did it for love for us. - CA

Hahaha, I think the pioneer with the most hours and the most books sold gets to test a rocket to outer space. Imagine a rocket built by the Watchtower. The engineers would be sort of engineers but not really, and certainly they would not be rocket engineers. LOL. By the way, I saw one in some show in Fox where they said that we never got to the moon. They gave pretty good reasons, anyone seen it here?

I don't think God needs us, we need him. His greatest act of love that humanity knows of is giving his Son to die for us. - CA

anger

by Rush in

i've made a few posts on the forum to date, and have read more.

i'm in a really bad mood and looking for some shoulders to cry on.

i will try to keep my story brief.. i left the jw's 9 years ago and never went back.

I don't know how it feels when all your friends and your family turns your back on you, but I can imagine it and it would be very depressing. From what I've read in this forum, it's pretty hard to trust in any other religion after leaving the organization, but try searching for what you feel is the truth and ask God for direction. This way, you can enter another religion and start making friends, friends who will support you in every possible way they can. God, time, and these people will help you get over your depression. God bless you. - CA

Spirit of competition

by Nic in

i will get around to telling you my story as soon as i figure out where to post it!.

i was a witness for 19 years (i left/df'd when i was 19) and was always told that i wasn't allowed to participate in after school sports because it was getting involved in competition which is frowned upon.

so how come it's ok for the williams sisters to play professional tennis, have a career, earn loadsa money and wear totally immodest short skirts which show their knickers shock horror!!

Lol, so what is Michael Jackson now, a mormon?

Jehovah's Witness and Birthdays

by lisavegas420 in

i know that jehovah's witness say only two birthday celebrations are spoken of in the bible and that neither were held by persons who worshiped jehovah.

or were there any other celebrations that were simular to birthday celebrations?.

inquiring minds need to know.

ClassAvenger

Yeah, sounds good to me about that comment "that's not how to have a birthday party". Im a Baptist, and in our religion we are not allowed to dance because of that incident of John the Baptist in the Bible. Of how the girl that dances pleases the king and says he'll give her anything she wants. So, if that's not how to have a birthday party then is dancing forbidden? From what I've been taught its not bad to dance if its to praise God or if you are dancing with another person but a bit appart from each other. Lol, weird. I don't really care since I don't dance anyways.

Blasphemy

by ClassAvenger in

i was asked how come the bible says that god forgives blasphemy to the father and the son, but not the holy spirit.

if they all are god, what makes the person of the holy spirit more important regarding blasphemy than the father or the son.

sorry, i don't know much about the bible, but i'm trying to learn here, alright?

God's Channel Quote

by ClassAvenger in

there's a quote on the watchtower being god's channel at the site http://quotes.jehovahswitnesses.com/channel.htm.

it lies between august 15, 1933 and november 1, 1933. this quote has a "?/??".

i would like to know if anyone has the date on this magazine.

ClassAvenger

Yeah, and I have also seen how they misquote them. I need to get some books such as One Lord, Many Witnesses of William Barclay, an author who was misquoted in the magazine "Should You Believe in the Trinity?". I'll probably show it to her when I get it, although I don't think it will be of much impact on her.
