  I Believe Catholicism And Its Trappings Are Silly, Strange & Weird!!!

  by minimus in

  my italian friend loves going to the "feasts" that occur in italy, boston or nyc.

  these feasts feature a "saint" with dollar bills pinned around her and they parade the saint in a long procession and chant "viva (whomever)".

  they are quite serious about this and are proud to talk about the past generations of observers who appreciated the events.

  The only thing written by God directly are the 10 Commandments. Everything else was written by men. I personally believe they were inspired, but the rest of the Bible is an adition to this code of conduct that are the Commandments, and that Jesus resumed in two: love God with your whole heart, soul, and mind and your neighbour as yourself.

  I don’t think there can be any superior law to that.

  WT and the Illuminati - truth or fiction?

  i've been reading around this subject of late and it seems to make a lot of sense.

  i'm wondering if anyone is convinced and/or has seen anything that can substantiate or corroborate the 'facts' set out in these arguments.. http://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/bloodlines/russell.htm.

  i was particularly fascinated to read the following:.

  Rutherford was clearly anticlerical and with a very strong political agenda. The way he seized the WT after Russel’s death was fitting of a gangster.

  You don’t need to officially belong to a group to support their cause. In any case he shared the same goal: to bring down Christendom.

  They are really beautiful, and don’t look like the integrists the media tries to portrait Iranians like.

  This country has been disfellowshipped from the world for the last 30 years, and nobody is allowed to listen or make business with them, still they managed to achieve quite a prosperous and developed country.

  As muslim countries go, they are far less fanatic than others, so much so that they have Christian and Jewish communities totally integrated in their society.

  Bombing them is a crime.

  Our culture in the west comes from the heritage of the Catholic church. The Vatican is impressive, and why shouldn’t be? It contains the history of Christianity and Europe for almost 2000 years, starting shortly after Jesus death.

  They are involved in politics, yes a lot of priest and Jesuits have been assassinated for supporting social justice in Salvador and in other places.

  Catholics use contraceptives and nobody bothers them with that. Not sure where that policy originates, but would be interesting to find out who is responsible for it, as they know nobody follows it.

  Africa’s problems have nothing to do with Catholicism, in fact there are a lot of missions and npo helping the people there in exchange for nothing.

  The church has not burned anyone in a few centuries. Protestants also killed thousands of people in the middle ages. Thankfully things have improved considerably since then.

  If anything they are the ones being persecuted now, during the II WW and the Spanish civil war for example very cruelly, or nowadays by being constantly mocked and insulted by people that would do well having only a tenth of the culture and respect for others they have.

  do jesus words found at matthew 19:10-12 suggest that those who choose to remain single have received the gift of singleness in a mysterious way?.

  I think the only mistery here is: Who are the Readers?

  Sorry for you minimus, because there are millions of Catholics in the world, and I don’t think they have done anything to you, did they?

  Scriptures seem to hint that Jehovah/Yahweh is a SON of God?

  by EndofMysteries in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  after the past few years of trying to really figure out what the bible is teaching and no influence, one of the things has been that possibly the god of the israelites may have been a son.

  i want feedback on what i am about to show.

  this is the tip of the iceberg, just one angle of what may be going on.

  Scriptures actually say that God is one, there is no other. Isaiah 46:4-6
