Christians really are no different from JWs or any other cult.

They take pride in a hypocritical display of piety, but when you challenge their cherished beliefs with reason and facts and logic that they can't refute, they respond with vitriol.

This thread is irrefutable proof that the god of christian theism, the god of Jesus, does not exist. Countless possible refutations have been dealt with and exposed as vacuous.

You claim to have a higher than average IQ but your best response is to accuse me of being mentally ill and then to follow that up with an insult unworthy of a child.

Loopy Loo I used to believe in the god of Jesus with a passion. I understand why you are lashing out. The consequences of your beliefs being a delusion have no bearing on their veracity.

Why do JW's never pray for the Spirit of Jesus?

by Yesu Kristo Bwana Wangu in

i am new on this forum.

i have been associating with the jw's for three years, and was about to be baptised soon (next month).

however, i discovered on time that it is not right to do.

250000 died everyone dies they just died sooner rather than later - Loopy Loo

I assume you just wanted to claim the prize for the dumbest and most callous response in this thread. Well too bad there are are a few attempts to excuse god that are even more facile than that.

The more christian theists talk the more they expose how ugly their beliefs really are.

Exposed without mercy That says a lot about your nature Crofty I for one would not want nor value your respect i suspect you have a BPD and can't help yourself

I have not got a clue what you just said.

The challenge of this thread remains unanswered but thanks for playing.

OK who threw the stink bomb in here?

by Thisismein1972 in

come on a believer, everyone knows it was you so own up to it and teacher will not be cross!.

this is exactly what seems to be happening, a believer runs in drops the stink bomb and runs out again...only to pear around the door when he/she deems it safe to do so.

😅😅😅.

The JW makes the most sense to me because of my understanding of the Bible.

Like many ex-JWs you have put your most cherished beliefs off-limits. I made the same mistake and it took me 9 years to get around to examining the evidence regarding the bible.

The important question is not about which religion is true. The real question is far more fundamental than that.

A most interesting Christmas present

by JeffT in

jw
friends

so our daughter gave my wife and i a very nice family album of photos from the course of the year.

as we opened it, she said it had a surprise hidden in it, so we're watching for something to fall out.

about 2/3 or the way through it we hit an ultrasound print of a tiny baby.

Is it morally wrong to put Watchtower behind?

by Darkknight757 in

with our latest and final run in with the elders, the wife and i had a very long talk about what's next in our life.

do we try to help others see the light as it were concerning watchtower or do we just let it go and move on with our life?

we have made it perfectly clear that we will never go back to watchtower and we are finally happy.

one guy said that our baby loss was because "God knew we couldn't handle having a baby with Armageddon so close."

You don't need that kind of crass stupidity in your life.

Move on with a passion and don't look back.

Everybody is responsible for their own journey. Your priority is the happiness and success of yourself and your family. Maybe in years to come you will look back and decide you have something to say to JWs that might help. Enjoy your freedom and be happy.
