Amazing	Re: Ex-Jehovah's Witness on Catholic TV May 19th
	Blondie, Because I read your earlier comment about it, I understood that you had such a conversation with Tom.   Protestant Churches, like Catholic, in general do not demand that one accept all doctrines. But, certain central doctrines can be important, and in some cases, a Pastor and/or Church Elders in a Protetant denomination may require acceptance of certain central doctrines, such as one must believe in Jesus Christ as one's savior, etc. It makes sense to me. Some Protestant churches have a longer list of central doctrines and this can create problems for some members.   The Catholic Church likewise is not insistent upon acceptance of all teachings, though they prefer and hope that one accepts all of its teachings, especially all of the seven sacraments, Apostolic Succession and Tradition.   >>So it was not a wild question to wonder if he had joined the Catholic Church under the same premise, Jim.<<   I did not think it a wild question, but rather a reasonable and fair question. I simply answered it for you. I talk and correspond with Tom periodically. He has embraced the faith in its fullness.   Jim Whitney
