Ex JW's - Which Christian denomination are you with now and why?

by Truthexplorer in

this is a question for ex jw's who have joined another christian faith group.

the purpose of my question iis to find out which christian faith group you chose after leaving watchtower and what convinced you to travel this new spiritual path you are on.

i am interested to know because i personally would like to find a genuine faith group where i can feel true christian liberty as i initially thought i had with the witnesses.

James Brown

People you tube Kent Hovind and watch it. You will see Cofty is full of garbage.

No you haven't. You have demonstrated many times that you have not got the first clue about evolution.

Back at you Cofty.

All you need to do is listen to Kent Hovind an you will be straightened out.

But not even your God Richard Dawkins will listen or debate him.

That is the Clincher there Dawkins is afraid of Hovind.

He will not debate him because his house of cards would come crashing down.

Any one who wants to be free from Coftys misleading dogma, just you tube Kent Hovind and listen to his series,

you will never believe in Dawkin's non scientific evolutionism again.

Just do it and you will be free. You don't have to argue with me about it.

The Reason exJWs Talk About Politics As Much As They Do Here

we nev could talk about politics.

period.

now we have the freedom of speech!

James Brown

I do think that talking about politics and religion pisses people off.

And it is hard to get all of your ducks in the row either politically or religiously.

Which makes me believe that the powers that be are very good at using and manipulating

the Machevaliean concept of dividing and conquering.

Views are opinions and opinions are like noses everybody has one.

If you are a free thinker you will not agree with others and you will always be stirring things up.

Many people don't like friction that is why they join religions and political parties.

Birds of a feather flock together.

But it can get pretty boring scratching with a bunch of turkeys all the time.

I believe the Bible and consider myself Christian.

I don't go to church. But I read my bible from cover to cover many times, and do so regularly.

I have gone through periods of agnosticism and atheism and evolutionism.

But I have settled and made my decision on God and the bible.

Here is how your beliefs fit into different systems

Jewish = 35.7%

Secular = 21.4%

Pagan = 21.4%

Christian = 21.4%

Hindu = 21.4%

Muslim = 21.4%

Wiccan = 21.4%

Buddhist = 14.3%

Mormon = 7.1%

They say you can make a poll say anything you want it to. I think this is one of those kind of polls. I think I am Christian. So I am not surprised the poll favors Jewish for me.

i saw:.

neil armstrong say those famous words...this is one small step for a man........... muhammad ali win and loose the world title 3 times.. the 1st women prime minster of the uk..

I saw the challenger rocket explode. I was standing in the parking lot at work watching the space shuttle go up and I saw it explode in the sky. That is the main historical event that I saw in person, live before my eyes not on television. As far as on television or in the paper, I have seen everything that happened since 1952 or there about.

I was born in 52. I probably started remembering things in 1957.

my wife and i are planning on taking a year off and taking a jeep and a camper through all the 48 contiguous states and alaska and some of canada.. living in florida, i have always had guns and a concealed carry permit.

but researching for our upcoming retirement vacation, it seems to me that i might not be able to legally carry firearms on my upcoming expedition.. it seems every state has different laws and licenses.

what does a camper from florida do when he goes to new york or california?

James Brown

After reading everyone's responses and researching further on the net.

I will not be taking a gun on my adventures.

It seems like to much hassle and to much likely hood of me going to jail.

Giordano. I read it. Thanks.

I have read many road trip stories starting with Jack Kerouac, Charles Kuralt. I even read a number of books about a guy who attempted to walk across the USA with his dog, Peter Jenkins. I love good traveling books.

I don't believe I am paranoid.

I believe I am experienced. That is why I explored carrying a gun.

Back in the 80's while I was in the police academy, on break I drove to Washington D.C. to see the nations capital.

I knew they had some of the strictest gun laws in the country and that I probably should not even have a gun in my vehicle. But I had my smith and Wesson 38 policemen's special in a box with the bullets out of it.

We were driving over the Potomac river. My wife was videotaping the river. The traffic slowed down.. In those days video cameras were big and bulky maybe a foot and a half long by 8 inches. They were very visible.

The traffic slowed down because 2 fellows were out of their vehicles fighting and one of the fellows had a gun in the other fellows face.

As we passed my wife was videotaping, not the 2 guys in the altercation but the Potomac river.

The next thing I know the fellow with the gun was chasing me.

He chassed me all over Washington D.C. I would loose him and he would be at the next intersection.

I would loose him and he would catch me again.

It was cat and mouse. No cell phones in those days, no way to call for help.

I lost him again.

I was scared for my life. I told my wife to take the gun out of the glove box, put the bullets in it and hand it too me.

I was not going to shoot first but I was going to have my gun out and visible if he started waving his at me. And if he shot at me I was going to shoot back.

Once I got the gun out and loaded we pulled up in front of the Smithsonian and went in and hid.

I told the police once I got in the Smithsonian. You all know what they did for me.

Nothing.

But when I came out of the Smithsonian, I had a parking ticket on my vehicle.

That is one reason. I want to carry a gun while exploring.

The most dangerous animal. Humans.

We always used to say in police work you don't take a knife or a bat or pepper spray or even a tazzer to a gun fight.
