as a father, made in god's love, that has troubled me for a very long time, is that god, as described by the wts, is soon, going to slaughter every, roughly, 7.9 billion people on the planet, because they have figured out a way to come know him as a father according to the wts.. .

as a father, dear apologist, why would you kill/murder a one-day old baby?.

Unborn children are aborted routinely every day, so have we the right to judge God?

Apple Cider Vinegar

by poppers in

i've been drinking 1 tbs with a glass of water twice daily for digestion for about 3 weeks now.

i've found it helps, but it also acts as an appetite suppressant; i've lost several pounds since using it.

i'm consuming fewer calories because i'm just not as hungry as before.

My dad took a dose of that once when he had a sore throat. He took it neat and it nearly killed him. His throat closed up so he could not breathe. He was OK after a minute or so, but it really frightened him.

Do you mean 1st thess 4 v 13-17

Those who have no hope are people who are not baptised into Christ and do not expect to rise from the dead.

I'm out- Random thoughts on leaving as I look in the rear view mirror

it is amazing to look back at three years and see the journey that we have taken.

i went from being an elder to fading completely in the course of those three years.

along the way i am happy to say that my lovely wife woke up and realized that the truth is nothing but a lie.

It is so nice to drop the phobia of how worldly people will corrupt you.

They can't feel very strong in their faith if they think they can be corrupted by talking to people.

if the union jack is changed will we change our australian flag because the union jack is in our flag?

If they do split off, will they be part of the common market? If not, will they have to have passports to come to England? There are too many questions to be answered, so I don't see how anyone can make a sensible decision.

Where Will Jesus Come When He Comes?

by Cold Steel in

according to both christian and jewish eschatology, the messiah will come to jerusalem, where he will deliver the jews from hostile nations "round about.

"since the jehovah's witnesses and other adventists don't believe his coming will be literally fulfilled, but figuratively fulfilled, they simply believe he will return to the earth, where he will slay the wicked and the righteous will be caught up to meet him in the air.. first we have a christian declaration:.

and when [jesus] had spoken these things, while [the apostles] beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight.

Interesting point, Cold Steel. When Jesus returns the mount of Olives will split in two. This has not happened yet. I'm sure it will make the news when it happens.

angels and women

by caroline77 in

i was told by jw's that angels came down to earth before the flood, and had children with women.. i have a question about this and would like the sort of answer a jw would give so that i can be ready for them when they come to my door.. if one third of god's angelic staff were banished to earth, are they doing this now?.

if not, what is stopping them?.

if so, where are all these half angel children?.

Thanks for your answers.

This leads me to another linked question about bodies and spirits.

JW's have told me that Jesus gave up his earthly body when he died.

But after his death he disappeared from the tomb, and later was seen and felt by the disciples and some women. They confirmed that it was him, as he showed them the injuries he sustained in his body during his dying hours.

He also ate and drank with them to show them that he was alive and well.

I was told that his mortal body disintegrated and that angels can't eat. It seems to me that the JW's believe that the angels lied when they said that Jesus had risen from death, and that his body was done away with to make the lie easier to swallow.

I have never had an explanation of why they believe what they do, though I have asked many times.
