i'm young, fairly healthy, and anxious...for what?

where have i been?
by thebiggestlie inhello to all you folks in x-dub land......you may (or may not) have been wondering where i went to seeing that i simply dissapeared for a while..... i guess ive just been playin it safe by staying away from the "apostates"...i really am just trying to balance my family, my friends, my job, school and everything else into one easy to swallow package which i must say is almost impossible.. my mental state has been horrendous in the past few montths trying to figure out exactly what i believe and what i actually am going to do in this little thing called "life".
i suppose feeling insecure and stressed is pretty standard for a 17 year old like me.
adulthood is just around the corner and honestly im nott sure im ready to face it right now.

Truth
by thebiggestlie ini imagine part of the draw of the jws is the fact that they claim to have all the answers and the ultimate truth.
it's true they seen to on the outside provide many "answers" to many questions but now that i know these answers aren't the absolute truth that i once thought they were my mind is now open to a whole new world of ideas and theories and explanations.
assuming that logically there is only one absolute truth in the universe (that in itself is a huge assumption but bare with me) then it is easy to get tied down and overwelmed by the shear volume of differing info and ideas available to mankind.

Jude and Enoch
by thebiggestlie inhavn't posted in a while but i came across this rather interesting bit of trivia that i would like to hear from ya about.
the letter of jude at verses 14,15 make reference to a prophesy of enoch.
this prophesy is not found in the cannonical old testament books but is found in the apocryphal book of enoch at enoch 1:9. most all scholars don't believe the book of enoch was actually written by enoch the 7th in line from adam but jude attributes this prophesy to him.

Cyrus predicted?
by thebiggestlie into those who don't take the bible as gospel truth, is there an explanation for the prophetic prediction of cyrus as the one that would help bring down babylon?
this is one thing thats been on mind that i havn't really had the time to research and i'd love to here some of your opinions.
even thoughs that accept the bible i wouldnt mind hearing what you say as i am open to any idea.

Ancient idols?
by thebiggestlie insomething that has always puzzled me was the descriptions of solomon's temple as well as the golden snake in moses day.
with giant angel statues in the holy of holies and the golden bulls and the countless other "graven" images in the temple that were supposedly god approved.
how was this not blatent idolatry.
