Without Any Observer Can The Universe Exist?
by frankiespeakin inwhat do you think?
it is kind of like the question: if a tree falls in the forest and no one is there to hear it does it make a noise as it crashes to the ground?

Jesus, Michael, archangels - People who live in glass houses shouldn't....
by Inquisitor injesus may not be archangel michael (as the wts teaches), but it is still conceivable that he may be an archangel.
the arguments often heard on jwd are very adamant that the role of archangelship is sooooo below his lofty reach.
but is there valid scriptural proof that it is so?

Very much to the point
by InquiryMan ini wholeheartedly agree with this statement made in another web site:.
"by far the majority of jehovah's witnesses are good and honest people and, from the outside, it would be easy to understand the appeal of their way of life.
they support each other and share common goals and values.

Disfellowshipping question
by emilyblue inmy ex-boyfriend who i am trying not to see anymore was disfellowshipped last monday, but he sent in a letter of appeal because he felt two the the three elders who made the decision were biased against him because they knew his ex-wife and were automatically sympathetic to the woman's side.
he's disfellowshipped for having relations with me, even after he was divorced (before that, his divorce was unscriptural.
) how soon does the appeal take place?

How can scipture be used to dispute a JW when they alone understand it?
by The Dragon ini hear and see this alot.....debates consisting of two sides picking and hurling scriptures at one another to back up their assertions and guesses...it usually goes nowhere but wastes time and energy that could be more productivily used.. problem being is...in the case of the dubs...they believe that they and their leaders/teachers alone are being granted divine understanding...and you are trying to convince them they do not understand the book they wrote, and what they were trying to say in it basically.
they are allowed to pick and choose what is to be taken literal and figurelative without opposition...and should you point this out..you are in effect calling their leaders and trusted teachers liars.
you would have better luck convincing hitler what exactly he meant and really wanted from his book mien krap...could you convince him he really didn't have a clue and you knew it better than him?

Why would God...
by Crooked Lumpy Vessel input us on this planet...giving us life with all its beauty.
flowers, children, relationships, clouds, trees, kittens...then.
tell us we are imperfect human beings and that there are invisible evil forces and demonic influences that are much greater and stronger than we are trying to sway us in the wrong direction.

How can you be faithful yet not gullible or misled?
by The Dragon ini hear all the time how leaders justify why people should buy into and follow their guesses...and the whole defense is if you don't you have no faith.. what protects a "faithful" person from becoming prey to a self-exalted leader and their guesses?
or are the faithful meant to be prey or something?.

Is Sallvation a gift or by works? (An explination)
by A-Team inthis is for the jw lurkers out there.
now, lets look at how the word salvation is used in the bible.
we see that the word gift is used when the bible describes how one obtains salvation, but the word earned is never used.
