insight on the scriptures volume 1,p.787expellingone who was cast out as wicked, cut off entirely, would be considered worthy of death, though the jews might not have the authority to execute such a one.

nevertheless, the form of cutting off they did employ was a very powerful weapon in the jewish community.

jesus foretold that his followers would be expelled from the synagogues.

what is your stance on the devil, satan, demons etc?

personally i find the concept of the devil as presented in scripture to be purely symbolic of humankind's ability to chose to do good or evil.

the development of a moral compass unique to each person.. with many ancient beliefs, people tried to humanize concepts in order to better understand.

Were you ever afraid of demons?

hello everyone, my story is a unique one i suppose but here it goes.,, ever since i was a little boy whenever i would voice my objections about this religion my parents would tell me im making satan happy and that i'm inviting demons into are house by saying and thinking things like this.

my parents are such religious fanatics that it seems like nothing i do can ever be good enough for them.

to this day they always claim that they come down hard on me like this because "they're trying to protect me".

i've always noticed that when jw's, my inactive hubby included, notice someone is christian, they hate it.

they roll their eyes, snort, or make snide remarks.

i really pissed me off once when my mom in law told my hubby that if she had known why the older ladies wanted to by some of her plants for, she wouldn't have sold them to them.
