And how about this one? More proof of God's love? Hey, it's a good thing hell doesn't exist, cause people suffer there. This looks like a good deal though, right?
right.
a terrible, unhappy picture?.
yes it is, but nevertheless biblical.

Uh, friday, is this you? Well, it was where you took the pic anyway...
I hope it isn't though... we might have some interesting comments.

I strongly, strongly doubt anyone will follow a religion that says the people they knew, with their beliefs, will be destroyed like in the image above.
"Oh, so what you're saying, is that i'll be saved, but all my friends will be crushed by cars, drowned, bombed, burned alive, etc. etc. etc. etc. etc.? Please, please tell me more!"
Yeaaah, right!

Posts like this make me love God for his compassion and love for the human race...
But seriously, why would God have to destroy people in such a horrible, tasteless way when he could just make 'em vanish? Because the only people who'll have remembered any of this will be the people who will... live forever on paradise earth, right? So what's the point? Scaring the survivors into following him? Is God really that tasteless?
(couldn't help but notice the name of the picture... from the 'enjoy life' brochure? Hah! How to enjoy life when you have images like this? Little kids, if this is true, will see and hear people screaming, blood splattering all over the place, eviscerations, making the movie Hannibal look like Bambi, and they're supposed to enjoy it? Praise the Lord, man. Praise the Lord.)
i was just wondering about some points in the bible... no, i'm not saying there's a contradiction, i'm trying to find a reasonable answer here.... anyone remember when those two kids started to insult... elijah i believe?
and then he called god on them and a bear killed not only them, but also hundreds more???
jeez.. okay, that's one thing.
I imagine his virgin daughters were very pleased to have such a loving father...
"Gee, thanks dad! See you after the massive rape! See you soon! Love ya lots"

Okay, that's one thing. But how about David? Didn't he rape and kill a woman's husband? And all he got as a punishment was his kid getting killed in Bath-Sheba's womb? Where's the logic in that??? The kid doesn't have anything to do with it... and the other kids who got mauled by the bear had no idea.
Anyone care to explain??? I'm puzzled...
aaaarrgh... i finally got the guts to tell my mom yesterday i wouldn't be attending any more meetings.
of course, i had my reasons all laid out (going to the meetings would be hypocrite of my part, etc.
) but, surprisingly, she didn't ask for any reason.
Okay, thanks for your ideas!
Although it pains me to say it, I think you're right. No, not in that sense! i guess I could go to my college to go on this board... and other "questionable sites"... It'll take some getting used to, since I go on this board everytime I have a chance here! Oh well... Life goes on...

Well, I work for my dad at a pretty low fee...I help him do some janitor work (don't laugh... it's pretty common in our cong.).
Darn....... I thought about it, and I can't see how this is a lack of respect. I mean, I still love my mom, as much as before, and I'm just trying to help myself, not put her down. Of course, this site is nevertheless the living proof that her years of pioneering were, well, not entirely worthy of her time. So I guess that could be an insult...

So anyway, she wanted to make a deal. If I wasn't going to meetings any longer, then I wouldn't be going to ... "those" sites as well. Any site that would show a lack of respect of her. Since she's paying a part of the connection. Not all, but some. And the computer is in her home... which she's paying a bit for...
So my dilemna is as follows:
1. Should I decide to not go any longer on www.jehovahs-witness.com because it would show a lack of respect for my mom?
or
2. Should I continue going on www.jehovahs-witness.com because it has no insulting meaning to my mom which is paying for the connection, and since I'm completely addicted to this site, which would probably mean I'd come back anyway...
Well, that's a doodle...
Can't wait for all those JW "friends" to come over inquiring about why I'm not coming to meetings... yeah right! As if! lol.
i didn't make these up, a jw sent them to me...... --noah: "raindrops keep falling on my head".
--adam and eve: "strangers in paradise".
--lazarus: "the second time around".
A JW sent these to you? LOL. Great sense of humor.
How about:
"I will survive" for Jesus Christ?
"First I was afraid...
I was crucified...
Kept thinking I could never live without God
By my side...
But then I spent so many nights
Praying your name would be glorified
I grew strong
I learned who the @#$%@ traitor was..."
And so on and so forth...
