LoveUni- my own WIFE sometimes wonders if I am still a real JW! heh
But I is---altho it's getting quite embarrassing- for the first time in my life!
yes- everyone has faults and makes mistakes; an organization even more so.. yet, you ignore all the fingers pointing at you.. many here have no faith.
many here go to churches who lie about everything biblical; look at x-mas!.
but at least we know god and christ and try to live up to their name!.

Finkle- we JWs DO preach the real gospel, but most add the opinions.
I go to meetings (bored most the time), go out in service (LOVE it), and was once in a show-down with dishonest elders who WANTED to DF me- and was 'saved' by the C.O.!
sad but true; i've yet to be at a meeting where the org/ 'fds' isn't praised....

I would say the same thing.
I would LOVE to be called to the back room for this- and would plop down a Recorder and say- is this because I take Jesus's words about a SINGLE generation as true?
churches: jesus switched bodies for you and has risen!.
jw org: jesus has been ruling for 100 years!.
both equally ridiculous!~.
Simon: Christians believe Jesus gave up his earthly life / human body (the sacrifice) ... but was immediately given a new one. I'm not sure what that means for the alleged sacrifice - it makes it look more like swapping a rental car than giving something up.
>> True! They say he had an 'IMMOIRTAL SOUL'- thus he only switched forms.
According to the scriptures Jesus was resurrected again as a man (body missing from tomb), but was raised to heaven as, once again, a SPIRIT being, not a man of flesh & blood....

So, what's the answer, atheism or agnosticism?
Neither in the OP, OR your question!

Shirley: Aren't you going to answer my question Re: why you defend the WT when they have marginalized you and your type as rebellious ne're do wells??
>>I'm not DEFENDING them, but telling you how I view them.
LoveUni: At one of these he hears about the overlapping generation teaching and asks about it in the following week's study. What would you say to him? Would you parrot the party line or give your own opinion?
>> I would tell him/her it is their OPINION- a MISTAKEN one, since Jesus referred to a SINGLE generation.

Finklestein- I am not an apostate to God, nor even to the WTBS.
They are my BROTHERS making some serious mistakes. I do not consider them evil or wicked- just deluded in some areas. Even Christ had to put up with his fat-headed apostles!
