  Benny Hinn - DO YOU BELIEVE IN MIRACLES?

  by William Penwell in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  just watched a documentary about benny hinn ministry, i can't believe anyone is that gullible to believe this crap.

  not only is he a fraud but he is also a crook, taking money from poor susceptible people.

  he also sure likes to live the high life to.

  Revelation 11:18 ("bring to ruin those ruining the earth") Meaning?

  by AlmostAtheist in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  hey folks,.

  just curious, any concensus on what john actually meant here?

  i doubt a guy in the first century could honestly envision a time when mankind could genuinely "ruin the earth" if the idea struck them.

  What is a disfellowshipping offense?

  by M.J. in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i had a brief discussion with my wife about the practice of shunning and i asked her if the act of associating with a df'ed or "apostate" individual would get someone disfellowshipped.

  she denied that it would, saying that it was not included among the specific "disfellowshipping offenses" listed in the bible.

  yet my understanding is that there are many things that can get a jw disfellowshipped which aren't among the immoral practices specifically listed by paul in that context.

  Just got something ... thought it might help

  by RobertPalmer in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  was just out at church and came home picked up my bible and read some thing.

  it really jumped out at me so i thought i would share it ... it never made sense to me before it was always very confusing.

  if it confuses you wait for the explination because i feel it may let you see what i saw in it.

  i've come to a new conclusion about myself, this board and communication in general: i don't need to respond, elaborate, explain or otherwise defend myself to other people.

  most notably on this board, of course.

  here's my reasoning: .

  question for history buffs..

  by candidlynuts in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  last night my honey and i watched the program about pharoah on discovery channel.. they did facial reconstruction of pharoah and his sons heads...

  anyway..in it they discussed how monotheism began with the egyptians.. that led to my honey and i talking about how people worshipped "god" in isolated areas thruout history before christianity or any other religions came to them.

  what we know of history people would have rain gods, sun gods, earth gods , fertility gods etc.
