can spirituality replace religion?

by make yourself in

i was watching cnn, an d they asked this question and this one lady called in and claimed she wasn't raised in a religious household.

but she remembered when she was in elementary school that this jw girl asked her if she was spritual she said no, then the jw told her she would go to hell.

wow.

Oh I think so very much so. I am a spiritual person and not religious. I don't have a problem with those who do go to church and I go myself once in awhile but I believe in what the scriptures say and it says this " One Faith ! One Baptism ! No where in the scriptures does it command us to go to church or a particular religion. It clearly say's One Faith. What is that Faith ? It is Faith is Christ and it is only through faith is Christ do we recieve the promise.

I have always said Religion was created by man, Faith is created by the Holy Spirit

I got a call yesterday from a very dear and close friend. We go back over 20 years . Let me explain. Lacho his real name Jorace is my age he has only been married once and it was just less than 10 years ago. Anyway My friend Lacho called me to tell me that his wife Olga was not feeling right so they went to the Doctor and they took xrays. The Dr.'s did not like what they saw so they ordered a CT Scan. It came out looking very bad for my dear friend Olga.

So friends if you believe in the power of prayer please pray for my friends Olga and Lacho. They mean the world to me and I don't want to see either of them suffer. Please pray Please............................................................................................................

What accusations do you have about us JWs? AND what group are YOU a part of?

by theMadJW in

.

i'm one of the few jws that freely admit our faults and mistakes.. let's compare notes!.

oldflame

Well I can say that they are all a lot like you madjw, a pompas assclown who thinks and acts like they know everything. I don't come here much and I have not read a lot of your post but to what I have read just on this thread, then yes I can honestly say my assumption was correct ! You are so perfect are 'nt you ? You think that because your a JW you got spiritual right to chew other people out but when the shoe is on the other foot you come back and attack, HMMMMMM Just like anyone else.

You see Mr. your not all it and JW's don't have any more of a promise from God than anyone else here. So my suggestion to you would be to come down from your high horse and start acting like a real humn being and not a droid from the WTBS. !

yesidid,

Yeah I told him to ask them why if he had already been baptised in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit then why would he have to be baptized again. He got mad at me ! Yeah I know many have left I did. But there is a lot of suffering he will get in return for his changing.

The MOST IMPORTANT Topic you will ever read!

by Terry in

the basis of christian belief was accidentally destroyed.

it was corrupted by the finest men who ever lived.. they acted with the noblest intentions.

(originals wore out and only the copies remained.).

oldflame

Well actually we know for proof positive that the scriptures now found in as the Bible had many other books along with those we now know as the Holy Bible. And it was the catholics who decided what books made it and which ones did not.

The other books tell some very different stories than the ones we read. Alsso I will add is have you ever played the game where a person tells a story to the person next to them and then it repeats around the circle till it comes back to the person who originally told it ? 99 % of the time the story comes back totally opposite of what was told.

So yes I believe that man has more than likely has been stepped on and not only man but religion as well. I have always said this 'Religion was created by man, Faith was created by the Holy Spirit " And I do not believe that I have to go to church in order to gain Gods promise, what I do believe is that I have to love others as myself and Love my God with everything I got.

If someone is benefitting from being in a cult, should we leave them there?

by Confuzzled in

jw
friends

if scientology has narcanon, and it has gotten people off drugs (although that 85% sucess rate they say they have is suspect), and becoming a jw sorta forces you into line, would it make sense to leave someone in if they were helping them?

if you knew somebody was a drunk, sex addict, drug addict, what have you, and they were studying, and it appeared that they were actually being helped (albeit by twisted means) would you leave them be?

like, if uncle jim was a fall down drunk that ran around on his wife, then someone introduced him to the wts, and it all stopped, would you still try and expose the cult even if they were actually helping and it was working?.

oldflame

If your child was about to fall off a cliff would you let them ? Answer : HELL NO

Jehovah's Witnesses---A Religion That Does Nothing For Anyone

by minimus in

jw
friends

the reality is: jehovah's witnesses benefit no one but themselves!.

they don't contribute to society.

they refuse to get involved in local interests because that would constitute violating their neutrality.. if sexual abuse allegations are made amongst their members, unless two witnesses can attest to the molestation, they refuse to get the "superior authorities" involved.. they claim to be doing their neighbors a "life saving" work but the reality is that they simply are pests to their "householders".. they are a tax free "religion" and they do not pay taxes.. they are judgmental people and regard the "world" as "worldly" and in the "power of the wicked one".. and if the individual members do not conform to the organization's dictates, they might very well be "shunned" and regarded as "dead".. why anyone would want to be a jehovah's witness is beyond me..

oldflame

Well I was going to be a smart ass minimus but you beat me to it. I was going to say " The reality is: Jehovah's Witnesses benefit no one but themselves! But you already said it.
