former jehovah's witness.
Today!
how many of you ex-jw kids were able to believe in mainstream christianity after leaving the borg?
within the last year, i have opened up to getting to know god again.
what's funny is that when i prayed for truth and to know god, i knew and had a real feeling in my heart that i was getting closer to something real, but there was still a voice going, "hey, it's me jehovah, and you have rejected me!".
You will never see the contradictions in your faith because you are a new breed of Christian that has adapted to survive in a modern world. This has more to do with evolution and survival than Christianity. Your faith will always make sense to you but it is a long way from Christianity and God as described in the Bible.
Trevor:
Perhaps you are misunderstanding BurnTheShips because you do not understand the Catholic and Eastern Orthodox perspective. Catholicism and her Eastern Orthodox counterpoint are the MOST ANCIENT Christian religions.
Catholic belief stands on three things equally: Holy Scripture, Holy Tradition, and the Teaching Authority of the Church.
Jesus did not write a book, he established a Church. He did not send forth the Apostles to write, he sent them forth to preach. The writing was done, of course, and then it was assembled and verified and preserved BY THE CHURCH.
Sola Scriptura is the new idea -- it is only about 500 years old. Sola Scriptura has resulted in the fracturing of the Christian congregation into thousands of sects, each claiming to have the correct interpretation of the Bible.
The Bible is inerrant and is meant to be interpreted by the Church that Jesus Christ established.
Not a new idea, rather a very old idea.

Ima:
I so relate to what you are saying. Congratulations for finding a real relationship with Our Lord Jesus Christ!!
I was baptized, confirmed, and received Holy Communion this past March. It truly was, as you say, heaven!! Indeed, as a Roman Catholic, I believe that Heaven and Earth meet at each and every Mass ;-)
Thank you for your upbuilding testimony. It is my prayer that more of our brothers and sisters who have escaped the Watchtower will be able, by the Grace of God, to come into full communion with other Christians.
Feel free to IM me if you would like to talk off-board about any of these things.
Your sister in Christ,
Ruth

out of all religions, catholicism, to me, is wrong and clearly could never be the truth.
