  just another religion

  by teejay in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  patriotism is a religion just like every other religion.

  either you believie it and live it or you don't.. i see people waving the flag at sporting events, hear them mouthing the words, "we're all one nation, blah, blah, blah" but then they go out and flip one another off in the parking lot.

  just like people at the kingdom hall who supposedly love jehovah (or jesus or allah) and after the meeting is over, they go right back to the way they were.. love of country is no more influential than love of god.

  'Lost' redux

  by Rex B13 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  being lost...is of course, the usual state of things here.

  what's surprising is that they (the lost) think that pulling scriptures out of context, isolating mosaic laws mean't for one purpose and one time, is somehow refuting scripture.. they like to ignore the fact that jesus is the revealed yahweh and he sets the mark, not any organisation nor any pious individual.

  we relate scripture to him and we interpret scripture by his life amongst mankind.

  What about US terrorist groups?

  by tdogg in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  all of these speeches and tv specials with their analysts and experts but not once have i heard any mention of us terrorist groups.

  we are trying to attack the outside world and those who harbor terrorism but i ask: what is the difference between armed men in training camps training to kill with hateful prejudice in say, sudan and the same camps we harbor in say, idaho?

  yes, these places are for real and these people are only waiting for an opportunity to use their skills and weapons for their hateful fancies.

  Anthrax, Vaginas and Cropdusters

  by Tallyman in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i know, what a weird title for a thread.. over a year ago, i read in some news media of speculation in the .

  intelligence community that terrorists were in the beginning stages.

  of launching a biological-terrorist attack in the u.s.. in the article was the belief that muslim (islamic fanatic) women arriving by airflights into the u.s., were the smugglers of genetically-engineered/modified anthrax bacteria cultures, by concealing these cultures in some form of protective casings, within their vaginas.... much the same way some drug smugglers bring in heroin or cocaine into the country by putting it in condoms and cramming these into whatever body orifice they can.. then these women would deliver the goods to 'underground' laboratories in the u.s. (could be someone's kitchen or basement) for growing these cultures of biological strains into enough of a quantity of bacteria to release in an attack.... and then 9/11 came.. and then this article appears in the media:.

  God's image

  by Rex B13 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  we are made in god's image and he is a person, not just some invisible, omnipresent force.

  here is some more research for those who love to ask questions yet won't do the digging.. the bible consistently portrays god as a passionate individual, whose inner experiences of love, compassion, grief, delight, joy, peace, anguish, and moral outrage at atrocity dwarf ours in the extreme.

  the bible makes no apology for this, but rather exults in the living one, in contrast to the dead and lifeless idols that surrounded its writers.. one scholar put it thus:.

  Jay Dubs right about 1914

  by FrightMare in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  please study this chart very, very carefully: http://www.sru.edu/depts/artsci/ges/d-3-2.htm.

  why has such an unprecedented boom in population and technology occurred during the specific time the bible points to the 'last days', 1914?

  WTS involvement with politics/UN exaggerated?

  by troubled in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i've seen the threads on the wts' involvement with cesnur, swaggert, and the un.

  since then, i've done additional research on the internet, including accessing the un's webiste and searching for "watchtower" and "jehovah's witnesses.

  " and i am concerned that many of the posts on this website grossly overexaggerate the degree of the wts's involvement and its purpose.. in my internet research, the only connection i have seen between the wts and cesnur or the un is in situations on the world scene threaten their right to religious freedom.

  Questions="dishonest baiting"?

  by Julie in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  three little scriptures that i feel reflect the opposite of all that christians claim biblegod to be.

  i merely asked a hard-core defender of the faith to justify these as actions of an all-loving, enlightened supreme being.

  here they are along with the "explanations" of them (in a nutshell):.
