i thought after recently reading the bible i would put up for disussion some recent scriptures up which for me show that jesus never viewed himself as god and anyone listening would also see it this way too.. first mark 10 :17-20.
17as jesus started on his way, a man ran up to him and fell on his knees before him.
"good teacher," he asked, "what must i do to inherit eternal life?
Deputy,
Your asking the tough question that most , all seasoned JWs and anti trinitians can never answer. "What came down from heaven?" Ah yes the hoop jumping begins.
Joseph....Ever find out why Yahweh shares his glory? Which in turn contradicts "thus saith the LORD" You certainly recall that hoop jumping fest from a couple of years ago.
Quote of the day " I know thats what is says, but thats not what it says"
Fresia, have you ever obsevered the Mormons? They are 2.5 times the size of the Witness, and are growing faster as well. You clearly have a skewed view of world religions and the goings on.
in the two kevin smith spoken word videos, he tells a story about how he goes out to paisley park (prince's studio's) and basically ends up filming a documentary on prince's new album, the jw's, etc.
in the second spoken word film, he talks about how prince wanted to use the footage as a jw recruitment film.
now, smith is the director of clerks, mallrats, dogma, great dirctor, but dirty, dirty films, and dogma is one of the best indictments of religion i've ever seen.
I dont think Terrance is an official dub, although he stated something like" I could not be a witness in my current lifestyle" I would say he's loosely connected. I think Prince is a great composer writer etc, but the fact he allowed himself to be controlled is very telling.
i truly appreciate this website and all of the posters on it.
its nice to be able to have a support group like this.
i honestly dont think i would be able to function (without losing my mind) if it werent for this website.
On the surface the Org. doesn't "appear" to be a mind control cult. As we've read hear so many times about the anguish associated while trying to adjust to a life outside the org.
And why is this? Like the banner says on Randy's site "Free Minds" any other label just would not fit.
Ellderwho of the freemind generation.
if you are searching for jesus i may be able to help you find him.
he is in the bible.
its like magic.
Luke 4:18-19, you must prove to yourself you are in the faith.
Whats that got to do with your so called "proving yourself in the faith?
i have read a lot of posts since coming to this site and a lot of you dont seem to have a realistic view of god.
so tell me who do you think he is?.
please keep your comments simple and to the point .

and a lot of you dont seem to have a realistic view of God
The premise you set is according to your own "realistic view" of God.

realistic view of God
You have set a premise according to your take on God.
once upon a time, there was a vast empire that was born of out events around 1914. it demanded that its youth become "pioneers".. it grew rapidly and published endless statistics of growth.
it attracted an ever-growing number of desperate people in the 3rd world.. however, what no one seemed to notice, amidst all the evidence of its growing might, was that its empire was a money losing proposition.
and that it made endless numbers of enemies thru its aggression.
Great topic Met.
The towers have always played with the #s. If they cant settle on who's coming back from Sodom, should I trust there reporting of publishers. They have always pumped up numbers.
Look how the "annointed" numbers have spiked and fell off, until some damage control was brought in. Like changeing what a "generation" really meant.
I think its more of a publicity move than anything else.
Same ole BS.
today i go for an interview for my dream job.
i start the sojourn in a few minutes, as it is a 3 hour drive.
please send good vibes and/or prayers my way if you are able.
Dont loose eye contact with your interveiwer. Dont fold hands or legs. Ask to repeat questions if more time is needed to BS an answer.
