  there are many people out there willing to die or kill for what they believe in.

  i was one of those in my early twenties.

  i was a self righteous pioneer and bethelite willing to die for what i thought was "the truth".

  There's nothing dangerous about being willing to die for what you believe in. What is dangerous is the people who don't believe in anything up to that point. They cannot treat life with the same outlook the most honest people take and they usually are more likely to kill and die for nothing at all. Those types of people are usually atheists.

  What is the purpose of life?

  while reading the magazines the other day it occurred to me that jws never really had a very good answer to that question.

  because it was aimed at young people and it said something along the lines, "if you believe in god you have a purpose, but if you don't believe in god your life has no purpose or meaning".

  i think that is a faulty analysis of the situation.

  Our fulfilling the law in loving others is not the ground of our justification. The ground of justification is the obedience and blood-shedding of Christ alone, appropriated through faith alone before any other acts are performed. Our fulfilling the law is the fruit and evidence of being justified by faith. But how and can we justify this faith? In just one scripture it adequately describes how we all let alone this demonstration, of what is to be expected of the Lord. Orphan Crow, I'll have you know that it indeed was not purposeless why and God let his own son go through that. It cannot be purchased in the wrong way because we read in Romans: "By the works of the Law no flesh will be justified in His sight; for through the Law comes the knowledge of sin. But now apart from the Law the righteousness of God has been manifested, being witnessed by the Law and the Prophets, even the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all those who believe; for there is no distinction" Why did I have hat scripture because I wanted you to know why I think it isn't "pointless" as you say.

  Does everyone else see that? An evildoer decided to speak her idiocy again. It's all she got, though.

  Whatshalllcallmyself, just stop. I am in no way promoting mass murder. And by saying I am you are accusin me of actually being that way which I'm not. I believe in the commandments and have no affiliation with those who use God to promote their own warped destructive motives. So please don't put me in the same light as them because that would be prejudice. God does not promote mass murder because if he did he would not have written in the Ten Commandments that we all should not murder. Anyone who knows about Judeo-Christian should know this.

  BB, Viviane is a know-it-all so I guess her brain is shrinking by the day and hour. I'm not a know-it-all, I just believe that God is the true God and I have no plans to stop that please because I have begin to think for myself ever since I quit the organization due to learning TATTT.

  You are very wrong. Children don't know any better to believe in those things but God's faithful followers know better that he exists. Belief in God is not something that's only attributed to children. That's a dumb thing to believe. Lots of great hearted people believe that they were created. And for your information, I am a very mature adult, probably more mature than you, in spirit.

  Even though I don't agree with what you said about the tooth fairy, you're right in most of the things you said. I came here myself to a place where most people don't have faith, so what did I expect? I expected at least some form of respect, and I got it from a FEW great people on here. It's true that I don't have to take the crap by those who disrespect God because at the end of their life, they will be the ones to receive judgement, not me. It's just really hard to imagine that a person could live their life and have no regard for their responsibilities to respect, trust, and serve God. It's just crazy to me, but like you said, everyone is different and has their own motive even if it is crazy and lacks holiness. Again, this is the internet after all, and disrespectful people are inevitable but like you said Lisa, I don't have to take their mess because I have blessings, and they don't.
