On respect for the belief of others. Sorry for the long post
by StarTrekAngel in
1. watchtower
2. bible
i am inclined to start this thread in response to some comments made in other threads.

i have been coming around these forum for quite some time now so whatever you find in here is not just related to something someone may have said this week.

it can go months back as well.. i have seen many who claim to respect the belief of others but when it comes down to applying it into practice, things take a whole different tune.

Your thoughts on Halloween , yes, no or maybe ?
by Finkelstein in

2. beliefs
well its that time again when the ghouls come out to play.

i personally think halloween is a bit irresponsible and inappropriate from a sociological perspective.. there's something about the intent of frightening young impressionable children minds with frightening objests.

and feeding them candy which most likely cause tooth decay and stomachs is irresponsible activity conducted by adults.

Living forever
by jws in
1. jw
2. friends
someone on facebook posted john 3:16 where it says people will live forever.. not that i believe it, but i just cannot imagine this.

this, to me, would be the true hell.. if i'm very lucky, i will live to be 100. at nearly half that, already some parts of life no longer hold much interest to me.

even tv shows.

hello and excuse my not perfect knowledge of english.

when i've started studying the bible when i was 13 one of the first subjects i was teached was about genesis.

the first two humans were supposedly perfect which by bible's means it meant that they couldn't die nor get ill. this meant that at least humans couldn't get diseases.
