  Jehovah's Witnesses ARE Christians, why do so many ex JW's deny this?

  by nicolaou in

  jehovah's witnesses accept jesus as christ, the son of god.

  they try, in their own way, to live by his teachings and imitate him.

  they pray, read the bible and meet together regularly for worship.. i won't minimise any of the harm and damage they cause but for the life of me, i can't see how anyone can credibly deny that they are christians.. why do so many former jws have a problem with this?

  For me, it's because their cult puts its confidence that salvation is inextricably tied to being a devotee and obedient to a group of men, and conformity to changing rules. Not just to their acceptance to men or a religious group, but stating that such obedience is required by God for salvation, notwithstanding that their requirements and stated understandings are relatively fluid and sometimes difficult to keep up with, as well.

  Christians are supposed to follow and put their confidence in Jesus, not just pay lip service to following Jesus while jumping to do the bidding of men who require things of them not even suggested by Jesus.

  They are not alone in denominational salvation teachings, but they are not even subtle- and many churches are promoting Samaritan type work while JWs mock it, mock mercy and mock charity in general. How that is Christian is beyond me.

  the big day is two days away when she will say "i do".

  i knew this day would come someday but as a mom you just want to hold on even though i did everything to train her to be very independent.

  she has been making most of her own decisions since middle school.. she moved away 5 years ago but still was totally mine till 2 years ago when mr. wonderful appeared in her life.

  "I'm sorry that you and your spouse are having troubles and need to speak to the elders. I'm sure that you will soon be back in good standing and all of our friends can socialize with you again. You will be in our prayers."

  You could go to the elders, get her in a JC (you have her tablet which is proof of her doubts) and see how the truth of Jehovah's spirit works on those elders.

  That is my evil thought. She wrote those things down. If there is no mention of you, then they are presumably, her thoughts.

  Trump is throwing it or desperate so far as the Bill Clinton references go. He is such a creepy little worm.

  Shane realised he had a close call! He saw the hypocrisy of it all and accepted a job transfer out of town and faded out of the organisation.

  Pruyere. Yum. overall fave.

  Best cheese found in unexpected place was a cheddar, sharp, at a cheese counter at Lebnan square in cairo. It was cheap, In a big block that I'd point at and they'd cut it. So delicious, and after a bad bout of food poisoning (dont eat a green salad in Egypt unless you prepare it yourself) it may have kept me from starving. swiss is good sometimes but often disappoints. parmesan is good. Intense and works almost everywhere.

  Folks, JWs and olds can't unite. While the LDS collect tithes, they actually provide aid and assistance to the community and each other. They encourage higher education. They are a lot more likely to be well adjusted and successful than JWs. I think recruiting wise, they are not any more successful than JWs, but they have the added advantage of not requiring shunning or expulsions. Being a "Jack" Mormon(non churchgoing/non observant) or ex mormon May put up a barrier if you are living way outside the boundaries of society or frequently badmouthing the church or God or are flamboyant gay, but just leaving, even joining another church is not a reason, in 2016 to wholesale reject your company or keep u out of family Christmas parties. Christmas being another incompatibility with the JWs. Those people like Halloween like crazy, too.

  Plus, if you are nice, the missionaries might offer to mow your lawn or fix your car. I missed it, but yesterday the guys came by and changed the next door ladies tire after she mentioned she was calling the auto club. No JW would do that. Not even to witness.
