Bible Prophecies?

by mindfield in

no, i'm not getting any doubts that the bible is any more than what i believe it is... a myth.

however, i do have a particular question about one aspect that my jw uncle raised during one of our conversations: what about those so-called "prophecies"?

no, i'm not talking about the vague nostradamus-like "statue made of different kinds of crap".

I think you are talking about the antichrist

Are Born Agains qualified to help JW's?

.

are born agains qualified to help jw's?.

i don't think so.sorry if you are one i have nothing against you personnally, nor jw's come to think of it, but offering your version of truth to jw's is for them to jump out of the frying pan into the fire.. the bible is the root of jw problems , and following that book in which ever way you wish will always be in error..

Hey guys and gals. I'm a Christian that has been saved by the precious blood of Jesus Christ. Now to some that sentence is unaceptable, but to me it means that God loved us enough to send his Son to die for our sins, that all we have to do is believe that Jesus is the son of God and was crucified, and raised the third day. It's hard for people to accept the facts about the whole Bible. God does not send us to hell, people send themselves there by the worse sin of all, the sin of unbelief. Now if there is no hell, what does Luke mean in Chapter 16 verse19-31. Do we tear this out of the Bible or do we read it for what it says. I'm afraid to tear it out of mine. If God said it, I believe it, and that settles it for me. Now I may not be liked by saying this, but Jesus wasn't liked either for it.

Trotafox, I agree with you whole heartedly.

A Silent Ram

by DakotaRed in

this is probably going to be the most difficult thing i have ever written.

but, since i dont plan on being around [here] much longer, what the hell?

for some time now, we have discussed and expressed our outrage and horror at child molestation.

capbuster

Dakota Red, I know it took courage for you to tell this awful story of abuse. My prayers are with you, and your family. My mother tried this with my brother when he was little and I didn't find this out until 2 years ago he is now 49. I understand your stance on child molestation and I agree with you 200%. You have to have been there to understand, as you have, to know what goes on in a little boys mind after someone so special as a mother who brought you into this world,only to abuse you. My brother to this day still loved his mother and she treated us like crap up until the day she died. May God Bless you and all yours, and if you ever need to talk my email is open.

Okay here goes....My Story. Long but true.

by Lin in

please bear with me through this, this could likely become lengthy.

i feel it's time for me to give you my story as a dub.

i was born and raised in an extremely "hardcore", strict witness home.

capbuster

Lin, how my heart goes out to you. You said you were praying, and I'm happy for you there. Keep praying to Jesus for your strength to get through this. He will never forsake you.

NEW LIGHT!!!!!!!!!

by minimus in

jw
friends

we heard new light this evening.

a local needs talk was given about how anyone that knows someone might be dating a non- witness and doesn't report it to the elders is actually hindering the free flow of jehovah's holy spirit.

yes, if the "sin" goes unreported, the whole congregation will be affected, just as in the case of achan and his family!

Pitiful, Pitiful, This sounds like Communist Russia!

Why..........

by capbuster in

you all said i could ask anything i wanted to so here goes.

i know you all are hurting really bad and i wish from the bottom of my heart i could do something.

my question is....if you know the borg is wrong and the wtbts is wrong then.........why do you still read and believe some of the stuff they write.???

capbuster

Stinky Pantz, Sorry it took so long to get back to you on your questions. I was very busy yesterday and I had hoped you would have emailed me like you talked about. I'm not saying I have the answers you want to hear, but they will be the best ones I can give. Email me and maybe we can talk or study on what ever. There's not much about the questions you have already asked, I myself would like to know, only for curiosity, where God came from. The Bible says the Land of Temon is where God came from, now where that's at I don't know only that it is in the east. The answers to your next two are No, No. I hope this helps some. If you have anymore that I maybe can help you with let me know. Also I would like to tell you that I'm glad you care and I know Jesus is happy that you do to. See ya.

Stinky Pantz, It's good to ask alot of questions always. I have read the biology and other books as well. What are some of your questions if you don't mind? It sounds like you are hurting very much by your post. My only intent is to help not to hurt. Take care.

Vivamus, that is the reason I read it to. How better to beat the one you are at war with. I was only talking about some threads I read somewhere on the board (there has been so many) that some were still clinging to this teaching. After reading further I see that it is so hard to pull away from after such a long period of time in it. I only would like to be a friend and let them know that Jesus does care and it wasn't him that started this teaching back in the 1800's it was satan. Now that you are out I hope you find peace in your soul that only comes from Jesus. I would think that Jesus has already answered one of your prayers to get out from under there control. My prayer is that you find joy and peace after this, and are able to help others to get out. There are good people you can worship with out there, just ask Jesus to lead you. Like I told Sirona, I'm afraid to judge you or any other person on the planet let along on this board, that's Jesus's job not mine. I can't say you are lost or saved only you can do that. I can only say that there is peace in Jesus Christ. Take care.
