Greetings Folks, I am new here and interested in the speak. How is everyone? I am happy. Nice to see so many gathered together here. I was never a member of the Jehovah's Witnesses, but I have many friends that were succumbed into the plight of many of Christendom's defacing groups. Peace to you all, and may the flu strains not hit you too hard. Bob

Amazing

Hi Bob,

Usually, most newcomers here get a hearty welcome. So, welcome. Some, also get challenging questions on their first post. Therefore, I have a couple for you.

You said in part:

" ... the plight of many of Christendom's defacing groups."

First: Few people ever use the term "Christendom" except Jehovah's Witnesses or ex-Jehovah's Witnesses. I was shocked one time when I saw it used in a booklet published by the John Birch Society. Use of key words is a give-away that a person has been associated with the JWs in some way. How did you come by that word?

Second:What "defacing groups" do you speak of when you use this expression? You state "many" such groups. There are a few, such as Mormons and perhaps Adventists and a few other fringe groups. The rest are pretty much mainline and do not have a 'defacing' affect on people. Usually, JWs and for a time ex-JWs have this view of the mainline religions until they get to know them and find out they are mostly very good.

Thanks in advance if you answer these two questions.

Wow, Such interesting responses. Amazing, the term Christendom is a common collegiate term among scholars and others in high society to describe the various cults of those that believe in such fictional belief systems. Many "Christ" followers who believe in the "Christos" (a negative term given in the bible) were labeled as such by those in Antioch first, and therefore the advent of "Christendom" started. The disciples of the actual biblical character named "Yeshua" or "Iesous" never called themselves by that name. Later, various other pagan groups and false deity worshipers that did not hold true Jewish ideas started their own gatherings as well. The writer Paul for instance, in the latter part of the canon we now call the "bible" was beginning a new Gentile religion of his own, at the same time as many other aristocratic societies of druids and celts began theirs as well. All Christianity of course, is total fiction and merely a comfort for the masses who are not willing to accept that death is simply death, and that's that, as they say. As for my upbringing, it is a predominantly Jewish one. Jewish scholars by the way, first coined the term "Christendom" in the time of Nero, I presume. Good day

Greetings
