HQ LURKs here! They're LAUGHING at us in Bethel! "Ah, look at the apostates imploding! Another prophesy fulfilled!" If you don't think they monitor this site to take the apostates' temperature, you're more naive than I am. They'll use this against us for sure.
Geez, aren't we smarter than that???

reading one of the other threads got me thinking.
what is the root of anti-catholic sentiment.
i was raised a catholic, still catholic, and have never heard a good reason why some people dislike catholicism.
Let me try to sum up what I believe the essence of clash's post is:
Theoretically I could be the biggest scumbag on earth lie cheat steal and still be saved if I BELIEVE
If you believed, you wouldn't be such a big scumbag.

now that you know about the truth of the blood doctrine, would you feel, even a little bit uncomfortable agreeing to take a blood transfusion?
btw, my mother asked me if i would still honor her wishes for refusal of blood.
i told her that even though my view has changed, i would respect her decision, even if i felt that it was wrong.
Hi there!
So you want to know about quirks? Here goes:
1. Witnesses can't celebrate birthdays. Anniversaries are OK.
2. They claim to be Christian, but their members are not allowed to partake of the wine and bread. Only a few select Witnesses are allowed to do so, the rest can just look at them and pass them around.
3. They believe in a mother organization, who is their mediator, not Jesus like it says in the Bible.
4. This organization is all powerful, and if you leave it for any reason you lose your family because they will shun you, I mean really shun you to the point if they see you on the street they will turn their head away.
5. Everybody but Witnesses are going to be cruelly destroyed by God any minute now at Armageddon. God will take care of the tens of millions of dead bodies by use of carrion birds who will eat out the corpses' eyes and flesh.
6. The organization controls every aspect of your life, including what goes on in married people's bedrooms.
7. They believe that you run the risk of demon possession if you shop at garage sales.
8. They protect child molesters. Often, when an abused child reports abuse, they are told they need two eye-witnesses before anything can be done. Often, they are shunned for coming forward.
Any more, anyone?
Good luck on your report. Tell your schoolmates to be careful of these folks.
Hugs, V
i grew up as a witnness, and was baptised, but currently not attending.
recently a witness woman stopped by my house.
she offered the magazines.
Please tell me you're joking, that this is satire, please?
I can't believe a member of ANOTHER CULT would come to THIS support site to drum up converts.
Haven't you read A WORD OF WHAT'S BEING SAID HERE??? Sorry for shouting.
this is just an update on an earlier post about jw youth dies in car crash.
long story short, he was killed when his car struck a pole because he fell asleep at the wheel.
his father had recently kicked him out of the house (he was only 18) becuase he was missing meetings.

That father is going to have nightmares for the rest of his life.

Praying to Mary or asking mary to pray for us or Respect for mary, but Worship Mary would be wrong.
Where in the Bible does it say to pray to a human being?
Celebacy is just a way to make someone sin.
AMEN.
. WTF is a mass card??? Is this related to indulgences.??
I don't know what an indulgence is. All my life whenever someone dies all my Catholic relatives send Mass cards. It's a card you buy and it goes to a convent or a church somewhere where the name of the deceased is put on a prayer list, on the assumption that if you pay enough people to pray hard enough, the deceased's time in purgatory will be lessened and they can then shoot on up to heaven.
4. The Inquisition 5. The Crusades Carries embarrassment even after a thousand years. Obviously they didnt wait on Yahweh
LOL! Obviously not!!!
The fact that, as a baptized Christian, I am not welcome to accept communion. Well, if you openly maintain that youre not a catholic, well?
Thing is, I consider myself a Christian. Catholics are welcome to accept communion in my church, but we are not allowed to accept it in a Catholic church because we are not considered 'real Christians' because we don't belong to the "one true church." Yet another example of one religion claiming to be the ONLY one. Where have I heard that one before??
Also, what's up with the Mass and all the Confessions?
Thank you, I forgot that one! Yeah, I can't stomach that I must be forgiven for my sins by a human being before God will consider my salvation.
Like I said, I don't hate Catholics. I just feel they're being manipulated by a man-made organization, and I have some basic problems with that! I feel the same way about ANY religion that does this, I'm not singling out Catholics, (although this is a Bash the Catholics thread, LOL).

WHAM! I bashed 'em! Mmmm!
Oooh. That felt good. Thanks. Ahem. Now then.
I'm an Episcopalian, which is as close to Catholic you can get without being Catholic.
What I don't like:
1. INFALLIBILITY of the Pope. Excuse me, can anyone say GOVERNING BODY? (Oops, didn't mean to shout. Then again, maybe I did?)
2. Worship of Mary. Biblical basis???
3. The fact that they believe that the bread and wine served at Communion ACTUALLY BECOMES the flesh and blood of Christ instead of symbolizing it. Ewww.
4. The Inquisition (except for Mel Brooks version in History of the World Part 1, LOL)
5. The Crusades, and burning people at the stake
6. The fact that, as a baptized Christian, I am not welcome to accept communion in a Catholic church because I am not Catholic. Remember the flap when Baptist Bill Clinton took communion, right after the Monica thing exploded? That priest took Holy Hell for that, giving a non-Catholic the bread and wine. Hoo boy! Can anyone say "EMBLEMS??" [ducking for cover and LMAO]
7. What do you mean I can't use birth control????
8. What do you mean I can't divorce my abusive husband? Oh, but I can BUY an annulment. Hmmm.
9. Pedophile priests. And what the freak's up with celibacy anyway? How sick and perverted is that?? And, and, why can't women be priests???
10. Purgatory. Look it up. Nuff said.
11. Mass cards. Like I'm gonna help save John Gotti's (or anyone else's) soul if I purchase a Mass card.
I don't hate Catholics, some of my best relatives are Catholic, I just know I could never be one. *Shudder*
Hugs
