I hear you rezrez...
I used to beleive what other people told me about "other" religions. I never even asked any questions for fear that I might be inviting demons. But it was a foolish thing to think that ALL other groups are evil... They kinda had same problem in the first century.
The only safe approach was to follow the bible's example of Cornelius the Centurion... Pray constantly, show compassion to my fellow man (no matter who they are... even samaritans) and wait for Jehovah's Holy Spirit to show the way. It worked 2000 years ago and it works today! Jehovah searches the whole earth looking for those that love him. To those people, he will expose his true self. On the other hand, those that go searching for the teachings of man... will find just that.
I happen to worship with a group of believers who sincerely love on another... even those that disagree with their views, and do their best to honor God by name. Except for the weekly sacrifice of puppies... it's a beautiful thing. -

No one is trying to make converts.
As jgnat said, this is a dicussion board. Throw a topic out and it's discussed.

Welcome rezrez! I'm Jewish, formerly a Jehovah's Witness. I believe that religion is a "belief system to explain the unexplainable". The world has a beautiful garden of flowers and God let's you choose the one which speaks to your heart the best. Stick around and fellowship with us. shalom, Moshe

They also believe that Jesus returned invisibly in 1914. So you can panic as much as you think is warranted by their proven level of accuracy.

"Many religions like the Catholics and the Baptist claim to teach the facts about the bible" Actually, Baptist do not have any kind of organization telling them what to believe. They have unified essentials that every member must agree with like who Jesus is and what he did for us. But they do not believe that they have any authority to set rules for you or interpret stuff like who this or that symbolizes. They believe in the Bible as the only authority. The problem you have with most religions is that they take the place of God. Find a church that believes in the Bible and believes that your relationship with Jehovah comes directly from him and not through the church or organization. There are a lot of good ones out there. You just have to be careful not to get into a church where they think they have some special insight into the Bible. Renee
