  i don't think so.sorry if you are one i have nothing against you personnally, nor jw's come to think of it, but offering your version of truth to jw's is for them to jump out of the frying pan into the fire.. the bible is the root of jw problems , and following that book in which ever way you wish will always be in error..

  Hi JT,

  I can wholeheartedly tell you that at this point in my life I'm not really sure what hell is. I don't know if it is just non-exsistence or fiery torment or an awareness that you are separated from God forever. I have been away from the wt for 7 years and only fairly recently (3 yrs.)? have become a Christian. I don't know the answer to your question. To tell you the truth, I am not totally comfortable with humans who say that they have all of the answers. I just know that my personal salvation was bought and paid for by Christ. I am sure of what I do believe and I'm ok with the fact that I don't know everything. It took me a long time to become content with the fact that I didn't get it all.....I found comfort in reading a verse in Psalms that said.."Be Still and Know that I Am God" I guess He's in charge and I was sort of relieved to realize that He is even in charge of what I know now and what I have yet to learn. luv, dj

  does anyone know why the new world translation omits john 8:1-11?

  john 8:1 - but jesus went to the mount of olives.

  2- at daybreak, however, he again presented himself at the temple, and all the people began coming to him, and he sat down and began to teach them.

  I guess......that it is certainly in line with everything else Jesus taught. I just see it as another way of showing that the Law was on it's way out to make way for the new covenant and it all just means to quit judging. You know, the rafter in your eye thing and judging your bro. So, i suppose no harm is done if it was added. I just can't see why it would be added because it doesn't change a thing, really. I don't know, maybe I'm missing something here? I always liked that story. I hope it really happened. dj

  .... that would easily cover a quarter on my wall.

  now, i don't mind the arachnid critters outside, but when they cross that boundary into my home, they're fair game.

  if they are camped out on my window sill outside, i'll even name them - but not in my bedroom.

  Hi Trot,

  I agree with you and experience every single thing that you said. Isn't that amazing when you consider the fact that no man taught me. Call it coincidence? Not likely, I'd call it amazing grace. He has changed my heart from one of stone to one of flesh. Now, if you knew me before....you would know that you've seen a miracle. The works, aka good deeds flow from a new nature that is full of love. It is not any longer trying to live up to someone's standards but a sheer desire to love and show it. The wt was the worst mistake of my life. Then again, who knows....maybe their hate drove me straight into the arms of Christ. Wouldn't that be weird, I guess that is one way that God works all things for good~~~~~kewl again. In Christ, dj

  Mim,

  I'm not an Aussie..but I like their shampoo. I HATE YUKKY SPIDERS.........and crickets too. I act like a lady in a cartoon and climb up on a chair and scream for my husband. He laughs at me then he saves me from the horror. I think that this fear may stem from childhood because my sister (jw) used to pull all of the legs off af daddy long leggers and throw the body down my shirt. Man, she was a mean sister.... still is. Poor ((((((mim))))))) I wish that I was with you so I could have helped by screaming.... luv, dj

  The term born again is not a title, it is a truth

  Joseph: This is exactly what my entire point was. I'm not sure why you can't see that. It seems to me that all you have done is make Blanket statements. You gave no specifics whatsoever...I guess that is why I have no idea what you are talking about. Aint buying yer books...either. dj

  Hey Einstein,

  Ok..you mean the dubs don't read it at the KH's right? You don't mean that it is actually omitted from the NWT do you??? I threw my NWT's away where they belong in the trashhhhh.

  If you are asking why they don't talk about that paragraph..well, I think it's obviously because they would condemn themselves. It would tend to (maybe) let people have those awful independent thoughts.

  Good point. Anyone ever learn that scripture in the KH's???? dj

  First and the Last of Rev 1:17 - why in caps?

  by Trotafox in

  2. friends

  referring to the excellent "kitchen" witness scene in gregbetre's thread regarding jw's denying the deity of the christ, i do have one question..... .

  rev 1:8; 17-18; 22:13 states that jesus christ is the alpha and the omega, the first and the last, and the beginning and the end.

  i don't think it is true that all jw's will say that rev 1:17 refers to jehovah.

  Hi Trot.....me again....I was sure that I would NEVER believe in the trinity too. I think that IS why a lot of people stay dubs. I used to think to myself....."Even if the jw's aren't right I have to stay because everyone else is deceived with that Trinity stuff."

  I was not taught the trinity by man..it is taught by the holy spirit through the scriptures. I couldn't believe it at first....but it just kept coming...verse after verse. This is not man-made. It's too weird to think up anyway...lol God is so kewl............ Thanks for your thread. dj

  Hi Barry,

  That is a weird thought. Even Paul declared that not all have the same gift. I agree that all Christians are born again. That's my point. If you ask most Christians if they are born again the answer would be yes. I think that if someone declares that you are not born again because you don't speak in tongues is absurd. Crazies are everywhere.........eh? dj
