  ACHARYA S - THE CHRIST CONSPIRACY: "D.M. Murdock, also known as 'Acharya S,' is an independent scholar of comparative religion and mythology, specializing in the ancient astrotheological origins of popular religious systems and beliefs. Murdock, was classically educated, receiving an undergraduate degree in Classics, Greek Civilization, from Franklin & Marshall College. She's a member of 'The American School of Classical Studies at Athens, Greece.' D.M. is well-travelled and speaks, reads and/or writes English, Greek, French, Spanish, Italian, German, Portuguese and a smattering of other languages to varying degrees. She has gained expertise in several religions, as well as knowledge about other esoterica and mystical subjects. D.M. is the author of 'The Christ Conspiracy', 'Suns of God', 'Who Was Jesus' and 'Christ in Egypt'. She'll talk about the roots of Christianity. We discuss how Christianity and the myth of Jesus Christ were created by members of various secret societies, mystery schools and religions in order to unify the Roman Empire under one state religion. The Christ Conspiracy can be divided into two strands, the political and the mythological. We'll discuss both." - www.redicecreations.com/radio/2012/02/RIR-120212.php

  Just some food for thought.

  JWB- science never works with a believer, faith trumps science. When Jesus speaks to you that's it lesson over. Funny these westernized christians never speak of the NT guy known as Jehoshua ben Joseph, Jesus (not this guy's names) has a better sound to it. I love geeeezus, sort of rolls off the tongue better than Jehoshua ben Joseph. I always wonder how many of these guys would follow a messiah named Bill or Fred.

  Christian lesson 101- No Original Sin no christian version of the messiah.

  Thanks for the comments everyone.Yeah i get it that some are turned of by religion after bad experiences.But my point is that at one time you accepted him as your saviour now many of you dont follow him whatever happened toyou in the WT is irrelevant. I was a witness andfaded away noteven disfellowshipped.Then I found The Messiah. I surrendered to him alone im sure there are others who have done . What im saying if you want to find him you have ot go through anquish in the flesh mentally , spiritually and emotionally before you find him. But many dotn want to do that correct1 so they use the excuse of soem book or other by someprobablyAmerican who tries to disprove this that or the other . SO im back to my original qusetion. Why have oyu turned your back when its conveneint for you. If you knew him before you decided to leave achurch or whatever you would have still looked for him, so im suggesting you did notknow him at all. But now you are free who's fault is it if you are not looking for him. Those that love him go through anguish over and over to follow him. I dotn go to a church because the true church cannot be seen or touched. It is spiritual . So if we enter inther eis no condemnation,sily rules etc, just pure love, peace ,joy and devotion and a relationship that you cannot gewith any human.Have you tried to experience that with him. I know that did not exist amongst witnesses. There is the real freedom in him by entering in, the way is still open. But i ge tthe feeling manyof you are still stuck in the flesh that is why you spend your time denouncing and rejoicing over the WT demise. Its like a jilted b or gf .SO i would encourage anyof you to find Your Messiah and see that he is good. He waits with tender compassion to take you towards the city gates where the light shines eternally. No man made orginisation or church cna give you that

  When I was a kid I believed a lot of things that turned out not to be true. I couldn't 'turn my back' on those beliefs. They were simply wrong and I needed to grow a pair and admit it. I would be a fool to carry on believing them, and dishonest if I gave lip service to believing them.

  Do you know what book I was reading when I finally realised that the Bible was only men's thoughts about God, not God's thoughts about man?? It was the Bible, not any other book written by some dissafected Christian, JW, athiest, whatever ....... just the Bible.

  If you want to try and cherry pick some stuff you liked from your time in a high control cult, go ahead, but your past membership in one doesn't leave you with an enviable track record to use if you want to sell yourself as our spiritual advisor.

  BTW, I was born in, never joined.

  Why have oyu turned your back when its conveneint for you.

  The (unfortunately all too typical) accusatory language is not appreciated. Life is a struggle for everyone.

  I am predestined for Hell.

  Who am I to question God's plan?

  This is a perfect trolling thread topic.

  The problem with Jesus for me is that he is so damn picky about who he helps out.

  I mean he helps out Carrie Underwood when she drives down an icy road by taking over the wheel of her car...but he doesn't seem to care much for Syrian women and children who get gassed.

  If he shows up, I promise to take notice. I put the chance of that happening at about 0%.
