Jesus Was but not IS Michael!
by free thought into honor the son is to honor the father.. i am a practicing jw who i believe is of the heavenly calling.
this post is not to criticize wts but to open honest discussion among mature followers of christ.. there has been much controversy around the wts doctrine regarding the arch angel michael.
as many are aware, wts believe that jesus in his pre-human existence was michael , gods first born.

Did Jesus sacrifice really mean anything?
by highdose insuspending for a minute the realisation that it never happened and instead looking at it as a beliver would.... jesus had to endure a painful death, yes.
but he knew that he would only be dead for three days and that afterwards he would get reserected and be able to mind f**k around with those who had put him to death.
and then he would live for ever in a brand new body!

That one good friend
by ballistic inrecently i have an obsession with past times, i guess it's called middle aged or old aged, anyway.. i'm sure anybody out there remembers people from their childhood or growing up and thinks not a lot about it.. i remember some good jw buddies and here's an ode to them.. i met one outside a local cafe, and we stopped and looked at each other for 45 seconds, or what seemed like forever.
because we lived in each others pockets and we got on so well.
we would sit at our ibm 286 pcs and play wing commander to the late hour, and there was no internet.

Are we stupid or what ? / GOD doesn`t have to destroy 99% of the human race to rid the earth of wickedness to rid the world of wickedness
by smiddy inwe are talking about the god of the christian bible right wether he be called jehovah,yahweh,lord,the eternal,or whatever ,hang on make that the god of the jews,as well as the god of islam,because they are all interconnected aren`t they ?anyway to get back to topic,god is all powerfull,all knowing,the creator who through his will all things were created..full stop..if it/he /she manifested itself today in the present world situation,religously,politically,nationalistically,he wouldnt have to slaughter people by the millions,all he would have to do is nullify the armanents all nations have,say to them,with the moneys saved spend it on helping your brothers in the world to provide food clothing and shelter for those in need ,disband national boundaries,emphasising we are all one human race,that we need to care for one another,and that is our obligation to each other.
come clean on which religion if any should be worthy of our attention.
if he is god almighty he has the power to enforce his will,only individuals who are obstinate would need to die out in due time.. their is no need for mass slaughter on the scale as depicted in revelation and elsewhere in the bible,.
