Do You Know The Truth That Will Set You Free? Free From What?—John 8:32.

[goodlife]

Today many people are unhappy, and millions of others are unemployed. But on the other hand, millions are finding encouragement from the Bible.

Naomi. I know and understand what it says in Ecclesiastes.
You say you know your Bible, so I was asking you what you think it says and what it means. Can you?

You say you are open to discussion, yet you do not make any sensible comments about what I said. Whether pasted or not, it is fact! Perhaps you can highlight what particularly annoys you?
A day is as a thousand years was not pasted. It is fact that with Jehovah time is not as man sees it.
It is a well known fact regarding Louis Pasteur, no need to copy & paste that! Sometimes it is easier to copy & paste. Can you honestly say you have NEVER done that? Are you so perfect that everything you write is completely your own thoughts? That can never be. Even scholars look to and copy what has been written before.

Ah yes, the JW belief that Jesus Christ has been ruling in heaven as king since 1914.

Anyone who believes that needs some serious psychological help. From a flesh and blood human, not the warped writings of religious nut-jobs.

// Apparently there’s 8.4m in the JW cult, and yet only 144k of them will reach heaven.//
True there is well over 8 million Jws around the world. But do you really know the understanding of the word "cult"? World governments acknowledge that Jehovah's Witnesses are peace loving, law abiding religion and in many cases do much help in charities worldwide, which is not publicised.
Cult is a term that doesn't refer to religion at all, but is applied to a social movement.
So what differentiates a cult from a religion? I think you need to do some research yourself?

//I was asking you what you think it says and what it means. Can you? //

I can discuss it with you, goodlife, but to what purpose?

[goodlife]

Zacs- every man is entitled to his opinion—but that it doesn’t take any effort or knowledge or careful reasoning to distinguish an opinion from a mere prejudice.

[Zacs-Master]

You really do need some serious help, goodlife.

[naomi24]

Do you recognise prejudice in yourself, goodlife?

[vulcan42]

goodlife, saying the Jehovah's witness help in charities worldwide but is not publicised, is a very easy statement to make, as it offers no proof. Unfortunately, like most religions, proof is something you don't deal with.

[goodlife]

(I can discuss it with you, goodlife, but to what purpose?)

I can't you don't have one.

[naomi24]

Jehovah's Witnesses help worldwide - but they only help Jehovah's Witnesses - and that's at a push.

[naomi24]

I don't have a purpose, goodlife? Really? And you know this how?

[naomi24]

Actually, goodlife, your post at 11.12 says it all. You have nothing but disdain for anyone who doesn't agree with you. Some Christian!

[Zacs-Master]

Who ruled in heaven before 1914? Or was it an anarchy-syndicalist commune ?

[goodlife]

You really do need some serious help.

[naomi24]

Why goodlife? In which respect?

[goodlife]

Zacs-How about you personally? Are you happy? Can you increase your happiness? Happiness may be defined as “a state of well-being that is characterized by relative permanence, by emotion ranging from mere contentment to deep and intense joy in living, and by a natural desire for it to continue.” The Bible shows that true happiness refers to the condition of one who is blessed by God.

[Zacs-Master]

Don’t you worry about me, sunshine. You just keep that good book by your side. It always gets you out of the tightest situations, doesn’t it!

That must be the biggest load of nonsense I have read here.

Sorry , but those who believe the bible works to be the be all and end all are seriously deluded

I have never read the bible, why should I, there are more interesting works of fiction.
