  For those who still believe that Christianity is the only truth

  by sosoconfused in

  please help me to understand how you address this.. from the creation of adam to the birth of noah was about 900 to 1000 years.

  during this period literally only a handful of people worshipped the true god.

  then came the flood - at which point there were only 8 faithful people the world over.. .

  The thinking hurts sooo much... a friend of mine who is of Korean descent asked me why I would possibly believe that in just 5 or 6 thousand years one guys family could produce 7 billion people so fast? I was like man... anything is possible with GOD. But when you try to do the Math and realize its kind of hard to fathom what that must have been like it really brings you back to reality

  Here's a population calculator: http://www.metamorphosisalpha.com/ias/population.php

  (check the Show Subtotals box and it shows you the population for each year also)

  If you start with a population of two people and set it at 6000 years with a growth rate of 0.012, it says the population will be:

  Population in 6000 = 2,392,899,758,362,400,000,000,000,000,000

  You Can Doubt The Bible, But Don't You Dare Doubt The bOrg

  by Comatose in

  it's interesting how with believing friends and family you can openly doubt the bible.

  you can doubt the flood and talk about it.

  you can doubt the old testament.

  Really? When I was in, I didn't know anybody who would dare question the bible either.

  You can bring up questions like, "I don't get it, how could Noah have fit all the animals on the ark?"

  Or "The sun standing still for Joshua doesn't make sense. What, did the earth stop turning for a whole day?"

  You can ask questions like this without being suspected of apostasy, but if you bring up any doubts or questions about the governing body being God's one true channel on earth, you will raise red flags and be a target of suspicion for apostasy.

  If you really want to follow in Jesus' footsteps just imitate what he did. He knew right from wrong. He didn't need any other humans to tell him how to live, what choices to make, even though they claimed to be God's chosen group on earth. He lived his life the way he knew to be right, and so can you.

  Forum plans and policy

  by Simon in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  in case anyone is wondering about our registration policy:.

  i don't intend to turn people away who want to register and post or make ultra-strict registration procedures because i honestly don't think that they work.

  if i were to ask for names of congregations or presiding overseers then i have no real way of checking if they are correct.

  2. friends

  special assembly day (sad) bethel speaker ( a very good speaker i might add) in his talk " follow your spirit-directed conscience gave example of and elder and his family.

  he noticed his wife and daughter spending a lot of time morning noon and night on facebook, it almost seemed like that is all they did, so as a spiritual head decided to see what they were constantly looking at, "let me see what you are spending so much time looking at on facebook said the elder".

  the wife explained this is how we keep in contact with the "friends", elder started to look at her page and she was correct, there he found friends in the cong.

  God these men are retards once in the 80s we had a local needs talk on cuting men's hair to short on the sides while the top was long. Honestly even at 11 at the time it got me thinking how that religion was nonsense. How can adults bye into that stupid sh$$.

  In the 90's we had a local needs talk on the color of dress shirts. Only white shirts and pastels were acceptable. Too many young brothers were wearing dark shirts such as purple and green under their suits. And anyone who wanted to "reach out" and serve in the congregation such as carry the mics, etc. would not be allowed to wear any shirts other than white or a light pastel color. If a brother was caught wearing a dark shirt, his priveledges would be removed.

  All Things Fulffilled In The1st Century

  by maccauk11 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  all things were fulfilled in the 1st century.it was obvious the messiah was talking to the people in that generation not a generation 2000 years later.. christianity has for 2000 years placed itself in the shoes of those 1st century beleivers and think all things pertainott hem today.when infact none of it does.

  the prohecise of the messiah cmae true in the 1st century including revelation which is symbolic, metaphorical apocolyptic language showing all tha thad been done .

  the kingdom is here.the king rules and has done for 2000 years.

  So then when was Satan thrown into the abyss? When was he let loose? Is the 1000 year reign of Christ over?
