Can a Skeptic believe in God?
Answer: It would be a wise move to have "faith" in something instead of "nothing."
recently i got the winter edition magazine of the ontario skeptic news and found a great six page article on "can a skeptic believe in god?
and what a great read it was, some of the points were well versed.
it went into some detail of believers and non believers arguing about god, what i found interesting was how at the end of the argument both sides would have felt they had won the argument.

on several earlier threads i posted scriptures showing that jesus christ is now a man, and is not an angel:
o give thanks to the lord of lords: for his mercy endureth for ever.
(note: this must be the lord alone see isaiah 44:24)

After reading your post and your question, the answer is no. Jesus Christ is NOT the absolute creator and GOD of all things. He submits himself to his GOD, which is by the way, OUR GOD also. And yes, our knees will bend to the Lord, which is Jesus Christ. In comparison to humans, Jesus Christ is a God. But there is one much greater than Jesus Christ and is identified in English language as JEHOVAH. There are other names in other languages which mean about the same as the English equivalent.
Mr KIM
earlier a thread emerged, as they do so often, on whether or not god existed.
i stated that he does, unequivocally and without doubt.
i refused to preface the statement with the phrase "i believe".

from diane wilson's, "awakening of a jehovah's witness", page 265.. the society says:"rape flourishes in societies that tolerate violence and sexual manipulation.
" ( aw 3--8--93, p.4 ) what a striking parallel to "spiritual rape", which flourishes in a society that tolerates spiritual abuse and mind manipulation!.
the spiritual raping of a witness.. an organization.promises:problems are things of the past!
Blueblades,
Excellent points and information.
The following is from MY LETTER sent to the Governing Body of Elders for WTB&TS:
11. Over the many years since my association and baptism, it has become more evident that Jehovah?s Witnesses are increasingly indoctrinated to obey and follow a group of men (elders) to do their bidding without question or thought and in most cases without a sense of consequence. Sort of like worker drones or robots (without a conscience). There is nothing wrong with having qualified, ethical and responsible leaders or of course, a shepherd over the flock. However, most Jehovah Witnesses have been indoctrinated over a period of time and carefully manipulated to conform to relinquishing free will, give up analytical thinking, education, family, friends, social normality, sovereignty and perceptions. The ability to ask thoughtful questions on important issues has always been discouraged and in a lot of cases constrained and definitely looked down upon. Instead of shepherding or leading, there has been a careful effort to rule, dictate and micro-manage the lives of every brother or sister including a coerced alienation from everything and anyone except what was or is approved from the Governing Body of Elders (Watchtower Bible & Tract society). This is where the ?cult? status and label of the Jehovah?s Witness Religion being a cult come into play. Jehovah does not approve of any of these tactics and techniques. To insinuate, misapply and to twist Biblical scripture to control and coerce people for corporate, congregational, financial or personal gain, is a direct insult to Jehovah and to his son Jesus Christ and could possibly be considered by God as a sin against the Holy Spirit. However, that decision is only up to God. Have you given this any thought at all? Why have you acted this way? What are you going to do to change, or will you change at all?
Mr KIM
so who is the faithful and discreet slave?
that?s a preoccupation of the borg and well it might be as it?s their ?claim?
to authority.
The F&DS - a clergy by another name. I'll agree to that.
The FDS seems to act the same as those they have criticized.
dear baptized fellow witnesses of jehovah, .
as the memorial approaches consider that you are living today -- and have the hope of everlasting life tomorrow -- because the blood flowing through your veins is the result of the greatest blood transfusion in human history.
jesus christ set the precedent for blood transfusions when he transfused his own blood into everyone who has ever lived.
