12th Planet: What if......
by blackguard inwhat if.... the so-called tribulation means distress and is great only in the sense of duration, having ran uninterruptedly for nigh on 2000 years?.
what if....the so-called last days commenced at pentecost and has also been running uninterruptedly since?.
what if....the so-called signs of the last days are the very non-signs christ jesus warned not to be decieved by?.

Six million people mislead?
by ikhandi ini have done a little research since joining this board and honestly believe that jehovahs witnesses fit in the cult category.
however what i don't understand if this is not the so called true religion as most of you have expressed how do you figure six million were mislead into believing it is the only true religion?
i mean this is not like the heaven's gate cult or the infamous jonestown cult who had very little followers in comparison with jehovahs witnesses.

Just venting
by dsgal ini faded from the jws thirteen months ago and since then i have only been called on by two elderly pioneer "sisters" a couple of times.no loving shepherding calls from the elders,not even once.i always felt out of place at the kh because i didn't have any friends there.never once got invited to social gatherings the whole year i went there.what's with all the clique $hit?that's about as far from jesus' teachings as i've ever seen.now today out of the blue i have a message on my machine from one of the elder's mother.i didn't call her back.wonder what came over her to think of me anyway?oh well,you all might not understand my feelings but i feel better now that i sat down and typed it out.

My four year old just made me laugh!!!!!
by anti-absolutism ini just sat down at the puter and my four year old came in, sat down beside me, calmly picked up my new world translation bible and said, "daddy, what is this bible for?
" boy does that open up a great debate.
if she only knew the impact of her question...... i thought it was really cute.

Okay...just why is the "ransom" so gr...
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.
eh?

Doctrines
by Phil inall religions have doctrines.
these doctrines, without exception have been "invented " by man.so it does not matter which religion you choose, you are relying on what a man or group of men say or think what god wants.
various religions have different ways of indoctrinating a person into believing in what he says.
