  Would you go running back?

  if the tribulations started tomorrow, and all you knew of the bible was what the jws had told you, would you suddenly think, "they said this would happen, and it is, therefore they must be right", and go running back?.

  or would you think, "just because eventually biblical prophiesies came to pass that "they" had read you from the bible, doesnt mean they are the chosen religion, because they get all these other doctrines wrong", and know these doctrines well enough to be able to convince yourselves.. .

  replies such as "it wont happen cause its a fairy story" wont really help..

  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.

  bts: i really couldn't care whether they bother celebrating that stff. lmao I'M trying to learn how to celebrate it lol

  it all boils back down to this:

  Maybe paganism was superior to the Bible. When Christopher Columbus arrived in America the Indians were practicing brutal human sacrifices. Maybe they should have been left alone.

  Pagan morals are also much more fun than the Christian ones, just don’t expect the same level of spiritual development or even trustworthiness from a temple prostitute, than from a Christian. If you extrapolate this to the type of society they produce, you can see clearly which one is superior to the other.

  and the hipocrisy for a catholic to say the above when his own damn chrch is filled with pagan symbols and ripoffs.

  as i've said, before, what people's beliefs are are there business. for most of my life i've believed the bs and nonsense that came from the watchtower bullshit and trash society until i saw the error of my ways.

  what was said above though is unconscionable and jst plain disgusting, hence why i've been on my rants and i'm amuused at the backtracking bllshit and total misinformation that followed

  the jws, catholics, mormons, and a handful of others say they are the "true church" or what jesus originally intended.

  i know jws call themselves the "true christians".

  by what authority - outside of the bible, since 41,000 denominations use the bible to back up their individual beliefs - can jws make this claim?

  so your argument is basically, "they did it so it's ok we did too!"

  lol

  and exactly what was your point about an xmas tree (pagan if i'm not mistaken)?

  hmmm and easter....pagan if i'm not mistaken.

  interesting images of pagan items...within the vatican

  i see christmas trees and an obelisk...so exactly how is christianity any better than paganism? lmfao

  also, thank you dgp for posting FACTS, the figres from carribean countries are even uglier when it comes to the loving kindness bestowed from the christians to the natives

  But NewChapter, if God did not directly interfere in the lives of the ancient Hebrews, don't you think His Word would have vanished into obscurity? And how would that have fared for the future freewill of humans? God should have allowed truth to slip into obscurity and evil to dominate, thus skewing the balance of choice?

  not at all. the bible could survive, jst as cuneiform tablets srvived for all those years.

  to assume that humans could not have come to the philosophy of freewill without the bible doesn't make sense. the greeks had a democratic society well before large swaths of the bible was ever conceived.

  hindus and bddhists also have a philosophy of free will as well and they are not in any way from the bible.

  did i say YOU enslaved people? no

  but YOU are the one who was putting out that, and i QUOTE FROM YOU:

  The thing is Jesus didn’t found any Church, but he did say to Peter that he would build his congregation on him. It seems the Catholic Church (which also means Universal), is the only one that can honestly claim that was built on that rock mass, that is Peter.

  sure sounds like: "we're the only ones with the truth!" to me and if that WASN'T your meaning, you had some very poorly choiced words

  Feed the hungry, clothe the naked, be merciful, love your neighbor and your enemy, confess your sins to one-another, eat my flesh and drink my blood, baptize all nations in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, "this is your mother" referring to Mary who says "all generations shall call me blessed", participate in the communion of saints, institution of the office of Peter as the head of the Church on earth....

  YEP, SOUNDS LIKE THE CATHOLIC CHURCH TO ME!

  that wold be from orthodox1...sounds very much like what you wrote.

  then there's this...

  People that claim to be Christians but don’t follow him, specially those in a position of teaching or shepherding others, are the wolves in sheep clothes he warned about.

  and this:

  Maybe paganism was superior to the Bible. When Christopher Columbus arrived in America the Indians were practicing brutal human sacrifices. Maybe they should have been left alone.

  Pagan morals are also much more fun than the Christian ones, just don’t expect the same level of spiritual development or even trustworthiness from a temple prostitute, than from a Christian. If you extrapolate this to the type of society they produce, you can see clearly which one is superior to the other.

  both from YOU.

  so all of a sudden you want to say no one should be offended by others believing whatever they want? get real. as i've already stated in my very first response to orthodox1, i don't care what anyone believes. if you want to believe in unicorns and magic pixie dust, so be it. live and let live i say. that's part of the reason why i left the cult that claims to be the one true cult.

  where i take issue is the underhanded and sneaky way orthodox1 came on here to proselytize.

  where i take issue with you are the numerous false truths and the incredibly offensive statements about pagans. i mean really, do you NOT see how hypocritical and offensive that was?

  facepalm. absolute face palm. you dare to say that pagans produce inferior societies, that pagans don't have the same level of spiritual development, equate them to temple prostitutes and say that they have deficient morals, but then want to trn around and say, "oh please stop persecuting me!!!"

  my conclusions are based on factual evidence. the events on la amistad are very well docmented and that was NOT the only slave ship. the horrors of the slave trade are out there in REAL history books, not the one that has zero factual evidence to spport anything it states. nless you have some sort of evidence that at some point there really was a guy who walked on water and healed the sick and raised the dead.

  really, there's no difference between the tales of jesus and many other pagan stories. i would argue that jesus is just a jewish ripoff of ancient egyptian mythology. or...them egyptian pagans whose societies were so far beneath the christian ones. it's rather fnny...so if christianity is not muuch more than a ripoff of jewish mythology and jewish mythology isn't much more than a ripoff of egyptian mythology which is decidedly pagan...then doesn't that mean that pagan societies aren't any better or worse than christian societies?

  is it really now? so the catholic church earlier condemns slavery, only to turn around and find biblical ways to justify stacking africans in the bowels of slave ships once the new world was "discovered" so as to help increase profits.

  i don't care one way or the other for the catholic church. i deal with catholics everyday. many of whom i like

  what i don't like is what you, isidore and orthodox1 said. i absolutely HATE the tone that was in the other thread, and i'm simply disgusted by your comments about pagans. not only was it offensive, but i'm very much reminded how hypocritical religious people can be. very much like the jehovah's witnesses.

  "we're the one true organization! look at how LOVING we are!"

  all the while either destroying pagans, forcing religious beliefs on others, waging wars, and destroying lives with cover ups, scandals and false teachings
