As Bon Jovi said in one song "You give love a bad name"
Religion has given God and spirituality a bad name!

What's the big deal with Jesus' "sacrifice"?
by bluesapphire inwhat was the big deal with that dam tree to begin with!

As some one already said "Love Jesus or he will f&*?g kill you!!"
Do you set rules for yourself, family members, or anyone else that you may in charge of?
Do you follow others rules whether gov't, family members such as father or mother, wife, mate, girlfriend/boyfriend, workplace?
So you and every other person can set or establish rules but not God, who created everything!
The stakes are much higher than what we can set!!!
Please explain.

Absolutely, when I first left and was DF'd for the first two years, I was so angry and disillusioned I could not even pray or read, then it hit me.
Why am I taking out on God and Christ what men did to me. I volunteered to join this man made religion, opted to stay in it for as long as I did. I realized then, it didnt matter what religion or what influence it took, just as long as I didnt search out the True God myself.
Then, is when I started my own personal Bible reading with a Prayful attitude and appreciated, that the God of the Bible who got in contact with the mind of the writers was also able to get in contact with my mind.
Do I understand everything, obviously NO, but I have come to appreciate my Creator and God and His Son in ways that 22 years as a witness never could or did.
Yes I believe in God more and more, my head is now right and I came to appreciate, I never did serve God but rather men, my faith was not in God but rather men, my strenght was never in God but men.
Men disappointed me, God hasn't but rather brought me through my trials and help me to see my major flaws with regard to my faith.

Sorry he's the one who started it by creating the universe a certain way that all human kind suffers because of the "sins" of two
And when it is all erased including the memory of it, even though He didn't cause all the pain, just watched and moved a little slower than you thought He should have, then what??

That would be Jehovah, in case you're interested.)
He actually said that? Or was it a man claiming to be a representive of Him and miss applied the scripture that true, He does own everything!!
It amazes me, people take out on God what men have done to them.

As Jesus said to Peter, Matt 16:23 23 Jesus turned to Peter and said, “Get away from me, Satan! You are a dangerous trap to me. You are seeing things merely from a human point of view, not from God’s.”
Hebrews 10:29-31 29 Just think how much worse the punishment will be for those who have trampled on the Son of God, and have treated the blood of the covenant, which made us holy, as if it were common and unholy, and have insulted and disdained the Holy Spirit who brings God’s mercy to us. 30 For we know the one who said,
“I will take revenge.
I will pay them back.” [h]He also said,
“The L ord will judge his own people.” [i]
31 It is a terrible thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
This is a serious thing to consider it as nothing. It may make us look great on the forum with a derogatory thread.

Throwing the Baby out with the Bathwater Goodbye Watchtower Hello Nothing?
by Magick inas witnesses who were deeply indoctrinated.
we accepted all of jehovah's witness teachings as a total package, it was "the truth".
there were no cracks in our armor that would allow other ideas, doctrines or thoughts to seep in.

Pounding On False Prophecy Hitting Home?
by metatron init may be coincidence, but i noticed that both the annual meeting and a recently reported bethel speaker brought up the matter of the.
watchtower's false predictions, a bit more openly than usual.
a potentially dangerous perception may be emerging ( hooray!).
