  meet giordanobruno:.

  bible-believing christians who don't murder disobedient or alcoholic children are practicing moral relativism and turning against god's specific instructions in deuteronomy.deuteronomy 21:18-22: if a man has a stubborn and rebellious son who will not obey the voice of his father or the voice of his mother, and, though they discipline him, will not listen to them, then his father and his mother shall take hold of him and bring him out to the elders of his city at the gate of the place where he lives, and they shall say to the elders of his city, this our son is stubborn and rebellious; he will not obey our voice; he is a glutton and a drunkard.

  then all the men of the city shall stone him to death with stones.

  AIW,

  It's an interesting subject. Ofcourse most Christians don't believe we are meant to follow the old testament as law any more but we are to practice compassion and forgiveness. However I was watching Bill Maher's Religulous the other day and he kind of went point after point all of the orthodox laws that resulted in death if broken.

  I don't know the answer AIW. Thats one of the great things about not being a JW. I don't have to have all the answers. Maybe those people needed that kind of discipline and people are more sophisticated now. Maybe God changed his mind. Maybe it's all made up?

  All I know is there was a guy named Jesus and he told us to take care of eachother and walk away from a fight when we could. I really liked that guy so that's what I take from the Bible. The rest is honestly kind of up in the air for me. Maybe that makes me a bad believer but there is the truth.

  Think about Paul, the only apostle to write about homosexuality. Yet he never met Jesus... Why him?

  "It seems to me you folks are worshiping the teapot instead of drinking the tea."

  a friend just shared this quote with me.

  he read it in "pass the jelly; tales of ordinary enlightenment" by gary crowley, in which the narrator makes witty zen observations as he wanders through his day.

  while having a discussion with some jehovah's witnesses who came to his door, he tells them, "it seems to me you folks are worshiping the teapot instead of drinking the tea.

  The JW logic is so critical and externally focused. It keeps the members from truly examining their own lives if they are living up to what Jesus expected of us which was for us to take care of one another. There are some posters hear still using that same mentality. The should read the book of Mark in a Non-NWT translation. Jesus is a totally different guy than what you were told. Paul throws a big monkey wrench into things later on with his writings but I think that is part of God's plan as well.
