galaxie,
This has zero to do with science. I made a statement about what Jesus did for me. I had been on the run from this cult since I was 12 yrs. old when I knew they had lied to their members. I ran from their shame, I ran from my guilt for not being good enough, I ran from my family for not doing enough for the WT. I was constantly running from something - until Christ set me free from all that.
He declared me righteous by his blood. He took my shame - naked on that tree. He took my guilt in court that fateful day. He spilled his blood in place of mine for my sin. I carry the righteousness of Jesus as my very own. God loves me as his own son.
Now I don't fear JW's, I love them. I forgive them. I seek them out whenever I can to try and get them to examine & question the prospect of facing judgment after they die without a mediator to intercede.
I now watch as THEY flee from my questions and shrink back in fear at the prospect of judgment. Where I used to be a victum, I am now the victor. It is the JW's who should be running from every ex-member who finds out the truth about Christ that the Wt tries so dilignetly to hide. There is no reason to run from these victums, they need love.....sometimes tough love, but love nonetheless.
