. Personally, I agree with you about the logical inconsistencies in Christianity,
and that was MY ONLY POINT- SMILE
But in this case, since Greenpalmtrees is not trying to push her viewpoint on anyone else, what justification do you have for attacking it?
When I first read this line you typed above - I wanted to laugh,
I asked myself, Where Have I heard this before-
that when a person merely points out the inconsistenies in a person belief system they are then ATTACKING THAT PERSON'
and i said, it was in WT, for we all know that to point out the inconsistenies to a jw is going to be viewed as attacking them
whether she was "pushig" her views or not ----don't change the FACT that it is inconsistent. and I merely pointed that out
If she came out and said that only Christians are saved, you would attack her as intolerant.
I see you just love that word "Attack"
Why, I don't know, since the bible is "Intolerant" of those who don't follow it-
I mean to tell someone that they will die cause they don't share your belief system sounds pretty Intolerant to me, just ask all those nations the Isrealites wiped out-
I am just merely pointing out what the bible says I didn't make that up - don't blame me for telling folks
"IF YOU AIN'T SAVE YOU TOAST"
Since she believes that non-Christians are also saved, you attack her as untrue to her own beilefs.
Again we see the word "Attack" used -
Let me ask you -- If a JW comes to this site and you point out to him that the FDS teaches that they should not be hanging out with Apostates -
Are you attacking him??-- or merely pointing out what his OWN belief system teaches and how he or she is not consistent with it?
Damned if she does, damned if she doesn't.
You are 110% correct-- AND THAT IS what happens when one follows a belief system that condemns others to death for not sharing thier views
as you pointed out so well-- in your opening statement -and I quote
Personally, I agree with you about the logical inconsistencies in Christianity, which is why I personally am not a Christian due to the inconsistencies
Well my question to you is
"Is it possible that she doesn't realize just how Inconsist her views are?"
ask any of us who were jw did we think out views were- many of us would have died for them-
the wt is NOT THE ONLY belief system that has goofy and inconsistent veiws and teaching on matters
so for me to merely point them out and it be viewed as ATTACKING A PERSON--- i disagree
but hey-- no one can get DFed for disagreeing here
The only conclusion you would accept, apparently, is if she abandoned her belief system and adopted yours instead.
Actually not, I don't know about you , but I don't feel that you or I need "Acceptance" from anyone,
she doesn't need my acceptance any more than you or I need it of each other--that is an old WT mindset, WHAT WILL THE FRIENDS THINK-
Before you go accusing anyone else of intolerance,
your comments are interesting- for you state that i am accusing her of being "Intolerant"
which if anyone goes back and read my post will find that I NEVER accused her of being such-
while in fact--
her comments are "VERY TOLERANT", they are just inconsistent with the bible which "IS INTOLERANT"
thereby putting a person like her in a --catch 22--
You see i indicated i was dealing with the BOTTON LINE WHICH IS
"I you don't do it this way over here -you die"
perhaps you should examine yourself.
Since I didn't accuse her of being "Intolerant" as you stated - What are you talking about?"
are you saying by pointing out these things I am being Intolerant??
