  it seems that this is the catch all question that elders like to use to prove apostasy or just to get rid of you.

  i was thinking that this is a possible way to answer the ?

  and turn the tables on them.

  Elder: Do you believe this is God's organization?

  Me: Do you have sex outside your marriage?

  Elder: Looks very upset and says something like "What a rude question".

  Me: Oh you're insulted by that question? Well, that's how I feel about your question!

  Good thinking Must Obey.

  Though it is possible that a knowledgable Witness would not reply:

  Pastor Russell & the Bible Students

  Only because Russell was dead then, he died in 1916.

  This needs repeating:

  Personnaly, I am happy that ONE government takes online child protection seriously.

  I feel no pain for those adults unable to function online without porn.

  And this;

  As a parent, I can't help be confused by objections to this measure.

  It's not censorship when they give you the option to opt out and surf porn to your heart's content.

  Funny how the people who don't want the Government involved in the Internet are probably the same people who want more social programs...run by the Government.

  It sounds farfetched to me.

  That's because it is.

  It is the figment of a very fertile imagination.

  WAR IS OVER-IF YOU WANT IT

  by proplog2 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  christmas is the time to talk about peace.

  jesus is called the prince of peace.. john lennon and yoko ono put out posters that read "war is over - if you want it".. peace doesn't depend on scientific progress.

  it certainly doesn't take prosperity and riches to have peace.

  Proplog said:

  JW's don't kill their neighbours in warfare. They would rather die than kill.

  That is an undeniable fact, and it was the teaching that kept me there for some time. I so totally agree with it.

  Why don't people harangue the millions of so called christians that carry on war contrary to their claimed leader Jesus Christ.

  That also is an excellent point, and would stop me from joining the many religions which support war.

  So why does everyone on this discussion board keep condemning nearly 7,000,000 people who have committed themselves to a life of peace.

  Now on this point Proplog, to be fair I think most of the condemnation has nothing to do with the war issue. I can only speak for myself, but my concerns are about their control tactics, glorifying themselves at the expense of Jesus, breaking up families with their shunning, their divisionary teaching that they are the only Christians on the planet and that all others are of the devil, the 1914 rubbish and other nonsensical self glorifying doctrines.

  Again I do agree with you that Christians should not go to war.

  What I am trying to say is that Christianity is not a single issue religion. And yes they’ve got that one right, but many others wrong.
