  How Westernized Christianity Is

  by Skeptic in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  it amazes me how westernized peoples version of christianity is.

  mind you, i have only been exposed to the north american version of christianity.

  what made me think of this was how people today find the practice of polygamy to be disgusting.

  How are you doing?
  I see your point about polygamy and one would not be an adulterer unless I am missing something here. It would be interesting to see how common this type of thing was and when it ended.
  Slavery was often as employment is today. 1/4 of the world population were slaves during the Roman era. Christianity in it's purest sense usually leaves the norms of society in place. The primary effort is on soul winning for eternal life and this life is only the means to get to 'glory'.
  Was abortion practiced back then? Why would we destroy any life within a woman? Just caling it 'emryonic material' or a 'fetus' does not make it any less murdering babies. Do you know that the feminists claim it is 'not human' right up until it emerges? Yep, babies born premature and able to be saved are killed by the process! Did you see the pic of the operation on a mom who had a six month baby in her belly? The kid had his hand wrapped around a doctor's finger.

  Ah, the things that are done for a woman's 'comfort'.

  Richard, you are asking questions revolving around different situations, comparing apples to oranges. You also fail to acknowledge that it is God who allows all deaths, but in a physical way only. Not acknowledging the immortal soul gives one a skewed view of judgement against individuals, tribes, nations and a whole world.

  How Long Did the Transition Take?

  by troubled in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was wondering, for those of you who have left the organization, how long did the transition take?

  i mean, how long after you left did you feel up in the air, in turmoil, lost, unsettled?

  long long before you felt comfortable with the decision and basically happy with your life?

  Hi Troubled,
  I knew right away it was the right thing to do. My only concern was for my family and friends because too many of them are still fogged in and won't leave.
  We faded over the course of a few months, went to a Free Bible Student conference then wiht research decided that the hated 'Babylon the Grape' (kudos to Farkel) was right all along!
  Born again and in salvation now.
  May God bless you,

  Hey Ding Dongs and Miscreants,
  Since you all like to villify me on a regular basis, I thought it would be nice to point out just how compassionate Kent and his minions are toward JWs!
  You hypocrites turn a blind eye to your own apostate heroes while accusing me and a few others of their very sins.

  Hi Naeblis,
  I like this here>> "I am in love with my hate

  I truly resemble these words.

  The Great War!

  by Kent in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  either we like it or not, were in a war.

  an information-war; where the ones wanting to expose the watchtower are on the one side of the frontline the watchtower and their henchmen on the other.

  in any war some kind of an intelligence service is essential, and this war is no different than any other war.

  What do you think of Seeker (good or bad)?

  by Seeker in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  reading farkel's thoughts about being called names, and remembering my own discouragement about the same thing, and thinking about all the posts recently decrying the fighting and bad language, i'm curious to know how my "seeker" persona is perceived here.

  i know i have fought with some, made friends with others, so how i am perceived will be varied.

  i want to know it all, the good, the bad, the ugly.

  >I side with Seeker. Your explainations of truth have been debunked so many times here I won't bother to do it again.

  That's not only an easy out, it is a cop out.

  >As far as knowing the teachings of the protestant religions, can anybody know all the different ways they explain the bible?

  Wow! That's pretty general and conveniently so. Thousands of subjects condensed into 'explain the Bible'.

  >I have been attending an independant Christian church for about a year, to learn first hand what they do and teach. When you have seen one, you have seen them all.

  Uh, how does one church experience translate into, 'seen one seen them all'?

  >I have seen all the human faults expressed and demonstrated here.

  Christians aren't perfect, they're just forgiven!

  >It is claimed that it is directed and inspired by Holy Spirit,

  Directed by the Holy Spirit in light of agreement with the Bible, that's the key.

  >if so God is human. Religion is an invention of humans as can be seen by the history of all religions. I don't think the Creator would claim them.(If there is a Creator who made things as cruel as nature.)

  And you seem to be a liar. You are an atheist trying to masquerade as a church-goer. If you think there is no God, then why are you going through the motions?
  Sheesh, what a ditz. Next time you go to a gunfight leave the butter knife at home....

  Uh Chuck,
  Those chaps who did the frauds in a limited area of England, did NOT go worldwide with it, which is what's happening now and began even before their disclosure. Just like other unexplainable events, we look to quick to an eas, catch-all explanation.
  After all, we wouldn't want to think that our science cannot explain it all.

  Hi Seeker,
  I regularly nail you for your sometimes immediate response to my posts that oppose the clique of atheists/agnostics who are prominent here. They can defend themselves.
  I feel that you have placed too much faith in man's alleged wisdom and learning.
  You seem to associate JWism with legitimate Christianity in ways that do not apply.
  You seem to feel that any unanswered question or mystery from the Bible is an indeitment of it's truth.
  Believer's views are every bit as valid as anyone elses. Scientists are no better than any other human being in ability, integrity and in handling peer pressure.
  I just can't see any evidence from your posts that you have studied the Bible in depth, regarding the teachings of protestantism. I urge you to investigate and see just why we believe that salvation is by grace through faith alone and:
  1) Jesus and the Holy Spirit are separate persons but God in the fullest sense, Almighty, Lord of Hosts.
  2) There are only two options for mankind, heaven or hell.
  3) God's Holiness demands retribution (justice) be meted out 'according to their deeds'. Anhilationism ignores the justice due each individual, including the victim's justice.
  4) Man is an immortal being who lives within a physical body.
  5) Most important: God himself died on the cross as a propitiation for our sins, enabling any who seek Him out eternal life by claiming His sacrifice for their sins.
  Believe it or not, the above may sound foolish or even offensive but once you really understand what is being taught it makes sense scripturally and historically.
