and they recognized the ambulance person who came to their aid to be a disfellowshipped, ex jw, would the injured JW be required to turn down their assistance, since they're not to associate in any way with disfellowshipped people?

consider this. any class you've ever taken, before you were sent out to take care of a homework assignment, the teacher usually acquainted you with the material by giving you sample questions or problems. this is to aid you in thinking of the proper way to answer or solve them. it wouldn't necessarily be fair for a teacher to just give you an assignment without any preparation. yet in the bible we're taught that we were given jesus as the perfect example by which to live our lives. keep in mind, this is some 4000 years after man had already been around, biblically speaking of course. wouldn't you say this is somewhat poor planning on god's part if he did indeed want us to be christ-like? shouldn't he have sent jesus much earlier, like maybe before adam and eve, so they would have a better example to live by? your thoughts?

in my experience the bible cannot contain EVERY word of God. and in fact Every christian is trained and indoctrinated to believe nothing of anything that exists outside of the bible.

I have had 2 abortions in my lifetime and i sometimes wonder if there is a biblical scripture that says if the aborted fetuses go back to heaven into Gods hands. I am just sitting thinking about what i did and feeling somewhat regretful.

it says in the bible that jesus will come again to judge the living and the dead? does this mean that he will judge everyone that has ever die? if so, will he be judging people differently who lived pre-new testament days than those who lived after jesus' birth?

I posted this question yesterday, but it got deleted before I could read it fully. So, I am asking you this question again.

I believe that because of group effort by gays and lesbians, these days homosexuality is slowly becoming more and more accepted in society. However there are, in reality, gays who are lonely & do not have anyone to stand up for them (living in a predominantly heterosexual society where only he/she is gay) - how will they handle such a situation?

I have recently talked to some high school girls and only one out of the twelve was a virgin. I want to know what has happened with morals these days, I get along well with them and they are cool, but I just don't understand why sex has to enter the picture BEFORE marriage.
One good thing I think that would come of this is that STDs would (eventually) go away- at least in the US where there is more control than third world countries.

the one that will send you straight to hell?

What I want to say is that there are some preachers that makes you scare to death! like if he was an angry man is only looking at your failures to punish you. I agree that we have to fear him (in order to follow his commandments and respect him as he is to be respected) but not in a so scary way. People should teach/preach about God in a peaceful tone, lovely speaking, encouraging people to go to him! Not with the purpose of making you feel that you are lost or something. He is love, nothing to fear about, he will always be there for all of us and he loves us because we are his children and we are given rules to follow that we all as sinners that we are sometimes do not follow as well as it is supposed to be.... he knows that we are not perfect and we have the opportunity to repent as long as we do it truly from heart and with humility and never is too late.

Do you agree that God shouldn't be preached in a meanful / scary way?

Why would God give you so many religions to choose from, having only 1 be right? That's like being put in a room, with hundreds of doors, having to choose one, but only one leads to heaven. I pray a lot, and thank God for everything, practically everyday, and some people say that's not good enough. Does anyone agree??

Another thing I'm wondering...most of the Christians I have met have been rude, stuck up, and think that just because they are Christians means they can do whatever they want, and still go to heaven. My friend, who was totally normal and nice just started going to church a couple of days ago, and now is going around saying "The only way to go to heaven is by being saved; by accepting Jesus as your savior" with such certainty, it scares me. Why do they think this? how do you ACTUALLY become 'saved'? I mean, does this make ANYence?? does anyone else not get this????

This an answer by one person called Sahar for a question Did Prophet knew about India
Narrated Thuban: Prophet Mohammad (peace and blessing of Allah be upon him) has said: Hell fire will not touch the one who fight against India and the one (who fight against Anti-Christ) in companionship with Jesus Christ (peace be upon him) (Masnad Shamin-1851, Ahmad-642, Nisai-426, Abu Uruba AlHarani-2102, Bukhari Tarikh AlKabir-726, Ibne Adi-5832, Ibne Asakar-110015).
And a similar hadith narrated in Sunnan Nisai AlKubra-4382 and Masnad Ahmad Bin Hanbal-7128. Narrated Abu Huraira: Apostle of Allah informed for fighting against India and I will be present (on the occasion) I will join it myself and with my property, if I will be killed I will be among high grade martyrs and I will return (living) I will be called free Abu Huraira.

If the above mentioned is correct (I think it is because no Muslim has condemned it) then How the Muslims can ever make India as their Home?
