World, almost 1000 conferences a year all over the world, but other religions only have yearly conferences, attended only by select few members from each church, and generally, only in the U.S.?

As a cab driver, I frequently transport passengers in town for religious conferences. The cab drivers hate it when JWs are in town because they don't go out to the night clubs/bars, or shopping in the upscale clothing areas, like the other religions. I hear the same stories on the cab driver network, from other cities around the world. Some tourism groups have tried to get places like Kemper arena in KCMO, to stop renting space for the JW conferences, because they don't contribute to tourism.

Do the other religions not want all their members to attend religious conferences? Wouldn't it benefit them for their members to meet other members, from all over the region, and world. on a yearly basis?

Matthew 16:25-For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it.

Do you feel you have more to gain with Christ or without Christ?Why or Why not?

For me it's obvious I have more to gain with Christ.

steady escalation of war & weaponry for 1000s of years, from fists to 60x kill-everything capability

pay/hour from 1000th to million times average, causing extreme violence, hate, disturbance, misery, danger

topsoil all gone in 100 years [see encyclopedia of gaia]

unlimited fortunes giving unlimited power to foment wars for profit & use millions of people as cannonfodder

when justice would give peace & plenty [US$75,000 per family working average hard]

1% getting 90% of world income, ie US$70,000,000,000,000 [trillion] a year, ie US$70,000 for every family in the world, while doing 1% of the work

could we be governing ourselves with less success, with less awareness, with more destructiveness? no

why isnt it in the media? because it wouldnt sell well, people think they can afford the luxury of being unreal

for every action there is reaction, for every cause there is effect. Slavery has had its effect, even still. physically, mentally, and finacially.....are we so ignorant, to think that white america did not get a boost and or profit from the backs of slaves. Do you think the money that you inheirited was not or is not tied back to the blood sweat and tears of black folk? i really want a serious answer to the please......

i know that you are caring loving people, (and very heporitacal)
but you are trying to save the world and that is very kind ans selfless of you, and on behalf of every one that has not, i thank you but you must learn if we say no dont push it on us because all you will do is push us farther away from christ.
just be there when we are ready to come to christ dont bring him to us. and once agaiun thank you for being nice, good people :)

John 10 "Jesus saith, the good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep."

it was prophecied in Isaiah 52:13-53:12 He will be exaulted. He will first be marred more than any man. All we like sheep have gone astray and the Lord will make to light on him the iniquity of us all."

And he comes to give us as the Psalm 23 shepherd- life more abundantly-John 10 what does that mean to you-have you let him become your personal shepherd yet-that makes a difference-what does John 10 mean to you??

I previously asked this question, but I accidentally put it up for voting, so I'm asking it again

I really want to reach out to the deaf community. Do any of you have any ideas on how I can really make an impact? I dont just want to help out at a deaf school, but I want to make an IMPACT. I live near the American School for the Deaf in CT.

Additional details:

In response to the long answer, I recently met a deaf person, a son of someone who works with my mom, and he's around my age. I don't know why, but talking with him, with his mom as a translator, and seeing how happy he was (I didn't expect a deaf perosn to still be so happy in life) just made me want to do something. That's why I want to do something. And what I had in mind was making a difference in deaf peoples' lives. I obviously am not going to find a cure for deafness soon, but maybe helping them out in some way. That's why I asked this question, I wanted to know if anyone had any ideas on how to help them out.

I mean, what would be eviler than having a world full of people believing they will go to Heaven by doing good deeds and believing in God, but instead, these people go to Hell for being good? And the bad ones live eternity well?

do not follow the doctrine of christianity yet claim they are of that faith? Such as those who believe in reincarnation yet claim to be christian which does not support that. Or LDS and others who have a different doctrine yet insist they are christian.

Jesus always referred to himself as having been sent by God (John 17:3) and his followers, too, considered him a man approved BY God (Qur'an 19:37; Acts 2:22, John 3:2).
Jesus prayed to God like all other God-fearing individuals (Luke 5:16), and engaged in spiritual exercises such as fasting (Matt 4:2).
Furthermore, Jesus lacked knowledge of the future (Mark 13:32), as only the Divine Being possesses perfect and complete knowledge.
"And he (Jesus) went a little further, and fell on his face, and prayed..."-(MATTHEW 26:39).

This one puzzles me most. If Christianity agree that Jesus is setting examples on how to pray then why Christians not follow it?

And, behold, one came and said unto him (Jesus), "Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?" And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? There is NONE good but One, that is God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the Commandments.-(MATTHEW 19:16- 1
