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.

Why Did Adam & Eve Need An Immune System???
by enlightenedcynic inhere is a question i would like answered intelligently if possible.
i asked my wife and another brother during an informal gathering of friends and was given the typical "wait till the new system, jehovah will answer all questions" response.
for the last year or so i began to seriously doubt the existence of a "loving, caring god".

Are There Any Worthy Non-Watchtower Charities?
by TMS injehovah's witnesses are subtly discouraged from contributing to any charities other that the watchtower society.
while acknowledging that groups other that the wt may do "some good", jw's may feel that charitable groups are generally dishonest, wasteful or simply not doing things "jehovah's way.".
now, as an ex-jw, have you found any charities worthy of your monetary support?
