You know, MadJW, you are on the brink of an epiphany. Here is the thing you are missing. No GROUP or ORGANIZATION can fulfill all those things. That includes the WT society. That also includes Baptists, Lutherans, Catholics, and every other religious organization out there. That is why the FDS is NOT the head of the congregation. If you recall, it is JESUS that is the head of the congregation (or more accurately translated CHURCH).
Individual Christians make up the body of Christ. A corporation does NOT make up the body of Christ. He deals with us on an individual basis. I've come to the conclusion that there are true christians located in MANY different religious groups. I think there are true christians that are JWs. I think there are true christians that are baptists. And...get ready for this, because it will blow your JW mind...I think there are true Christians that are...CATHOLICS!!! *GASP!!!!*
Also, I am a very nice and kind person. Most people on the board will agree with that. It is true that I get frustrated at you quite a bit because it seems that you have your own agenda and are not here to learn from the experience of others, but to berate and belittle anyone that has different beliefs than you do. I used to do the same as a JW. But now I've learned that I can respect the views of others and agree to disagree. I've had a tough time with atheists, but I'm starting to understand where they are coming from.
Why I get so frustrated with you is...you don't seem to do that. I only see intolerance and arrogance coming from what you say. Who knows. Maybe I am reading you wrong. But that's the way you come across. And I see that most people who respond to you on this board feel like this too. And what may start out as an intelligent dialogue and exchanging of ideas becomes an opportunity for you to berate others and use your buzz words like "Churchianity" to degrade others. If you REALLY feel like you have the truth, just remember that you will attract more bees with honey than with acid, MadJW. You might want to change your name too. Don't be so mad and angry all the time. Lose some of that sarcasm. Stop taking yourself so seriously and when someone has a good point, acknowledge that.
Just some words of advice for you.
