  Would you call this a double standard on God's part?

  exodus 20: 13 - you shall not murder.. vs. exodus 12: 29 - at midnight the lord struck down all the firstborn in egypt, from the firstborn of pharaoh, who sat on the throne, to the firstborn of the prisoner, who was in the dungeon, and the firstborn of all the livestock as well.. i believe this is a classic case of "do what i say, not as i do.".

  Who the hell is this murderous god you refer to? He doesn't hang out in my neighborhood.

  Possibly just dormant, waiting on something....

  Can You Now Clearly See That You Were In A Cult?

  the longer away from "the truth", the easier it is to see that i was in a "cult"..

  For the longest time I wanted to convince myself that it was not a cult, but just a large group of over-zealous people.

  That mindset has since passed, especailly after reading the Dec 15th 2010 Watchtower. The GB is definitely tightening the grip as of late.

  That being said, I really believe that the GB are just like the Rank and File, duped men themselves.

  i was walking around town and a guy on a bike comes up to and shoves a cardboard bum sign in my face with "jesus is the only way" written in classy sharpy marker.. check out this scripture:.

  john 14: 6 - jesus answered, "i am the way and the truth and the life.

  no one comes to the father except through me.. according to this scripture the guy's sharpy message was correct.. do you believe this message?.

  (I'm still thinking on this a bit, so please bear with me)

  Tammy, I have to tip my hat to you. You really are a thinker and go at the Bible with a fairly open mind. I really admire this.

  I think you have become the first Christian I actually like.

  I find it ironic that a prohibition on murder is only 8 chapters after God's infanticide.
