25So, here's a new definition of 'apostacy'
by ItsMyLife inif you allow your child to have a part in the nativity play, it's apostacy.
even if the child just stands there, dressed as a an animal.
with no lines.. even if you've been inactive for several months.. talk about extremes and emotional blackmail!.

by fulltimestudent ina bishop of the apostolic church (grandiose title, isn't it?
) in the cook islands, wants to ban local indians who are hindu's from celebrating their diwali festival.. he claims its blasphemy against the christian god, and that because the cooks islands is a christian country, no other form of worship should be permitted.. gotta love your average christian, don't you?
if they are banned or persecuted, they scream their heads off, but as soon as they control things they want to ban any alternative worship.. cooks bishop condemns diwali celebration as blasphemyupdated 15 november 2013, 14:52 aest.

5go- Do you mean the christians who acknowledge the Bible is flawed and accept modern science on the origin of the universe and life on this planet.
When I say fundies I mean those people of all walks of life (mainly politcal parties) and religions that look down on others who do not meet their level of moral pruirty, or have their unique beliefs and require the extermination in one form or another of all those that won't conform to those morals and beliefs. Either by human means through a holocaust, or divine means through an apocalypse. Both are the same thing, ways to get rid of those impure ones that won't get with the program.

I have discovered recently that there is a diffrence between Christians and Fundies. I like Christians they are cool, Fundies on the other hand are the guys that send people to death camps no matter what religion the fundies belongs too, Christian, Muslim, Hindu, etc. They tend to call themselves the true belivers and look down other members of their own religion saying either they are blank in name only or not blank at all. BTW does that line of thinking ring a bell a couple of times?

Could there really be something to the UFO phenomena? Amazing documentary
by yadda yadda 2 init's easy to just poo-poo the ufo thing, especially if you're naturally very skeptical after your jw experience as i am, but when you see documentary's like this it seems undeniable that some kind of inexplicable phenomenon is occuring.
.
could vehement deniars of the ufo phenomenon please suspend their criticisms until they've at least watched the whole documentary, to be fair to others who are more open-minded on this subject.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rjismjxshpg.

Yadda Yadda
No one is immune to seeing things they can't explain and then trying to make up some thing to explain them thats way has no basis in fact. Fact is they can't explain what they have seen and have no valid hypothesis as to what it could be. They are making a guess that it is ETL, but it very well could be an angel or a demon as the is no evidence to rule anything out or in. They saw some lights, got a some radar feed back, had a clock failure, and recorded them (I think I covered all alien encouter bases there) that is all it was until I see real proof otherwise. I need DNA a clear picture of the alien and or craft that can pass test to prove it's not fake. So far I have not seen any in the 34 years I have been alive, I have seen some good and convincing fakes.

I hold believers in ETL to the same level I hold believers in God too. Show me real hard evidence not some horrible footage or barely credible evidence.

I was shocked at how the old NWT pretty much mirriors what all the other bibles say and how much the new NWT has bent it to make it say something it clearly doesn't. I bet this is the new go to scripture for desention.

NWT btw and the NIV says ruffly the same.
nor to pay attention to false stories+ and to genealogies. Such things end up in nothing useful+ but merely give rise to speculations rather than providing anything from God in connection with faith.
The Daily Text says
[Do not] pay attention to false stories . . . which furnish questions for research. WTF
It was funny because he wrote it.
Do not pay attention to false stories . . . which furnish questions for research as such things end up in nothing useful but merely give rise to speculations rather than providing anything from God.
I was like it couldn't of said that just looking at it without a bible in hand then I pulled up a site with the NIV and broke out laughing.

It's weakness is the R&F weakness to admit to the public at large they are witnesses. I found this out the hard way recently the guy that outed hadn't told anyone at work he was a witness, now they know. The R&F know this is all BS and try to hide the fact they are JWs becuase they are affraid to questioned on things and what and why they believe what they believe. I don't know of to many other religions with this problem. In fact must people don't have a problem saying what they are if nothing else than being general. Witnesses can't do that.
Now I on the other hand I have no problem saying I am an ex witness and why.
