  2. experiences

  i just wanted to introduce myself.

  i grew up as a witness in the 50's but found that there were to many issues that i could not resolve without going "outside" to investigate.

  i have never returned and have no desire to, however, about two years ago i discovered h20 and have been participating there every since.

  WHY does God fail to...

  by Martini in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  ...attain unanimous support from his creation of free moral agents?

  from the majority at least.. apparently according to the wt interpretation of god's own book...a prominent spirit creature who made himself satan became unsatisfied and left god.later untold numbers would join the devil.. now the only solution for the future of these 'rebels' would be for god to destroy them.. then the very first human creatures apparently also felt unsatisfied and withdrew from god.they got destroyed.. later god had to confuse the language of all humans because they were unanimously opposed to god.

  those people too are history.. then god had an ark built because all flesh had left god's way except for a handful of people.. evidently god was not expecting any great number to actually join noah, otherwise god would have had noah build several arks!

  2. friends

  i've picked up a little about each of us on the db, but we're a reclusive little group, aren't we?.

  well, my picture won't be going up any time soon, but i'll put out some personal information and hopefully others will too.

  makes chatting more fun, don't you think?.

  My Journey

  by Frenchy in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i suppose we all think of ourselves as unique and we are in so many ways.

  what i fail to realize, i guess, is that we are far more alike than unique.

  every now and then i will reveal some little fear or quirk or dream that i have only to find out that someone else has experienced the same thing!
