Indeed a very sad and misguided doctrine. Sadly enough people want this rule of men (1 Kings 10:19...) It happens many places sadly but very few other than jw have it as a dogma

Flood over everest

by road to nowhere in

meeting part comment on how the flood covered everest.

that is even more ignorant than mountains being pushed up and eroding in a few thousand years.

and it wasnt cold either.. i should have commented on the bristlecone in the awake that survived the flood.

I remember from the metal music days this typical take on a flood divine myth though odinist essentially capturing the message of faith:

Will God resurrect our beloved pets? What do you think?

by Pallbearer in

the watchtower doesn't hold out any hope for us ever seeing our beloved animals again.

i find it very difficult to believe that god -- a god of love -- would refuse to resurrect an animal that we had become so attached to.

over the years i have bonded with no less than four (4) dogs, all of which were/are like family to me.

Nothing in the Bible says we will have pets in heaven to my knowledge. Jesus did not die for them om individual basis. But remember we love pets because they reveal comfort and love to us, they are at best blessings to us. We will experience those things perfectly in heaven.

Well of course the movie had a modern humanistic perspective on election and federal headship. Why save a few? Were there no good people outside? Personally if taken literally I would say how come all the fish were not punished lol. Still I like the gritty look in the old biblical stories. i imagine them more like Conan and Mad Max types than saints. Evil was in the land and God did some cleaning without erasing the ancestors of Adam.

Gwyneth Paltrows candles in the wind

by smiddy3 in

are you put off with gwyneth paltrow`s marketing of a brand of candles she advertises as "smelling like my vagina " ?.

she sure has gone down in my estimation as an actress and /or role model for young women if that what she was ever about in the first place .. how gross is that ?

and the interview i saw after this with her was one big joke ?

It is only natural when Christianity and restraint goes out of the window that people will be public with such stuff. The sexual organs have been turned into worship objects through time. They still have have such traditions in Japan.

If I was JW I would have said it is a sign of the endtimes

Providing salvation is not that important

by pixel in

the washtowel has a crazy obsession with diminishing the important of jesus' sacrifice for humankind.

i find this so antichristian.

i mean, how can you ignore scriptures like john 3:16?.

Sea Breeze,

Calvinism has some good points. It points out the Christian serves a Sovereign God in control and other stuff that offends the atheist humanist. But of course it does no justice to the fullness of the reconciliation the Sovereign God has in store for mankind
