The Holy Spirit-"God's Active Force"?!
by Chalam inanother central difference in the beliefs of jws and most christians.
the wt teaches that the holy spirit is "god's active force" and certainly not a person or part of the trinity (which they say doesn't exist).
as the holy spirit is fundamental to understanding godly things (including the whole of the bible) then we should really have an understanding about god's spirit if we want to understand the bible.

My friend's question about 1914
by hungry4life inthe friend that i spoke of earlier has many questions about scriptural misaplications used by the wts.
she is still a witness but is searching diligently for the true truth.
i have simpler reasons for not wanting anything to do with the borg, and have to be honest in saying i have not done alot of research on the topics she is interested in.

Babylon the Great
by Listener inthe org teaches that babylon the great is the world empire of false religion (although it once confined it the the catholic church) but i find it difficult that there will be a collapse of religion although people's attitude towards religion has changed greatly, particularly muslim.
babylon means confusion.. the recent global financial crisis has got me thinking that this is quite significant and a collapse of our financial stucture will certainly cause a great deal of hardship for both governments and individuals.
it would change every part of our every day life, particularly in the western world.

Has anyone read Ronald Weinland's Book: 2008 God's Final Witness?
by tsar_robles inhttp://the-end.com/2008godsfinalwitness/2008_gods_final_witness.pdf.
one thing that he mentions in this book (page 76 par.
1) is the belief that the 144k and the great multitude are the same; meaning john is first given a number and then he's given a visual.... pretty much the same conclusion that my wife and i reached on our own and that we later confirmed with one of leolaia's research topics regarding the 144k.

Jehovah's Witnesses One Mans Obsession
by Homerovah the Almighty ini always think its interesting to examine the history of religious beliefs and certainly the jws takes the most of my interest since its rooted in my own immediate family.
to date there are 7 million or so jws worldwide and could be considered a success from the stand point that it all originated and evolved from one man's obsession.
the man that i'm speaking of course is none other than charles taze russell an inspiring individual who was aggressively motivated to cut him out a piece of the religious pie.
