  Did you ever buy into 1975?

  for those of you that can remember.... did you really believe that armageddon was going to come in 1975?

  i was a child of the 60s, in my teens in the 70s and can honestly say that i never bought into it.

  i saw brothers and sisters selling their homes and moving into rented property.

  2. beliefs

  i never realised there was such a thing as 'christian agnosticism' until recently.

  i've been wondering for a long time where my beliefs where at.

  i still believe in god and still believe in jesus but not sure exactly what else.

  don't know if someone else has posted about this but apparently mark sanderson was in brussells for the memorial, someone on fb with a public profile posted some pics and said he'd turned up in brussels, that a guy who had been sent to the bethel there had just got off the metro when the bomb went off.

  don't know how true it is but there was a few ooohs ahhhs .. how wonderfuls .... photo.

  Will the Borg ever do what the WCG did?

  2. beliefs

  whilst not endorsing any of the beliefs or doctrines of this group i found it really interesting that once herbert armstrong died it had a major overhaul of it's beliefs and practices (very similar in a cultish way to jws).

  apologising for it's errors and putting things right.

  it became less judgemental, more encompassing of other christian faiths.

  2. bible

  i don't go to many meetings now.

  i still feel the need to go every now and again for my husband's sake.

  i usually go on a sunday, maybe once a month or so and i look at the wt article under discussion to see if i can stomach it before i go, a lot of the time i feel i just can't do it.

  Buddhists and Jehovah's Witnesses

  by tornapart in

  2. beliefs

  recently i have just started looking into what buddhism is all about.

  i rather like the idea of a personal spirituality.

  of trying to be a better person and an acceptance of the reality of life and trying to find an inner peace and contentment.. anyway, i came across this today.
