    Here are two scriptures I couldn't shake. They made me question the way we as jw's were taught. They helped me leave.

    Matthew 18:20
    Jesus said,"Where two or three come together in my name, there am I with them."

    Hebrews 5:9
    Once made perfect, (Christ) became the source of eternal salvation for all who obey him.

    Jesus is there for us. The slant we were taught on these scriptures doesn't match the spirit of these scriptures. He is with any two or three, not just jw. He is the source of salvation to all who obey. Not for only those who are jw's, and following their rules. There are so many people out there who genuinely love God and worship him and live their lives according to the bible. The songs that praise him and mention him in the country music I like to listen to, always made me realize how heartfelt these "worldly" people felt. How was that wrong? It's not. Their faith is real and I loved to listen to it. I hope this helps. Don't do anything crazy, like going to the k. hall.

    Little Drummer Boy: That took me back to the 80's! Started thinking about other metal bands I remember: Def Leppard, AC/DC, Judas Priest, Ronnie James Dio...anybody remember Queensryche?

    BFD: Going to check this out later...thanks

    Simplesally: Of course, you're right. It's Sunday. I should get to work and God knows I've got plenty I could be doing!

    Nvr: I never know when you're serious or making fun of me because of something I've said recently. I'm going to figure you out one of these days.

    Eclipse: So...are you saying that "God" is the ESSENSE of our collective consciousness? That makes sense.

    Outlaw: I said: No fire and brimstone! lol

    JamesThomas: My favorite "preacher". You make me want to grab my Yoga mat and go outside and sit quietly by the big pine tree and just BE....thank you.

    anybody remember Queensryche?

    Oh, I do, that's for sure.

    Wife and I saw them in concert just this past November.

    They are hands down my favorite band of all time.

    And still I'm standing here
    I'm awaiting this grand transition
    I'm a fool in search of wisdom
    And I'm on the road to madness
    Yes, I'm on the road to madness

    Queensryche, Roads to Madness

    I believe the idea of god originates from our primitive mind

    I've never made fun of you, j-o.

    Never will.

    Eclipse used to have the same problem, taking offense at things I said, when she started posting.

    My sarcasm is reserved for institutions and traditions and repressive organizations, not nice people like yourself.

    It's no accident that you're here.

    I sincerely mean that.

    Nvr, I did not get offended per se, I just did not know how to take you, like journey-on

    Then I learned that you were not making fun of me either
