I love MTV2, They also have a channel where they play 80's videos all day. Then you could also go to the music stores and get DVDs of your fav artist. But seeing how downloading is in full swing alot of music stores in my area have closed.

let it go

by ese in

forgiveness is for you often - not the forgiven - let it go and move on

Stefanie

There are some things i have done that I dont want forgivness for. And there have been some things done to me that I will not forgive PERIOD!

I dont care what the Bible says.

When I finally got the courage up to approach the elders about being partially molested by my father for about a year, and the fact that he had previously been an elder himself, I was given the cookie-cutter response of "Welp, no one there to see it". I was immediately read scriptures on FORGIVENESS. You know, ooops, my bad, how silly of me to not to embrace this situation and just LOVE.
Let it go? Oh, okay, No problem. Only the biggest betayal TWICE (once from father, next by elder/God) , throw some salt on the wound. I've been working on "letting it go" for 13 yrs.

I am sorry this happened. I believe "letting it go" is not an option in some cases. Yours being one of them.

No. I learned from the first two not to torture them that way.

Which Doctrine Convinced You That This Wasn't Right

by ignorance is strength in

what wt doctrine convinced or made you doubt your faith in the wtbts?

for me it was the 144,000 and the nature of christ's resurrection.

i seriously could not believe that there were two classes of christians when it was not stated implicitly in the bible, but was expected to be believed in as absolute truth.

Stefanie

The annionted thing.

DO YOU BELIEVE ARMAGEDDON WILL EVER COME?

by Mary in

jw
friends

sometimes i look at the world and i think "man, how much longer can it go on?

" sometimes i think perhaps armageddon will come in my life-time.

the one scripture i always think of is the one in revelation where it says that jehovah "will bring to ruin, those ruining the earth.

Stefanie

Thats cool you bought this up. Sometimes I worry that at the rate we polute the earth and its resources I fear something Is going to happen. Not a God destroying event, rather something we bring upon ourselves.
