It seems the pc really came into the hands of the common consumer after 1995. Before 1990 things were different in some ways. What are your thoughts on this?

If the WT Org. is a prophet of God, why has it made false prophecies?
1897 "Our Lord, the appointed King, is now present, since October 1874," Studies in the Scriptures, Vol. 4, page 621.
1899 "...the ‘battle of the great day of God Almighty' (Revelation 16:14), which will end in A.D. 1914 with the complete overthrow of earth's present rulership, is already commenced." The Time Is at Hand, page 101 (1908 edition).
1918 "Therefore we may confidently expect that 1925 will mark the return of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and the faithful prophets of old, particularly those named by the Apostle in Hebrews 11, to the condition of human perfection." Millions Now Living Will Never Die, page 89.
1922 "The date 1925 is even more distinctly indicated by the Scriptures than 1914." The Watchtower 9/1/22, page 262.
1923 "Our thought is, that 1925 is definitely settled by the Scriptures. As to Noah, the Christian now has much more upon which to base his faith than Noah had upon which to base his faith in a coming deluge." The Watchtower, page 106 4/1/23.
1925 "The year 1925 is here. With great expectation Christians have looked forward to this year. Many have confidently expected that all members of the body of Christ will be changed to heavenly glory during this year. This may be accomplished. It may not be. In his own due time God will accomplish his purposes concerning his people. Christians should not be so deeply concerned about what may transpire this year." The Watchtower, 1/1/25, page. 3.
1931 "There was a measure of disappointment on the part of Jehovah's faithful ones on earth concerning the years 1917, 1918, and 1925, which disappointment lasted for a time...and they also learned to quit fixing dates." Vindication, page 338.
1941 "Receiving the gift, the marching children clasped it to them, not a toy or plaything for idle pleasure, but the Lord's provided instrument for most effective work in the remaining months before Armageddon." The Watchtower, 9/15/41, page 288.
1968 "True, there have been those in times past who predicted an ‘end to the world', even announcing a specific date. Yet nothing happened. The ‘end' did not come. They were guilty of false prophesying. Why? What was missing?.. Missing from such people were God's truths and evidence that he was using and guiding them." Awake, 10/8/68.
1968 "Why are you looking forward to 1975?" The Watchtower, 8/15/68, page 494.

On judgement day the dead in Christ will rise, meaning the bodies will rise up out of the graves, but what if the body was cremated and the ashes scatered? There is no Body to rise up on judgement day.

OK< non-Christians, non-believers don't bother I don't even care what you have to say, I am a Christian and I believe.

how is it that God is all-knowing and would therefore know what would happen throughout all of humanity, and also created everyone to live exactly as he imagined it, and yet he gets mad when we sin. i dont get it.

I am a Christian , and Christis our Savior not God, dont pray to Jesus pray in his name to GOD. when jesus came he said the MOST important commandment was honor God. so to the Christians that dont accept the old testament, your missing out on what jesus felt was most important, and thats God. and I feel Christians have gotten more peaceful because of the loss of the old testament and I tell you that God dont want you having Idols thats why Muslims will be in hell

Okay: let's say,
we all have freedom of sexual preference,
meaning,
it's okay to be gay
and it's still okay to be straight.
so,
can we have freedom of religion,
meaning,
it's okay to not be Christian,
and,
it's still okay to be Christian?

i know what you're thinking, *some* (okay a lot of) Christians are intollerent of non-Christians, liberalists, gays, etc. but not all. but aren't some (but not all!) of the latter intollerent of the former? i hear a lot of people comparmentalize Christians together, as though we are all alike. Watch what you say before you say we are all alike. Because all atheists are not alike. or democrats, or gays...

any thoughts?

Dear Brothers and Sisters
Salam Alaikum
I was just curious to find out by other people's opinion that why Islam is one of the fastest growing religion? Why do more people choose to embrace Islam over Hinduims, Judiasim and other religions? I myself is convert into Islam but want to know other people's experience. What makes you convert into Islam?

Jesus entered Jerusalem and went to the temple. He looked around at everything, but since it was already late, he went out to Bethany with the Twelve. The next day as they were leaving Bethany, Jesus was hungry. Seeing in the distance a fig tree in leaf, he went to find out if it had any fruit. When he reached it, he found nothing but leaves, because it was not the season for figs. Then he said to the tree, "May no one ever eat fruit from you again." And his disciples heard him say it. On reaching Jerusalem, Jesus entered the temple area and began driving out those who were buying and selling there…

When evening came, they went out of the city. In the morning, as they went along, they saw the fig tree withered from the roots. Peter remembered and said to Jesus, "Rabbi, look! The fig tree you cursed has withered!"

"Have faith in God," Jesus answered. "I tell you the truth, if anyone says to this mountain, 'Go, throw yourself into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart but believes that what he says will happen, it will be done for him.

Necrophilia is not unknown in animals, with a number of confirmed observations. Kees Moeliker allegedly made one of these observations while he was sitting in his office at the Natuurmuseum Rotterdam, when he heard the distinctive thud of a bird hitting the glass facade of the building. Upon inspection, he discovered a drake mallard lying dead about two meters from the building. Next to the downed bird there was a second drake mallard standing close by. As he observed the odd couple, the living drake picked at the corpse of the dead one for a few minutes and then mounted the corpse and began copulating with it. The act of necrophilia lasted for about 75 minutes, in which time, according to Moeliker, the living drake took two short breaks before resuming with copulating behavior. Moeliker surmised that at the time of the collision with the window the two mallards were engaged in a common motif in duck behavior which is called rape flight. "When one died the other one just went for it and didn't get any negative feedback -- well, didn't get any feedback," according to Moeliker. This is the first recorded case of necrophilia in the mallard duck.

But why do people get insulted why I say it?

Mark 6:34
When Jesus landed and saw a large crowd, he had compassion on them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd. So he began teaching them many things.


Oh, and why not "sheep" symbols on cars instead of those fish?
Sheep would be 1000 times more appropriate... on many levels.

Ok. Here goes. Are people in the US just better than the rest of the world since the majority of Christians are in the US and the Christians are the only ones going to heaven? Is it something in our DNA that makes us so holy? Are we God's chosen people? There's got to be something the US that makes people see the light.

standing up for the right?

Yesterday a man in Montreal went into a school and starting gunning down people.
There had been warnings on the website he was registered at (vampirefreaks.com) he had made several disturbing statements about killing people in his blog, and had posted quite a few pictures of himself in different poses with guns.
When the signs were so obvious that he was going to do something, why was people afraid to stand up for the right, and report him?
people on the site could have reported him, the moderators , the people who use that site , people saw his blogs and saw his pictures and did nothing.
People on that site are not right in their heads.
Why is nt that site shut down? why are we so afraid to say wrong is wrong , in the name of freedom of speech?
Have we as a nation as a culture become so afraid to stand up for the right thing, incase it infringes on someones freedom of choice?
Well now people have lost their freedom too by being killed.
