JWs thoughts on Hell
by Oxnard Hamster inthe jws don't believe hell, as in the place where evil people are tortured for eternity, exists.
they reason that a loving god would not send his own creation to be tormented for eternity.. yet on the flipside, the jws preach that in 1914 (yeah, you all know this arguement.
) there was a big war in heaven, and satan and all his creatures were cast down to earth.

The Only True Church
by danielweatherlee in.
does god have a true church on the earth today?yes,and i will reveal it.it is the free will baptist church,which is true in every sense.they preach jesus,they study god's word correctly and rightly divide the word of truth.they are not led by a distant leader,they are led by their local leader chosen by god.if the sign out front doesn't say free will baptist then you are in the wrong church.look for that sign,and then you've found the right church.

"Lord" meaning Jesus switched to "Jehovah" in the NWT?
by ithinkisee ini read somewhere on this board in that past that there were numerous examples in the greek scriptures in the nwt where the society translated "lord" that obviously meant jesus to the name jehovah to avoid problems with "trinity" doctrinal issues.. can someone point me to some research or examples regarding this.
i googled jwd but didn't really come up with anything.. .

by mnb77 inthe jw have prohibited:
as of 1944, jw can?t take blood transfusions cause it is against the teaching and stuff (gen 9:4 => not eating blood)
with this one, why don?t the jw?s look at leviticus 3:17, which says, ?you must not eat any fat or any blood at all?

Some resurrection thoughts by CS Lewis
by bebu intoday's entry from "the business of heaven", a book of daily readings of cs lewis, regards the resurrection account of christ, and how the account of christ eating fish with the disciples after he resurrected raise problems.
how could a ghost eat?
the disciples did not expect jesus to come visit, and their worldview did not hold to ghosts with working stomachs.
