  My daughter asked me this today.

  by thenoblelodge in

  2. bible

  she asked me why god didn't step in to stop tragedies.

  for example, recently twin baby girls were attacked in their cots while their parents were down stairs.

  both suffered life changing injuries.. my daughter knows a couple who have waited years for a baby and eventually had i.v.f.

  Do you believe the Bible?

  by Cagefighter in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i don't want to high jack african gb's thread but something got me thinking.... moses, abraham were inbred and hearing god's voice... paul never met jesus yet he is the only apostle coming down like a hammer of gays and has this "close bond" with timothy.

  then there is the issue of "horus" the egyptian god and is this where the story of jesus comes from.

  i have searched the internet for information on horus and have not had much luck finding anything authorative either way.. my question is do you or don't you believe in the bible and why or why not?

  Worldly Shunning

  by alice.in.wonderland in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i hear quite a bit of criticism about jehovah's witnesses enforcing 1 corinthians 5:9-13. while jehovah's witnesses have a formal system of maintaining the organization's core values; egocentric, self-worshiping secularists have an informal system of rejecting those of whom they have nothing in common with.

  http://www.objectivistcenter.org/cth-32-390-religion.aspx.

  most major religions have believed in the existence of a supernatural realm, a realm beyond the natural world of physical objects and bodies governed by causal laws, the world we perceive with our senses and can study by rational methods.

  How about this?

  by thraxer68 in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  so, this might be more for those of us who were strong in the jw faith and possibly anyone who was strong in any other faith lie lds for example.

  so we were all told that we need to believe, and be strong in that belief, and love what we believe, even to the point of death.

  so you work on that.

  2. experiences

  i just witnessed my mother and step father put the end to a friendship my 9 year old sister had with a "worldly" person.

  it was heartbreaking.

  this is someone she has been friends with for a few years and all of a sudden it's a problem now?

  Anyone Else Ever Experience This?

  by thraxer68 in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  so as you da'd, were df'd, faded, or just mentally let go of everything you believed for so long, did you experience this weird transition phase of an "identitylessness"?

  i think this might only apply to people who were "strong" in the faith.

  as a strong witness, im sure those of us who were really took to heart and mind the things that we learned and counsel that the society produced.

  Mormon vs JW experience

  by thraxer68 in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i was browsing some ex-mormon forums and i noticed that many of the experiences sound similar.

  people spoke about brain washing, viewing outsiders as being ignorant of the truth, im not sure if im allowed to copy and paste from other forums, if im not please let me know but here are a couple quotes from ex mormon forums:.

  "something i very strongly believe, is that even though everything has crumbled to the ground for me right now, i wouldn't change the fact that i left the church for anything.
