what i wanted to say to you is this, and yes, while i could have sent this to you privately, my earlier comments were public and so i thought it fitting to make these in public as well:.

I don't know what the problem is, but Larc has always been a pretty fair guy as far as I am concerned!

Do we have double standards about JWs?

by Skeptic in

jw
friends

do we have a double standard as far as jws are concerned?

yes, i know that their claims of being better than any other religion sets them up for higher expectations.

and yes, generally jws are judgemental.

Hi, Skeptic! I know what you are saying, and yes, I agree that there is good and bad in everyone. But the Watchtower religion is a cultic religion; the same cannot be said of everyone!

I cant believe this Trinity lark

by Hamas in

one of the main things that hits you when you leave the jw's is that maybe you haven't got all the answers like you once thought, so you begin to question everything, wouldn't you agree?.

well, my eyes were opened to the prospect of living in heaven, and not on earth like the dubya's preach.

i have listened to plenty of audio files from people that have left the witnesses and have became born again and if that floats your boat then thats great !

Francois,

Spanner, did I say that? Did I say any of that? No. I don't believe that Jesus Christ is any part of the Trinity.

OK, keep your hair on, old boy! Just a bit of ribbing!

Francois,

But one thing I have come to believe is that Jesus Christ is NOT the second person of the Trinity.

Are you saying that you believe Jesus Christ is the first person of the Trinity?...(Or the third?)

Another Question for Those Against Capital Punishment

by StinkyPantz in

which is worse?

a convicted murderer getting executed or a convicted murderer being released after serving the minimum of a life sentence, 15 years?.

btw, before anyone even mentions the low recidivism rate of murderers, you must realize that that is only for those that have been caught.

I cannot see ANY reason for NOT getting rid of scum ( by lethal means ) that have caused a real ( lethal ) danger to peoples' lives!

Why pray?

by ashitaka in

i was just outside a few minutes ago, thinking about a friend who is having problems.

i bowed my head and closed my eyes, because i'm a bit tired.

suddenly, in my head, i started to pray.

Dansk,

Don't wanna rock the boat, mate, you know me . But can you explain why you said:

I cannot believe in evolution.

Are you saying that there is no evidence that evolution, as a concept, exists or has taken place, or are you basing your opinion on a cultic fundamentalist view that the Bible must be adhered to at all times ( a view that I thought you had rejected )?
