Heavenly Hope
by Quendi inhere are some questions i want to pose to our friends here.
does a person have to be baptized to go to heaven and if one must get baptized, how is this to be arranged and by whom?.
the reason i ask this is many here have professed their belief that they are part of the body of christ, should partake of the emblems whenever they celebrate the lord's supper, and will go to heaven after they die if they have been faithful.

Is the Governing Body Guilty or not guilty of 1975 speculations going too far?
by Terry inthe most disengenuous aspect of "official" pronouncements from the society can be identified.. it is in the positioning of the speaker/writer as a passive onlooker commenting on exterior happenings.. this bystander mode is clever by half.. why?
it spoon feeds information without taking any active personal responsibility.. sort of an "oh gee, wow--look at all this going on" stance, while taking a stand-offish tone, is printed in the official magazines and books approved for publication by the governing body as mouthpiece of jehovah.. think about that.
it is insidious incitement without responsibility.. the person (likely fred franz) who crafted these bulletins had gone through several previous incidents of failure and disappointment and was well aware of the effect of any speculations upon jehovah's witnesses in the past.. this makes what was printed all the more calculated and irresponsible in the extreme.. let us parse the language printed by the watchtower society with careful attention to what is said and left unsaid.. w68 8/15 p. 494 why are you looking forward to 1975?.

Am I being paranoid ?
by wobble ini have had a friend request on fb from a sister in my old congo.
fair enough i suppose.
but it looks like a very new page she has, it just mentions her name, and the school she went to, there appears to be no friends on there yet.. suspicious ?

God \ Universe
by ballistic inhi there, i don't claim this is true, it just came to me just now, perhaps you can point out any logical errors etc i've made or any other conclusions?.
.
there may be or may not be a god.. there is definately a universe.. the universe may have been created by god or may have come into existance of it's own accord.. neither the universe nor god can come into existance at a particular point in time as there was no time prior to the universe - it didn't exist.. only at the universe's creation did time begin therefore god never existed for a certain amount of time prior to it.. my conclusion is that god is the universe or the universe has always existed along with god?.

Rejecting Their Beliefs CAN'T be Sincere...
by jgnat ini came across this quote today.. ".
[t]he koran consistently assumes that the infidels are not people who have come to a good faith decision that islam is false.
in the koran, those who reject islam are never acting out of sincere conviction.
