Suggestions Please
by Lostandfound inmy daughter is an ex jw as are all my children and my wife.
she works at university and as seems to be the case with uni staff, always looking for another degree to obtain.
she has had some suggestions and is keen on something along the lines of research into cults such as wt and scientology, more specifically why so many former jws fo example, are living with the need to destroy and oppose quite loudly the wt.

The parable of the sheep and the goats!
by TimothyT ini was reading again the parapble jesus spoke to his disciples about the sheep and goats.
when i read it, it was plain and simple in my eyes.. 34 then the king will say to those on his right, come, you who have been blessed by my father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the founding of the world.
35 for i became hungry and you gave me something to eat; i got thirsty and you gave me something to drink.

Who has the authority to decern what the bible really teaches?

not only the wts, but many other christians attempt to speak about the bible with authority.
how do we measure who is an authority if we don't know that much?.

A Stupid Prayer by Jesus
by deegee inso jesus prayed:"father, forgive them, for they don't know what they are doing" (luke 23:34).. how must god forgive those who put jesus to death when god required jesus' death as the only mechanism by which he would or could forgive individual humans for their sins and grant them salvation?.

romans 4:24-25 (niv):"for us who believe in him who raised jesus our lord from the dead.
