    However, I thought, the fact, that esp. the preaching work needs an organisation proofs that they are not supported by a higher power. If god (in case he exists) really wanted a group of people to preach some good news, why does he need a human construct like an organized religion ?

    Muslims got an even stronger conversion method as well as preaching. Scientoligists are really strong recruiters. Seems everybody and their dog preach. What about all those tv idiot talking heads?

    'but the popular view amongst ex-JW's that completely solitary worship is ok is just as fallacious as the idea that we must be part of a global unified organisation. ;

    Why would completely solitary worship be fallacious? If jesus was really there, it wouldn't be solitary anyway, cuz jesus would be the second person. If jesus was really there, both solitary and super church, or even world church would be ok. If jesus was really there, the size of the groups wouldn't be an issue. Jesus would be. And, there would be allowance for each persons version/vision, the way jesus was to them. The various versions would not be a challenge to others, cuz they KNOW that they got their own vew of him. It would be an OPEN religion.

    If jesus was really there, faith wouldn't be necesary. For instance, someone who has a cat or dog, they don't need faith that they have a cat or dog. They KNOW they have a cat or dog. A person who did NOT have a cat or dog, and wanted one, they would need faith that they would one day have a cat or dog. However, once they have a cat or dog, faith is gone, replaced w knowing.

    Another thing. Muslims got jesus too. However, in there part of the world, mohammed kicked jesus' butt. Jeus is still there, but, he had to get in line behind mohammed. Why is that?

    Satanus, Have you seen this book- a nice historic sum up of all Judeo-based religions.

    Jesus obviously wasn't including himself at Matt 18:20. He meant two or three humans gathered together in his name.
