New to the forum - want to introduce myself
by lovelylil inhi my name is lillian and i am posting for my first time.
i was a witness along with my husband and two children for 12 years and gave in my letter of disasociation about a year and a half ago.
i have struggled with the guilt of bringing my family in contact with the witnesses (i have always been a bible searcher) and i am only coming to terms with this recently.. i now consider myself a born again believer in christ jesus and read my bible daily to check and see what is true.

How does mainstream Christianity explain "Other Sheep"?
by Alana ini'm preparing for a potential discussion with my mom and, especially if it occurs near this memorial time, the discussion may contain the "other sheep" and how they are different and shouldn't partake of the emblems, etc.
i know that i probably have this information researched already, but since my last move i can't find some my research materials.
i could also ask the pastor of the church i attend, but that involves too much discussion as to what the jw's believe, etc.

Are the 144000 Virgins or not?
by SickofLies inrev 14:3 and they sang a new song before the throne and before the four living creatures and the elders.
these were redeemed by jesus from among men, the first fruits to god and to the lamb.
these are they who with women were not defiled, for they are virgin; these are they who are following the lamb whithersoever he may go; these were bought from among men -- a first-fruit to god and to the lamb -- (ylt).

Where were you when the realization hit, that the WTS was not in the truth?
by whyizit ini was listening to a testimonial by valerie acuff and she said that she was sitting in an assembly, looking around at the crowd and thinking to herself, "this is your family, these are your people.".
she said at that moment she heard a voice inside say, "these are not your people, this is not your family, get up and leave now, and don't ever go back.
" so she took her two children at that very moment and left, and she never went back.

Do you think that "Armaggeddon"/Hellfire damnation" is just scare tactics?
by booker-t inmany people have come to believe that the churches, religions or the world today just use "punishment" as a form of scare tactic to get controll over people.
i am beginning to think maybe these people are right.
it is hard for me to believe that a "loving" god would destroy 6 billion people just to save a "few" people at armaggeddon.

February 2007 - The Prophecy Experiment
by nicolaou in.
here's how it works.
you make a prophecy that is due to be fulfilled a year from now, in february 2007. now of course, experience has taught us that if a prophecy is too specific the probablities that it will be fulfilled are reduced, conversely, if the prophecy is too vague any fulfillment will be difficult to assess and of little value.. so, make a prophecy with tight enough parameters so that it will generate interest and allow the observer to be "on the watch" but broad enough to give yourself the widest possible chance of fulfullment.. sure, it's a long term prophecy and we all have the attention span of a soap bubble but i'll bump the thread periodically and make a note in my diary for this time next year.. february 2007 - we should be able to anoint our new, chief prophet!
