I appear to have made an enemy already here simply by commenting on another thread my thoughts about Jesus and Buddhism, how the two are really hardly related, and a person named "possible-san" has decided to belabor a personal attack rather than a calm discussion. I assume though that there will be many ex-JW's here though that will be that way?

Thank you for this Skeeter. Well presented. I apprecaite it. I don't claim to be an expert on my field, far from it, in fact any scholar of comparative religion must admit that he/she doesn't know all there is to know. No person can say with any dignity that they are 100% correct about any subject. The person who attacked me on the other thread simply did so out of selfish pride, I am sure, but with careful study, anyone can clearly see that the Jesus story has nothing to do with the Buddha. Buddha was an actual historical figure that lived, walked and breathed, there are numerous historical findings and settings for his existence as a human being. Jesus, of course, is just a story in a collection of tales written long after the time period in question, by unknown authors, with times, place and people all out of sequence from actual historical data. Once again, thank you though for the caution on the emotional status of many ex-jw's. I shall consider it.
