  jesus was a perfect sinless human (they say) who came to die for mankind.

  he gave up his perfect life for all.

  selfless?

  I find it fascinating that this logic is so clear that a "Jesus" believer won't respond. It shows how weak the argument for a self sacrificing messiah really is when compared to reality. Thanks for your comments "fearless 7" as I have now named you! LOL

  Jesus was a perfect sinless human (they say) who came to die for mankind. He gave up his perfect life for all. Selfless? He was promised he would have world ruler-ship if he were faithful to death. Promised he would be brought back to life and elevated to the right hand of God. Told he could once again be God's special one over all others. How selfless was it for him to die? Look at all the perks of completing his mission.

  Brenda Lee Marquez McCool was the mother of a 21 year old gay boy who went to a bar with him to salsa dance. She had fought and beaten cancer twice. When a crazed gunman headed in their direction firing, she yelled "get down" and jumped in front of her son taking two bullets saving her son's life and ending her own. She was NOT a perfect human. She had no promise of special status with God for doing it. No promise of kingship in heaven. It was a simple act of love and selflessness.

  Who was more selfless? I vote Brenda over king Jesus. How about you?

  We had a brother in our circuit who had a voice that was high pitched and SO feminine. Yes he was married, none the less he couldn't say hello without everyone looking at each other in disbelief. His signature talk? "A Godly View of Sex & Marriage". I never laughed so hard in my life and we just couldn't bare to bring him back again. Oddly enough he was on so many Circuit assemblies in the 80's I couldn't get through the program without astonishment. I am sure if he weren't a true believer he would have been in drag.

  The clip is from the movie San Andreas, a full fledged Hollywood blockbuster, the original rip was stealing from Newline Cinema and you received stolen goods by using it again. Tsk Tsk.

  Should I stay married to my JW wife

  by gatorguy in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  me and my wife were at the beach the other day and i finally told her, i don't think i believe in god anymore.

  i fessed up to the fact that it started with me doubting some jw beliefs and then it just led me to this point where i don't even believe in god.

  i wouldn't say that i even have a negative view towards jw's or religion in general.

  If you love her how could you ask this question? I don't get it. If you are fighting all the time and miserable I could see it. Will it be that way? Only you can determine. NO kids if you are this fickle. Good luck.

  Will the talk where They say treat inactive ones as apostates back fire?

  by Crazyguy in

  a few years ago they had a similar talk and my mother stopped talking to my sister.

  after a few weeks the sister called and when mom told her my sister said but i love your my mother.

  something to that effect.

  It's hard enough to get them to shun actually disfellowshipped relatives, I doubt it will effect inactive slackers or non baptized ones. I think it is more likely that if you push your non jw agenda on them they will choose not to associate just to stop the bells from going off in their heads.

  Jehovah`s Witnesses ,/ conditioned to speak with anyone ...except any who are knowledgeable about JW beliefs .Why is that ?

  by smiddy in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  recent experiences on here about cart witnessing when an ex jw engages them in discussion , it`s not long usually before the jw excuses themselves packs up and moves on .. if they really believed they have the "truth" they should be confident enough to win their argument/discussion.and stand their ground.. obviously they aren`t.. if we believe the bible jesus and his apostles never shied away from talking to / engaging in discussions with the jewish religious leaders of the day.?.

  not so with jehovah`s witnesses they are instructed not to engage with ex jw`s , people who know what jw`s believe inside out.and can effectively refute their arguments.and point to their failures.. if their faith is that shallow that talking to an ex jw will weaken their own faith , then they really do not have a very strong foundation of their own faith do they.. smiddy.

  If you want to remain "content" with your faith, why debate with a "malcontent"? Pretty obvious isn't it. I think you're over thinking it.
