witness "poem" with scriptures sited... what would you say?
by New light for you ina dear friend, who found out i left 'the truth' sent me this poem, and was actually sweet about it and said that if i ever wanted to come back jehovah and the brothers and sisters would lovingly take me back and the angels would rejoice (after they put me thru hours of committee meetings for celebrating holidays and birthdays and then dfed me, but after that they'd rejoice).. anyway, reading the poem... made me remember (only left a year and a half ago) how great of an idea it all was.
wouldn't it have been great to be true instead of a whole elaberate freakin lie?
anyway.. whith all these "scriptures sited" how could you dispute it???

MEGS In regards to that third heaven thing, a friend of mine left JWs recently and one of the reasons was that this was not explained properly. I did some checking and apparently the JW interpretation is same as yours. The best I can figure they ware just grasping at straws trying to come up with a good reason. I figure a person does not need a reason to come and go. Why do I have to explain my life to anyone? So I don't get what the whole point of "showing me the light" was. Anyway, since you seem to have some religious education, tell me this. Why do people want to be "saved" so badly, whatever that means? What are they getting saved from? And to what? What is the point anyway? Personally I've lost all my will to live anyway. There is nothing I can accomplish that dying won't arase, so why bother? Just don't get it.

MEGS That is a very curious explanation which may bring up a couple of questions if you don't mind. Let me look into it and please check back here in a day or two.

MEGS Point taken. You seem to be well versed in the bible, although I never said if I personally believe it or not. For instance, I never understood, there was something in the new part about third heaven, what ever that is, makes no sense to me. Anyway, what I found confusing, it sounded like NLFY was knowingly going against the book but wanted to "dispute" based on the same book. There are arguments for and against every religion, cult, belief, dogma, etc. in the world. Everybody tells me they can "save" me but noone can show me how. Now I'm just rambling.......T.T.F.N.

MEGS Please don't be petty. I think it was clear what i was getting at. For instance if you break a bible command, you've gone against what it says, which meant you've made a choice not to believe the book. I'm not familiar with the bible enough to pick particulars but I know it says something about not killing, not worshipping Jesus, and not sleeping around. I'm sure there is some limits set on holidays for the dead too. Discuss, not argue.

So now I'm confused. You said it's all a big elaborate lie. Why would you need to dispute it if it's all a lie? You obviously don't believe the bible if you celebrate holidays, unless there is a new version with santa claus and the big pumpkin. Don't take this the wrong way, I'm not attacking you, but I would like to understand the question. Here is the problem. I can take any book in the world and write a poem based on the passages in this particular book. But unless you yourself believe that my book is absolutely true, then anything based on it has no meaning to you. Now if you celebrate holidays that are not in the bible as you said, then you cannot possibly believe in this book or anything based on it. Therefore there is nothing to dispute, right? None of this matters in the grand scheme of things anyway, but since there is no scheme......Well, I'm just confused. Imagine there is nothing, and we are all dreaming in Matrixxxxxxxxxxxx.........
