  Can you refute these?

  1. are jesus and michael the archangel really the same person?.

  one of the most peculiar of the wtss teachings is their assertion that jesus is actually michael the archangel.

  " in acts 10:19-20, this "impersonal force" considers himself to be a person.

  I wish there were no pain in my life.

  Willy - If you find the origin of your pain you can eradicate it. It wasn't until I let go of the botchtower teacings that fear and pain began to subside for me. I then began to look within and find out why I was still carrying all that hurt around ... it's about self-discovery. If I can't understand myself then how can I be effective in life? Question: If your faith in the bible is so sure then why the pain anyway??? Why do Christians accept pain and suffering as a way of life? I don't believe it's supposed to be that way ... at least not for me.

  , 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.

  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!

  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...

  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!

  LOVE is the sign

  by LouBelle in

  in my jc meeting i kept on at the elders about love.

  that there was no love being shown in the congregations & even toward me on how they were dealing with the whole situation & towards my mother.

  i mentioned that there were only 2 commandments given to us - 1. to love god & 2. to love our neighbour.

  Go deeper child into That which is closest and most intimate. See if you can find any blemish, boundary or division here that could prevent It from being the very embodiment of Love. Stop reducing God to a thing, deity or object. Then you will have nothing for the mind to grasp and place far away. Discover what is right here, right now. Realize what you really are and have always been. Discover what has no beginning and no end."

  Thank you James! Very well said .

  Religion is not about unity but disunity. If EVERYONE would ascribe to the doctrine of love, the world would be a better place.

  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

  sometimes I calls em as I sees em....certainly YOU wouldn't take offense.

  michelle

  You calls em as U sees um huh? So, you think you know me and my heart ... THAT'S WHY I DO NOT SUBSCRIBE TO ANY RELIGION ... U THINK U KNOW PEOPLE WHEN U DON'T!

  Do yourself a favor and get an education. Your posts are almost incoherrent!

  And no, I am not offended. How can a detached stranger have any REAL affect on me? (Go ahead, find a scripture to quote on that one, since you obviously have a difficult time THINKING FOR YOURSELF!)

  Are young JWs staying in or moving out of the borg?

  by zagor in

  really, just wondering if new generation of dubs is mostly faithful or tempted to try it all out.

  are they faithful to the mother borg or are they starting to question it all.

  i mean 10 to 20 years ago it took ages to come across some undesirable info about the borg, but now it is everywhere.

  It's been several years since I left the b0rg, but when I was in, the young people were having a lot more fun than they were supposed to . Those who married young were often mismatched and miserable (and it showed). Most either divorced or seperated then one or both wound up leaving. It's almost impossible to live down a bad reputation there ... may as well keep on moving and enjoy a normal life.

  The internet is helping people to move on after they come out (like me )!

  well....Assuredly, I say to you, it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorah in the day of judgment than for that city!

  michelle

  Judgements from men fall on deaf ears. My relationship with the Lord has nothing to do with U and your application/interpretations of this or any other scripture. Done with JW judgementalism, done with judgemental people period. Have a nice life and I'll certainly continue doing the same. Sweet Tee
