Question about 2 Tim. 3:16
by beenthere2 inregarding 2 tim.
3:16, "all scripture is inspired by god".....since the only scripture at the time this was written was the old testament (hebrew scriptures, if you prefer), would it make sense to reason that this scripture cannot be used by itself to support new testament writings?....that the scriptures referred to in this verse were the old testament?.
as an apostle paul had authority, but to me it seems that some of the things paul wrote were related as "commands" to the congregations, whereas other things were only his suggestions or his perspective and that it was up to the individuals to decide for themselves.. your thoughts on this?.

To clarify my earlier post; just before I started school mum & dad took me down town to see what I would do with a small amount of money. There were a fish shop, an ice cream/lolly shop, a shop with a new fangled donut machine; dad loved these and a cafe with a new fangled juke box thingy. The rockers/bikies hangout.
We walked up and down a few times. Dad said"Well son, what do you want to buy" "I want to buy music dad" said I. "You'll have to go and do it youself. You'll have nothing to eat or drink and I wouldn't be game to go in there but if that's what you want here you" and gave me the money.
In I went, up to the jukebox; not a clue as to what to do. A woman came up,"You right darl, wanna play some music". "yes please"
To cut a long story short, she took my money, played some music, bought me my first ever coke and we went outside where her man was talkin to my parents. I cashed in the bottle and bough mum a chocolate.
My point is, is that that night even though I was with my parents, I knew I had found a part of myself.
Rock 'n' roll & Motorcycles were in my living soul, I felt at ease and at home with these people.

Personally 2 Timothy ch3v 1-9 describes JWs specifically
v10-17 tells me what to expect from life following Christ, how and from where to obtain knowledge
A chapter is a whole, singular scripture is meaningless

In Love with a JW but he dumped me
by Ranavalona inso i just broke up with my jw boyfriend of over two years, nearly three.

I think God is trying to tell me something
by EntirelyPossible inin the past month, i've two very powerful experiences that make me think god might be trying to tell me something.
let me relate these experiences.. about a month ago, i was looking for something missing from my life, i felt empty.
i went in search of something to fill the emptiness and suddenly found myself face to face with jw's in service and immediately after i no longer felt empty and i found what i was searching for.

GUNS, SEX, JWs...... pick the two that make you happiest and fulfilled; disregard the other.
I think that's what God is trying to tell you.

IS GOD REAL? HOW DO YOU KNOW?
by still thinking inthis is an honest question on my part.
someone on this board asked me 'how do you know' a while ago and i really struggled with it.
in fact, it was a turning point for me.

By the way my god SHE say hi........
I don't believe in patriarchal, paternalistic clap trap..... neither did the Macedonians. Theirs was matriarchal, maternalistic.

Never been in, my mum & dad thought it was BS when I was little
Married two who weren't then were, not happy Jan.
Just couldn't reconile the celebrations and secular friends thing to their satisfaction. It was their way or the highway.

what do you call yourself?
by bigmac inthe question is directed at those members who still attend the meetings--to whatever extent--to make life easier.
those who perhaps still associate to keep the peace in their family.etc.-----but dont believe it any more.. what do you call yourself--a jehovah's wtness?
what religion (if any) do you write in that box if a form asks you?.

I identify myself as a HEATHEN, i.e. someone who does not follow established religions.
I'm not as bold as the Corinthians to identify as Christian, I'll let Immanuel decide that.
