Luke 10:25-28
On one occasion an expert in the law stood up to test Jesus. "Teacher," he asked, "what must I do to inherit eternal life?" "What is written in the Law?" he replied. "How do you read it?" He answered: " 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind'; and, 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' "You have answered correctly," Jesus replied. "Do this and you will live."

I am just reposting this as a means of more answers.
Saalam alaikum, Muslims and Muslimahs. I will be attending a Masjid today for the first time. I want to muslim people. I don't know any muslims here in Utah, and I just reverted from being kind of catholicish(not really), but anyway.. I know about the dresscode and all I just started covering my head and dressing modestly a few days ago although I don't own muslim wear yet. I am working on that, but my question is what do I need to go there. Do I ask for someone or do I expect that sisters will be around the Masjid? Thank you for all the inputs.

In 1985, President Ronald Reagan received a group of beardedmen. They were very ferocious-looking bearded men with turbans looking like they came from another century. President Reagan received them in the White House. After receiving them he spoke to the press. He pointed towards them, I'm sure some of you will recall that moment, and said, "These are the moral equivalent of America's founding fathers". These were the Afghan Mujahiddin. They were at the time, guns in hand, battling the Evil Empire. They were the moral equivalent of our founding fathers!

I'm starting to believe that I'm demon posessed. Its my fault for not believing Jesus was from God but accusing him to be from Satan but now I know he was right but its too late, or is it not?

I was wondering if I called my pastor to do an exocism on me, because I'm getting extremly depressed and I am losing all hope for the future.

Its only been 2 weeks but I'm already feeling a difference.

I'm slowly getting more against God then I ever was and feel full of rage, and I am so frightened that I don't know what to do.

I was once born again and felt the spirit inside me, then all of a sudden I accused the spirit to be from Satan. But I am extremly confused at the moment that I don't know what to do next.

Is it true that what my friends are telling me that God can't hear me anymore?

Are we in the great tribulation?

Yes. However, the character of the great tribulation is not one of physical violence; but rather of spiritual unfaithfulness in the churches and congregations of the world towards the Word of God. It is characterized by a widespread emphasis on signs and wonders. The churches of our day (all denominations: whether Catholic or Protestant) have fallen away tremendously from the truths of the Bible:
For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect. (Matthew 24:21,24)

Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; (2 Thessalonians 2:3)

Considering that he was "part of God", Jesus didn't do much. He may have cured the odd leper and blind person, but why didn't he invent penicillin or find the cure for cancer?

Why is your god real, but not any of the others?

How can you prove this?

What do you think of people who have just as much faith and conviction as you, but in a different god?

Most of my family belongs to the JW religion :(
(Basically, every family member that lives in the same city, this include: My Parents/Siters, Uncles, Cousins, etc.)

I think I'm the only non-religious member.
I'm an Atheist, but I try to be tolerant of any religion.

Anyway its a little stressful during holidays, especially at thanksgiving, Christmas, birthdays, etc.

I love the whole holiday spirit and being able to gather together to enjoy the holidays. Just once, I would like to wake up and find a Christmas tree with gifts below it and my family gathered around it. Unfortunately this is something I'ved never gotten a chance to experience.

Should I just deal with this and accept the fact I might never get to experience a Holiday with my family?

Should I celebrate the Holidays with a friend and 'their' family?

Should I wait till I get married and celebrate with my in-Laws?
(Im 20 tho, so it might be a while...)

Should I try to Convert them to Atheism...?

Of Atheist, What would it take for us to believe in God.
I guess since I once did believe in a God, that question seem difficult. Short of the God/Godess saying here I am. Of course then my sanity would come into question.

So my question would be what would it take to convince the Religious that there is no God. It seems rather silly to show an empty hand and say "see I told you nothing." Yet that is pretty much the evidence. With every new discovery we say "well no God here".( of course the faithful see affirmation) With every passing year no return of the "promised one" At what point to you reconsider? I have seen posts saying end of the world 2011. when I was a kid they said 1999. I know I infer more of a Christian religion when I speak. But only because they are the most outspoken and the ones with whom I am most familier.
Is there anything to deter you from your faith? Most likely not.

I mean, I see where they're coming from, but there is much historical and scientific evidence that supports the Bible. It's almost as if you say "I have $100000 in my pocket." They say "NO WAY you're lying!" You take it out and show it to them, and they say "Hmmmm.... there's no way that money's real, it must be fake." That is how ignorant these Atheists are....

Dear God:
I know that I'm a sinner. I deserve Hell. But You sent Jesus to die for my sins. I believe that He died and rose again. I ask you now to forgive my sins, once an for all. I now receive Jesus Christ as my Lord and Personal Saviour. Please come into my heart and save me, Help me to know I am saved and live for You, the rest of my life. In Jesus' Name I pray, Amen.

Well, I'm here to say, Oh hecky naw! That male does not represent me or any other Quran following Muslim who just want to live in peace and raise their families, following Islam of course so that their wives are just as much a part of society as the men are according to the Sunnah. His violence is against Islam. Nobody attacked him, he had no right to kill 3000 people that day nor any other innocent people he's murdered using his brainwashed nutjobs. What do you think of this?

"All this amounts to an odd and extreme violation of the normal methods of Islamic scholarship. Had the authors of such fatwas [non-binding legal opinions] followed the norms of their religion, they would have had to acknowledge that no school of traditional Islam allows the targeting of civilians. An insurrectionist who kills non-combatants is guilty of baghy, "armed transgression", a capital offence in Islamic law.

The CHOICES...... Are.....

1. Forgiveness from Christ Jesus.... for your Sin / Sins with Eternal Life in Heaven with Him

= OR =

2. Eternal Damnation and Eternal Torment in the Lake of
Fire

(1Corinthians 16:22) If anyone does not love the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be accursed. The Lord comes!

AND...

(Rev 20:12) And I saw the dead, the small and the great, stand before God. And books were opened, and another book was opened, which is the Book of Life. And the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.

(Rev 20:13) And the sea gave up the dead in it. And death and hell delivered up the dead in them. And each one of them was judged according to their works.

(Rev 20:14) And death and hell were cast into the Lake of Fire. This is the second death.

(Rev 20:15) And if anyone was not found having been written in the Book of Life, he was cast into the Lake of Fire.

WHICH.... one for YOU ?

Thanks, RR

Just curious about what the JW policy is on education, particularly college and higher education?

Also is the policy the same for men and women?

For me, I transformed myself into a better person when I was given a "second chance". Basically, I was scared straight and I made something of my second chance.

Now, I'm looking for a next step and I'm wondering how you overcame and excelled.

How does he feel about me now considering I was born again, felt his holy spirit inside me, (you instantly feel love for everyone, and a warm breeze going through you) then believed the holy ghost was from Satan, felt his Holy spirit leave me, heard him scream at me saying he wont ever forgive me, then imediatly realized Jesus wasn't Satan, that God wasn't the Devil, and that I was too paranoid/stupid to believe God was the Devil.

I hope he realized I have add, ocd, ahdh, I am bi-polar, I'm a gemini with multiple personalities, part of me likes holy things, part of me likes going crazy and sin, I think too much about everything, don't know who I truly am, yet he holds all that against me.

I screamed up in the air I hate you god your no God to many anymore and I hate you for making me. I told him you can't make me and I'm slowly getting more evil losing my good conscience everyday.

hmm...

So exactly what is happening here?
