im a long time lurker first time poster.

i am an open minded jw who believes in freeness of speech.

i love my faith and my worldwide brother and sisterhood (even though i see much room for improvement in how things are run).. i thought i would stir things up a bit with the following question:.

Hi Sola and welcome, I'll try to go easy. (GRIN) Would those in your congregation show you the same love if they knew that you were doubting the Organization or that you were posting on an appostate board? Or might their love come to a screaching halt because you showed a lack of loyalty? Just retorical questions to test and see if what you experiance at the Hall is the same love Jesus spoke of. The pharaisees of Jesus day probaly showed love among themselves, yet he criticized them for not showing it equally to others, like in the Parable of the good Samairitian. Do they (the Witnesses) show equal love to members of other churches that claim to follow Christ? seek2find

JW's - Satanic Cult or just wrong-headed religion?

by AK - Jeff in

the evils of the religion are well documented here and elsewhere - but does that prove to you that they are indeed 'satanic', under the direction of satan?

or are they just screwed up?

jeff .

seek2find

I wouldn't say directly Satanic Just messed up like a lot others. It's becomming my oppinion that all religions are man made and therefore messed up. I once heard it said that "being a Christian is about being in a relationship not a religion" Following Christ is the only way to go in my oppinion, if a Church helps you do that then good, but when the Church gets to demanding and requires members to follow them thats where you need to part company. Just my 2 cents seek2find

i invited my mom two months ago to my wedding.

she never responded and then today i get this.

what do you think of my reply?

seek2find

Renee, I think it would be hard for me to not say something like the following. "I pray to God that the day will come when his will will be done on earth and no longer will family relationships be destroyed by the teachings of men as ours has been." seek2find

What message would you like to say to anyone studying with the JW's?

by JH in

jw
friends

i'd say, beware, once you'll be baptized they won't treat you the same way.

they will expect a lot from you, and you'll never be free again to say what you think about the religon or even think for yourself.

they will control your life completely.

Ask the Teacher if they would be comfortable signing a document that says they Beleive Jesus alone is head of the Christian congregation and he ALONE is our LORD and Savior, not any organization. If he( She) disagrees, ask why and ask him (Her) to show full suport in the Bible that salvation comes from and Organization. It doesn't work this way for Jehovah's Witnesses. A witness cannot look to Jesus alone as Savior but must look also to the Organazation for salvation. The proof is in the second question ask at Baptism. THIS IS A FALSE TEACHING!!!!! seek2find

" Acts 4:12 Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved. " (NIV)

The Scent of a Woman!!!!

by AK - Jeff in

your intentions are good - entirely manly.

you step into the shower intent on grabbing a skin-drying manly soap - dial or zest or similar.. then it catches your eye - that little 'womanly scented' bath-bar.

you try and reach past it - to get the large man-size bar on the soap tray - but inexplicably you pick up the lady's perfumey soap.

seek2find

Jeff, I my case, I reach for the Bar of Manly soap only to find that its gone and hasn't yet been replaced so then I'm fumbling around with about 5 different plastic bottles trying to find something resembeling soap amongst the 3 different conditioners and 2 different shampoos. It's hard to tell without my glasses on, sometimes I just grab one and hope for the best. seek2find
