I'd like to sit down and have a good long conversation with someone who doesn't have questions about the Bible.

[Heather]

If you find that person, let me know.  I'd love to hear that conversation!

[Sarah]

I think we all would...

[Heather]

I think questions are a good thing, to some extent.  If we stop asking questions and digging into scripture we stop learning.  I for one don't want that!  

[Kitura]

that is very true. but really.. what is there to ask?.. it sais straight out. obey be and live holy. thats all i need to understand (well not all but u know what i mean ) but yes i agree never stop trying to learn bout the Bible

I was thinking about this all - and I think I and probably others were sort of interested in people who had no Qs rather than wanting to be those kind of people.

And I realised I've met people like that - JWs - and read about people like that - eg in cults and extreme sects.

Usually the people who have no questions have none because they have accepted entirely someone else's interpretation, however different it may be from what the bible says, and aren't willing to imagine that it could be questioned. The JWs I have talked to about stuff (only a couple) have made me sad because of some of the things they trot out parrot fashion that are so obviously twisted...

being the type of person i am i make frienmd really easily.. so growing up i had very mandy different friends with all different religions.. my group of friend that i mainly hung out with in highschool. consisted of a JW a catholic,a buddist,a baptist and me .. so we often had very many conversations about different religions so it was very exciting to learn how there religions worked andmy JW friend also was very rehursed in almost everything she said like she was a robot.. but when she wasnt talking about her religion she wasnt.. it was weird.. i guess theres no point to what im saying.. but i agfree with you..lol

[Heather]

What a diverse group of friends, Kitura!  I agree with you both, that someone who doesn't have questions has probably accepted someone else's point of view....it's sad really.  

[Kitura]

sometimes i think about going back to school to learn about differnt religions and stuff

[Heather]

That would be great!  You should do it...you may have to quit one of your jobs though....
