  Confusion on what to believe, also guilt.

  by izzysma in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was raised a witness up until i was 16, never was baptized, and now that i have my own child now i am having a really hard time with wanting her to know what religion is.

  as i have gotten older, wiser i am doubting the truth even more...actually i never doubted it until just a few years ago.

  being a witness is the only religion i know so i still have that sense of loyalty to it even though it's not what i choose to be.

  Oldest bible being put online - what will that mean for WTS teachings?

  by Simon in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  (and of course for christianity as a whole).

  http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/magazine/7651105.stm.

  the problem is ... the oldest bible shows that it's been changed significantly so all the claims about it being gods word are clearly bogus.

  I agree with Jehovah's Witnesses!

  by UnDisfellowshipped in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i agree with jehovah's witnesses!.

  (i bet reniaa will be shocked to see this thread!).

  to jehovah's witnesses: i commend your zeal for god, your desire for accurate knowledge and truth of the bible, your goals of drawing close to jehovah, and following and obeying christ's teachings, and your time spent studying the bible.

  Why would ALMIGHTY god need a Flood?

  by wobble in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  leaving out all the obvious problems with a global flood,why would almighty god need a flood at all,with its attendant problems of gathering animals and building arks etc.when he obviously had the power just to destroy the "wicked" and just leave noah and family alive.. after all he destroyed just the first born in egypt (what had they done to offend him?

  ) so why not just snuff out who he wants to,why a flood?.

  come on fundies tell me!.
