Riddle

by Coded Logic in

at the end of the film he saves all his friends but isn't able to defeat the sorcerer.

which film is it?.

Starwars. The answer is always starwars.

so my uncle wrote me a long letter out of concern, it was filled with bit of love and concern here and there but also a lot of staunch dogmatic and at times down right disturbing thoughts and assumptions.

if you doubt the bible or jw.org, seems even close family feels you are on a one way track to death by godville.

anyway, he accused me of being a luciferian.

Omg.... Im a luciferian!

So, every sin can be forgiven, except Apostacy? Right...that makes sense.....

by stuckinarut2 in

ok, so we know that the wt teaches that every sin can be forgiven, but if one leaves the org and becomes a "vile apostate", that is "sinning against the holy spirit" and can not be forgiven?.

so, murderous sick people are ok.. child abusers...ok. violent drug dealers ...ok. war mongering genocidal killers...ok. but, speak against the gb....not ok....you are the worst of the worst!.

makes perfect sense really hey?.

_Morpheus

The org does not teach any specific sin is unforgivable, rather the attitude of the person determines if they have unforgivably greived the HS. Apostates can and are reinsted at times, although the ks book warns about being fooled by them too easily. There was also a recent article sharing the life experiance of someone who doubted (ie apostate),but came back into good standing.

My Mission is over!

by abiather in

when i understood, jws are wrong in some vital areas [eg.

woman being viewed secondary, refusal to greet those differing with them ....], but right in other vital areas [such as their teaching that human rule is doomed, and will be replaced by gods rule], i began a diligent search for the right organization.

my search ended with brahmakumaris.

Halilujah!

Ezekiel 25:17

"The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the iniquities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who in the name of charity and good will shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord... when I lay my vengeance upon thee.

Dwain, think about what you wrote... "Its not a rumor i heard it from my brother in law".

Thats actually the dictionary definision of a rumor.

Why I became agnostic after leaving the Watchtower

by donny in

one of many things that led me to agnosticism after leaving the jw's was the cognitive dissonance i encountered with those in the mainstream churches, especially the really conservative ones.

these types would scream out in protest (rightly so) on all of the current atrocities going on in the world regarding islam and its radical extremists, but then justify the savage murders and slaughter perpetuated by israel in the old testament.. often i would take these passages and replace the names and places of these scriptures with current ones.

for example 1 samuel 15:3 reads "now go, attack the amalekites and totally destroy all that belongs to them.

_Morpheus

I dont want to derail donny's thread but im sick of hearing the 'jesus was a hippie' crowd. No he wasnt. He is portrayed as being more loving and kind than your average terrorist, i agree, but he still taugh death and destruction to those that didnt agree with him, including teaching fire and brimstone death in gehena.

Also to add my .02 to the idea that the desert god is "passive" i say, bull. Sh**. the desert god claims to have killed every man woman child and animal in the world once and uses that as an example and promise that he will do it again. Far from passive.
