  I don't need Jesus to be a loving person

  by Fester in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  wanted to start a new topic, one based on the idea of those of us who are naturally loving, naturally kind, and naturally good people, without the bible or without anyone else telling us otherwise.. it wasn't long after i found out that the majority of the religious history i studied was a dead end road that i also discovered that i can be a friendly happy person, living a perfect life (in my mind which is good enough for me), not a thief, not a killer, paying my taxes and steering clear of everyone out here with an agenda.... i started this thread for those of us who are truly free and truly open minded, who have no religious crutch whatsoever.. if you're among that group or lack thereof i should say, welcome to the thread!.

  ..... now some unloving words from jesus and the bible to back this belief....... .

  luk 14:26 "if anyone comes to me and does not hate his own father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters, yes, and even his own life, he cannot be my disciple.

  How Can Jehovah be Perfect If We Aren't?

  by WalkTall in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  something that was said at the meeting yesterday made me think about this.

  you know how the organization is always using the illustration of the broken mold and how adam could only pass on imperfection to his children because now he was imperfect.

  how do they rationalize the fact that a perfect creator made people who were capable of making an imperfect choice?

  who does Jehovah hold accountable?

  by wasblind in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  an elder once told me "that if the spiritual food he recieves is wrong, and he follows it ,jehovah will not hold him accountable".

  all through out the bible it incourages a person to test, ask and seek, and to make sure of all things, so how can he not be accountable ?.

  what is the best scripture that would show him that he's accountable for what he recieves.

  News flash from JWs! Quick run for your lives! We're doomed! the end is nigh! and its all down to the oil...

  by highdose in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i got an email from a jw relative.

  they reckon that they have read a indepth report about the us oil spill and according to that.. the oil spill is too big to be plugged.. its going to posion all the earths oceans.. which means they won't be able to produce o2.. which means that all life on earth is going to die.... which is a fullfillment of the scripture " unless those days were cut short no flesh would be saved".

  which means... duh duh duh!

  bane claims that he is using the authority given him by the bible by coming here.

  for instance, he has claimed the following:.

  "i haven t acted in any way that the bible doesn t give me power to.

  All about Shelby

  by watersprout in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i wanted to post this thread about shelby.. she get's a lot of grief by what she posts on this site, so i thought i would start a post on how shelby has helped ones that have left the borg.. i can't begin to explain how shelby has helped me, i felt like i was in a hole and she gave me answers to the many questions i had.

  no matter how many emails i bombarded her with, she always took the time to answer.

  yes there has been times when i haven't liked what she posted, but i asked christ to help me understand and he did...... shelby helped me to open my mind and come to the realisation that the borg can no longer stop me from becoming the beautiful person i was destined to become.. i think i speak for many when i say thank you shelby!!!!.

  hi tec,.

  i'd like to publicly ask you about a few things.

  i notice in a lot of your posts you talk about your "faith".. can you define exactly what "faith" is though?

  Seems to me a bit of a mirror...

  by gubberningbody in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  god creates man in his image, man imagines god to be the best version of him or her self.. does either have any possibility?.

  if all our thoughts about god are limited, and i think most jw's would somberly nod their heads to that, then wouldn't it likewise be true to say that you can evaluate the contrapositive of the same and conclude that the god that made us, if the case is such is rather limited as well?.
