72 Answers
Because through the pages of the Bible he speaks to you.
He tells you what he has done in times past and what he has purposed to do in the future.
He gives you sound counsel and wise instruction for guiding you in the way that is best for you.
Since he is far wiser than any human, what he says is worthy of your attention.
If you listen to him, his written Word can be for you a book of life.
“For all things that were written aforetime were written for our instruction, that through our endurance and through the comfort from the Scriptures we might have hope.”—Rom. 15:4

Naomi@ As per usual you twist words. I am not doubting that she wrote what she believes to be true. Over the years I have found that many people convince themselves that certain things are true. But in many instances it is a case of "Chinese whispers". I have spoken with many who have said things were true, but on further discussion found that it was hearsay and...

They are indeed from the old testament
Last I heard that was part of the Bible
Are you telling me that the OT isn't accepted by Christianity any more? ( I think that would be a great step forward for you all btw )
Can't you see how selective you are with the OT in particular?
It's dragged out to support all sorts of ridiculous ideas but when it goes too far we get the argument you've just made!

Goodlife, //If a person is in that position she would shout and scream etc. etc. thus showing she was in need of help - if she didn't then she was consenting to the act.
There is a difference!//
You really are sickening! What the hell do you know about being on the receiving end of rape!!! Stupid man!
//Look at the Jews. They said they had a love but what did they do? They put Jesus to death.//
No – they didn’t - but in your case, the deliberate propaganda worked. The Romans put Jesus to death.
//BTW we do not burn in hell. So I dont know where you got that from//
Atalanta got it from the Bible. Read it.

But in many instances it is a case of "Chinese whispers". I have spoken with many who have said things were true, but on further discussion found that it was hearsay and over the telling became exaggerated to the point that it was factual to them.
'What I was saying was that much of what she wrote was wrong. For example, elders are not chosen because of their educational qualifications, or because of their wealth.
Children are allowed to choose whether they want to go to university or college. My daughter went to college, but my son was pushed by his school to go to university, but he chose not to. He has a number of friends who went to university. Not that it did them much good, he has a far better career than they have.
And as for telling people they will burn in hell. No way. Hell is only mankinds grave, it is not a burning fire of torment!
There are many other things she got wrong but it would take too much time to go into every little detail.

Naomi- No two situations are alike, and no prevention advice is foolproof. Even rape experts disagree on how much and what kind of resistance a victim should put up during an attack.
//No – they didn’t - but in your case, the deliberate propaganda worked. The Romans put Jesus to death.//
Ok but the Jews sentenced him to death.

Bloomin' 'eck how long did it take you to type all that. What a waste of valuable time when you could be eating chocolate, drinking wine, and generally enjoying yourself. Or come to think of it, perhaps this is the way you enjoy yourself. I'm off - it is too much for me to read, especially as I don't believe a word.
Truthabounds, I don’t twist words. I’ve asked you a straight question.
//For example, elders are not chosen because of their educational qualifications, or because of their wealth.//
Who’s twisting words? Icg didn’t say that. She said ….
//they had all gone to university and had spent time building careers or a business after leaving school themselves. this is also how they achieved their 'respect'; social standing within the group;//
…. and that’s not the same thing at all.
//Children are allowed to choose whether they want to go to university or college.//
That may be, but this….
//Witnesses discourage participation in university education for its own sake.//
from here:…..

… and that’s not the same thing either.
Goodlife, //Naomi- No two situations are alike, and no prevention advice is foolproof. Even rape experts disagree on how much and what kind of resistance a victim should put up during an attack.//
You’ve said quite enough about rape. If I were you I’d keep your idiotic notions to yourself!! You haven’t the foggiest idea!!
//Ok but the Jews sentenced him to death.//
No, the Romans sentenced him – they saw him as a troublemaker - and the Romans executed him. The Jews charged him with Blasphemy – not a crime under Roman law. Had the Jews sentenced him he would have been stoned to death – not crucified.

You need to read it more thoroughly then.

Hi goodlife
I am a new player I like good oneness answer and freedom of expression .but sad to say there are those how have now faith at all and criticise those how do .
Thanks for your comment . the end of the word . As one how try to believe ,and follow the Christ .yes there are many how are not believe. The k.j.v has a warning ,?? twice god has destroy the world ( the flood and Sodom and Gomorrah) not the world as we know it ,But destroy people . in revelation he refer to those ruining the Earth ,, so this must be people ???? (not earth) ?? I think .
What Rewards Do You Get For Studying God’S Word?
Gods love and help .Jesus says how ever follow hem would get life in this world and next s ?????
Pity, that neither testament mentions the fact that a woman can be drugged by a man intent on rape. A drugged woman cannot cry out, so that means she consented both to the drugged drink and the rape. That leaves rapists untouchable, and women without any defences, either against rapists or against a religion-based "justice" system. I suppose you would demand a woman accused of being raped must prove she was drugged.
Just stop and think about your values. Such values as you describe are worthless, and they bring shame onto religion, not the respect you demand.

Hope everyone had a good xmas day and the turkey is digesting nicely! :)
@Goodlife - Your comments regarding rape are indefensible, ignorant and sickening. I suggest you quit your comments before you dig yourself any deeper into the hole you have already dug.
Ladybirders testimony regarding her experiences with the JWs is powerful and affecting, and certainly matches other testimony I have heard. Disfellowshipping or shunning is a petty way for a community to behave, and the hostility to education, particularly in science/ biology etc is well known.
And what is the point of studying testament anyway? Some refuse to recognise the validity of the Old Testament, and it seems that believers choose to ascribe a literal or metaphorical meaning to any verse, more or less on a whim. Faith twisting reality and feedling the delusion yet again.

If I was beign threatened with rape by a man who I thought might kill me, I think I might not shout and scream but just hope that by lying quietly and letting him get on with it, I might survive. It doesn't mean I consent to it.
What a load of old sexist rubbish goodlife is quoting - not dissimilar to the quotation by the US bloke who said that a woman's body won't let a man in if she doesn't want it. Load of old dangerous cobblers.
