Shamus,

I still think you have a nice ass.

Seriously.......I have quite a history of doing the same myself here. I was an am still so pissed over religion.....and especially one that closely resembles the borg......I could puke. It's easy to put up our flags and tell them to "hit the road, we don't need that kind of shit anymore".

I am slowly coming to realise these people are real, with real feelings, and are as lost as we were and they need help........as we needed/need help.

You can still have fun and tease I have learned as Little toe was an expert at. He could debate to the hilt, yet remain friends with those he debated with. He taught some things and he learned some things.

Thanks for your reply.....it was nice.

Last time I looked there was a post at the top of the page that said 'All Welcome'. How welcome has this poster been made to feel? One of the things I didn't like about being a jw was being told what I could and couldn't believe, and them having a go at people if they didn't believe the same things as them. Thats what I've just seen, people having a go at him because he believed different things to them. Personally, I disagree with what he believes, but if he has that faith then good for him if he wants to follow it, we're all free people. I respect people who have a faith, because I myself have none. And the main thing is that they are trying to take people away from the wbts, and isn't that what we all want? Different people want different things. There was a thread a few days ago about not being happy with all the fluff on here because it put some people off because they still believed in Jehovah just not in what was happening with the organisation(I think Nickey started it, but correct me if I'm wrong). This sort of thing might have been just what they're looking for, an important first step to get them out of the wbts and able to start looking at things for themselves, and then they might progress onto here anyway. Different people need different things. And I thought it was out of order for people to have a go at somebody because they believed something they didn't like while at the same time attacking the wbts for shunning people who didn't follow their believe system.

What I don't like is bashing other religions---and the WTB&TS is most definitely guilty of that. But yet The Church of Jehovah is doing the same thing. I still believe in God, but struggling with the name he prefers to be called. How do we know its supposed to be Yahweh,Jehovah, or whatever variation of the name? Anyway, I am very hestitant to join any group that bashes. Even though the governing body has its faults, and the are shameful, they have also taught some good things...even though they attach guilt with the majority of their teachings.

Look, I'm being irrereverent, and smart-alecky, but any argument or position advanced here is always subjected to criticism and comment. A lot worse has happened to me on this board and no one made a peep. If he can't engage in the discussion (and he wouldn't) why is he here? How nice am I supposed to be to a proselytzer that comes into a public place and starts talking to me?

You are no different then the jws you speak against.You are in here to recruit .We do not need you or any other religion to tell us what to think and how.You are all scared of the end and all trying to save your own butts.Is it realy love or afraid of the threats that you will die in the end ?Why do you need any religion to believe in god?THINK FOR YOURSELF

We do not know -- like we do not truly know Jesus's name --but highly likely to be Yeheshua ben Joseph - or the Greek equivalent Iesous -- or in latin Iesus
