Turn back on God because of WTS or JW's?? (page 4)

NameWithheld

RR, have your god give me a ring sometime. I'd like to talk to him.

"LOL .... that's exactly what got us into this mess in the first place. Humans feeling they didn't ned God, or that they could live without him. God is God, He makes the rules. He created this universe, and everything in it. You don't like it "get off!""

And what mess would that be? Seems to me that the majority of mankind beleive in god. So by your logic the world would be in better shpae than it is? I'm still waiting for my medical package and paycheck to arrive from god. Seems the mail is slow these days?

Well, while man's waiting for god to cut through the red tape and install his own gov't perhaps we'll just continue to use the ones that we have eh? Maybe god needs his own political party so he can get into the primary next time ...

RR

Tell you what Nameless, consecrate to do the Lord's will unreservedly [Romans 12:1], pick up your cross, deny yourself and follow in the footsteps of Christ, and you'll get a blessing you'll never imagine.

Well, I lost my cross in a poker game. Wonder if that nice chap will sell it back? As for doing god's will, I sent away for an info packet on what god's will is and he hasn't responded yet. More mail problems? And by denying myself - does that mean I have to walk around naked or in sackcloth on the streets homeless? Do I deny myself food and water too? Seems my ministry wouldn't last too long if that were the case. What's in the blessing package? Does it beat my existing 401K plan? Health benefits? I need some dental work, is there a dental plan? Also, I tried following Christ's footsteps, but the tide washed away most of them and I can't see them anymore. Is he going to come back and walk around some more so as to create a few new 'footsteps'?

RR

<sigh> need I say more?

I think you do, because I still don't know what god's 'will' is. And it can't be YOU'RE belief of what god's will is, since you don't speak for god. All I'm asking for is a little devine intervention here - is that so hard? Why does god have to make it so hard for man to know what's right???

RR

He didn't make it hard, just read your Bible!

Ha, now that's a good one, BTW, I have, and I still don't know 'god's will' from that jumble of book(s). Also, how do you know that the Koran or the Book of Mormon are not god's books also/instead? They both claim to be, and have as much 'evidence' supporting them.

RR

I guess you're not searching hard enough!

Rich,

It is people like these who will use thier bitterness towards the Soctiety to actually turn away from Serving God.

I went though that stage myself. Most people who were not raised as a Jehovah's Witness became one because of their sincere desire to serve the true God. Or it is easier for them to keep sinning and blame the JWS and use it as an excuse.

The reason why I created the Christian Ex-Jehovah's Witnesses Club On Yahoo (Link is Below) is a place for those of us who still hold Conservative Christian Values and won't be riducled for expressing them. I like to invite you and anyone else if they like to join.

I am a Conservative Christian, but in no way do I make fun of others or Bible beat them. YOu maybe surprise there is more XJWS who are Conservative Christian than you think. Most Conservative still believe in the Fundamental baisc of tthe Bible and Christian fatih.

I was able to accept true Jesus after being a Jehovah's Witness. Today, I have a great relationship with him. The simplicity of that relationship which is not only amazing but experincing the freedom with out fear which the Watcthower has to add to being a Christian. (JW)

I became a Jehovah's Witness because of my sincere desire to Serve Jehovah and Jesus in the first place.

nowaytess; great to see that despite the presence of some nice Christian here, the self-rightous one's who give Christianity such a bad name are still in abundance. I suppose you think you've escaped the Pharasinical maliase that the WTBTS reside in, but you seem to be saying how rightous you are on a cyber-street corner here, and I wouldn't want to live on the difference between that and the WTBTS.

Is that rude? I do hope so. You were.

Your tired reiteration of previously refuted claims just show the fruit of the 'love' you have, which is a love that looks for distinction between 'us' and 'them'. Jesus didn't do that. He ate with sinners, you look down your nose at them, and do not realise that you are as in much need of salvation as those you sneer at, if there is a god.

You say "I created the Christian Ex-Jehovah's Witnesses Club On Yahoo (Link is Below) is a place for those of us who still hold Conservative Christian Values and won't be riducled for expressing them."

Sorry, you seem to be ridiculing us, so obviously I am going to have to get my "Den of Apostates" going sooner than I had anticipated, as we will be able to practise your double standards there.

And, whether you admit it or not, it someone told you that they worshipped the toothfairy, you'd make fun of them. A dumb arguement is a dumb arguement. If you do not want to be made fun of, make better arguements! It's easy; as you will note if you read some threads, that is the way it goes here AND in real life.

People living in glass paradigms shouldn't throw stones...
