Last year when I was traveling out of state on the weekends to visit my girlfriend we would go with her family to the Sunday meeting at the Kingdom Hall. Of course nobody there knew I was disfellowshipped and apostate. So I had a blast shaking hands and exchanging laughs with the elders who were always very friendly and happy to see me.

What "born-again Christian" doctrines do you have a hard time swallowing?
by booker-t ini am curious about this question because i always had the impression that born-again christians believe everything the church teaches no matter what.
then i remember talking to a born-again friend of mine that was having a hard time with her pastor because he told her wearing "pants" and "jewelry" was a "sin" and she would go to hell for that.
my friend said she loved the church that she started going to but she was not going to give up wearing pants or jewelry.

Didn't Jesus say of Judas, Better had it have been had that man never been born?
Personally, I get a little offended when people tell me I put Jesus on the cross.

Question for Christians on this board!
by Greenpalmtreestillmine indo you believe the bible is the word of god?
i ask because i believe it's important for searching jws who come here to not only learn if there are christians here but also to hear from them personally what their thoughts on the bible are.
i believe the bible is the word of god, do other chriatians here also believe that?.

That's silly. Why would any Christians at all believe that the Bible is the word of God?

I dial up using my Timex Sinclair, 300 baud modem, 16K of RAM. It took me 3 hours after I hit "Reply" to get this window.

I didn't see it. I probably will never see it. The name "Ron Rhodes" especially turned me immediately off. Greg Stafford crushes Rhodes every time he gets within a sniff of him. Rhodes and other xtian fundies don't really "get" JWs and fail to offer valuable constructive remarks as impartial critics, such as AlanF, do.
To me, xtians and JWs basically believe in the same thing: an invisible man, in the sky, who sees all and knows pretty much all and some day, some time, will do something about whatever what. -

Murder is wrong because...

bradley.
ps...my english class debated this subject for an hour today without a consensus!

I guess that's why the Commandment says "thou shalt not murder," not "thou shalt not kill." Some killing is justified. Murder isn't, I suppose.
