Need help responding to a pioneer
by megs ini posed the question to a pioneer who had been giving me bible studies.
my question was quite simple: "in john 3:16, doesn't it say that whosoever believeth in him will have eternal life?
my understanding of this scripture is that eternal life is given to all who believe in christ and believe he died to save sinners.

Feeling Vulnerable
by megs inokay... help... i'm feeling weak right now... i haven't spoken to my dub in 6 weeks, still not over him, still thinking about him far more than i should... anyway... when we were talking, he got me going to meetings (we live in diff places) and a nice pioneer lady took me under her wing.
i gave his email addy to the lady and they correspond.
so, me and the dub had a falling out when i told him all of the issues i had with the wts.

"Satan does his best"
by megs inokayyy... even when i believed in god, i never believed that "satan" was going around influencing us lowly humans... i mean, what's the point?
humans are well able to mess up on our own, without the hand of satan.
conversely, we are able to do good things on our own, without the hand of god.

Ban The Internet
by megs inthe thought occurred to me that if post-secondary education is to be avoided, why would the wts not make a similar stance about the internet?
all dubs in good standing should burn their books and their computers... really, the internet has great propensity to open people's minds and expose them to different ideas and viewpoints.
in itself it doesn't promote critical thinking, but it certainly offers fodder for thought and expression.

The Number 7
by megs inowing to the abundant chatter about the "great tribulation" i started googling some things... anyway, there is a christian forum devoted to "end times chat", the current buzz is as follows:.
the dow today is down 777. the bail-out is 700 billion.
today at sunset was the beginning of the 7 year sabbatical cycle.. "7" is the number for completion and extremely significant throughout scripture.. it truly makes you wonder!!.
