Wow...{{warm fuzzy}}...I feel like I did some good. Let me know how it turns out.

Yikes!!!!

100% Orthodox Judaism
94% Islam
67% JW

I didn't see the religion I was raised in, on there.

Xander

Did you expect to see it? IE., do you hold those beliefs now?

Just wondering. (67% JW?!? And you call yourself 'Apostate Man'?? Of course, since they only accept 100% JW, I guess that's accurate. Never mind. )

Here's a link to an egroup for exJWs and others whose main uniting belief is in ACTIVE LOVE AND KINDNESS although many to most are nontrinitarian, believe hellfire is not literal, and resurrections is on earth for some and to heaven for others. The movement is called simply the Christians or descriptively the Free Christians. The Jah Christians are just one Bible reading/study group within it, but the group puts out the Free Christians News 2-3 issues per week via

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/jahchristian

The newsletters often have articles promoting Christian Freedom per Romans 14:1-5. Those who get the newsletter are under no obligation to join anything. They are welcome to simply read the articles and retain their most current belief systems, however they prefer. To get the free subscription just go to the link. Besides the news service there are other also free services such as epenpals by state, province, nation. Although Unitarians sound attractive you may not know upfront that they view Christ as simply a good man, and many of their congregations are dominated by atheists and pagans.

Can't be that bad, you've just got to get married a few more times. (Or, not mind sharing your husband with a few more women?) Oh, and stop drinking coffee.

(Incidently, circe2, my test came out looking pretty much exactly like yours)

SHOCKING FACTS TOLD OUT OF LOVE FOR CONGREGATIONS OF JW'S AND THE PUBLIC: As Dateline NBC showed in 2002 Watchtower Society (WTS) heads over Jehovah's Witnesses (JWs) cover up child molestation and let pedophiles go door-to-door (also http://www.silentlambs.org 1 877-WT-ABUSE). They said God opposes the UN but in 1991-2001 were a formal UN associate not just to use the UN's library as proved if you will
read the Nov 22, 1998 Awake magazine closely and http://www.unhchr.ch/udhr/materials/articles.htm

for the 2nd entry there. 1 Cor 6:1 only says judge "trivial" things as in business, James 2:4-13 calls judging harmful, and Paul says the "majority" (2 Cor 2:6) followed his advice to shun a wrongdoer, meaning a minority chose not to and yet he nowhere condemns them, yet the WTS has formal Judicial Committes destroying families via numerous formal renderings of disfellowshipment (severe shunning).

Acts 15:20 says abstain from blood but 1 Sam 14:32-5 says Saul's army ate unBLED meat to not starve and no verses show God not forgiving them. Christ says God also forgave David's eating temple holy bread and that "God wants mercy not sacrifice." (Mt 12:7) The May 22, 1994 Awake tells of 26 JW kids who died without transfusions, and by common sense in massive bleeding as in car wrecks blood expanders won't save lives http://www.ajwrb.org. About 3 JWs die daily earthwide from the unscriptural policy, (Blood On The Altar by David
Reed) and most normal identical twins transfuse blood to each other via a shared placenta, a natural affirmation of God's will. Doctors, nurses and the public need to inform JWs of these facts to save lives, as WTS heads don't fully inform them.

Some interested, fed-up JWs calling themselves in general Free Christians or by other local names like the Active Christians of Jah, have formed and encourage others to also form nonWTS groups meeting in homes with Unity by love rather than forced uniformity of
beliefs. Groups are led by Jehovah's Christ and Spirit rather than a single human, and have the Bible for Teacher rather than magazine articles and imperfect humans are the main study source. Some teach but do not compel the belief also held by many independent Baptists and others that resurrection for some will be on Earth returned to
paradise. Thus true Bible Study groups are forming, orginated by those wishing to do so without their having to ask any human. (2Ti 3:16) So far still more have joined other church groups including non-denoms or stayed associated with the WTS but greatly decreased donations and support to its heads. WTS heads misrepresent yearly growth among JWs which in reality is in decline.

What you are reading can and has saved lives. JWs are not allowed to freely read it when it's put in their hands but do when it is mailed/emailed to them. It was written out of love for not only beloved ones still misled by the WTS but also to better inform the public, doctors, nurses, attorneys etc. Please make and use copies of this for years ahead.

And, this has what to do with how?
