why are all angels in jw publications male?
i was thinking about this today, as i notice other christian religions show angels as male and female.
do you think that this was another way of showing how males were superior to females in their teaching, or that their god "jehovah" was more favorable to the male appearance.
Yadirf,
Reading Ozzies profile, I see he was an elder for many years. Is this the norm as to the quality of knowledge in the JW faith? I'm surprised at the lack of knowledge and understanding displayed in his posts. I think he's succeeded in forcing himself to believe Christiandom garbage.

----So I take it you don't think there's hidden symbols in the drawings? And if so why? Or why not? Explain it to me.
hi folks,.
i'm rather new here, only posted a couple of times.
although i have been visiting the site daily for a good 2 months now.
My argument is based on the Idea that these celebrations displease God. If there's no belief in God and his scripture, then who cares if you do or don't celebrate it, right? How can you argue for or against pagan celebrations if you don't hold to a belief in God and his scripture? Europe can do or say whatever he wants and be only accountable to Europe. Not so with a christian. He is accountable to God and so his day to day living must be in accordance to his will. If not, then your only accountable to yourself which is fine but that's where the line in our discussion is drawn. All I hear you saying is "If you want to celebrate it, then fine, have fun! who I am I to tell them not to have fun" If your not a believer then why even argue? Your opinion is not based from a belief in a god that holds you accountable for your faith. It's sounds more to me like a "do what you wanna do" dogma. Unlike JW's who go door to door, I don't impose my views on anyone. But I will make my opinion known if asked.
in the midst of the debates -- or wars -- concerning the issues of creation and evolution, there is a tendency to over-generalize.
both sides often refer to the opposing side with the broad term of either "evolutionist" or "creationist.
" and yet there exists within both sides a great deal of variety and even controversy.
FAITH [noun:] 1A. Trust. 2A. Belief in GOD 2. Loyalty.
I have faith in God...Where did it come from? How did I reach This conclusion? There is no Scientific answer to this one. My family became involved in the JWs when I was about 10yrs old. Before then God was never mentioned at all. I on the other hand, always had a fascination with the idea of a omnipresent everlasting creator ever since I found a bible (ASV) in an old box being thrown out by my neighbor. I came to have read it several times before i was about eight. Even before this I just had a "feeling" of something greater. Wish I could explain it more thoroughly. It has driven me ever since. I can't rationalize my belief. It's internal. I don't need tanglible proof. It's a belief...A trust in something that was only internalized after I read the bible. Could it have been any other god? Maybe. But this one makes the most sense to me out of all that I have researched. Now that my faith is solidified, I find myself, like anyone else in the same situation i'm sure, quite biased in my conclusions when it comes to creationism or anything pertaining to God. There is a point where your Faith in God, the God, transcends all logic and you come to admit to yourself that your not in control....That you can't and don't posses all the answers. That's where your gamble to believe takes over. Maybe that Particle of faith, to believe in and put a faith in something greater than ourselves is not present in everyone. it becomes something beyond any MEASURED reason. Maybe it's something that not all posses. Could it be a innate skill only assigned to a few? I don't know.

Reminds me of that movie called: THEY LIVE! Same premise too! I think it was Roddy Roddy pipers (the wrestler) first feature film.
