  Awake! says we can pray in Jesus' name!!!

  by Leolaia in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  according to this, jesus is not just the mediator of the 144,000 -- he's the mediator of mankind!!

  and apparently "dear jesus" prayers are okay!

  the watch tower says i can say, "dear jesus, you are my mediator as you are for all mankind..." "the bible clearly says that jesus christ is mankind's redeemer, so he is mankind's mediator.

  Did the Circut overseer ever scare you as a kid?

  by Singing Man in

  i will tell you what used to scare me real good was the circuit overseer when he would come to my parents home to stay.

  my parents would get real stressed out trying to find just the right food dishs and fix his bed real nice, and fight among them self's because of the stress of it all.

  so he always looked like this to me at the young age of six:

  Do JWs fear God or the organization? Can they distinguish between the two?

  by somebodylovesme in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i bring this up because i was just thinking about some crap i went through with my jw in-laws awhile back -- when i was marrying their son and we were desperately trying to figure out a way to do a wedding without him getting disfellowshipped.

  the things i heard them say (their objections) seemed framed by what the elders would say, how it would look to the congregation, their privileges, etc.

  i don't remember ever hearing them say that anything would displease jehovah.

  Why does God allow people to develop 'forbidden' special powers?

  by SM62 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  something i have been wondering about lately.. whether you believe in god or not, are a christian or some other religion or no religion at all, i'd be interested in your opinion.. according to those who believe in the bible including most christians, god condemns the use of 'special' powers/abilities.

  for example, esp, tarot, astrology, consulting a medium, spells etc.

  however, if god created us, did he not give us the ability to develop and use such powers?

  Leonard Cohen.

  by Englishman in

  i always loved his poetry and music.

  "suzanne" and "the butcher" were a real part of my early ex-dub days.. he's now well into his 60's and i've just seen a progamme about him on the biography channel.

  he seems at peace with himself now and smiles freely when questioned about his old age.. i enjoyed this poem of his that he wrote quite recently:.
