The only thing I can think of now in both your cases is Jesus came, not for the righteous but for the sinners and not for the rich but for the poor. Who is anyone that can say 'You can not get into God's Kingdom because you smoke or some other reason thats not explicitly mentioned in Paul's tyrade in Thessalonianas about fonicators, idolitors etc. Who are we to Judge. Show your father Romans chapter 2 were it says that those who judge will get it back at them more.

Fed up with the way JWs treat those who can no longer believe
by hotspur inmy favourite uncle died about two years ago (non-witness) and my mother couldn't tell me .

Symposium with a talk about "Human Apostates"
by Prime in"there is a symposium with a talk about "human apostates" that is very slanderous and defamatory and has the ex-jw blogosphere up in arms over it.".
if a person doesn't fit the description outlined in this talk, the talk isn't referring to you.. .

It seems to me that Rutherford sent a letter trying to budy up to Hitler saying we are not against you and we hate jews too, but when thay didnt get the responce he wanted then Rutherford started publicly and through writings saying all sorts of bad things about hitler. So did not Rutherford seal the fate of the JW's in Germany? If nothing was said and Rutherford stayed out of the political arena like Jesus said to do, then maybe the JW's would not have suffered as bad as they did. Am I wrong on this?????

Paul's rationale...
by NeverKnew inas a non-jw discussing "the only true" christianity with jws, i brought up romans 14 for obvious reasons.
after reviewing the chapter as a whole and asking appropriate questions, i went back up to verse 11 and sincerely asked, .
"by the way, how are comparative verses like romans 14:11, isaiah 45:23 and phillippians 2:9-11 interpreted in your faith with the same language being attributed to the father in the ot and jesus in the nt?

Jesus never took credit for himself and always referred everything to his father even prayer. Also If Jesus was God or part of God then Satan would have never tempted him they way he did when jesus was in the wilderness 40 days. The Hebrews were monotheists, but around them were many nations that were into trinities. Just a study of history alone, one can see how and why the trinity became part of the christian ideas later on after christ died. It makes sense to me that Jah was the [man] before Jesus, then when Jesus came Jah gave the whole mess to his son. 'This is the one I approve listen to him'

Wordyword, unfortunately there's not much you can do except read your bible and take comfort in Christ message. Jesus is the 'way the truth and the light' not some man made ORG. The JW religion denies people the kingdom because they say that only 144K can partake of the Emblems and the bible says in John chapter 6 that 'anyone' can and will receive life. You may say to your parents that you wish to come back but need him to help you regain your faith in the ORG. and that you hope he can help you with some of your doubts. Then put together some nice questions as well as some scriptures that blows up the ORG's thinking and ask away. Maybe in time you can put enough doubt that he will loosen up on you. While you're doing this remember to continue to show him what Jesus did and preached 'Love your enemies' maybe this will help too.

All Things Fulffilled In The1st Century
by maccauk11 inall things were fulfilled in the 1st century.it was obvious the messiah was talking to the people in that generation not a generation 2000 years later.. christianity has for 2000 years placed itself in the shoes of those 1st century beleivers and think all things pertainott hem today.when infact none of it does.
the prohecise of the messiah cmae true in the 1st century including revelation which is symbolic, metaphorical apocolyptic language showing all tha thad been done .
the kingdom is here.the king rules and has done for 2000 years.

Thats so right pretty soon there will be 'how to make a sponge cake' in the watchtower mag or 'is your arthritis acting up how can god help'. they have really nothing to talk about anymore.
