hebrews 8:5 - 5they serve at a sanctuary that is a copy and shadow of what is in heaven.

just as we have a physical father on this earth, we have a spiritual father in heaven.

here, we can find the words "brothers" and "sisters.

Time of The END ????
by wobble in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
a number of religions ,not just the wacky dubs, claim we are in the "time of the end ".

now, leaving out silly numbers and 1914, which was blown away years ago, what do such apocalyptic doom-mongerers have from scripture to give this idea credence ?.

the only thing i can think of , apart from the "cry of peace and security " which is no proof at all, is daniels dream image in dan chap.

jesus denies being God! scriptural discussion.
by reniaa in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
i thought after recently reading the bible i would put up for disussion some recent scriptures up which for me show that jesus never viewed himself as god and anyone listening would also see it this way too.. first mark 10 :17-20.

17as jesus started on his way, a man ran up to him and fell on his knees before him.

"good teacher," he asked, "what must i do to inherit eternal life?

Spirits

what's your take on the spirit realm?

are there angels, demons, ghosts?

how do you otherwise explain those who for a fact are demonpossessed, scourged, woodoo, mediums, people who experience things moving and sounding in there homes etc.. a missonary in kenya once told me she studied with a demonpossessed woman and that the sister herself spoke with the demon and told him/her to leave and said jehovahs name.

VOTE YOUR "SILVER BULLET" QUESTION
by V in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
i'm quizzing all my sources for the ultimate "silver-bullet" question for a jw at your door.

the best questions will be used in a video series on watchtower comments.

the goal is to help people respond to jws.. the question must be direct and designed to open the jw mind, not necessarily to win an argument.. i would prefer to avoid doctrinal debate such as trinity, cross, even thiest/athiest subjects.

Pope Joke ? = 5 Years In Prison !
by Rabbit in
1. social
2. current
there was a very good reason the founding fathers in the us demanded "separation of church and state.

" i would have sworn italians had "freedom of speech.".

geezus jumping christ on a pogo stick...since the pope hasn't 'forgiven' this lady's joke, i wonder what the pope's boss would do ?.
