Who Here Believes in God?
by The_Bad_Seed inpersonally, i do not believe god ever has or ever will exist.
i have my reasons -- i guess i could be considered an agnostic, rather than an athiest.
i was curious to see what the larger part of the former borg community believed, now looking from the outside in, rather than the opposite.

Are Born Agains qualified to help JW's?
by sleepy in.
are born agains qualified to help jw's?.
i don't think so.sorry if you are one i have nothing against you personnally, nor jw's come to think of it, but offering your version of truth to jw's is for them to jump out of the frying pan into the fire.. the bible is the root of jw problems , and following that book in which ever way you wish will always be in error..

Sounds better. Now someone tell COMF how to spell it ("Foxy"; not "Foxey").
Nite.

First and the Last of Rev 1:17 - why in caps?
by Trotafox inreferring to the excellent "kitchen" witness scene in gregbetre's thread regarding jw's denying the deity of the christ, i do have one question..... .
rev 1:8; 17-18; 22:13 states that jesus christ is the alpha and the omega, the first and the last, and the beginning and the end.
i don't think it is true that all jw's will say that rev 1:17 refers to jehovah.

Still hammering this? Sorry I brought it up. All I wanted to know was why the WT chose to capitalize the First and the Last of Rev 1:17 when no one else does, including them in all other "first and last" scriptures.
COMF says:
Okay, I give up. How does a concept that doesn't make rational sense help you better understand anything?
I'm a female.
Nitey, nite.

Ah-H-a-a-h.....Caught you. You just HAD to take a quick look didn't ya before going to bed. Me, too.
Yes, it was so nice to meet you, Ven. You have been through a lot (and I thought I had it rough...oh, please). What an encouragement you are. We'll have to do it again.
I guess I would have picked a better screen name also if I had known I'd be kind of stuck with it forever. I mean really.....Trot? Sounds like I'm a hooker or something.
Nite,

Undecided and Cygnus: All are the same and yet different. All are holy. I have no problem when I accept it with my heart by faith. I have a problem if I try to rationalize it. Picture a hula hoop. Put three hula hoops on. As they spin, all three are the same kind of hula hoop and yet they move separately in different directions in different ways at the same time. The Trinity is not a doctrine mentioned in the Bible but it is a concept that has been conceived to better undertand the relationship of God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit so our pea brains can better understand the nature of God. The ransom sacrifice was God's gift given to us out of love. The Trinity doctrine in no way invalidates that ransom.
Dakota (Lew): Don't get hung up on it. I found out after I left the JW's that if I didn't bother trying to rationalize it and just accepted it for the moment, I understood the scriptures a lot better. Don't let it get in the way. Not everything can be easily explained but it doesn't mean we shouldn't believe it. I know that sounds like pretty dangerous "easy to get sucked up in" thinking but I'm much more comfortable and less fearful with mainstream religion these days after getting sidetracked by the JW cult. I wasn't going to let the Trinity doctrine get in the way. I did the first time and it let me get sucked up by a dangerous cult that I thought had the right understanding of it. WRONG.
Willy: Actually, if the JW's would just compare all those scriptures relating to the "first and the last" in their own NWT, it would stick out like a sore thumb. However, most only study the scriptures that are given to them to study as they read the mag. And I bet Rev 1:17-18 wouldn't be mentioned in the same article as the rest "first and the last" scriptures because it may cause a JW to make an comparison raising a question about the deity of Christ. I'll never forget my last phone conversation with by best friend JW: "The reason you have doubts is that you haven't had the opportunity to study [get brainwashed] like I have". Oh, please. Parroted entirely from the latest mag at the time. She couldn't even formulate a thought on her own without repeating WT rhetoric as if it was her own opinion. She no longer HAS an opinion....on anything...that hasn't come straight from the organization.
I'm tired. Goin' to beg. \
Night.
