  Being a Christian means you become a member of Christ's church or the body of christ.

  I wouldn't sweat the details man. No denomination is going to save you. If you want to be a Catholic , it's all good.

  I have often it strange that people with a serious religion education on both a secular and spiritual level aren't lining up to become jehovah witnesses.

  Has anyone either heard of a pastor, priest or professor of theology becoming a jehovah witness?

  Mormons vs. Jehovah's Witnesses

  forgive me if this has been covered before but i haven't seen anything about it recently.. in exploring the two faiths, mormons vs. jehovah's witnesses, which were both founded in the 1800s with the mormons being slightly a slightly older religion it seems mormons is a more attractive religion than jehovah's witnesses.

  do not get me wrong, i'm not looking at joining the mormon church.

  but i still enjoy studying other faiths and different belief systems.

  I have seen a program once about the book of Mormon and how there is basically no archaeology evidence that anything in it has a lick of truth.

  It is completely insane to me but general ly pretty harmless.

  I cconsider things cults more on there destroying lives and families than actual theology.

  elder: plese watch the november programm on jw broadcasting.. me: what i hope for is the change of the doctrine that states that jesus is not the mediator between jehovah and all jw's but only between jehovah and the 144000. i believe jesus is my mediator even if i am not one of the 144000. .

  elder: may jehovah open your mind and heart.

  me: may he open everyone's mind and heart.

  I don't think the average jw even realizes the chronology of their religion.

  Essentially the new testament was just written for the magical 144000 which was later revised only people in the borg at 1919 and no later than 1935.

  Then in 2013 the entire body of spiritual annoited christians was replaced by the fds.

  I really how many dubs realize this? The entire religion is based on the idea you can't have a relationship with God.

  It was actually him and his wife that gave it as a gift and it will be a least a year before he will fit into it. It was just the jw statement it made that pissed me off.

  I wonder of there are any stats on mixed households and the kids retaining the religion. I believe the odds are in my favor especially with my being just a social witness.

  You should have asked him where in the bible does it say gods final arrangement with mankind was to give us seven magical men and only though our works and obedience to the magic seven will we survive in pending armegeddon.

  Not the same guy but I would so like to send his wife a dick pic so they know what being inappropriate feels like.

  I am thinking it would be a great way to get people to mind there own business.

  My wife doesn't approve and it is hardly a hill to die on but it pisses me off. They sure as hell won't be studying with my son when he gets older.

  For the Supporters of Those Who Love Jehovah

  i am jehovah's witness, despite some of the questionable teachings, crimes, and other outlandish behaviors of specific people affiliated with the religion.

  i know that my relationship with jehovah is not influenced by any outside factors.

  i do not condone any crime.

  You can’t have a relationship with god while worshipping a golden calf.
