  You’ve Got Mail! TM

  by ABibleStudent in

  2. beliefs

  dont you love getting emails from friends and relatives, even if it is a chain email?

  at least someone thought about you and cared enough to send you an email.

  if you were a new convert, active jw, a jw with doubts, or an ex-jw struggling to live without jw family/friends, how would you feel about receiving one of my friendly, innocent emails?

  My Father passed away during the night

  dad was a great man, great, despite the religion.

  he was powerful, tall and intelligent, yet humble and kind.

  he was an introvert, and a circuit overseer.

  Sorry for your loss Paul...but glad you had more opportunity to share with your Dad before he departed this life. He certainly sounds like a man of faith. Even if some of his faith was misplaced, God looks on the heart. And yes, I'm sure he was proud of you...but not nearly as proud as he will be in the resurrection. Keep up the good work.

  For those of you who love the bible, do you think its been a little overcomplicated?

  by TimothyT in

  this weekend i read the gospel according to matthew and john.. it felt lovely as i was simply learning about jesus and his teachings, which are incredibly easy to understand and which amount to what i feel is a fabulous guide to life.. but what about the old testament... is it just history?

  is it important?

  should a christian spend too much time reading it?

  God likes to keep us humble...for our own good. The more we learn from scripture, the more we realize we don't know and appreciate. Well, that's my take anyway. :o)

  Jesus is "The Truth"

  Jesus is "The Channel" or "The Way"

  Jesus is "Our Salvation"; there is no other name or organization under heaven, that we can or must go to for salvation, contrary to the teachings of the WTBTS.

  They are the only ones who think 7.5 million is an innumerable number = to the stars in the heavens and sands on the seashore.

  But they number them every year anyway...just to prove they are smarter than Jehovah.

  The Apostle Paul was resurrected in 1918 as the Bible says.

  Jesus rejected every other church in 1918.

  In April of 1919 Jesus Christ found a Faithful and Discreet Slave class publishing fine spiritual food to true believers and appointed these spirt-begotten believers over all His goods.

  The FDS class recognize the authority of certain anointed men in Brooklyn and agree with all of their treachings although they are never consulted to verify the ongoing changes.

  There are seven million Christians running around today without a spiritual birth, imputed righteousness, or a heavenly hope.

  Come to the WT Organization for salvation. You will be destroyed at Armageddon otherwise.
