84Faith-Apostasy-Atheism
by DoubtingThomas ini have been on m any different forums, and only carm is similar to this.. all the rest have rather hypocritical trust in god.. this and carm are for those who apostate to the wtbs and to god.. turned off by the gb, or hypocritical examples in the congregation, they drop worshiping god and their belief in the bible... for they know too much,.
that's why scripture isn't discussed, and jws like me, are demonized.. i am cool with that!
maybe some of you will come to their senses!.

So my question is why do you trust the GB on that rather important issue but not on others. Just like your view of Christendom. As you say that your faith was never built on the GB like your wife how do you decide where they are right or where they are wrong ?

Thomas your logic seems all over the place . You state that you have lost faith in the GB . Then you say that the Theology of that same GB is correct .
Yet everything that JWs believe about the Bible comes from the GB , which is why no other church agrees with it .
You made a comment about other churches not letting you think for yourself . Who is worse than the WT for that ? Followers are " strongly discouraged " from reading anything other than JW literature . No questioning teachings , flip flops and inconsistencies in pronouncements.
Do you not realise that what you hold to be the Truth about the Bible is what you have learnt from the GB ? That teaching has been " refined " or completely changed over the history of the WT . How can it be correct ?

Thomas you really are rude and not much of an advertisement for faith . Do you forget that we are told to love our neighbours as ourselves. I'm getting the distinct impression that you don't love yourself much .
Maybe because there is so much cognitive dissonance going on in your head.

Thomas you said " I guess then Truth doesn't matter " . Using a capital letter for Truth means that you are referring to the WT . Is that so ?
You ask which churches lead people to Jesus . Well not the WT who do everything to downgrade Him and push Him into the background.

David Splane...''Put Up a Hard Fight for the Faith''
by RULES & REGULATIONS indavid splane comes out firing and is relentless as to the reasons why christianity was brought down.
christianity was not broken down by persecution, but by false brothers and apostate teachings.
today, jehovah's witnesses face the same danger from false brothers and apostates.

Thomas so you don't believe the WT on issues that it suits you to doubt . However you are happy tp believe their stance on " Christendom "

road to nowhere, in 1John 3:17 we are told
" if anyone has material possessions and seed a brother or sister in need but has no pity on them , how can the love of God be in that person? Dear children let us not love with words or speech but with actions and with truth "
In the parable of the Good Samaritan Jesus makes it clear that our neighbour is not just someone who goes to our church or believes the same as us but anyone in need. That is why churches do charitable work , not because salvation depends on it . I have posted this on another thread to make this point but l think that it bears posting again .
