If its good, God did it... if its bad Satan did it....
by Elsewhere in.
.
i've read the bible and i don't recall satan himself actually ever doing anything evil or harmful... however i read many accounts where god killed or tormented countless thousands of people for arbitrary reasons.. aside from prophecies where jehover says that satan will hurt people in the future (hasn't happened yet, and no sign that it will happen), can anyone cite an example in the bible where satan actually harmed anyone?.

why do animals die?
by doogie inif man dies because of inherited sin (as pretty much all bible based religions believe), why do animals die?.
if sin is "falling short of god's will" and sin results in death, how have animals "fallen short" thus deserving death?
if there was a dog messiah, would animals be redeemed as well?

i have a new god! it is my digital cable
by doogie inman, my digital cable is unbelievable and i firmly believe that my cable box has divine power.. i have hbo and with the miraculous power of the digital cable you also get "hbo on demand" which is like a vcr in your cable box.
you can play/rewind/fast forward any movie or show hbo is currently showing that month whenever you want.. how did i go so long without it?
it is like water in a dry land.

What in Heaven's Name is Going On!
by Blueblades inin a time of fear and mass insecurity, dark religious themes have found an eager audience, not a new one , but, a revealed one.. judgment day, armageddon and the revelation are among the jolly themes now inspiring television shows, hollywood movies, books, even broadway style musicals.. the passion of the christ.
left behind novels.
the daughter of god.

JW morality: is it from virtue or calculating self interest?
by True North injws love to congratulate themselves for being -- as they see it -- morally superior to "worldly" people.
however, if one does something right to get a reward (eternal life in paradise, status in the congregation) or refrains from doing something wrong to avoid punishment (death at armageddon, disfellowshipping), is that virtue or calculating self interest?
is virtue only what one does and not why?

Why Preaching From House to House Is a WASTE and a SCAM!
by minimus inlogic tells us that the "preaching work" is alot to do about nothing.
knocking on doors when no one is home is a stupid waste of time!
the odds of finding a bible study that gets baptized after leaving a person a tract or magazine has got to be ridiculously low.

How do you cheer yourself up?
by Sirona inif your jw family upset you, or if you're having "one of those days" (or weeks, or months .
is there anything that you actively do to counter the negative feelings?.
i usually try to go into "look after myself" mode and spend some time alone just relaxing or having a good cry .
