  mass immigration in the world "seems" to have led to a rise in anti -semitism in the west.

  france now has more than six million muslims.. germany now has four million muslims.

  the netherlands has almost one million muslims .

  rjharris-

  a Jew is a person who was born one and who comes from that lineage.

  Religion does not and cannot change a persons lineage. You try to speak for god about who he thinks is a Jew or not. You can believe whatever you want, but it is only religion. Anybody can change their religion. No-one can change their lineage.

  Your statement that Israel today is a murderer and your putting them in the same catagory as Hamas and Isis is both ignorant and insulting.

  Religion creates hatred and judgementalism. If it were up to me, all religion would be gone starting with Islam.

  Paul's words you quote as to who is a Jew contradict the Hebrew scriptures. He was creating a new religion and his words as well as the rest of the NT holds no weight- it has no authority.

  I am amazed I did not see it as a witness, (though my family did), how absurd it is for non-Jews to claim natural Jews are NOT Jews and non-Jews are. I am a Jew by birth, as are all of my blood relatives. My lineage proves who I am, not what some made up religion teaches.

  smiddy-

  the blockade is to prevent Hamas from killing more Israeli's.

  It is,as you said, Hamas and the palestinians, who want to destroy Israel, they do not want peace.

  Hamas DOES use the Gazans as sheilds.

  Israel lives under constant threat of attack by Hamas.

  Contradictory geneology of Jesus

  so i'm reading another carl sagan book and he seems to invariably find a way to slam j-dubs in each one.

  (i can't say i blame him.).

  anyway, in this one he discusses the fact that the gospels give contradictory geneologies of jesus--differing lines back to david from joseph, and a different number of generations.

  Crazyguy-

  both Matthew and Luke trace Jesus' geneology back to Shealtiel. The Messiah cannot come from Shealtiel.

  Also, God promised David that Messiah will come through his son Solomon. 2 Sam. 7:12-17 and 1 Chron. 22:9,10.

  But Luke 3:31 shows Jesus descended from Nathan, Solomon's half brother and not from Solomon.

  Thus again, Jesus' geneology disqualifies him from being the Messiah.

  fine line between idolotry and branding... just sayin.... .

  I found some interesting information about Messiah's geneology at www.whatjewsbelieve.com

  For instance, Messiah cannot come through the royal line of Jehoiakim, that line was cursed, yet Jesus was a descendent of Shealtiel.

  1 Chron. 3:15-17 and Jeremiah 22: 18, 30. Verse 30 shows no-one from that royal line will sit on David's throne. Thus by his geneology Jesus cannot be Messiah.

  There is also information showing Jesus did not descend from Solomon, but the Messiah does.

  Just Curious About Something

  by EmptyInside in

  sorry,couldn't think of a better title for this post,without it being long.. i was thinking this morning,if ex-jws, who were born into the group less likely to join another religion after leaving.

  vs. the witnesses who belonged to a church before joining the religion.. from my own prespective,being raised a witness,i have no intention of joining any religion.

  and it seems that born-ins are less likely to join a religion after leaving the cult.. in my own experience,i think it's religious burn-out to tell the truth.
