Does the Bible have a built in fail safe system?
by logansrun ini've come to the conclusion that the bible has it's own built-in fail safe system; that is, incorporated into the text are scriptures which corners one into a position where it is impossible to believe otherwise.
scriptures that warn against "apostasy", "independent thinking" and the like are used all the time by the society to show how correct they are in their advice.
for example, they will state that the bible warns against independent thinking and, lo and behold, people that do independent thinking leave the "truth", often christianity all together.

by logansrun inreading the march 2003 okm brought up a question i've had for a long time....why do christians feel the the death of jesus was this unbelievably loving act by both god and christ?
i mean, god knew his son would be faithful to death (because of prophecy...not much of a test on j.c.

Question on old earth creationism...
by logansrun inis it just me, or are all old earth creationists (besides jws) also of the opinion that the noachian flood was local?
my reason for saying this is that the jws pat themselves on the back for being old earthers (oh yeah, their not creaionists!
lol) but then use patently young earth creationist flood models.

Karl Klein's life experience......WTF?
by logansrun infrom the oct. 1, 1984 watchtower page 28:.
"it may be added that i am thankful to jehovah that when i was spiritually weak the opportunity for yielding to temptation did not lie close at hand and that when it did i was spiritually strong enough not to yield.
in other words, the inclination toward wrongdoing and the opportunity for it never coincided, for jehovah knew that at heart i really wanted to keep doing the right thing.

Are ALL criticisms of the Society justified?
by logansrun inlet me start by saying that i deplore much of the teachings of the watchtower and am convinced that it is not "the truth.
" either through ignorance, error or deliberate action they have caused great heartache for thousands and unknown heartache for millions.
i have thoroughly disconnected myself from their teachings and would rightly speak out against what i know to be harmful in that organization.

What to do when your family DOESN'T shun you...
by logansrun inall right, i'm not dfd or dad; i just "walked away.
" all my friends, save one, completely ignore me and basically shun me (the word on the street is i'm an apostate :) ).
but my family, all hard-core jws except my more liberal mother, is causing some unsettling feelings.

Okay...what does a "walk away" do abo...
by logansrun inrelated to my thread about talking to jw family members who refuse to shun you lol..... i'm a "walk away", no judicial action taken against me.
as it stands, i would like to keep it that way to be able to have a cordial relationship with some family (and perhaps a couple friends).
so here's a problem: at my former kh there sits in a drawer a document that could really screw me if i am in a life threatening situation.
