Are there a minimum set of core beliefs that all Christians accept?
by nicolaou infor example, a christian could not simply believe that jesus was a compassionate man could he?
christ must be accepted as being divine either as part of a trinity or at least as the son of god.. must a christian believe that the miracles of jesus as recorded in the bible are actual events or can they be accepted as allegory?must a christian believe that "all scripture is inspired of god"?jesus is said to separate the sheep from the goats - can you be a christian without accepting that jesus will kill all the goats?there seems to be so much about christ that many christians are simply too uncomfortable to discuss.
why?

Are elders angels?
by hamilcarr init's amazing to see how all the supernatural beings mentioned in the bible are supposed to have a counterpart in real world, more specifically within the hierarchical wt structure.
a previous wt study pointed out that the governing body corresponds to jehovah in its capacity of sending out representatives.
jesus was said to correspond to the class of missionaries taught by the governing body, just like jesus (or michael) had been instructed by his heavenly father.

Fantasizing about the end of the Jehovah's Witnesses?
by Bring_the_Light ini'm pretty new here.
after being on my own 10 years, i'm finally coming to grips with my past (which i previously just ignored/didn't think about).
thanks for existing everyone, its been very existential.

I believe in a higher being
by Mickey mouse ini opened another thread with a similar title and thought it was going to be a discussion about belief in god but it wasn't.
so i started my own.. although i'm not sure of much at the moment (since i had my beliefs whipped out from under me like the floor under my feet) i feel fairly certain about one thing.
there is evidence of intelligent design and beauty in the universe and i don't logically think this is accidental.

Did God really warn mankind before the Flood of Noah?
by moshe injw's think they are doing a work just like noah did before the flood.
they say that noah's witness lasted for 40 years.
other than a few traders who moved around, i doubt that most tribal people would be able to safely travel to see noah's work in progress.
