True Christians neutral in War?
by Van Gogh intoday i re-established contact with an older true - friend who is still a jw.
in the fifty years that he has been baptized he invested a lot of time and effort in helping the needy and elderly, loyally taking up responsibilities in the org as an elder, organizer, speaker and shepherd.
he is still out there as a lowly publisher, tirelessly going from door to door with only his bible.

Can we talk more about meanings of individual words used in the bible?
by Judas I. ini really enjoyed the feedback i recieved from an earlier post i made.
i was asking about how anyone could actually know the meanings of simple words like "fire" "sea" etc and what they meant to the author of the bible.. all we have to go on is our own understanding of what we were taught by others who didn't write the book as to what "fire" was to them.
if they are wrong...we could be all screwed up trying to translate a book without any knowledge of the basic meaning of the words to the one who wrote it.

To Serve, or NOT to Serve, That is the Question!
by rockhound inthere seems to be much interest and discussion on the prophecy of jeremiah and whether the message he delivered was one about jerusalem's desolation, or about the servitude of jerusalem and all the nations all around it, to babylon.
was jeremiah's message about the 70 years, a message of total desolation, for just the jews in jerusalem and judah, or was the 70 years a message about babylon's time as a world power?
babylon was used by jehovah, for punishing his wayward people and then at the end of babylons appointed time, she also was punished by jehovah.. it is doubtful that the average witness has actually taken the time to sit down and read the book of jeremiah.

Revelation chapter 9
by NowImFree ini have been researching revelation 9 and have recently come to the realization that the jws are claiming in their own literature that they themselves are the locust horde coming out of the abyss spoken of in revelation 9 and they are also claiming that their king is abaddon the king of the abyss who they say is jesus.
in their old literature they used to say the abaddon is satan and now they have done a flip flop and say he is jesus!
this is just amazing to me that they would say this.
