thought you all would enjoy this.. i went to a b'day party for a friend who is a bible-thumper in the worst way!

(10x worse than most jw).. i'm sitting around like a zombie while everyone is talking about how "blessed" they are to "know christ" blah blah blah blah blah.. then my interest got peaked as one of the women started quoting scripture talking about how the reason her life is blessed is that her great great grandmother was a russian mennonite blah blah blah and the bible says that god will bless your offspring if you come to know him.

blah blah blah.. so i start asking a few well placed questions like "well what does that mean for the poor muslim sop whose great great grandmother was a muslim?

I cannot believe your line of reasoning.
No wonder you have no faith. You seem to believe every last snippet of radical, higher critic, atheists like the Jesus Seminar. Jack Chick? I am supposed to be offended? Try reading the N.T. in the light of context and you will need a good commentary. I'd suggest the NIV commentary by Edwards or Martin Luther's commentary on Romans.

"I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the father, except by me."

"No one can enter the Kingdom of God unless he is born again."

There is plenty of scripture to support all of the mainline protestant doctrines for anyone who wants to study the issue. Your JW brand of 'rationalism' is a tail chasing trap that leads only to the pit. They used to write really good posts on h2o that exposed the idiocy inherent in JW beliefs. Too bad you never saw them.

finding a man was always one of the biggest problems in wt due to many factors.

my last hall had 42 single women from 25 45 yrs of age many never married before.

LDH,
You know what? I've been in locker rooms and it doesn't seem like there is really much of a difference in the sizes. Also, one of the black girls that I dated in my old single days said as much....
I think it is the whole taboo thing even more than the alleged size of the tool. Of course, some ladies do LOOK for the 'Mandingo' fantasy! LOL

First of all, I did not correct anyone's grammar, that was someone else.
Second, I was merely pointing out that WTS reasoning on the Bible is usually so far off base that you can only confuse someone who is lacking in any scriptural knowledge. Evangelicals that have studied the various doctrines that are Biblical can show their veracity in the Bible.
Third, God has many houses that imperfect humans can use for worship. Differences in the true body of Christ are NOT in the areas of salvation, the nature of God nor of the two possible destinations of the immortal soul.
Fourth, there is no, 'one, true church' of any human organization and the warnings in various N.T. books against teachings clearly apply to specific heresies that were present at that time. Jesus' parable of the wheat and the tares shows this in an obvious way.
Fifth, people who have not taken the time to investigate the alternatives to the WTS are only denying Christ. If your last day occurs tomorrow, where will you be, saved for an eternity or lost for an eternity?
Sixth, your 'killing the messenger' while ignoring the implication of said message.

Did you know that God's grace is free and cannot be earned?
All that is required is for you to believe in the sacrifice of our Lord at the cross, ask forgiveness and repent of your past life of sin! Pick up your cross and follow Christ.

God loves you. John 2.16,
You are a sinner. Romans 3.23,
You are now dead in sin. Romans 6.23,
Christ died for you. Romans 5.6-8,
You can be saved by faith alone. Acts 16.30-31,
You can know you are saved. 1 John 5.10-13,
You can be obedient Acts 5.29

Read these with an open mind and open heart that God may bring salvation to your soul! It's time to shed your former beliefs and ask the Lord to whow you the way.

These are "Oneness" believers, another heresy that compares to arianism that the JWs practice. The saddest thing about this is the knee-jerk reaction that ALL Christianity is like this. Another slander perpetuated by people who can't get away from the demons of their former religion.
We also have only this fellow's side of the story and have not seen that there are real answers to many of the 'contradictions' in the Bible. I recommend that you read McDowall's "Evidence that Demands a Verdict" and "Answers to Tough Questions".
Any work of Rob Bowman's will show you how obvious the trinity really is.

What do you make of this?

i was wondering what some of you might make of this.

a friend of mine who is still somewhat active just told me about something interesting that happened in his congregation a week or two ago during the wt study.

a publisher raised his hand to comment and related an experience he had while doing magazine work in a parking lot (ugggghhhh!!!

Rex B13

Do you have a Southern Baptist church in the area? Let them know what time the 'dubs are usually there and get them to 'witness' to them! Any evangelical that knows scripture can turn the wacky theology of the WT back on them.

Amen to that post!
My family and I are all saved, born again Christians and we love going to services....and doing our own miinistry and missions work that actually helps people who need it.
I am now teaching adult Sunday school and preaching part time, my wife and sons are involved in missions and the youth group at our church. We have praise and worship that is great, good music and real spirit, not dead songs about field service.
I understand the Bible Students still use our hymnals and at least they get some decent worship in. Some of the Christian rock is really good and most of the praise songs are fun to sing.
I really enjoy the old classics like, "How Great Thou Art", "Holy, Holy, Holy", "Amazing Grace" and the "Old Rugged Cross".
God Bless you,
Rex

Get this Lindy,
One of my younger brothers was dating this sister who already had a child. They were getting serious enough that he gave her a engagement ring. After about a year of their romance, a bright young elder's wife died of cancer and guess what?
One day she walked into that elder's hall, arm in arm (5 months after his wife died) with the bro after having given my brother NO WARNING. Man, that hit him like a ton of bricks. He went on to alcoholism (another great idea from Rutherford) and took years to recover.
Isn't that wacked?

Alan baby,
Evolution is under consistent attack for it's numerous drawbacks and speculations, much exposed here and elsewhere. No one except a meticulous and arrogant egghead like you NEEDS to write several page reports. You waste your time and effort on a useless pursuit:
The fact is that God walked the earth and HE confirmed the veracity of every 'jot and tittle' of the Bible, regardless of your alleged scientific evidence or skeptical analysis.
So much of your claims on the Flood can be explained by catastrophism and the results of that very flood. You Know is pointing out your errors, yet you are still blind.

Hey 1,
Those girls need to get into some advertising and find Joe Country out in the sticks. Long distance romance often leads to marriage. The guys that have it made are the young studs, especially black. They can march right up to sister White-as-Snow and the old man can't say a thing about it.
With all of that going on it sadly leaves out many of the older, darker and 'already with children' sisters. Another problem is that guilt thing..you know, when they do something off the wall with hubby, then run and tell Bro. Strict what they did. Some of them are really goofy.
Then you have the othr extreme. Some of them get married and discover that their elder/ms don't have the ability or the equipment to satisfy them. LOL

Yea, who gives a Rat's behind? Your 'reputable' science is overly speculative and highly questionable is several areas. BTW, if you have to thump your chest about your alleged success in debating the amateurs here, then you are extremely insecure.
Why don't you go over to ICR and get your 'head handed to you'?

BTW, have you figured out the doctrine of election yet?
Did you know that some of your greatest hero's say that the main protestant doctrines ARE the most corect?
If YOUR science is so correct, then why do so many intelligent ex-JWs (that you admire) still believe in Yahweh?
