Herbert W. Armstrong - memories
by Jim_TX inan ad that appears when viewing certain pages on the jwd web site refer to herbert w. armstrong - and his religion.. i remember this fella... not personally - but through the radio - and his preaching that he used to do on the air.. i remember tuning in a radio station - far far away (when i was a kid) - in del rio, tx (or perhaps across the border in mexico - xerf?).
he would get air time, and then preach - for what seemed like hours - although, i'm sure that it was only a 30 minute spot - or perhaps an hour-long spot of air-time.. i even seem to remember telling my mom at the time how much he sounded like jehovah's witnesses - in what he was preaching about.. i also remember my mom defending the jws - saying - essentially - that herbert armstrong was a kook.
armstrong had his own set of literature... i really think that he was a 'subscriber' to jw literature... and probably stole many ideas from the watchtowers... or other publications that he could get his hands on.. or... perhaps it's the other way... perhaps the jws 'borrowed' from his literature.. in any case... it brings back memories.. regards,.

Is the Bible Just B.S.?
by shamus indo you think that god enjoys killing people?
it sure sounds like it to me; jw doctrine more or less scared me into thinking that god is going to kill all persons whom he/she thinks is not doing his will.
my question is, how can god kill someone for not being "christian", or following the bible out of sheer ignorance?

by Shadow1 inmy wife and i have been married for just over one year.
while we were just dating, she had told me that she used to belong to the jehovah's witnesses, but no longer had those beliefs.

If Adam did not sin, would humans have lived forever on earth?
by jwfacts inthe new testament talks consistently of a heavenly hope, not an earthly one and the idea that humans are to live forever on earth is not supported scripturally at all.. however, what would have happened if adam and eve had not sinned.
the watchtower likes to make the point that it is only sin that caused adam and eve to die.
romans 5:12 that is why, just as through one man sin entered into the world and death through sin, and thus death spread to all men because they had all sinned.. what do christians believe regarding this scripture?
