  Seriously,the answer is Yes.The Spirit of Christmas is all about "GIVING."All of us here have Giving many years of our lives to serve others.We have all always reflected the Spirit of Giving.For me leaving the Society will not change that Spirit of Giving of myself to others.Blueblades

  i was having my usual bible study on thursday, with an elder from our local kingdom hall.. we are about half way through the knowledge book.. when i brought up the u.n. scandal and the silent lambs thing he just walked right out my door.. i am left wondering if he will come next week or if i am disfellowshipped even before i am baptized?

  I remember that CB'S were considered Bethelites and accorded all the privileges except they had to sleep outside Bethel.Do you know of some friends or families that were CB'S.and that eventually became full time Bethelites.I remember when this was the big thing in the congregation.Blueblades

  " for anyone not that familiar with jw lingo, it is when everyone in the congregation gets together to raise a new kingdom hall in about a week, or a weekend.

  kind of like the amish do when they have "barn raisings.

  " lol.

  Hi Wingcommander,been to a couple of them.I remember how some sisters who were pioneering were allowed to count their time while they were hanging out at the QB.The sisters who were not pioneering were not allowed to count their time,even though they were providing food, and actually working at the QB.Blueblades

  Where is God?

  by donkey in

  2. beliefs

  why does god allow this stuff?

  according to your teachings, believers, just so he can stroke himself and show how man has failed.

  in fact believers will read this stuff and shrug it off because in the future god will fix it it and it just proves why we need god..

  Hi IslandWoman,Thanks for your post.Yes mankind has responsibility,however ,the original question posed by Donkey was "Where is God?"For those who say He exists then the question remains,why don't an Almighty God put a stop to mankinds dominating man to his injury as the scripture puts it?

  About the animals.Animals behave in a way characteristic of a species, natural unlearned predictable response to stimuli, in other words instinctively.It was God who put that in them.It was God who allowed them to eat each other .It was God who allowed man to eat them.So,the hardship that was added to the animals came as a result of what God has allowed.Of cause this is based on the premise that God exists.The others side to this ,is that of Darwins theory of the survival of the fittest.Again," Where is God?"He is "ALMIGHTY" why continue to let this eating of one another to go on with the animals and man eating them.This has nothing to do with vegetarianism which I am not and find no fault with those who are.It has to do with the question that I can't answer that Donkey posed,"Where is God?"

  Hi Realist,Perfection is relative.What is your understanding of perfection?

  Hi Aguest,You say your Father is planning to wipe out evil.My question is ,why didn't He wipe it out at the outset,nip it in the bud so to speak and prevented all this horror and suffering.Without using a belief system of faith,how do you arrive at the existence of God? Blueblades
