That's my opinion, anyway.
Yes it is.

petespal2002 condemns another man to "hell?"
I speak what I believe to be true and that justifies HIS condemnation? If I have condemned another, show me please. If not, I believe it may be you that has maybe put his life on the line by your own words of condemnation?
Matt 12:37
37 For by your words you will be acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned."
Luke 6:37
"Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven."1 Cor 4:3-5
3 I care very little if I am judged by you or by any human court; indeed, I do not even judge myself. 4 My conscience is clear, but that does not make me innocent. It is the Lord who judges me. 5 Therefore judge nothing before the appointed time; wait till the Lord comes. He will bring to light what is hidden in darkness and will expose the motives of men's hearts. At that time each will receive his praise from God. -

showing the truth
by Realist in.
since getting disfellowshipped or leaving the wt is obviously an extremely difficult and painful experience should one try to convince believing jwses that their believe-system is wrong?
am i right or not that it might be better not to try to put doubts on their minds ??

I'm confident in my salvation.
Rom 3:4
Let God be true, and every man a liar.
2 Cor 10:12-13
We do not dare to classify or compare ourselves with some who commend themselves [I'm saved]. When they measure themselves by themselves ["I'm confident in my salvation."] and compare themselves with themselves ["I'm confident in my salvation."] , they are not wise.
James 4:14-16
14 Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes. 15 Instead, you ought to say, "If it is the Lord's will, we will live and do this or that." 16 As it is, you boast and brag. All such boasting is evil.
Gal 6:14
May I never boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.
2 Cor 11:30-31
If I must boast, I will boast of the things that show my weakness. -

The writers of the bible & Jesus
by Ginosko inmore than 20 years ago, before i baptised, i reached the conclusion that the words of the bible are not inspired by god but only the global ideas.
the reason why i reached that conclusion is based on hebrews 6:18 "through to unchageable things in which it is imposible for god to lie" and the title of a famous book written by the jw.
the idea i developed was the following: if there are things in which is impossible for god to lie ,then, by extension there are things in which is possible for god to lie, which is not proper for an ethically perfect god.

When I write about differing topics and stories, I use differing words for each topic.
Each topic would demand it's own vocabulary as it is with ANY author, man or God. Differing PENCILS I used would have it's own character. So with each man called to be used by Him.

Why did Jesus didn't write personally some of the books of the bible?
I believe he wrote the whole Bible.
He picked up men like I pick up a #2 pencil.

I have been married for 21 years with my soulmate, with 4 spectacular children.
I have never had relationship problems. Ever. It is a foreign thought to me.
I understand my vision totally...I'm not looking for interpretation.
It was an amazing spectacle though...I will say that.
I know it will be fulfilled.
I know it.
