  Why do u feel u should not? If there is a compelling reason not to then the choice is made, if nor? what's the harm? Supervise the contact...

  We weren't there thanks for sharing.

  People in need will express hope for a better future! Isn't that what we all want? I did.

  Just give it to me straight and let me figure it out! Don't force me to believe with mind controlling words!

  Why doesn't god do anything tangible now?

  by punkofnice in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i was always told that god did loads of stuff that was evidence of his existance.

  ususally very brutal things too (b#st@rd).. jesus walked on water and raised the dead we are told.. it seems to me also that the older the story, the more exaggerated it is...y'know...talking snake......global flood.. there are those that claim god speaks to them now and they alone 'know' it.

  (cuckoo!!!).

  I'm capable of understanding!!! god is not able to express... With understanding! otherwise we would not be having these "mis-understandings"

  • I was told he doesnt do these things because we have the whole bible for examples.

  God does do tangible things all the time but they are hidden in plain sight because the idea is that he wants us to search for them. The reason is because only one who really searches demonstrates that they will commit to what then follows as a result of finding.

  OMFG!

  Terry, so sorry for the way this turned out.

  Its apparent to me now that for many death will come before realization that they have neen duped. Perhaps a good thing for them, to live their lives with this hope they believe is true. My mom at 80 is one of them, however she is-does have some conscience concerns. Too late for many, as their lives are coming to an end.

  Today's WT study

  by piztjw in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  so as i looked at the material i was struck by a few thoughts about this article.. par.

  6 glossed over the idea that we can pray for ourselves, or our needs.

  9-11 on one hand they say jesus did not harshly criticize peter or the apostles for falling asleep instead of praying continually, and on the other hand make veiled threats if we should feel tired out by life.

  In one paragraph they give a lesson then in the next they take it away.

  So many lessons are written this way...like we need to be forgiving, then the next paragraph say we maybe too sensitive. Typical double speach! You can't have it both ways.

  Omg...already!

  Its not that we have a penis it's the size of it.

  If u must know we are pulled into the back room and must show our penis to determine what position we are qualified for. So u see size does matter.

  I get tired of being refered to as a penis first then a man. Get over it...if they changed the rules u mostlikely would not get the position because of attitude not your Gender. Many males "penis" don't get the positions either!
