They're a bunch of a-holes. If that equates to Christian then okay.
back when i was about 14 i was approached by an elder that i considered a friend.
in hindsight it is obvious that he was "assigned to me" to encourage baptism.
he told me that he got baptized because it was the "right thing to do.
Some of the worst actions in the history of humankind were done because people were tricked into thinking it was the right thing to do.
Not saying that getting baptised is comparable to some things that come to my mind but the point still stands.
this is kinda along the lines of my favorite who told the real lie in gen 3.. i was watching the movie 'the bible' the other night (couldn't sleep.
) i was looking at its depiction of cain and thought cain is being pigeoned holed.
now i am not condoning murder and the actions of cains rage.
The god of the OT is a real a-hole.

Nope, it won't d. If the failed 75 prediction didn't do it already, this certainly won't. This article is just more of Satan's lies and slander. Of course those lies and slander are only against the JW's, not the other ones mentioned.
maybe outlaw can- he has experience with strange objects in the sky.
so far scientists are puzzled by the two suns eye witness reports.
is it a sign from god?
Penn and Teller did a BS episode about end of the world theories. One of them was the Planet X theory. There's no convincing proof from any legitimate scientists that Planet X will destroy us all.
i've read some random articles of late and have found a recurring factor which could well be answered effectively by many of the posters here.
basically the notion relates to what makes one vulnerable to indoctrination into a high-control religious cult and goes lke this .
while most, if not all humans seek group approval and association to some degree .
I was raised in the JW's. Childhood indoctrination. Didn't stick though...
i'm curious about what made you realize that your ex-religion was not "true"?.
i've had discussions with many religious people, and they're always trying to protect their beliefs, rather than allowing anything i say challenge what they believe.
was there ever something someone said to you, or something you read that maybe made you doubt your beliefs for the first time, or had a similar effect?.
As years went by I had many things add up that didn't seem right. I went about doing research. I ended up here and these fine people helped me to see my doubts really were legitimate and that I had been lied to.
i tried to do a minimum 30 hours a month field service.
however, if we had only been allowed to count the time of "the actual conversations" we had with householders at the door i wonder what the real figure would be?.
i think mine would easily have been less than 1 hour per month.
Thank the great Lord Jehober I don't have to go in field service anymore.
how many of the ten commandments... does the wbt$ break everyday?...
the wbt$ has set themselves up as spokesman for god..jesus is out of a job..in watchtower world..the wbt$=god.
all images are forbidden in watchtower world..except the watchtower image... the wbt$ gods name jehovah,is a 14th century catholic translation mistake... the wbt$ doesn`t like jw`s to take sundays off..screw the sabbath... .
