Can you refute these? (page 9)

michelle ... my Lord is what "I" choose to believe in. Most people in the US have been exposed to religious teachings and can either take them or leave them ... their choice. I spent 11 years of my life trying to convince people to believe as I believed - then I found out that it was lie. I won't do that again! That is no longer my mission.

My life's purpose is to love God, love myself, love and show compassion for others (not by condemnation, but by understanding and helping whenever I can) and leave the world a better place. Now if you consider that to be hypocritical then so be it.

We know that we have passed from death to life, because we love the brethren, he who does not love his brother abides in death. Whoever hates his brother is a murder, and you know that no murder has eternal life abiding in him. By this we know love, because He laid down His life for us. And we also ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. But whoever has this world's goods, and sees his brother in need, and shuts up his heart from him, how does the love of God abide in him?
My little children, let us not love in word or in tongue, but in deed and in truth. And by this we know that we are of truth, and shall assure our hearts before Him. For our heart condemns us, God is greater than our heart, and knows all things.
Beloved, if our heart does not condemn us, we have confidence toward God.
love michelle

WHAT DOES THIS HAVE TO DO WITH ANYTHING??? If you’re going to quote a scripture at least ‘make the application’ as we used to say in da troof.

Evil force – YOU ARE SO F’ING RIGHT ON MAN!

Willy – thank you! Why she can’t understand the difference between preaching AT people and having a ‘discussion’ is beyond me.

And that little ‘love michelle’ and the heart thing is nauseating. Like a slap in the face followed by a Judas kiss

Dear willy_think,

you said:

See kiddo it's this stuff, don’t you have your own voice? can’t you just talk to us? be a person not a pitch. Don't get me wrong, I'm not feeling sorry for myself, but so far(almost 1 year) anything I have said seems to get the response...yeh, whatever... scripture helps me to put my thoughts and feelings into words...they do seem to be my voice right now. love michelle

If you keep doing what you've always done, you'll keep getting what you've always got.

1. Consider your audience.

2. Do some research outside of the Bible and you'll have more to talk about.

3. Open your mind to the possibility that perhaps there is more than just ONE path to understanding the Divine.

4. Your born-again-ism is no different than JW'ism ... believe as WE believe of DIE! (thus the reason you quoted the scripture about sodom and gommorrah???)

5. This is an EX_JW discussion forum. Most believing Christians quote scriptures respectfully in order to present their point of view, even though they most people here won't agree. I don't have a problem with that at all. It's when people try to tell ME about ME, and what THEY think of my relationship with God that I get heated!

see, she's not really quoting scriptures. she's saying things that sound obtuse enough to be biblical, but she doesn't provide any reference to a passage. she's either plagiarizing the bible as her own thoughts by not including a reference or she is just completely bonkers.

Those options are not mutually exclusive.

LOL - doogie. Reading comprehension has always been one of my strengths. I was wondering why I couldn't understand WTH she was trying to say!

Shelly now you’re talking, I can see the truth of real human experiences and feelings. We are all together in this boat and I do love you.

I know how you feel. I’ve been here for quite some time too and can’t say I have had much response to the things I have to say. I don’t feel sorry for you but I do feel we made contact one person to another.

I wish I was more elegant in my posting, I wish I could express more fully what I feel. I wish I could spell, I wish you could get to know me. I wish there were no pain in my life.

I think this is a good place for wishes

And for hope.

Willy
