Jesus is God
by SwedishChef inhere is a large collection of verses which prove the deity of christ:.
isaiah 6-7 6. for unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called wonderful, counseller, the mighty god, the everlasting father, the prince of peace.
7. of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of david, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever.

Why weren't the young boys taken as slaves?
Boys grow up to be men who can avenge their family's deaths.
Farkel, there are much better topics you can use if you wish to try and discredit the bible. Your Numbers 31 argument is real weak.

Wouldn't a 25 year old woman make a better sex slave than an eleven year old girl??????? What kind of freaky world are you living in, Farkel? A little girl would certainly make a more docile slave than a grown woman.

Mackin,
Thank you for explaining your view of 'rabid'. I wonder if the original poster is even an ex-jw. I know that if I was trying to get a JW or X-JW to covert to Christianity, the Deity of Christ would be the last topic I would discuss. The problem with most Christians is that they are offended by Athiests. I am not offended by someone exercising their own choices. As a Christian, I feel compelled to share the gospel of Christ, but there is a huge difference between share and 'ram down someone's throat'

Farkel,
I believe this post is about the Deity of Christ. How did you get to Child Rape? Can anybody spell R-E-D H-E-R-R-I-N-G?

How did I try to change the subject? You spoke of CHILD rape. I defined CHILD. I would prefer that you did not use profanity when responding to me. I would not do that to you. I've read Numbers, BTW. Your profanity and insult slinging is the only red herring I see.

I am a Born Again Christian, and I don't consider myself to be rabid. I find that most biblical discussions with people who have no belief or faith in the bible are basically pointless. A better way to share the gospel with Atheists and Jehovah's Witnesses is to live what the gospel teaches. Display love at all times to your enemies and to your friends.
When people ask me why I am the way I am, I tell them its because of my accepting Jesus, and allowing the Holy Spirit to operate in my life.
Farkel, I think that is a bit of a stretch with the whole bible supporting child rape. While in our society a female is not considered a woman until 18, in ancient societies a female was considered to be a woman following her first menstrual period (which can occur as young as nine years old).

GB disassociates itself!!
by lulu indear brothers:
as you have admitted, the watch tower bible & tract society did join the united nations as a non government organization in 1992 ending in 2001, and according to the following watch tower this means that by their own actions they disassociated them selves from jehovahs organization which means that we must treat them like disfellowshiped ones.
in other words they are no longer jehovahs witnesses or have any right to that name.

Friday,
The thing to remember about this whole UN thing is that the Society has disfellowshipped people and caused them to lose their lives over lesser infractions than their UN affiliation. I've never heard a JW refer to himself as rank and file, but as you state yourself, the rank and file have had their lives destroyed (shunned by entire family) for saying a greeting to a disfellowshipped person. There is nothing they can do to justify their UN involvement, that's why they simply pulled out and didn't offer much of an explanation to anyone, including the rank and file.
Also, Jesus wouldn't condemn his followers for wanting his return, however he would condemn them for their Pharasaical rules. He would also condemn them for not showing love.
Reborn, you are my hero. I enjoy your posts.

Have you joined another religion?
by freedom96 ini don't think i will never join another organized religion.
that being said however, i have enjoyed going on occasion to non-denominational churches, watching the band play music, and the speaker.
if you did or would attend another church regularly, which one would you go to and why?

Yes. I am a member of a progressive Apostolic church. I love it, but I didn't lose my faith in the bible when I left JWs. I actually discovered what the bible really says once I left. The thing I really love about my church is that if the pastor says something that I don't biblically agree with, I can ask questions and disagree without being shunned. When I first left JWs I visited many churches before I found one that I liked.
For all the non-Christians on the board. Guess what? Jesus still loves you.
I'm just messing with y'all! Don't attack me.

What did you do to piss the brothers off?
by Pleasuredome inwhen you were getting fed up with meetings before you gave up, was there anything you did to deliberately get on the brothers nerves?.
i turned up to a meeting once with jeans on, and a red top with cccp on it with the 'hammer and sickle'.
i also went to another bs group a few times so that if i wasnt at one group they'd think i was at the other and vice versa.

I didn't do this deliberately to piss them off, but they were pissed anyhow. I used to fall asleep at the bookstudy. I was twenty one and had just started a job at the post office carrying mail. I would come to the bookstudy in my letter carrier uniform (dirty) and promptly go right to sleep. Sometimes the conductor would tell someone to wake me. I was just trying to make sure I didn't miss any meetings. I should've just gotten my much needed rest.
