To the theists: Your reaction if God hypothetically changed the standards of right and wrong
by simon17 ini have more to say on this and its implications, but i'll keep this short to get some initial discussion.
to those that believe in god, suppose he were to hypothetically change various standards of right and wrong, suppose with the new scrolls to be opened.
things such as rape, theft and immorality are now perfectly fine and acceptable.

Just one simple question to ask Jehovah's Witnesses about the recent earthquakes.
by nicolaou in"is jehovah causing these earthquakes?".
whether or not jesus said that earthquakes would 'increase', jehovah's witnesses assert that earthquakes are a sign of the 'time of the end'.
the recent cluster of awful earthquakes has only increased that sense of expectancy.. does this mean that jehovah is responsible for these earthquakes?

The Soul
by free2beme inso we were all taught basically this thought.
the soul is our life, not seperate and not something that moves on when we die, right?
yet, for those who die and get ressurected, jehovah remembers them and makes them come to life with their memories, personalities, appearance and so on, right?

Why JW's Continue to Survive
by Poztate insome may fall away or slink off to something new, but when your worldview is apocalyptic in nature, a failed doomsday doesnt leave you easily shaken, he says.. instead, what religious people generally do, he says, is write off the end-that-wasnt as an interpretation hiccup.
with deeper study and prayer, theyll be lucky enough to find another doomsday around the corner.. although this comment was not directed at jw's but apocalyptic religions in general it really does fit their world viewpoint perfectly..

The Most Important Witness Meeting Is...
by metatron inthe theocratic ministry school..... well, let's see ... it's conducted by an elder who's stuck with the job and often doesn't want it.
the quality of the meeting keeps sinking over time as witlesses can't read well or explain more than a couple proof texts.
the "ministry" doesn't generate converts by itself, anyway..... the book study?

Cast Away(Tom Hanks) and resurection
by frigginconfused inin cast away with tom hanks he gets stranded on a deserted island after a plane crash.
he is gone 4 years so his wife thinks hes dead and remarries and has a kid.. he gets rescued and comes back to find his wife is remarried.. sounds very similar to getting ressurected and finding your wife has a whole new familly.. but the ressurected will be as angels not marrying or having children.
i still dont get this.

Young people, you can die if you do not progress in the truth and become baptized.
by garyneal inthis is what the guest speaker was saying at my wife's hall yesterday.
she and i was babysitting our niece and since she had three kids going to the hall with her (including my two daughters) i figured i'd go with her to help out.
they were rambuctious and wild to say the least.. while i was in the hallway with my youngest daughter, i continued to listen to the speaker talk.
