  Oh no don’t say that!

  The pats are world champs, that means Jesus helped them the most, so he loves them the most. Now I'm not saying Jesus will smite you for sure, I'm just saying....

  Can you refute these?

  1. are jesus and michael the archangel really the same person?.

  one of the most peculiar of the wtss teachings is their assertion that jesus is actually michael the archangel.

  " in acts 10:19-20, this "impersonal force" considers himself to be a person.

  it's about self-discovery

  Amen, amen

  I'm not a Christian at the moment, thinking on it now, I seem to be an atheist. but my beliefs are fluid. My goal is like yours, to live an examined life. I don’t think we can escape pain or suffering with any belief system. Death, rejection, hunger, loss are part of the game.

  LOVE is the sign

  in my jc meeting i kept on at the elders about love.

  that there was no love being shown in the congregations & even toward me on how they were dealing with the whole situation & towards my mother.

  i mentioned that there were only 2 commandments given to us - 1. to love god & 2. to love our neighbour.

  Shelly now you’re talking, I can see the truth of real human experiences and feelings. We are all together in this boat and I do love you.

  I know how you feel. I’ve been here for quite some time too and can’t say I have had much response to the things I have to say. I don’t feel sorry for you but I do feel we made contact one person to another.

  I wish I was more elegant in my posting, I wish I could express more fully what I feel. I wish I could spell, I wish you could get to know me. I wish there were no pain in my life.

  I think this is a good place for wishes

  And for hope.

  Michelle,.

  Don’t go away, every one here believes and thinks differently. It’s the preaching that is a sensitive subject here most resent it. Stay, learn and contribute if you like, but everyone is attacked from time to time.

  Your not telling people about Jesus you are telling them what you were told about Jesus. This may seem to be the same thing to you but it is not.

  Need help on the trinity and John 1:1

  by toladest in

  2. beliefs

  my brother, who has been dfed for many, many years is going to a baptist church.

  he just started attending recently and had a discussion with the baptist minister about the trinity.

  my brother still believes many doctrines of the jw's.

  i know you didn’t ask but,

  don’t bother showing your brother anything. he is in battle mode and still under the WT conditioning. he will put up walls and you will become his attacker. the way out of the WT is a jagged slow road.

  This brother again went on about how we are all unified 'cos we all study the same publications at the same time....What other religion does this.......and all other religions fought against each other in world war 1 & 2........

  
  

  
  Note the brother first states that the religion is unified. With this I believe he is saying that it is the WT as a hole not the individual JW who is bound by the law. He then states that all other religions fight each other this demonstrates a lack of love on their parts implying love on the Wt's part. So he is telling you that the WT does keep the law of love but not as u and I do know it.

  I should point out that the statements are false, study does not denote unification, and the Catholic Church reads the same bible versus, and the homily are on those readings, in every church in the world on the same day. If someone were to go to mass every day for 3 years he would have almost the entire bible read to him.
