  I won't be listening ... because I have a strong emotional connection to my beliefs.

  If only more believers were as honest.

  cofty, what do you recommend for Betty to do? - BRJ

  Every exJW should focus of education, career, hobbies, family, friends, fun etc. Leave the big questions aside for long time until you are ready to come back to them much later.

  Church is the last thing any exJW needs.

  Christ loves...........why do you hate him? - BRJ

  I don't hate imaginary things. I oppose people who try to foist their superstitions on other vulnerable people.

  the love of Christians is the answer - BRJ

  Outside the cult there are many great people who won't judge you for not believing ridiculous things like they do.

  You could show a little tiny bit of respect for other people's beliefs occasionally - rebel

  I respect others too much to go along with their delusions.

  especially when they show up on the forum hurting

  Don't worry, I know BettyBoo very well. Church is the last thing she wants.

  God created us in his image, which would give us his genetic ability

  What do you mean by "genetic ability"?

  would we not be the creators of life on Mars if we can do that?

  No. Why would we engineer new organisms when earth is teeming with millions of species already, many of whom thrive in the most extreme environments?

  would not that life no matter how simple be able to become self aware by Darwinist evolutionary theory?

  No. Bacteria and archaea have been on earth for 4 billion years. They show no signs of becoming self-aware

  
  

  he first astronaut to set foot on the planet will be highly evolved life, not microbes, so Darwin's theory is dead at this point.

  How did you make that connection? An astronaut goes to Mars and somehow that disproves evolution!

  Do you have a whole collection of those platitudes?

  NO BRJ is hijacking the thread by advising an exJW to go to church and find Jesus.

  Not going to let that sort of bullshit pass unchallenged ever.

  Only if you want to use words carelessly.

  Christians believe there is only one god - the god and father of Jesus christ.

  Scientists are not gods by any sensible definition of the word.

  Jesus will save everyone from becoming a JW, provided that are not conned by the JW's

  So will he or won't he?

  Were you ever a JW BRJ or did Jesus tell you to come here to preach?

  Jesus Christ is very much alive in the homes and hearts of 2.2 billion Christians

  Interesting metaphor.

  Muhammad is alive in the homes and hearts of 1.6 billion Muslims.

  The love that they have for his teachings is as immortal as the Son of God himself

  Well I was a born-again, saved, adopted son of god for almost a decade after I left the cult. So it turned out not to be an immortal love.

  introduce her to the real Christ that saves people everyday

  Saves people from what exactly?

  evolution is as far as we know Gods best work

  Evolution has no need for a god.
