it sounded very funny when my little sister asked my mother during their weekly bible study (some 25 years ago) what would happened if satan repented?

my mom thought she was being a smart-ass and punished her for asking such thing.

but now that i think about it, can any of these fallen angels repent?

mraimondi

it makes most sense that only imperfect humans can repent - due to their imperfection.

that is why i was always taught adam and eve couldnt simply repent due to their actions not being able to be mistaken for disobedience.

i agree.

here are some real quotes.

"if you're not a born-again christian, you're a failure as a human being.

I agree. Here are some REAL quotes

"If you're not a born-again Christian, you're a failure as a human being." Jerry Falwell

"State Universities are breeding grounds, quite literally, for sexually transmitted diseases (including HIV), homosexual behavior, unwanted pregnancies, abortions, alcoholism, and drug abuse." Dr. James Dobson

"We should invade their countries, kill their leaders and convert them to Christianity. We weren't punctilious about locating and punishing only Hitler and his top officers. We carpet-bombed German cities; we killed civilians. That's war. And this is war."--Ann Coulter, This is War column, Sept. 13, 2001_

"And, I know that I'll hear from them for this. But, throwing God out successfully with the help of the federal court system, throwing God out of the public square, out of the schools. The abortionists have got to bear some burden for this because God will not be mocked. And when we destroy 40 million little innocent babies, we make God mad. I really believe that the pagans, and the abortionists, and the feminists, and the gays and the lesbians who are actively trying to make that an alternative lifestyle, the ACLU, People For the American Way - all of them who have tried to secularize America - I point the finger in their face and say 'you helped this happen'." Thursday, Sept. 13, 2001--Rev. Jerry Falwell, in an appearance on Pat Robertson's The 700 Club

"The feminist agenda is not about equal rights for women. It is about a socialist, anti-family political movement that encourages women to leave their husbands, kill their children, practice witchcraft, destroy capitalism, and become lesbians." -- Pat Robertson, fundraising letter, 1992

"The Jews are sinful, greedy, Hell-bound, money-grubbing sodomites; and they have dedicated their synagogue to be a gay and lesbian propaganda mill and recruiting depot, soliciting young people to sodomy." --Rev. Fred Phelps - Sept 7 1998, Westboro Baptist Church press release, re: protesting Jewish groups

"The 'wall of separation between church and state' is a metaphor based on bad history, a metaphor which has proved useless as a guide to judging. It should be frankly and explicitly abandoned." -- William Rehnquist, Dissenting Opinion in Wallace v. Jaffree (1985)

"The Media is ruled by Satan. But yet I wonder if many Christians fully understand that. Also, will they believe what the Media says, considering that its aim is to steal, kill, and destroy?" -- Rev. Jimmy Swaggart, The Evangelist, January 1988

"I want you to just let a wave of intolerance wash over you. I want you to let a wave of hatred wash over you. Yes, hate is good.... Our goal is a Christian nation. We have a Biblical duty, we are called by God, to conquer this country. We don't want equal time. We don't want pluralism."-- Randall Terry, quoted in The News-Sentinel, Fort Wayne, Indiana, August 16, 1993_

"We're going to bring back God and the Bible and drive the gods of secular humanism right out of the public schools of America." -- Pat Buchanan, campaign address at an anti-gay rally in Des Moines, Iowa, February 11, 1996

"A civil war is brewing in which we must deal with the Jews. It is a time of reckoning for their pact with the devil."--Robert G. Millar (1925-2001)

"We are going to remove the mythical separation of church and state."--Bishop Carlton Pearson

"Now when homosexuals, or adulterers, or fornicators, or pedophiles, or beast fornicators and beast suckers, or any sexual outlaws, parade themselves around as if they could be followers of Jesus Christ, they demonstrate a lie and blasphemy and abomination."--Neal Horsley

"We are to make Bible-obeying disciples of anybody that gets in our way."--Jay Grimstead, February 1987

"Nobody has the right to worship on this planet any other God than Jesus. And therefore the state does not have the responsibility to defend anybody's pseudo-right to worship an idol."--Rev. Joseph Morecraft, Chalcedon Presbyterian Church, Marietta, Georgia, quoted in "the Public Eye," June 1994

"Regrettably, the spirit of "tolerance" seems to have a strong grip upon the American psyche. It may take a family tragedy to awaken parents to the reality of what is happening to their sons. Will parents have to endure the trauma of discovering their son has been molested by a homosexual Scout leader or infected with AIDS before they realize that "tolerance" of homosexuality leads to death?" --Rev. Louis P. Sheldon

"We are approaching a time when Christians, especially, may have to declare the social contract between Enlightenment rationalists and Biblical believers - which formed the basis of the constitution written at our nation's founding - null and void." --Cal Thomas, conservative commentator; Washington Times, 1996-OCT-23

"The long-term goal of Christians in politics should be to gain exclusive control over the franchise. Those who refuse to submit publicly to the eternal sanctions of God by submitting to His Church's public marks of the covenant--baptism and holy communion--must be denied citizenship, just as they were in ancient Israel." -- Gary North - Political Polytheism: The Myth of Pluralism, Tyler, TX: I

"With all due respect to those dear people, my friend, God Almighty does not hear the prayer of a Jew."--Bailey Smith, a founding father of Robertson's Christian Coalition, June 26, 1994

"When the Christian majority takes over this country, there will be no satanic churches, no more free distribution of pornography, no more talk of rights for homosexuals. After the Christian majority takes control, pluralism will be seen as immoral and evil and the state will not permit anybody the right to practice evil."--Gary Potter, president of Catholics for Christian Political Action

"The Christian community has a golden opportunity to train an army of dedicated teachers who can invade the public school classrooms and use them to influence the nation for Christ." --D. James Kennedy, "Education: Public Problems and Private Solutions," Coral Ridge Ministries, 1993

we all know wt's view of "apostates"and disfellowshiped persons.

they grap from the old testament quotes that "god's people, isralites" stone to death the evil doers, even the unobedient children.

the first one to cast the stone was a close relative, parents, brothers, sisters.

mraimondi

i dont want to see anyone get stoned...

i just want the JWs to admit what they do to people, and their families... and liquidate all of their assets and give a piece to every single witness and ex-witness ;)

they would have to make some pretty severe doctrinal changes in order to justify this - including reversing their stance on "the ransom".

In other words, NO they WOULDNT.

"spiritual israel" its utterly and completely different than mosaic law-time ancient israel. Its not just a fuckin name you can transpose and transmute.

i think df'ed people think they are more important and hated than they are. at best, they are disliked, more likely, forgotten. You have to raise some hell to be remembered... me? I dont feel like wasting my time - however i hope to find something constructive to do damage to the system.

anyway, I cannot speak for every witness out there. There are some hateful mofos out there. But, overall, this would NOT happen.

they have caused me alot of pain, and annoyance. But they would never want to kill someone who was df'ed.
