Getting perspective...
by Gregor incascade locks, oregon.
here in the heart of the columbia river gorge we live beneath the looming, snow covered crags of the cascade mountain range where the columbia river cuts through its spectacular canyon about 1500 feet deep and a mile wide.. we are on the oregon side of the river and when we step out on the porch we literally must look almost straight up to see the peaks.
i have been building a tool shed out in the back but can only work a couple of hours at a time because of the rain and cold of the last few weeks.

Why I'm mad at god.

i guess that probably offends some people.
i don't intend to make people feel bad, but here's what's been going on in my life lately:.

Have you heard: "Worldly people just live for the holidays"
by Gopher inwhile i was a jw, around this time of year i would often hear jw's saying that non-jw's live only for their holidays, because that's all they have to look forward to.
after all, they don't have the wonderful hope of living in paradise on earth forever under the loving direction of jehovah's organization !!
so, for those of you who are former jw's or never were jw's, what would you say about that idea (wordly people only live for holidays), and why do jw's really say that?.

Do you understand the ransom?
by Fisherman inbecause i am a christian i accept the ransom with a leap of faith but undrstanding it is beyond my imagination.
i cannot justify torturing and killing the innocent, but that is only my thinking.
god must have good reasons for what he does.

The Christmas Star
by praiseband injw literature tries to persuade us that the star was actually sent by satan to guide the evil magi to the site of jesus and his family.
yet, the bible tells us in genesis that god was the creator of all the stars in the heavens.
nowhere that i am familiar with does the bible state that satan made any of the stars or any other celestial object.

What does it really mean? "To be, "no part of the world?"
by acadian in"to be, "no part of the world?
after comparing romans 13:1-7 , john 15: 18-21, james 4:4, what do you think it means to be "no part of the world"?
let's say paul was telling the church at romans 13: 1-7, "be subject to the secular government," which at that time was the roman empire.

Who are false prophets?
by KW13 inare the watchtower society false prophets?
well it says in the bible, should someone make a prophecy and it not come about then that individual is a false prophet.
