The greatest person...probably Job...he endured more than even Jesus and did not have the Angels to comfort him (that's if your looking for someone from the bible)
Next to him its going to be the person who can save my family from the Borg!

UpandAtom your talking deep this morning
First decide what is proof to yourself, before seeking an answer… for an answer I can give you… but proof I can not
Then grasshopper snatch the pebble from my hand and all will be revealed.. lol
Blue I have started to think that maybe some of these were not physically dead. Just like when they were healing ones they attributed all sickness pretty much, with having a demon. Did all these people really have a demon or where they simply sick or diseased? Often when they healed someone the word saved could have been used instead of healed according to the reference bible.
So what if Elisha res one child..he killed 42!

Doubt......Is it Always Bad
by shotgun ini had to share this..
an elder dropped off some material he printed out to encourage me.....i don't think he read it himself....in discussions i have continually pointed out the reason why i have doubts is because i've read most of the publications from the late 1800's right through the glory years 1914 to 1942 and lost faith due to seeing the repeated changes and false predictions made by russell and rutherford.
why would god tell rutherford to name anything after him and reveal complex bible passages which are still hotly debated by many scholars while allowing him to teach and mislead thousands under that same banner of truth.

Your right Lady Lee
I went to the synagogue (Hall) yesterday and endured 2 hours of community service and stomached all the comments from the WT which Blondie already reviewed..the one on truth.
How so many can sit and comment about not trusting ones or religions which have mislead or promoted the ideas of men and not see they are part of the foremost examples of this, it drives me nuts.
One Guy(BR) even commented that we should not keep books in our personal libraries which are full of ideas which are contrary to bible truths...
I felt like getting up and going back to the hall library and doing a wholesale cleaning starting with all the crap they have from 1881 right to 2003.....
Now that would have made my day

Why would God tell Rutherford to name anything after him and reveal complex bible passages which are still hotly debated by many scholars while allowing him to teach and mislead thousands under that same banner of truth. Which we have discarded BTW for the most part.
Anyway...The article says Religious exhortations to believe and doubt nothing are dangerous and deceptive. A loving christian is ready to believe those who have proved trustworthy in the past. But Gods word warns of putting faith in every word.( Prov 14:15) Sometimes a persons past record gives legitimate reasons for doubt. ''Although the deceptive talker makes his voice gracious'' the bible warns, ''do not believe him''(Prov 26:24,25)
An expression a teaching or an opinion might appear to emanate from God. But did it really come from him? Exercising some doubt, or suspending belief can be a real protection because, as the apostle John says ''many deceivers have gone forth into the world'' Remember Gods word and promises never fail!
Hard to imagine that the elders gave me an article which makes its clear to me I am on the right course...Thanks boys
